And I'll say one more thing about SpaceX.

SpaceX has also created, and this is going to be a big part of the valuation analysis that many are doing, they've created a backup to the internet.

You know, the internet is fundamentally limited by all of the nodes on the network and the connectivity amongst all those nodes.

And that connectivity is largely driven by copper and fiber optic cable.

So in...

space with the number of satellites going up with Starlink and to actually deploy data centers that can output data on those nodes on that network, SpaceX has largely built a backup internet.

And that backup internet can coincide with the Earth's internet, but it creates this extraterrestrial communication network that gives us theoretically the ability to think about, hey, if governments collapse, if there's civilizational upheaval, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, this becomes, I think, a fundamentally kind of important technology infrastructure that's going to exist in parallel.

So I'm pretty excited about like these two separate paths for SpaceX and where they intersect with Tesla.

I think it's pretty profound at the moment.

I do think like the asteroid mining is an interesting concept, but I do think it's going to be more likely that we'll have

the need for infrastructure so we can produce ores and refine and so on versus bringing chunky rock back.

I think that you could do this very effectively on the moon.

The primary elements that are missing from the moon that we have on the earth are carbon,

nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, basically these things that make life on Earth, but that's because they primarily exist in a gaseous form, and the Earth has enough gravity to retain those gases and have an atmosphere.

The moon is too small to maintain an atmosphere.

The gravity's too little, so those gases all kind of went away.

They evaporated away in the early formation of the Earth and the moon.

But on the moon, there's everything else.

There's aluminum, there's silicon, there's palladium, there's platinum, there's gold.

There's everything you possibly need.
