And I think that that message is lost because people want him to say, Trump lost the election, you're not admitting it, you're bad. But those people also aren't hearing the point that he's making, which is that there are biases.

And we heard these biases, by the way, with Democrats in prior elections as well, where they highlighted that they believe that there were biases with respect to misinformation being amplified on social media. And then the next election cycle, they were able to step in and influence what was being changed on those social media platforms.

And so there's this big kind of war, media war going on through social media platforms. And I think that that's what both sides are highlighting is their big concern. And now there's this other big concern about is there appropriate voter verification that the people who are voting? And it's a question to ask that shouldn't be dismissed. It is a good question to ask. Yeah, that's a great question.

As a person who doesn't have a strong bias for a political party here, I feel like I want to hear answers to those questions. What is the structure of how the way that most people are getting their media today, which is through social media platforms? What is the mechanism for censorship? What is the mechanism for filtering for moderation and be public and transparent about it?

And then separately, what are the mechanisms for for deciding who gets to vote and how they get to vote. And I think those are both really good things to ask.

Forget about whatever your f***ing issues are with Elon and his politics. Just to appreciate, and we can talk about why this is so important in this segment. But technically, the achievement of this skyscraper falling out of the sky and perfectly aligning itself to go into that chopstick-catching device, it is an absolute marvel of human ingenuity.

And the work and the effort that people put into this over several decades, it's just such an incredible feat. Look at this thing. I don't know if you guys were as emotionally moved by this as I was. I thought it was incredible.

Right, you just catch it and go again. I can kind of walk through these numbers. So... Obviously, the big objective over time is how cheap can you get it to put material into space, we need a lot of material to go into space, if we're going to do things in space, particularly if we're going to go build a colony on Mars.

And so this shows you over time, the cost per kilogram, which is the key metric in this industry to launch material into low earth orbit. And you can see here how SpaceX has dramatically reduced the cost. I remember when the small sat era began in the 2010s. Do you guys remember all these startups that were starting to build like little small sats and put them up to do imaging and comms and stuff?

When this took off, It was about 10,000 bucks a kilogram to put a small sat into space or to put material into space. And then SpaceX has dropped the cost to the point that it's now close to $1,000 a kilogram. So a 10X reduction in cost in just the last decade or so. And that's why SpaceX just dominates the launch market. But Elon's always said that $1,000 a kilogram is too high
