So if they execute unstated plans and there are some of the world's greatest execution machines involved, Elon generally does what he says he's going to do. This is going to be awesome for America, for markets, for the world. And the analogy I keep coming back to is Satya Nadella taking over as CEO of Microsoft. Microsoft was a monopoly, incredibly advantaged.

It had just been horribly mismanaged for years. All he had to do to start winning was stop doing really, really dumb things. And that's an incredible place to be. America, we're the greatest country. We've got oceans on two sides, peaceful neighbors, incredible natural resources, completely can produce our own food and energy. In many ways, most privileged country on Earth.

But sometimes with great privilege comes great stupidity. And California, to me, would be a leading example of that. In many ways, most privileged state in America. And it's printed away with bad policies.

And I do think one thing that everyone of all political stripes agrees on is there are too many regulations that result in far too many administrators, far too much complexity, and an inability to build things in America. So-

It was used very effectively, as it should have been against the Harris administration, that they'd approved $42 billion for rural broadband, hadn't built anything, had approved $40 billion for EV chargers, whatever it was, hadn't done anything. And it's not that they didn't want to dig trenches and do broadband. They didn't want to make EV chargers. Their own regulations prevented them.

Why not just make them automatically sunsetting after five years if they're not renewed? Exactly. But make the process to renew them difficult and data-driven. Exactly. So if you fought for an allocation. The process of renewing them will take so much time that it will slow it down. Exactly.

I mean, more nuclear, more better. Like, I mean, I agree with everything Joe said. And the only thing I would just add is it is the most environmentally friendly kind of energy source. In some ways, it's even more... Like, I think it is highly likely that in my lifetime, the world just runs on solar. Like, if you just...
