So 2020, or is it 2024 rolls around and you can see the pivot once, once Elon moves.

Do you remember like little insider that he shared with me is that Jason Calacanis, uh, to, for you to know how close he is with Elon, uh,

Elon's first Tesla Model S, like the first VIN number, is owned by Jason Calacanis.

He told me that.

And so once Elon essentially backed Trump after the failed assassination attempt, you can start to see all of Silicon Valley start to pivot and say, you know what?

Yeah, we're going to get behind Trump.

And so I have these touch points with Silicon Valley with like really big influential figures, but just on a not on a business level, just like.

I wouldn't say quite close friends, but as you know, more than acquaintances.

And so fast forward to 2025 in January this year during the inauguration, I'm at an Uber X party that I'm invited to.
