And so I think that says something, and he has been very focused on it.

Freeberg, your thoughts on the SpaceX IPO and what this collection of companies might look like a year or two from now, especially if, like many people believe, Tesla and SpaceX merge.

What do you think of $ELON?

as an entity, and what impact it might have as if those two were put together in the market cap, we'd put them in the fourth largest company in the world.

Yeah.

Most people don't remember this, but when Elon was starting SpaceX, the original idea...

when he was running around with the DAO and they were looking at some rockets and getting carriage from Russian rockets was to back up the biosphere.

And he came back from that trip and I remember talking to him about it and he said, I think I just have to make my own rockets because that's actually where the problem is.

And it would be easier just to make my own rocket to back up the biosphere.

And he wanted to put geodomes, like geodesic domes in space.

with all the plants and wildlife and creatures.

And what incredible vision.

And then, you know, there was the necessity of actually getting that up into space.

And that's the unknown origin story.

I will say this, Chamath, the idea of putting data centers in space seems completely doable, even though there are a bunch of people who are saying it's not.

when you compare it to what happened with SpaceX, with Starlink, which people said also wouldn't work.

And now he's got 10,000 Starlinks up there.

The difference between a Starlink satellite and a data center satellite is really not that different.

And they're pretty different.

Well, conceptually, of course, they're physically different.
