I think when you're a great entrepreneur, at least if I speak for others as well, and for my own things where I've built five or six pretty big companies, I think you almost have to trick yourself, at least for me, into thinking it's going to be faster than it is, because otherwise you can't get yourself to do it.
You know what I'm saying?
Because when you start one of these companies, at least in my experience, maybe I'm just slower, but they always take longer.
They're always harder.
I think Elon has done most amazing things, but he's also made predictions where things take longer.
And I think that's just normal for a great entrepreneur.
So I think it's just really hard to know how long things are going to take.
And I think whatever someone guesses is a great entrepreneur, you could sometimes maybe add a few more years.
And so I think this thing takes a while.
That said, they're going really fast.
They have the best people in the world.
And it's really good for America that they're doing it.
So I'm rooting for them.
It's so cool.
We're just finishing our STEM building for a new university right next to SpaceX and Boring Company right there next to all this stuff.
We have 30 acres and have this awesome building we're going to be doing.
They're actually helping us.
They're going to be doing like robotics
electrical engineering and all sorts of stuff there.
It's a really fun area right now.
