I guess you've already got a huge sector concentration.
I mean, so if you just lump another massive AI company in on top of the rest of them, then you're kind of turning the indices into one big concentrated bet on a very specific company.

It's astronomical.
I mean, you're right.
I mean, it is interesting because I do think that Musk then, he clearly has an extraordinary talent and he has built some extraordinary companies.
And, you know, for all that he's got, his critics, he's also not just, you know, he's not a chancer in terms of.

It also is competition from lots of other self-drive manufacturers.
And yet it still manages to not succumb to any kind of fundamental, I suppose.
