You know, Tucker, I'll speak for myself on this.
I'm not motivated by money anymore.
That is not why I get up and work 18 hours a day.
I want to build something incredible.
I want my legacy from my children to be something that they're honored by.
I want to compete against the Chinese.
I don't like the Chinese government, in case anybody has noticed that over the last five years.
I don't like how they treat their people.
I don't like how they treat me in business.
I simply don't like them.
What's motivating me now with all of this barrage, this firestorm, which I understand you've experienced in the past,
is I want to beat them in AI.
I don't want them controlling the most advanced models, wherever that's taking us, because you bring up great points about the unknown in jobs and everything else.
But I want to be part of the team
that makes sure our way of life in North America remains the same for my children.
I don't give a shit about money anymore.
I don't need any more money.
I've already been very successful.
I'm very lucky, but I'm not finished.
I'm very motivated to win.
