Elon is brilliant too. If I could have a choice between starting a company with Peter or starting a company with Elon, it'd be a very hard choice to make.

When you observe someone closely for a long time, you don't actually notice the change. You see the episodes, but you don't know how the person really changes. We've all grown up. We've all become probably more measured and slightly more careful, slightly less crazy, maybe slightly more crazy. I don't know. He hasn't changed very much.

Like they somehow make you feel that you can and should do better work. The conversation with Peter always left me thinking, the problem that I thought was really too hard to solve, I should go give it another try. I think I can. I think this is actually doable.
