You say, this is how it's going to be until you get your act together.

You remember being a teenager and your parents say, you're grounded until X, Y, and Z. Bring up your grades, solve your problems, and then we will talk about altering the deal.

You say, but this deal has so many problems.

If it's like this my whole life, if I'm grounded for the rest of my life, that means I'll have no social life.

And your parents are not necessarily looking to ground you for life.

They're saying, right now, you're grounded.

And I think that that's what you're seeing right now.

It's not necessarily a lifetime commitment.

There are a handful of things where we are not, but in most cases we are.

So like you brought up Ohio, we're building this huge plant, Arsenal One in Columbus, Ohio, where we're building autonomous fighter jets and a bunch of other things, building about six million square feet there.

We're actually ahead of schedule on that.

We had a bunch of people from Ohio that we hired, the first round of factory workers.

We brought them out to California on our dime, so we're housing them, we're paying them, and we brought them so that we could put them into our existing factory, teach them how Andrel works,

We indoctrinate them into our way of manufacturing, our way of thinking, and we've actually already finished that training process, and we've already sent them back to Ohio where they're helping stand up the factory.

We're going into production this summer, and we have a new batch of people that have already been sent back.

So on Arsenal One, we are ahead of schedule.

We are hitting our commitments.

I think we're building a new plant to build new things, and we're doing it on our own dime.

We're spending $900 million of our own money to build this plant.

So some of these things I can talk about, some that I can't talk about.
