So I think we have had people with that much power in history, but I think part of modern society is to create checks and balances, to create accountability within your government. So like, for example, Traditionally, when you have people who go into government, they put their business stuff in blind trust and do other things in order to avoid conflicts of interest.

So I think the worry is not necessarily the power as much as the conflicts of interest and navigating the conflicts of interest with ethics and integrity, which I think is the thing to watch with the next administration.

Yeah, look, and so I think we want that to be within the hands of democratically elected governments, or at least certain parts of it. And I think that's important. But by the way, you know, I mean, I think while there are things that I have been and probably will be in the future critical of Elon about, the electric vehicle revolution... owes itself to Elon.

The revolution in space ISPs with Starlink owes itself to Elon. And by the way, the initial defense of Ukraine would not have worked without Starlink. So there's enormous positive contributions here. So it's a complicated topic. Now, that being said, I would want the halls of democracy and government and the conflict of interest within personal businesses to be kept very distinct.

I think we may see some challenge in that.

Well, they actually kind of go together. Elon has a conviction that what he believes is true is absolutely true, even when all of the evidence is against his belief. That allows him to do, I can see that we can colonize Mars and here we go, right? And that creates SpaceX, that creates Starlink, that creates... And so huge amount of kudos and power.
