I don't care. We're going to do nuclear. I can see a number of things that could come out that would be very positive, and I want those things to happen. As a matter of fact, part of being an American – I'm going to try to make the next four years as great for America as I can. My precise complaint with some of the people I'm in political opposition for is don't ever try to break the country.

Try to always be building the country. It doesn't matter if the person you agree with is in power or not. Be working towards a good collective future. And so I'll be doing all of that. And I'm hopeful for some of that from this administration.

Fundamentally, I think it's always a good time as entrepreneurs to be building companies. So one is, like, you have a good idea of the times now, go do it. Capital markets, harder, fine. Actually, if you can get capital, you get competitive differentiation from the people who couldn't.

I mean, it's like, so you have to, it's always like trying to figure out how to turn the negatives into positives in terms of what you're doing. Now, I think Trump will be broadly very good for entrepreneurship because I think he's going to reduce a lot of regulation.

Some of that regulation will have very negative consequences on the society, which as a society person, I'll be concerned about, like climate. Like you get the new EPA person coming in, Environmental Protection Agency, and you ask him what the job is, and he says, we need to drill more oil wells, right? You're like – That's not the EPA.

That might be the Commerce Secretary or something else, the Energy Secretary. That's not the EPA. So there will be a reduction of regulation because we do have climate change. We're living in it, and it's going to get worse. So those will be places where there will be real damage from the wrecking ball.

But for entrepreneurs building new businesses, like, for example, I've invested in a number of fusion and fission businesses because nuclear, because that's the clean energy that we're going to need to to, you know, just to bring more of the billions of people into the middle class and to try to remove carbon from the environment and so forth.

So, and I've known the regulatory stuff is ferociously bad for that. Well, actually, in fact, I have hope that they are going to They're going to reset that thing. And so all of a sudden, that entrepreneurship turns out to be, in retrospect, wise. But I think they're going to reduce regulation across the board for all entrepreneurs. So I think that's helpful in entrepreneurship.

Now, they're going to be probably much more close to the border. And immigration is an important part of entrepreneurship. You want to be able to get the best talent from anywhere in the world. It's one of the advantages that's helped build the US. That, I think, is going to be more uneven. Anyway, so it's like goods and bads.

Well, by entrepreneurs, you mean zero experience ever doing the thing they were doing before?
