And Musk is ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station.

Before that, the U.S.

relied on Russian rockets.

So Musk is the U.S.

space program in many ways, or became it.

And then, you know, through his Falcon rockets, he basically established this incredible lead and cost in getting payloads into orbit.

So he is the global workhorse for getting anything into orbit.

Extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary.

skipped over part two, part two, was putting Starlink satellites, tens of thousands of satellites into orbit.

This is now two thirds of SpaceX revenue.

I mean, it's an incredibly successful thing.

He's got it way ahead of the rest of the industry.

Every other business and every other country wants to put up a network, a global network of communications satellites because they don't all want to be dependent on Elon, which they are at the moment.

So that was step two.

Step three is let's kind of clutch this thing together with, as you say, XAI, which is Musk's

money pit of an AI company, which has also been clutched together with X, the former Twitter.

And let's put it all together and call it, well, what do we call it?

And that's the amazing thing here.

I've had people say to me, this is some new style, vertically integrated

Space conglomerate for the 21st century or something, I don't know.
