In some ways, I can see why it's inspirational.

And what SpaceX has done in terms of building these self-landing rockets or building satellite internet that's affordable is quite inspirational for a lot of folks.

And they see these launches that happen.

At the same time, he's talking about Mars there.

And what's possible.

And a couple of years ago, he was predicting that we'd be on Mars essentially by this time.

And so when you're an investor, you know, I don't know if you can invest just on inspiration.

You know, you should probably invest in financials and and achievements and.

whether or not you hit your promises.

Yes, in some ways there's something uniquely American to it.

This idea of, you know, coming to the U.S.

and striving and achieving these, you know, incredible dreams, you know, running two companies, building them up to trillion dollar valuations and becoming the, you know, Horatio Alger president.

pull yourself up by your bootstraps kind of American success story.

And so I think that's where a lot of people draw their inspiration from him.

You mentioned the idea of him being a Bond villain earlier, but I think there are, I don't know, I wouldn't say, I don't know where the numbers pan out, but there are a significant amount of people that see him as a hero and see him as someone who is advancing American civilization or global civilization.

I think he's a complex character.

Like, on one hand, you can see the achievements.

On the other hand, people have to understand, you know, his involvement in politics and his constant tweeting and what he's saying online in terms of what he is fomenting.

But I view him as a complex character, and that's how I always kind of approach my reporting with him.

Well, it's interesting.
