This is somebody who Brett signal boosted as a very reliable source of information.

He kept retweeting this guy at me, against me.

And this guy, at one glance, I knew how unreliable this guy was.

But I think I'm not at all sad.

One thing I think I did wrong, one thing that I do regret, one thing I have not sorted out for myself is how to navigate the professional and personal pressure that gets...

applied at this moment where you have a friend or an acquaintance or someone you know who's behaving badly in public or behaving in a way that you think is bad in public, and they have a public platform where they're influencing a lot of people, and you have your own public platform where you're constantly getting asked to comment on what this friend or acquaintance or colleague is doing.

I haven't known what I think is ethically right about the choices that seem forced on us at moments like this.

So I've criticized you in public about your interview with Kanye.

Now, in that case, I reached out to you in private first and told you exactly what I thought.

And then when I was going to get asked in public or when I was touching that topic on my...

I more or less said the same thing that I said to you in private, right?

Now, that was how I navigated that moment.

I did the same thing with Elon, at least at the beginning.

you know, we have maintained good vibes, which is not what I would say about Elon.

I think with Brett, I failed to reach out in private

to the degree that I should have.

And we never really had, we had tried to set up a conversation in private that never happened, but there was some communication, but it would have been much better for me to have made more of an effort in private than I did before it spilled out into public.

And I would say that's true with other people as well.

Let's see if you can maintain that philosophy in the present.

Okay.
