Well, it's also like going back to the Jaguar, but we can tie these two things together, right?
And I think we need a variation.
in approaches.
And the point of this is like, we need more people like Elon, not fewer in the world.
Whether you agree with him or not, this is how society progresses.
We need differences.
We have an environment and people thrive or don't thrive in that environment.
Ideally, we have some sort of social safety net.
to catch people if they don't succeed.
Not ideally.
That's essential in any civilized society.
And so Jaguar, the same thing.
They're taking a bat as a company.
They're being different.
But where I was going with all of this is that going back to the Mad Men era and how you can create a billion dollar profit for the company and only get paid like 300K.
You need to watch that.
And I think, I've never actually watched Mad Men, but I think the point that I was getting at is you can also create negative value.
And like, how do you ascribe for the negative value?
I mean, the media budget for that Jaguar film, you realize, was zero.
Maybe I'm naive, like the Sidney Sweeney, American Eagle thing.
