They couldn't figure out how to tax the water. Are you shitting me? Because the air belongs to the government. This is the major problem we have right now, which infests innovation, it infests truth that you're trying to tell, and it is the administrative state that thinks it knows better, and it will basically forbid somebody from saying something they don't want them to say.

So the journey for innovators to actually break out, not to mention that the municipalities, their main source of wealth is the taxation of electricity, the taxation of water. water and electricity.

Imagine now you can decouple from the municipalities the revenue of water. Now, there has to be some taxation because if you, like the water generator, you generate, let's say, 200 gallons a day for your home. But that water has to go down a drain after you're done showering or flushing the toilet. So you need to pay for that infrastructure of the drains and then the cleaning of that water.

Sure. There you go. But this is why, because Elon Musk was not going to put it down the drain. He was going to reuse that water every launch. But they were like, how do we tax it? And so it was going to take them 10 years and studies to figure out what this was.

And I know that's... Yeah, yeah.
