Tim Miller

Elon said recently in an interview with Stephen Miller's wife on a very low-rated podcast, which he did for some reason.

But he said that he regretted going in because of the hurt that's done to the company.

That feels like a not crazy path.

It's not crazy to think about that.

And I think he has become, you know, you wouldn't have been able to tell from the Sorkin interview.

I think he has become he has come to recognize that there are battles that may not be worth fighting in public and that there are moments when it might that it can be helpful just to keep a lower profile.

But again, his personality is such that that.

he wants to argue.

It's not enough to think, okay, we're just going to make a lot of money and I'm perfectly comfortable with what I'm doing.

He really does want to be out there.

And this may be tied to his background in academia.

I mean, he's a credentialed scholar.

And as I said, I mean, he likes to argue and kind of keeping the low profile and just doing the work the way other CEOs do.

That's just not his thing.

Never has been.

And I think

He feels certainly Palantir is in the spotlight now and he wants to push back hard against the critics.
