Like we're kind of on the cusp of it.
Meaning of the universe, yeah.
Yeah, and on a technical basis too, people forget how good Elon is at factories and physical real world things.
What he did standing up Colossus made like, Jensen Wan was like, how is this possible that you did this, right?
So pressing that, his ability to build factories, and he said many times like, the factory is the product of Tesla.
It's not the cars that come out of the factory or the batteries, it's the factory itself.
So if he can keep solving the energy problem with solar on one side and batteries and standing up, you know, Colossus 2, 3, 4, 5, he's going to have a massive advantage there on top of Travis, you know, the missionary...
Which, by the way, was what he backed before Sam Altman corrupted the original missionary basis of opening.
I made it closed AI and, you know, nothing derogatory towards him, but he did hoodwink and stab Elon in the back.
It's nothing personal.
I mean, he just screwed him over.
Would you say he bamboozled him?
Bamboozled him?
Screwed him?
hoodwinked him you know pick your term here but uh he did it he didn't dirty the original mission was to be like a missionary open source all this content that's the other piece i think is a wild card and then i'll measure sitting keith's position but open sourcing some of this could have profound ramifications i think open sourcing the self-driving data could have a really profound impact the
Elon wanted to do something really disruptive, like he open-sourced his patents for charging.
If he open-sourced the data set and self-driving, does anybody have the ability to produce robo-taxis at the scale he can do it?
I don't think so.
Well, yes, but could somebody produce 100 million robo-taxis from a factory with batteries in them?
Okay, that's a different question.
