I mean, what happens?

You know, I heaven forbid, but what happens if you get run over by the proverbial bus tomorrow, you know?

It is you to you have total control over these companies.

Do you have a plan for how they would progress without you?

You mentioned uh uh Mars.

You know, most people think of you a as the man who wants to, you know, create a colony on Mars so we have multiplanetary civilization.

You have, but now you seem more focused on AI and what AI will do in the next ten years.

And you s you sound much more excited about using the moon as a base from which to, you know, pop out orbital uh AI satellites.

I d have you shifted your attention away from Mars or are you as f interested in colonizing Mars as you ever were?

your life been about making that happen?

I know.

I read that.

And we can you know, people can quibble about how quickly it happens, but I think based on your track record, we should assume it will happen at some point.

I'm just sort of struck that when I when I I am as as blown away by this world as you are and I'm I watch it from a from a much more naive level, but I for me the whole evolution of AI and the capabilities of these models is in and of itself so mind blowing.

Is it?

Yeah, the singularity.

Approaching.

We've talked about concentration of control in your companies.
