Does it go out at $1.8 trillion? I wouldn't be surprised if the bankers try and manufacture scarcity and it gets a small pop. But I think by the end of the year, it's well below a trillion dollars. There's just no, there's no way to justify this thing as a cash incinerator. And also certain components of the business feel very we-working, the fact that as they grow, they burn more cash. There's no operating leverage. Even with this anthropic deal, because that's all he can sell. It's like he's selling the chairs or something, right? Yeah. He built out infrastructure that he doesn't need because his AI is not growing the way he thought. Right. Exactly. And he's got it. He's got this colossus. And of course, he's facing lawsuits all over the place because he's going to buy more of these methane engines. And trust me that they're going to put a stop to that eventually. So how would you do it here? People are listening. What would you do here? I won tell you what to do because I have been wrong about Tesla I thought Tesla was a sell in 2017 and it gone up 8x No you were right but you were wrong about what people would do I think we have to squarely say I was wrong So what I going to do is if someone called me and no one going to call me but if Elon Musk called me and said, do you want allocation in the IPO? I would probably say, sure, and I'd sell it on the first trade. They will manufacture scarcity. Goldman and everybody will tell him, okay, this is what it looks like. Put out press releases saying you're 30 times oversubscribed. It'll get a pop and then get out because, again, an amazing business can be a shitty investment even at some valuation. And a shitty business can be an amazing investment at a certain valuation. This is an amazing business surrounded by businesses that are not scaling where he's trying to play catch up and at a valuation that makes just abso-fucking-lutely no sense. GLOMING XAI in here was a way to save his ass, his own ass, correct? So it the cheapest form of capital he could find by attaching it to an amazing business such that he could try and catch up And even the business even the amazing business on its own which is doing 16 billion in top line revenue and 8 billion in EBITDA This is starlink. Yeah. Give it 25, you know, give it 100 times EBITDA, it's worth 800 billion. 100 times EBITDA is, you know, no one trades at that. But you not only are trying to get it out at 1.7 to 2 trillion, you've attached onto it all of these businesses that look to have negative leverage. So, look. And he's using the business to help Tesla out by buying shitty cyber trucks. Well, that was the most eye-popping thing in the whole thing. I know. I agree. Was that it reminded me of, and this is the argument against when governments decide to start cosplaying business. The Irish government or the UK government said DeLorean is the future and they gave them a bunch of loans And then these pictures came out of a ton of DeLorean sitting in a warehouse in Ireland unsold So the worst product, arguably the worst tech product, either maybe than the Oculus or Siri, the worst tech product of the last decade is hands down the Cybertruck. So he went out, a bunch of them recalled, and he used money from this organization to buy back Cybertrucks. You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to say, okay, Tesla has a turd of a product and we're going to take a write down and you just take your pain. Elon brings a level of awareness, magic. People have done investing with him. He is an unbelievable visionary. But, you know, this goes to something broader, and that is this is all part of an entity that will cement where I believe we are now, and that is I finally believe we are squarely in 1999. Yeah, I would agree.
