Hey, good to see you. Yeah, good to see you too. We have a lot to discuss today, so let's get on to our first topic. I enjoyed your recent conversation with Alex Gibney about his new documentary on Elon Musk that comes out Friday, October nineteenth, nationwide. Think it comes on uh HBO at uh first quarter next year, I think that's right.
And I haven't had a chance to see the film yet, but suppose we had known twenty years ago exactly who Elon was. An immense talent, a force of nature, but also A bully who doesn't do well with regulation. Um you can throw in a liar, et cetera, but he just doesn't he doesn't function. By the rules of society.
