Live. We're not for the Bitcoin Center. Matt, you don't know where we are. We're from climate pledge Arena. Oh, in the 74 acre, entertainment, complex known as Seattle Center the site of the 1962, World's Fair. In Seattle, Washington. That's where we are climate. That's why I didn't recognize it. It's colder. It's it's Championship Monday here at business pants. Join us always by. The stress in the mattress. I'm Jim Nance's soup tastier and today's bag full of discarded, muffin, tops, called April, 4th 2022. A day of true Champions. The winner of our match and his tournament and the Winner's. Potentially of Elon musk's new ownership stake in Twitter. This is a day of Winter's. That's right. It's so many winners today. I better be one of them. I'm going to be really pissed if I didn't win this Championship where the refs flub last week. We're the, we are the true winners Elon Musk buying and a huge ownership to stake in Twitter. Means that business pants. The organization are the winners really where the winner so much to talk about media win before we get to that, let me quickly. Let's wrap up our March down, this tournament. We played our championship game, it just it just finished this morning. The winner of the March 10th. Tournament 2022 in a blowout. No surprises here. The winner is Amazon. Wow, which is kind of fitting. I mean, look just this weekend. This huge news broke that the oh, you an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island is unionizing. I think this is really perfect. I think this proves our game is absolute science. Right. I think it's an incredible moment here in stakeholder capitalism. I really do science word, none of our hypotheses turned out correctly. No, it's no, I think you're wrong actually, but here we go, Amazon. Destroys Sales Force, 3 to nothing. Let's go category by category go quickly here and not. No, surprise and sucks. Amazon takes that 17. Nothing and greenwashing a little bit of current controversy sales force had its only press release thrown out. Because it was actually about it was called Salesforce complete acquisition of fennecs. And the rest determined, that's just a routine m&a. That's the kind of thing you're supposed to disclose. Anyway, not a god. This is a makeup call a little bit from last from last week's, bad calls. So Amazon took on this Juicy Green watching headline, bringing overlooked African ingredients to American tables. Absolutely true. Emma, you're right. This is an actual press release. I believe you, I really do, and again, a little bit of controversy, because they also had one called statement from Amazon, on Staten Island, union vote. And, is that a green wash? I don't know, it doesn't matter. They've already won the category with that African. Ingredients one, but I don't know. Nothing beats the African ingredients to American tables and beats that to Mark the Brilliance of the March 10 is tournament. Let me just tell you what, the statement from Amazon is on the Staten Island. Union vote proving that they really are the champions of the merchant is tournament, set of honoring the workers. Here's what they said. We're disappointed. With the outcome of the election Staten Island because we believe having a direct relationship companies. Best for our employees, blah blah blah. Here, we're evaluating our options including filing objections based on the inappropriate and undue influence by the National Labor Relations Board and others. We witnessed in this election. So there are already crying file. They're not honoring workers. They're already playing the role of the piss ant. So there you go. They're the true winners, March Madness, and to end the tournament. I will also say that today Salesforce, their price is up and much way more than Amazon. So this, so, it's a full sweep, full sweep. There you go. That's the turn. Do we have? Someone who's getting some free flag? That's the only thing that matters and despite the fact that he is wearing free float, media, swag, you, you're not gonna be getting another. Item of clothing for Fremont. I actually did the math here. So this isn't just like me, just willingness This is already do know, I did the math, Damien doing math is not. I have it on my, on my notebook here to prove it. The final score is actually 30 to 24 years. But you got taken down by someone named. Oh Shea and the real. The only real reason you actually overall I think you pick more winners was at the beginning of the tournament. But oh sure all doing well, at the beginning of the turn, know I was doing well, but at the but at the end O'Shea had three or four in the final four and those wings in the late rounds based on your scoring system at that you created in the past. Gave O'Shea more points in the end. Except no, there's no except the winner if you if the refs had gotten the call on Friday. Correct. What's the final score? This guy gets no. Okay. All right. Oh Shay, yeah. We will reach out to you, O'Shea and find out exactly how big of business pants. You want to wear. Oh, we'll send you some like, and guess what? When I say gets his swag, it's gonna be on the Etsy store. And you can buy the swag too. Maybe in your own sizes. Maybe extra extra extra, extra business. He for rep up. This match started tournament. I want to reiterate that Matt is a liar and is wrong. The reps did not. Did not in any way influence the outcome of that Apple sells Force match because even if Apple had taken the sucks category Salesforce in a, in the tiebreaker would have won that game, based on the fact that its share price sucked more than Apple. So forget it. You just forget it. Matt, forget it. Now I forget, sorry, I disagree. I'm gonna issue with statement about undue influence of Damien. Raul annoying that I don't have control of my media board right now because he would be done. There's a lot of going on. All right, I'm gonna pass over the mic. Matt, do you want me to set up? What happened to Twitter? Do you want to just roll with it? I'll just go right into it. In case you thought and in case you thought it was ever safe to go on baby. Leave Prague Agarwal. You CEO of Twitter, baby. You just found out. No, it's not safe. You can never rest. Here is the headline from the morning. Musk takes 9% stake in Twitter to become top shareholder. That's right. Elon Musk. It is now the largest shareholder in Twitter Pop Quiz. What does a billionaire do when they're annoyed that the megaphone they have isn't loud enough? You buy the megaphone company, that's what you do. Absolutely. If 33 million followers isn't enough for you, which actually quick side note, the word followers is that kind of derogatory. We're like followers, like everyone's just like, well hanging on following them around like it's called life the way. It's didn't Jesus have followers what were those 12 people called? Yeah. It's the worst. It's really the worst. I don't like it, wait. But if you really realize that 33 million way back, I just say that. Do you really realize that Jesus had 12 and Elon Musk is 33 million? Through the night. I know we can't we're getting to dangerous territory through winter and everywhere. Keep going. Keep, I'm just saying elon's number 49 on the follower list. He's not even that. He's like, well below like Rihanna and Justin Bieber. Barack Obama is 130 million. He's number one, something like that. Yeah, but if 33 million followers, acolytes isn't enough for you. Elon Musk is spending about three billion or about 50% of world hunger of out of his 260 billion Fortune to buy in the 9% stake in a company that was two pro Africa for Silver Lake in Scott Galloway's. It's fine. No, every time. Yeah, I was gonna say it's funny interrupt. Yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna keep interrupting you. I'm sure it's funny, you mentioned Africa because remember the fear was that when Jack Dorsey disappeared to Africa, you know, some bad stuff might happen. It Prague disappeared to Babyland. How do we know his baby's room? Isn't painted with Africa motifs. Maybe there's like some zebra's on the wall. It's the same thing. What? It's the same what Africa? Yeah, on paternity leave. Where was he about paternity leave? He should have been. No I'm just wasn't sorry. Um also every time a billionaire buys something from now on I think the headline should actually be discussed as a ratio of world hunger. So like for instance like billionaire spends 2% of world hunger Solution on super yacht, I feel like that's actually more accurate than like you spent three billion dollars? Yeah, I like it relative to the six billion dollars. It would take to cure world hunger for a year. All right. Well Elon just took twice the stake. That activists silver look like took two years ago at Twitter. Silver Lake ended up taking a couple of board seats for a year and then whittled it down to just one board seat now, but they had like three or four board seats. So, the real question here is, and they actually arguably quietly, ousted Jack, Dorsey, like two years later Dorsey stepped down to see, oh, no one describes directly to Silver Lake, but, you know, I'm pretty sure we can read the tea leaves and say you know that die was cast when they bought their stake, I suppose. Now I said he wanted to get the hell out of there anyway. But yeah, go ahead. Well I mean like he probably would have stayed if not for that activists stake. Even if they didn't force him out them showing up was probably enough for him to be like, what, wait, why the fuck am I doing this? This is like obnoxious to me. But now elon's got twice the steak. And I think we're gonna, we're in for, like a Game of Thrones just at a higher level. I'm calling it. What we're going to do today is we're gonna play the game of twits, okay? I'm gonna do it. The game of twits in which we answer the burning question. Who on Twitter's board kisses? Elon's ass. First, that's the question. Everybody wants to know. Okay, are you ready to play? You two were played. Yeah, first because no one else is here or yeah, first. Okay, fastest first and fastest. Okay. All right. We're gonna do this three ways. First, God, I'm going to read off the names only of the board members with no other information and you are going to guess who sounds like they would kiss. Elon's ring, fastest just by their name. Next. I'm going to give you some bio information about the board members, like who's a secret liver Tech in and you are going to then say no that person seems most likely. And then I'm going to answer the question for you with stats using influence and how they're connected with Elon and who's likely to throw him. Some love first. So you ready to play? I'm ready, I've been ready. Come on. All right, round one. Here are the names and we're excluding both parag Agarwal who is the current CEO and Jack Dorsey, the founder and Xcel excluding why don't you everybody else? Okay, I don't get that part of it. Yeah, that's what we're doing. That's happening. Number one. Brett Taylor, what, what are we supposed to be doing? You're just listening. Now, David sounds like they would kiss elon's ass first. Okay. Brett Taylor. Mimi Alma, something like that. Egon Durban. Martha Lane Fox. Omid kordestani. Dr. Faith FEI Li Patrick pichette, David rosenblatt and Robert Zola seems obvious. This is like the obvious game, right? Well, then be obvious. Tell me what was obviously gonna be the obvious. The, the science fiction character Egon Durban, wouldn't that be the one who would? All right? No, no. I totally disagree, you're wrong. Go ahead and okay, but you're going with Egon Durban. I mean, it's going with Durbin. What are we doing here? This is no play. I'm Goin Martha Lane Fox for the reason of the triple name. I'm thinking Marjorie Taylor Greene. Martha Lane, Fox know, that's sort of where my hole. So Barack every assassin, every assassin. So true. All right, so the just by only Damien's guessing he got Durbin is going to lick the souls of Elon musk's feet. And Emma is guessing, Martha Lane. Fox will give him a big Twitty embrace. And now I'm going to give you some bios. Ready for round two. Yep. What was it too? I'm a riveted. Yeah, red Taylor. He's been directed since 2016. He's the co-ceo of Salesforce, right? Also was the CEO of quips CTO of Facebook, CEO of friend, feed everybody's, favorite social, media Network, He was the creator of Google Maps and yes, he is X libertarian University. That is Stanford. Yeah, I'd create a table Maps mean. Like he made Google Maps. Like interesting program because he doesn't just take credit for Google Maps. Well, he met oh maybe. Yeah, you didn't actually get out his legal pad in like Coda I'm sure. Listen. And they did they do quote a legal pad, you know. They don't actually do it into computer. Yeah, I wasn't aware that's the Salesforce. Have a standard connection that I'm not aware of is Mark many off also attached to Stanford. I don't even really know this us. I don't think so forth. Does have? I believe, a PayPal Mafia connection. All right, well, I just because I'm playing along a little bit on the side here. Here, my keywords for Brett, Taylor, Cosi CEO, Facebook, Google Stanford, those are my keywords. Those keywords will pop up multiple times. Okay? Here's number two, Mimi Alamo. Yeah. She's a new director. Senior vice president, at MasterCard. She was an MD at black rhino Group, which is owned by Blackstone. Thank you. But before you get angsty, she's an Obama appointee for Africa stuff. Basically like she, she was also a George W bush pick for African Development Bank. The only thing to take away from her is Africa. Know she was here, my keywords Dorsey Africa, that's true. You're my keywords Blackstone Obama Bush. But you're right Africa. I mean that's something Africa. You missed the whole Blackstone Obama Bush. She's not in there for those things. She's in there for Africa. All right, number three is Egon Durban. This is Damien's. Name choice for Twitter's suck at elon's Emma. When you hear Durban is, I think you're gonna agree that they're gonna be like, best friends. On Durban directors since 2020. Call activist stake in Twitter two years ago, capitals on the boards like 30 things, the most interesting one to me was Unity Technologies which is the metaverse play. They're one of the major metaverse companies and he's ex Board of Skype interest that anyone cares about Skype anymore on the business route. and he was, And he was a Georgetown. Grad. Elon is an odd isn't on the Business Roundtable. I think Emma's correct here. Elon would spit at the business CEOs getting together and talking about policy elon's, like fuck that. I got 33 million followers. I just say it out loud and it becomes policy Damien. I think Damien's. Well, now here's where the good news here is that there's no wind, there's no actual winner of this game because How do you know there's a real? There is a win. There will be at the end. Okay, and now is where am I Collapse into a heap? Because Martha Layne was direct directors. Since 2016, she's a founder of Lucky voice group. Co-founder of last minute.com where you can get like last minute hotel. Reservations. but, House of Lords, she's a UK person, Oxford, she has history degrees. No way someone with Oxford history degrees is I still feel okay about it. Actually, I think I think it's I think if you really look at her bio closely I don't I don't know if you're gonna find it. I just can't see them in the same room being comfortable with each other last minute, I don't know, do you really think? Elon musk's. I mean, let's be real. Do you think he has women in his like Inner Circle of honestly? Emma, he's greatly stop it. Do you really think in his business, Inner Circle? He confides in women he's like a the mic pain to the business world. He won't be. He can't be alone. It doesn't matter if he hates women or like won't have women in his inner system. No matter about like the Kathy Woods of the world, like they are unafraid to that's true. She's a, you know, Yeah, I think next up is Omid kordestani. Yeah. Directors is 2015, former executive chair of Twitter. He's ex-google And X Netflix on Netscape Once Upon a Time, Netscape was a thing. All right, you just, you're going to remember, Netscape? Yeah, but Netscape was a thing, he he's also done 3DO and HP on the board electrical engineer from San Jose State and libertarian. You, you don't think that they sit around and they're they're the only two electrical engineers on that board. And they talked to others, he's an engineer, right? Like he's the next engineer. So you don't think the two of them are like these other fucking idiots jerk off. Can't build anything. We're the ones who build stuff. Well, he was the head of Business Development everywhere, her August, an engineer. Yeah, but I'm excluding. Okay, well I gotta tell you he's got to do whatever. Musk says emit is a good case here. I hear my keywords Google Google Stanford. I think I mean that's a and he's a former executive chair. at Twitter and I'm guessing maybe still a little pissed off that he's not the current Still the current executive chair, right? He's been, he's been displaced by co-ceo of Salesforce Brett Taylor. So I almost seems like a incredible Target for BFF for Elon. I really incredible little bit of angst, right? Yeah. All right. There's my soundboard back up and running. All right, next up here. Did you hear it? No, I keep going. Um, Dr. Faye Faye Lee. Yeah. Now, you wouldn't think much about Dr. Faye. I was a new director but she is the inaugural Sequoia Capital Professor. That's right. Professorship sponsored by a Silicon Valley. And she's a professor at Stanford. She's gonna play back you. I mean this is like a bot sponsor. This is like this might be his actual sister. Co-director of the human-centered AI Institute Stanford. Yep, X Google Princeton and Caltech and she's the co-founder of AI for all God. Okay. Well the AI from 17 years old like she's like actually that's not sure. She's like our age and she's she's young for the board and highly accomplished. She was the director of every day. I love Just so, you know, and I will say that the AI for all it sounds creepy, but it's also, it's actually a non-profit dedicated to increase diverse human representations in the field of AI say. So maybe it's good. I or maybe that's just Bluster. I can't tell on that one but she says the right type of creepy for him. Yeah. If you're into AI, it's a whole year. This is the proper creep. Google Stanford, it's perfect. I mean, another perfect. Next up, is Patrick pichette director since 20 17. He's from a Canadian Venture firm. No one cares about it. He's the ex-google CFO. This is more Google. That's important. Bell Canada. McKenzie something called calm that he was a philosophy. Yeah at Oxford. And a business bachelor's at the University of Quebec. Yeah, friends. I'm gonna go with no one cares about Canadian. Well. Okay, you might be right, but specially French Canadian but the Google, of course there's Google, which is interesting and, and I snuck in there. He doesn't fit, I'm thinking I'm wondering if this Master's in philosophy, might be good for Elon in the sense that you're gonna need those types when you're discussing, how? AI will take over the world, right? Like you're gonna need a new think about that. That's like last on elon's priority list, right? But I don't know. I can see the late night, you know, like enjoying some Brandy and some gummy gummy weed and I don't know, like pondering the future of the AI overlords on Mars. I don't know. I just see this could be a kid there, they're both Nationals and black. Next could be, could be David rosenblatt is next director, since 2010, the longest running directors before left on our list. Before you get going on Roosevelt. I I there's no way there's any Google or Stanford in his bio. There's no, I'm just saying there's no not a chance. Oh no, there's no chance. He is the CEO of actually first dibs.com, which is apparently an online luxury Market because I need that nothing says luxury. Like I got dibs on that thing. Also X Google know. He was part of double click and we got bought by Google and then he spent some time at Google Asian studies at Yale. So you know, he's one of those Asian fetish people and MBA at no libertarian University, I don't believe it Stanford. And finally Bob Zola director since 2018 share of a lions Bernstein's board. Tama sex board, Harvard senior fellow Goldman. Sachs Illuminati, ex-us government's State Department trade Treasury and deep Harvard Harvard, Harvard ties all the time. He's a Harvard Harvard and you're missing the lead here. He's he actually had a Ba from Charlie munger's, most hated College. Yes guys a true outlier and they're probably just gonna probably already writing out his resignation speech right now because they don't want him around so he's the first one to go but who do we think based on the BIOS is kissing elon's ass? Well, what do you mean by? What do you mean kissing? Like so who's gonna allow okay? So here's the question that we, I was with Elon. Yeah, Elon comes in, you know, this board is gonna get disrupted, right? Like this is that you don't take a 9% stake in a company unless you want something out of it. This is what we talked about in pre-production. Yeah, exactly is what, what can become of this and what can become is the beginning of a kind of a proxy? I'll take over battle, an old-fashioned raid on Twitter, and he is gonna need numbers in the board. That's so that's where this game came from. Right, we're trying to figure out how we gonna build his friendships and and just blow up to Twitter who's his first friend. Now, you know, about these people, whose first, I have two choices. I think are are really our shoe wins for me. I think it's going to be homed. Kurdistani. Because there's still a little bit of hard feelings there. Google stand for connection. And I think Dr. Faith a lie. She's got the ai ai stand for background. I think they're gonna, I think they're going to take over the world together, Elon, and Faye. There's your Trifecta Elan Court astani Dr. Lee, that's my choice. Yeah. I'm gonna agree with Omid cortisone. But I am going to diverge from Dr. Lee for a couple of reasons one, she's a doctor. She has she's educated. She's not like the fact. That they are, but they're she's not gonna like the fact that Elon dropped out of his Stanford, PhD program. Like he doesn't actually have the qualifications the Dropout versus finished. Yeah, like this, there's that. And I also, I don't know, the fact that she is a professor, even if she is a bot, professor, she still a professor and that is so pretty far off from Elon land and she's also advocating for diversity and AI. I'm just not convinced despite the fact that they seem to be aligned on the surface. I think that they would argue about certain aspects of it. I'm not convinced they would fight. So I am also still gonna stick with my girl, Martha. Fox. Stop. First of all, she's a woman. She's a woman. Second of all, you know, yeah, I don't matter. He respects her, it's all about him. Like, getting people on his side and she'll she might line up. There's there's something you both overlooked. Yeah, price, Damien you overlook go. This is really Square. In your wheelhouse is this the most co-ceo heavy board you've ever used the other coast CEO. Brett Taylor is cozy of Salesforce and Egon Durban is coaster CEO of Silver Lake. Well, that's two, that helps us too. I think musk can manipulate those waffle types better. I think, I mean, this is basically a board full of people who need another CEO, like a stuffy in bed when they go to sleep. This is like, really cozy. Oh, can you do the math for me actually, Matt? Like, I'll be honest with you, I think it's gonna be a full libertarian. Okay, so here's my, here's my horrible creepy question, I had before the show was how long before Elon reinstates. Trump, the Twitter because, you know, musk, he's on top of his libertarian. Podium his milk crate there. So do the math for me how many of these people are Stanford because I this is what I actually think I think it's going to be a Stanford sweep. That's going to be a Libertarian, like power, whatever, not Trio, what he called a power. How many are there? There's there are, I believe there's four of them that are Stanford. Okay, that's it. Okay. Well, those will be his, those will be his peeps. Does your those are, they're gonna be starting peeps. It might actually just be three. It depends on if you count someone who Is didn't learn at Stanford, but is that Stanford, right? It's four, if you include the doc and Prague agrawal currency rocks, Yeah, stand for educated X libertarian you, but the answer is not at Stanford. The answer is in round three by the numbers. So, here are our numbers. Yeah. Jack. Dorsey Remains the most influential person on this board. Still we estimated that he had 38% of the board influence. Definitely. If you want to board influences, we're using actual like stats about these people to tell you how influential each board member is we did for every fourth entire world. This is true. We have it for all the boards you want to talk to us about it. You can re is doing it right now and speak and I wasn't talking, I can tell you this is not not just because I helped build it with you, but I, I can tell you that I that I absolutely Jack. Dorsey has the most influence on this board. I'm just saying like anecdotally when you look at this list, it doesn't surprise me that you say that number is 38% because without a doubt, I don't, I don't, I'm not saying he's gonna stay on the board, but but he is God have the most influence here. As yeah, as X. CEO as founder as Jack dorsal Legends star. We ran. We ran this, these processes we have clients actually used this. We ran by some stewardship teams, like major places and they agreed in their conversations like anecdotally. They talked to these boards and they said, yeah, that's true. That person is the most, you know. So our numbers are not lies. No, we don't lie. That's the takeaway. Well, I think Emily when she called me a liar earlier, right? I'm confusing a little bit drunk, but I'm sober. Now, I think I'm alive when she says that Martha Lane Fox with a degree in modern history at Oxford is going to be Elon Musk best friend. I think Emma's a big fat liar. I'm just in fact Martha Lane Fox is the least influential on all according to our next question was not about influence. It was about Elon support. Yes stick to that is correct. Egon Durban is the second most influential on the board at 12% of the board's influence and that means if Egon and Elon a line know I like that on Egon Would be the most ridiculous name match ever know. But that would be a power that would be serious power, couple that's a power. Um, second of all, um, they're actually the influence. It might be a battle. It's not like a mighty happy Love Fest you watching. Yeah, so battle might be right. That Martha Lane Fox may be there saying, like, well, I gotta suck up because otherwise, like, I got nothing to do with like, anyway, like, in the perelman, right? Like the answer, It all comes together for Omid kordestani. Yeah. He has some influence but not too much 4% of the boards influence by our estimation. He is connected to musk already. In just two phone calls, two different ways. Cortisone is on the board of Vodafone with Renee James who sits on oracle's board with Larry Ellison. Who's on Tesla's board? I'm on the board and courtesy. Is on the board of Vodafone with Crispin Davis. Who's on glaxo Smith. Klein's board with James Murdoch. Who's on Tesla's board. I'm feeling sort of Donnie. Makes two phone calls, he gets directly to musk without any problem. Also, Elon, and emit have this OG connection and Silicon Valley. Like, remember when the internet sucks because Elon, was that PayPal, with teal at the beginning and emits, at Netscape, for a while or how, hey, you know, Marc Andreessen Elon was that PayPal and eBay. When Andrew recent was on the board Omid was at Google and like, there's a connection there. So, all meds got it all together emit is going to be perfectly aligned and you throw in a dash of, I'm angry, I'm not sharing anymore, and you've got yourself one, very welcoming Omid kordestani. Who's the big suck up for Elon Musk? So watch that prediction here. Free flow media is Omid kordestani Embraces the incoming musk regime. Totally, and he and coming out of this with more power than you thought. I don't that's the prediction honestly, like I wouldn't even be surprised if Prague our wall is not aligned with this group. I wouldn't be surprised in two years in time. It is not the CEO of Twitter because you know, this might come to that it might come where Elon is like the Puppet Master here, who knows? I don't know that Prague signed up for this this is gotta be the worst parental leave in the history of the Fortune 500. I mean you never really the worst. I mean I its Got babies throwing up on you and then the, you know, your your ownership tables throwing up on you. Right. I mean, I can't think of a worse person to step in it's just got to be frightening. A last but not least. There is a long shot here and it's also Damien's long shot. Which is Dr. Faith. Lee of course and here's why Rolf Bothell, is the an MD at Sequoia Capital who bought her professorship, guess what, both those part of the PayPal Mafia with Elon. They know each other all. So the person who bought the professorship all so is friends with the guy who's buying the company, people, it all came together. No offense that much. It all came together for gaming year, but you're really looking at something. I mean, this is important sort of in the pre-history of her colonization of Mars, because Twitter will become is now the defective social media Network meet of Mars. I mean, this is all, don't forget the long-term play here, right? I mean, Elon is not taking over this Enterprise for no reason at all, right. I mean, there's there's things churning and you need a doctor Faith, a lead to help you get there. You just you need her brilliance. I might I agree with you remember that she's not gonna gravitate to him immediately but soon they're gonna realize how much power they have together. Elon needs her absolutely, as you care. But while she's gonna care because she because if she's on the Twitter board I'm guessing she likes her little. She likes her power oatmeal as much as anybody else but I don't know. This is just my prediction. Yeah. All right. This is all why to wrap up the show? Because I don't do it. We need to go another 40 minutes on this. This is why actually, when you read that Elon Musk takes out a steak, it's not that he took out a steak. This is the game of twits people, you don't just buy a bit of a company and then like you own the bit of the company, you actually have to massage the people on the board and in management to do the thing that you want them to do. You either massage or you believe them and knowing half the people on the board, really helps to get your shit done. So this is why don't read the headline and think oh he's buying the social media company because he said he was interested in one and he wants unfettered conversation with, you know, know any sort of censorship from the evil Government powers. Your the liberal whatever know this is about people. He bought a bunch of people and they're gonna suck his ass. That's how it works. You know, that's all we got, wait for you before you wrap up. It is interesting to add here. This we don't come across this very often on this show, is that, you know, he first of all disclosure on these types of silver on these types of Are purchases or not immediate. He's actually own these shares since the middle of March, and that whole tie right here on Twitter about whether Twitter was adhering to the, you know, the principles of free speech and what should we do about Twitter? It's just after he bought a 10% stake on them, right? So I mean, this guy is truly a creepy 9 year old troll. Like he's always up to nefarious things like he's, he's the perfect guy to colonize Mars, in that sense in the in like, making a movie about, you know, creepy villainous billionaires taking over planets. He really is the he's perfect. He's perfect anyway. I'll leave it. The perfect supervillain. Perfect. And if only he had alopecia, he'd be like the perfect perfect. Super super villain. But unfortunately, well, you did. Didn't you just send us an article that he maybe he does the hair transplant. Looks like she wants to walk on. That was business pants. I am alerting, that was Damian, braless and Matt mascardi per usual. I'm gonna wrap this up now because I'm bored and don't want to listen to Matt's BS anymore. He will be back tomorrow. Goodbye.
