“They're all a little bit different, but so for instance, uh, no surprise. We've talked about this before. The electric car company that shall not be named uniquely stands out for being extraordinarily unattractive.”
“Um, I've never seen a short at such scale, a trillion five.”
“And then with its cousin, SpaceX, which we spoke about last time as well. SpaceX is not Mach 7, but those are just unbelievable companies. They're just atrocious.”
