QuestionerMy name is Max Joe and from Toronto, Canada. I have a question for Charlie regarding statement you made in the past. You once mentioned that you would prefer to hire someone with IQ of 130 who believes is 120 over someone with IQ of 150 who thinks it's 170. Understand that you are referring to Elon Musk. Given the recent success of his very much, of his ventures such as Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink. I'm curious to be if you still hold a view that Elon Musk overestimate himself. Thank you so much.
CharlieWell, yes, I think Elon Musk overestimates himself, but he is very talented, so he's overestimating somebody who doesn't need to overestimate to be very talented. There's a Bill Maher program about a week old, maybe two weeks old, but he interviews Elon, and Elon does a terrific job, toe-to-to-to with Bill Maher, who, it's worth watching. And Elon is a brilliant and brilliant guy, and I would say that, you know, he might score over a 170, but he, you know, he might score over a hundred and seventy. You know, it's, he dreams about things, and he, his dreams have got a foundation. He would not have achieved what he has in life if he hadn't tried for unreasonably extreme objectives. He likes taking on the impossible job and doing it. We're different. Warren and I are looking for the easy job that we can identify.
WarrenYeah. Yeah. do it playing Tic-Tac dough, we'll do it.
CharlieYou know? We have a whole different way of going in life. It's a whole way. Yeah. But we don't want to compete with Elon in a lot of things. I mean, you know. We don't want that much failure.
WarrenYeah. Yeah. And it takes over your life in a way that it just doesn't fit us.
CharlieBut, you know, there are going to be, well, there have been important things done by Elon already. And it requires fanaticism isn't the word.
WarrenYeah, it is the word.
CharlieOkay. Well, it isn't quite the word. But it's a dedication to solving the impossible and every now and then it'll do it. But it would be torturous to Mayor Charlie. And I like the way I'm living. I'm living and I wouldn't enjoy being in his, but he wouldn't enjoy being in my shoes either.
