Well, Tesla stock, seeing another wild week of headlines for the carmaker when Elon Musk renewed focus on his enterprises. We're looking under the hood of the next phase for Tesla. Doug Clinton, Intelligent Alpha founder and CEO, joins us now to discuss. Doug, it is always good to see you, my friend, on on the show. Let let's start, Doug, right there, uh, Trump Musk, this joint event today, as we were just talking about Musk now returning full-time to work. How how important is that, in your opinion, for Tesla shareholders, Doug? How excited should they be about that return?

They should be absolutely excited, Josh. And I'll just say for the record, I've been punched by my 5-year-old. They are absolutely more ferocious than they look, whether that's true or not, who knows with Elon. But investors should be very excited that he's coming back and now has this new laser focus. And the way that that we've sort of thought about this is that you look at famous people, very successful people throughout history, there tends to be this arc that they go on. You go from sort of obscurity to hero ultimately to villain. And then you kind of figure out can you become hero again. I actually think Elon's about to embark on this redemption arc, maybe the likes of which we've never seen. In some ways, I think about Steve Jobs, you know, who went from hero who created Apple, kind of lost his way a little bit. We talk about being lost in the woods. He started next, made Pixar an incredible company, then came back to Apple with an incredible redemption story. Elon's story is different, but I actually think the pattern is maybe a little bit similar, and I think it all starts with Tesla.
