“I mean, especially, like, I mean, there's a lot to like. I would say net net, I like the post Elon Twitter more than the pre Elon Twitter because it's just bolder. And I guess I really admire bold product execution where you're not just kind of stuck to like. Current laurels, and they made so many changes. But I do feel like. I get injected into my feed very sensational content all the time. And I mean, it works on me. I'm like, you know, like, I can't help but to click on it and engage with it. I think it does result in.

They were like, oh, like, you know, latest on this week's news, this tweet about Airtable. What do we think about this? And it almost, I think, became like. Way to talk about a broader theme of what happens to this last generation of highly valued companies, maybe Deca Corn companies.
