let's be polite to one another also, if possible. Right. We don't we're not gonna be needlessly needlessly rude to one another. And that's kinda how I feel he acts right now. And that's not cool. Two other two other parts of this new story. One, it's going around that this guy's payout was a hundred million dollars, which makes no sense. Anyone who's in business is like, well, that number makes no sense. There's no way he's getting paid nine million dollars a year of salary. There's no way that they bought his agency a hundred million dollars. That's not how much you would aqua hire an agency for. It's probably more like ten. But it'll and I went and I found it. It just started with some random guy who goes?

Oh, man, Elon backtracking now because he realized he that Halley has a hundred million dollar payout. And, like, five tweets in, somebody's like, where'd you read the hundred million? I never saw that. He goes, I'm just estimating, like, you know, aqua aqua hours are a million dollars ahead. They had a hundred employees. So, you know, a hundred million dollars. And now that's just like in a bunch of places. It's like that's how that that's how bad, like, information spread. How fake news starts. Second thing is Elon owned himself when he goes, the end of his day, he goes,

I mean, I don't know. Either this guy's a marketing genius. He's just trying to get PR. Like, trying to, like, It's the thing where Amazon was like, we use doors as desks to save money, which is a bullshit. That's either one of those just like stories that sounds like man. He's really turning over every rock to save money for this this bleeding company. By the way, I tried doing that. An IKEA desk is significantly cheaper than a door from Home Depot. Exactly.

And, and it basically goes all the way up. They studied it all the way up to five hundred thousand dollars and they said after that, we we really didn't study it much. But up to five hundred thousand dollars, people do get happier. But that said, the researchers found that the overall emotional effect of more money on a person is small compared to other circumstances.
