ve now because it's the political season. And it's a real thing, by the way. I don't know if you all know that's a real thing, that the trolls are literally paid. Do you all know that's real? Because it might sound like it's some weird conspiracy theory I'm giving you, but that's all demonstrated. That's what we know. Who did it the last time? We know who was in charge. You know, it's a well-known, understood process.

Well, did you know that Imperial College in London figured out how to genetically engineer bacteria to make vegan leather? So it's not real leather, but it's bacteria. And I guess the bacteria can also change its color so you can make yourself a black wallet or a brown wallet, I guess. And that'll save a whole bunch of animals and then we won't have to use artificial colors. Anyway, I don't know if you want a wallet made out of bacteria. You might have one pretty soon.

Elon Musk, I don't know if this video was, it might have been a while ago. I just saw a video of him walking with some celebrity, I can't remember, and he was explaining that Tesla can't build 100 gigafactories, but if other big companies were building them, you'd only need 100 gigafactories to power the entire world. Now the gigafactories are the big battery storage facilities and they would have to be enormous. We're talking about bigger than the Empire State Building sort of thing, enormous facilities. But if you built 100 of them, you would essentially have sustainable energy forever, presuming that you set up a commensurate amount of solar panels to charge the batteries.

Do you believe that? I'm just reading a comment. Sounds like BS. I don't know. Here's the thing. If you don't believe it, you're betting against Elon Musk's ability to engineer and do math. Are you comfortable doing that? I'm not. I'm not comfortable saying that he got the math wrong. I feel like he spends some time, you maybe it's exactly what he does and you don't do for a living. He figures that stuff out. So I'm going to say it's probably more likely true than not. But I would add that we don't know what the environmental situation is and what happens with the old batteries and the old solar panels. And that's an issue. Might be solvable, but it's certainly an issue.

Anyway, I like to put that out there as some optimism. That if you added nuclear power to that, well, you wouldn't need, if you had nuclear power, you don't need the batteries. So anyway, everything's moving in the right direction and we could solve climate change in probably five years if all the big companies said we'll chip in, we'll build a gigafactory.

Well, in other updates, we'll get to the politics in a minute. The Prince of Fakes, you know him on the X account, he's inventing a sex toy that can also talk dirty to you using AI. So he's using advanced tools to develop this sex toy, and presumably you'll be able to send it for manufacturing. And he's been testing it down on X so you can see the whole process from beginning to end. It's kind of fascinating to see what one person can do. So we currently have a situation where one person with one computer can build a whole commercial product. Now I guess we could always do that. We've been able to do that for a while. You'd have to send it down to have a prototype made and that sort of thing. But you could basically be your own company, just one person. And he's modeling that, one person building an industry. It's just fun to watch even if you don't care about the product. It's just fun to watch somebody who has lots of skills put them together and see if they can do a thing.

Well, here's one thing I can tell you about my audience. I'm seeing some funny memes go by in the Loca
