t allows all the oil companies enough incentive to do stuff. But how do you explain that there seems to be a worldwide glut or increase in the supply of oil and it's not much changing the price? What does that mean? It's not because the demand is suddenly matching the supply. There's just more oil than there used to be. Shouldn't the price go down? Is this telling us that there is some kind of mo…

So it's just mind-boggling how many things he can imagine in the future so that when he's building something now he doesn't preclude them.
So one of the things he did not preclude was that his satellites could act as a distributed data center with its own brains and ability to communicate with each other at laser speeds. So I don't know if he'll do that and turn it on, but he does say they can do it. He says they'll have ultra fast laser links powered by solar energy. And he said SpaceX will be doing this. So let me update that. He wasn't just talking about it speculatively. He said they will be doing it. How impressive is that? That's just crazy.
And it just gets better too. If this had been a four-hour interview instead of a three-hour conversation, God knows what would have come up. But Joe, of course, the master of asking good questions that we'd like to hear the answers to, asked him about the, I guess he's working on the new sports car of some kind, and we don't know much about it, but apparently it's going to be really special.
I'd wondered about that because I thought the news had said that Elon was going to bring back the Roadster. Is that what it's called? The Roadster. But basically that they were going to build more of a cool sporty Tesla. More sporty than what they have. But nobody knew the details. We still don't know the details, but it's possible based on what Elon said, it might be a flying car. It might be a flying car. But you know what it might also be? It might also be a submersible. It might be both.
But what he says is, look, I think it has, this is Elon, look, I think it has a shot of being the most memorable product unveil ever. He goes, "Let's just put it this way. If you took all the James Bond cars and combined them, it's crazier than that." Okay, the James Bond cars, didn't they fly and also act as submarines? Is that whe

re people are getting the idea it might be both or one of those things? Now, I'm not sure I care one way or the other. I probably won't be buying a submersible car from anybody, but I just love the fact that he doesn't have a marketing or advertising budget. Elon doesn't, but boy does he do good marketing. Oh my god, the quality of his marketing game is so beyond really anything we've ever seen.…
