I do think we've got a fundamental issue with corporate governance in publicly traded companies where you've got about
00:00:04
half of the stock market is controlled by passive index funds and most of them outsource their decision to advisory
00:00:11
firms particularly Glass Lewis and ISS. I call them corporate ISIS. They're just
00:00:16
terrorists. Glass Lewis and ISS controlled the vote of half the stock market. They own no stock in any of
00:00:22
these companies. Now, if you're a political activist, you know what a great place would be to go work? ISS and
00:00:27
Glass Lewis. And they do. you know where political activists go. They go where the power is. I think that this there's
00:00:31
a fundamental breakdown of producer responsibility here. You know, the Tesla thing is it's called sort of
00:00:36
compensation, but really it's not about compensation. I'm going to go out and buy, you know, a yacht with it or
00:00:40
something. It's just that if I'm going to build up Optimus and have all these robots out there, I need to make sure we
00:00:45
do not have a terminated scenario, then I maximize the safety of the robots. I feel like I I need to have something
00:00:50
like a 25% vote, which is enough of a vote to have a strong influence, but not so much of a vote that I can't be fired
00:00:57
if I go insane. But my concern would be creating this army of robots and then being fired for political reasons
00:01:03
because of ISS and Glass Lewis fire me effectively even though I've done everything right.
00:01:08
If you don't get that vote, if it doesn't go your way, it looks like it's going to. Would you leave? I mean, is
00:01:12
that even in the cards? I heard the board was very concerned about that. Let's just say I'm not going to build a
00:01:16
robot arm on me if I can be easily kicked out by activist investors.
