S&P: I've loved your take on ESG and I also want to ask you a little bit about Tesla as we come to the close. S&P: What made me suspicious in 2019 was the first time I wrote about ESG because it had kind of invaded the corporate and invested world. So for you ESG, borders on an outright scam or sales driven, but however you would express it is not beneficial to the world that we are concentrated on ESG. Goodness is a personal choice and you should decide what's good for yourself. You don't need religion telling you don't be bad. Being good has always been the tougher choice. It has required sacrifice.
