"DeepSeek did not spend six million dollars. This has been something that the media have done a beyond sloppy job of because it gets clicks... it's like saying the finishes of MEP was six million dollars and then saying that the building cost six million dollars."

"I'd be lying if I told you that I am particularly excited about being public. I see it creates a lot of perverse incentives... the short-term nature of quarterly thinking."
