And obviously you can see this is, uh, Palantir CEO talking about, you know, I don't like short sellers, and put a lot of price action on this predicting an AI bubble popping. And a little bit later announces that he's gonna close his fund by year end. Look, clarified it wasn't $912 million he spent, he spent $9.2 million on this short position.
