So what are you doing with your other $140 billion?

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

I think I just go to one of them with my 140 billion of gold. I want a pile of cash, right? Turkey club. I'm going to get myself a nice turkey club. I'll probably buy Apple and just get that iPhone annuity. First thing I'm going to do, I'm going to hire you as my investment manager because that is a brilliant idea.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

There's no more Musk, no more Cook, no more Gates. I'm owning Tesla, Apple and Microsoft. I want to make more money off of my money. I don't want to just sitting in a bank. But you forget, I'm going to get free iPhones every year now. Free Apple, free AirPods.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

So I am going to invest in technology. But again, different than Vitaly. I'm going to invest in Transformer technology. I'm thinking about a tank that can also fly. It'd be a motorcycle that converts into a jet ski. I don't care about the profit.
