, you know, over the course of the first part
        of the year. So, Eric, what we’ve done here is, as you know, we’ve been, this Trump Media and Technology Group was a company that was started out of necessity. President Trump didn’t need a new company, but we had a big problem in this country, and
        that President Trump and millions of other Americans were banned from every spot in the Internet, from everything from YouTube to Twitter to Facebook, et cetera. So, when we started this company, the President didn’t need a company, but everybody
        needed their voices back, and so we put together a team built on cancelable technology. I mean, we’re really a technology company at our core base, and that is because we had to do this without big tech. So, we’ve been the point of the spear,
        protecting free speech. When we finally went public last spring, a little over a year and after ago, I think you were actually at the event at Mar a Lago, as I recall. Then we went out, we told the shareholders that, look, we’re going to, we’ve
        solved the free speech problem. We’re going to expand that, make that app better, but we’re also going to start to look to acquire crown jewel assets. And as we started looking, the energy sector became more and more interesting to me. Over the
        summer, we put together, we announced that we were gonna put together a fund, an acquisition fund. We went out and raised about $2.5 billion, putting together a Bitcoin treasury. And so that, you know, was an important step in our ability to make
        this transaction go, because TAE Technologies, once again, we’re at the tip of the spear, and I’ll come back to that. But TAE Technologies has built five generations of nuclear fusion, and it’s important to understand nuclear fusion versus nuclear
        fission, which is the old traditional power. But this is really the most important invention, since the first Manhattan Project that led to atomic power. 75 years ago, they knew about nuclear fusion, but largely because of the anti-nuclear scheme,
        and that, uh, were kind of, the government, everybody went against nuclear power, for whatever reason, even though it’s an important part of the long-term solution. Nuclear fusion didn’t have the investment that it needed. But over the course of
