By the way, in appreciation for what you've done to get OpenAI to where it is today, I would like to give you each a Founder Series Model 3. These are the earliest cars produced and are not available to the public. If there are a few others at OpenAI who you think also really deserve one (maybe Wojciech?), I am happy to do the same for them. Hope you like it! Elon
