We know Elon Musk received 1 .7 billion in tax breaks after he donated to Greg Abbott's campaign. We know that over the summer, Greg Abbott intervened to redirect a $100 million broadband contract to Elon Musk. This was from testimony during a Senate hearing by the director of the broadband office. So there's a lot that we need to see. And as a legislator, I have a responsibility and a right to see what those emails are about. We'll see what you got. We'll watch your campaign. Thank you for your time today. We'll be back in a moment. That's it for us today.
