ANDY SERWER: Of course, a lot of companies seem to be leaving Silicon Valley. Tesla announced it's going to Texas and of course, others. What do you think about that, and would you ever leave the Bay Area?

ERIC YUAN: No, not at all. I'm a huge fan of Silicon Valley. I think Silicon Valley is one of our Innovation Center. No other place is even close to Silicon Valley in terms of a very inclusive, innovative culture. I think at the same time, more and more people, they come to Silicon Valley, right? And more and more great start-up companies will be born in Silicon Valley. Also, I'm so grateful to Silicon Valley. Over the past 24 years, you know, I live here and learn a lot from so many leaders here. And I'm just so grateful. I would like to do all I can to contribute back to Silicon Valley. And I do not think I will leave it at all, you know? And I really love Silicon Valley.
