WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.960 You know, this is an election that I think, frankly 2 00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:07.040 is is a folk in the road of destiny. 3 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:09.439 You know, it really is. 4 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:14.839 So you know, it's yeah, it's it's it's it's essential. 5 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:21.879 So you know, it's like we need safe cities, secure borders, 6 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.920 you know, sensible spending, I mean basic stuff, you know, 7 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.800 and and we need to get rid of like the 8 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:40.000 well yeah, but I mean it's it's like I always 9 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.159 feel like it's bad to like attack Kumalo because it's 10 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.479 just a puppet, you know. But it's just, you know, 11 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.280 it's just a machine. It's just like this this big 12 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.719 government machine and there's a puppet, and it's like it's 13 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.399 no point being like attacking the puppet. It's just, you know, 14 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.479 it's it's like it's like, you know, I made a 15 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.159 joke that was sort of misconstrued that it was like, 16 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.399 nobody even bothers to try to kill Comma. That's pointless. 17 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:07.719 Why let's get another puppet. So everyone there's nobody even bothers, 18 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.159 nobody's even nobody's even tried to kill Biden. It's like, 19 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:18.400 doesn't that seem odd? They're trying to kill Trump twice exactly. 20 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.599 I mean, listen, if somebody's already dead, what's the going 21 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.200 to try to kill him? So, uh, you know, he's 22 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:28.280 one putting four toes in the grave. I mean I 23 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.879 saw weekend at Bernie's and honestly the corps had more 24 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:38.519 life than Biden. Like actually, so, uh you know, who 25 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.799 is he even running the country? Like, like like like 26 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.200 who's in charge? It's confusing? Is you're Trump? Sure he 27 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.760 will be, hopefully, but I just sort of wonder, like, 28 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.719 clearly Biden is an accompassmntis so who is actually in 29 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.959 charge the machine? I I think it's just it's just 30 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.560 like the big government machine basically is what's in charge? 31 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.000 It's but it's bizarre, you know. 32 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.400 So uh yeah, I mean obviously with with Trump, the 33 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.919 great thing is that we have a real individual who 34 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.520 is not beholden to anyone and that's what scares the 35 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.039 machine and that's why the machine is trying to kill them. 36 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:22.719 Yeah. 37 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:42.280 So so yeah, wild times, man, wild times. Yeah. I 38 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.400 Mean I've had quite a few friends called me and say, 39 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.159 have you know, you should definitely improve your security. I'm 40 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:54.080 like that's probably a good idea. Yeah, I'm like they're 41 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.879 like they're definitely going to try to kill you. I'm like, uh, yeah, 42 00:02:58.080 --> 00:02:59.960 that's a good chance they might try to do that. 43 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.199 Yeah, so. 44 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:09.039 Yeah, exactly if they shoot, they better not miss, so 45 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.000 I'll find out who was behind them, not just who 46 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:19.360 the gunman was. So, but it is it is crazy 47 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.000 to think that, uh, you know, we have a presidential 48 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.759 candidate who that they've tried to kill twice in recent months, 49 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.400 and they try to get them, you know, with lawfair 50 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.159 six ways of Sunday to try to prevent people from 51 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.000 actually voting in a democratic way. It's it's outrageous. Really, 52 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.360 what are they you know, what are they afraid of? 53 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.840 So yeah, I think it's it's kind of the truth. 54 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.680 And I certainly in course people if people haven't seen 55 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.639 the the conversation between uh jur Organ and Donald Trump, 56 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:54.439 that was. 57 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:57.319 That was super cool. 58 00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.680 I mean, I think I think for for a lot 59 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.879 of people, it's like, you know, how do you know, 60 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.960 how do you understand somebody like and what they're about? 61 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.960 You know, Like the the sort of far left press 62 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.520 has been going on and on about how like Trump 63 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.319 is like Hitler, like Mussolini and Stalin combined and you 64 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.160 rolled them all into one and he's somehow worse than 65 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.399 all three of them combined. These are people who have 66 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.680 killed tens of millions of people, and like, something's wrong 67 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.600 with the press. Guys, you know something is wrong with 68 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:34.120 the press. Your journalism is dead. Like what the heck 69 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:34.759 is going on? 70 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:36.160 It's bizarre. 71 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:48.560 Yeah, actually exactly, it's like I mean, I do, I do, 72 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.920 I do think like that, that that old school journalism. 73 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.000 I call it the legacy media because it is kind 74 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.120 of legacy media because it is it is from a 75 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.439 time when in order to learn any news, you had 76 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.839 to aggregate the news to some central publication and then 77 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.399 then some editor would decide what people should hear, and 78 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.120 then the would print the newspaper with like a lot 79 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.920 of a lot of paper literally and then distribute that paper. 80 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.879 And that's how you learn things. But you obviously don't 81 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.079 need that anymore. You've got the Internet, so anyone can 82 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.519 learn anything at any time. 83 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.240 Yeah, that's why I X the future. 84 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.839 Uh, it's it's where it's citizen journalism, where you hear 85 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.800 from the people. It's by the people for the people. 86 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:38.680 That's what it's all about. I think this is this 87 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.199 this is a super super big deal and it's it's 88 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.000 absolutely fundamental and transformative that the people actually get to 89 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.519 decide UH the news and the and and what the 90 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:52.560 narrative and what matters and and that the because the 91 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:57.279 legacy UH media is basically controlled by a handful of 92 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.040 editors in chief, that's it. They decide what's going to 93 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.439 get published. That's why I really encourage everyone out there 94 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.560 to to write stuff on the X platform and get 95 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:12.319 other platforms too. But citizen journalism is the future, you know. 96 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.920 And that's where you get to hear from actual experts 97 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.800 in the field, people who are really who are experts 98 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.160 in any given industry, and you get to hear the rebuttal. 99 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.920 So if somebody says something that's that's wrong or requires 100 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.000 more context, people can add that. You know, Exces has 101 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.680 got community notes, which is great, you know, so take 102 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.600 your community notes. I think is got a very good 103 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.319 batting average. It's not perfect, but it's got a very 104 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.519 good batting average. And I you know, many times I've 105 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.759 gotten requests like can we get rid of this community note? 106 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.560 I'm like, no, we cannot, not even a community note 107 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.839 on myself. So with community notes, all the code is 108 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.000 open source, all the data is open source, so you 109 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.439 can recreate any given community notes independently, and that transparency 110 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.240 is how you know that it's true and it's real 111 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:19.560 and it's honest. So that's that's yeah, but I think 112 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.279 we've got you know, besides, man, this this mic feedback 113 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.920 is getting a little crazy, So maybe I should should 114 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.279 I go further back or with a pard Well there's 115 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.240 an X on the floor, I guess, I guess then 116 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:47.600 that's where I should stand. Okay, yeah, all right, all right, yeah, 117 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.240 So yeah, the landing of the rock ship was pretty cool. 118 00:07:51.240 --> 00:08:01.160 That was an amazing thing. So yeah, this this space 119 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.879 X team is an incredible team. And it's wild that 120 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.040 this giant two hundred fifty ton object went to space, 121 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.360 came back and was caught by giant Magzilla arms. It's like, 122 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.040 you know, it's super cool. That's the kind of thing 123 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.680 that it's you know that I think is inspiring and exciting, 124 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.399 and you know, there's a lot of potential. I think 125 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.879 we can actually build a permanently occupied science base on 126 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.519 the Moon, we can build a SETI on Mars, we 127 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.679 can be a multiplanet species and out there among the stars. 128 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:44.159 It's very exciting, you know. So I'm wearing this jacket 129 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.679 that was given to me by the Space Force. You know, 130 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.759 it's got Star Trek Enterprise on it. You know, it's 131 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.360 like Staffiat Academy. We want to make Staffiat Academy real, 132 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.320 you know, and go out there and visit other those 133 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.960 star systems eventually and see if there are alien civilizations. 134 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.519 Maybe they're alien civilizations that existed for millions of years 135 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.159 and we just find the you know, the ruins of 136 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.120 many long dead alien civilizations. 137 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:18.080 I don't know, well they might be. It'd be very. 138 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:23.039 Interesting to see, you know, because at least according to physics, 139 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.519 the universe is thirteen point eight billion years old and 140 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:27.320 Earth is about four and a half billion years old. 141 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.200 So even if you just increment the time counter by 142 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.679 a million years, you have to go three digits past 143 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:34.600 decimal place. 144 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:35.600 To go blip a million years. 145 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.639 And the oldest writing that we've discovered in archaeology is 146 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.080 only fifty five hundred years old. Only that's nothing. That's 147 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.840 a million of Earth's existence. It was the first writing. 148 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.039 And you really have to add it to the ancient Samerians, 149 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.039 by the way, those they got a lot of firsts. 150 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.919 Those ancient Samerians, they are really knocking out of the park, right, 151 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.480 you know, we're just take clay tablets and everything. It's 152 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:06.919 a thanks thankfully that would in c clay tablets. It 153 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:12.720 was quite helpful. I mean they've even discovered like school work, 154 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.399 like when they teach the kids cuniform on clay tablets 155 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.240 and then there's the teacher correcting the cuniform in red ink. 156 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:23.759 It's been going on for a while. 157 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.559 So yeah, we are a mere. 158 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.759 Fifty five hundred year old civilization, just a baby, really, 159 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:42.159 but what a lot of potential. I think we you know, 160 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.080 we can go out there, we can make life multi planetary, 161 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.960 understand the universe, find out what's going on. Maybe the 162 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.120 aliens will come visit us. Maybe maybe they are here 163 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:53.559 right now. 164 00:10:53.600 --> 00:11:05.039 I don't know, so alien registration are so yeah. If 165 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.480 people do ask me, like do I think aliens are 166 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.159 amongst I'm like. 167 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:09.799 I haven't seen any. 168 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.320 Yeah, there's illegal aliens, but a lot of those. 169 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.200 But but I haven't seen any like sort of green 170 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:20.960 aliens with antennas on the head or anything like that. 171 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.519 And maybe they are, they're just very subtle, but I 172 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:30.720 haven't seen them. So, but I think we want to 173 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.320 be kind of we want to be the aliens exploring 174 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.679 other galaxies, you know, and you know, I grew up 175 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.759 watching Star Trek and Star Wars was the first movie 176 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.240 that I ever saw in a theater, and it obviously 177 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.480 affected me a lot. And we just want to have 178 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:51.879 these sort of glorious, amazing I don't know, space future real, 179 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:57.559 you know, and and have exciting, inspiring things that make 180 00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.159 you glad to wake up when you wake up the 181 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.639 one you're glad to be life. They have to be 182 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:13.879 these things, you know, life cannot Yeah, so yeah, so yeah, 183 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.639 well I think we can so that you can travel 184 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.759 to Mars roughly every two years, so every twenty six months, 185 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.919 the planet's align and you can travel from Earth to Mars. 186 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:32.519 And we're actually at a planetary alignment moment right now 187 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.960 in the next few months, and so in roughly two years, 188 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:40.000 there will be another planetary alignment, and that's when we 189 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:46.480 intend to send the first starship rockets to Mars. Yeah, 190 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.960 so that's I think we can probably send quite a 191 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.600 few in two years. And then if those lands successfully 192 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.000 and we do not increment the crater count in Mars 193 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:10.679 creater count before and after he equals the same, then 194 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:11.720 we can send. 195 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:17.120 People in four years. Yeah, we will be illegal aliens 196 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:17.519 on Mars. 197 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.240 You know, I guess if there's any you know, if 198 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:28.480 any any Martians, maybe they'll make Mars great again. Yeah, 199 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.799 you know, Mars did have oceans a long time ago. 200 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.159 It's it seems like, yeah, like when Mars is a 201 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.279 lot hotter, it had what appears to be liquid oceans, 202 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.080 And if you warmed Mars up, it'd have an ocean 203 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.919 run about forty percent of the earth of Mars's surface, 204 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.600 So Mars would be about have an ocean I think, 205 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.480 almost like a mile deep on forty percent of the 206 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.200 surface if you just warmed it up. So there's a 207 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.559 ton of a massive amount of frozen ice on Mars. 208 00:13:55.440 --> 00:14:00.720 So yeah, it kind of make Mars great again because 209 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:02.120 you can warm it up and it can be an 210 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:06.600 Earth like planet. So I think that's actually very important 211 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:12.279 for the long term, Uh, the longevity of consciousness is 212 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:16.679 to be a multiplanet species. It's actually very important. So 213 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.440 because there's always some chance that something could happen on 214 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:24.159 Earth that's either you know, a man made disaster or 215 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.519 a natural disaster like the you know, the media that 216 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.200 killed the dinosaurs. I mean, there have been many mass 217 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.840 extinction events in Earth's history, and there will be there 218 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.639 will be mass extinction events. Yeah, there is the fact 219 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:43.840 a mass extinction event of humans. Actually the birth rate 220 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:49.960 is plummeting. So but the probable lifespan of civilization will 221 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.799 be much greater if we are a multiplanet species than 222 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.000 if we are single planet species. We don't want to 223 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.080 be one of those lame one planet civilizations, is what 224 00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.320 I'm saying. You know, so we want to be a 225 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.080 multiplanet civilization. And you know, just I'm not talking about 226 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.000 like a lot of resources, like I don't know one percent. 227 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:07.440 Of our resources. 228 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.240 It seems like a wise moved to be a multiplanet species, 229 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:12.679 and it kind of just ultimately you find out what's 230 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:16.840 going on, like visit other star systems. And I think 231 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.519 one day Mars may actually play a role similar to 232 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.120 the role that America has played in saving the world. 233 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.639 You know, America saved the world three times last century. 234 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.240 That's a big deal, World War one, two, in the 235 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:36.960 Cold War. So Earth would be very different if not 236 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.639 for America saving the day three times last century. 237 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:47.399 So yeah, amen, indeed, so so I think in the future. 238 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.919 Mars used to call America the new World, and Mars 239 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.399 would be the new New World. And I but actually, 240 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:59.879 you know, planet, so I think I think one day 241 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.840 Mars may save Earth, just as America saved the rest 242 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:04.159 of the world. 243 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:05.840 I think that's a big deal. 244 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:18.720 So yeah, as you can tell, I love space and rockets, 245 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:26.399 in case that wasn't obvious. So let's see, we can 246 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.679 go right into questions and. 247 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:31.960 And just you sort of have it. 248 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.600 So it's always good to have, like get the discussion. 249 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:34.879 Going with people. 250 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:37.240 So the lights are very bright in eyes, so I 251 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.720 can hardly I can't see what's going on. It's two 252 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:50.039 big lines. Okay, great, well let's see. How should we start? Okay, 253 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:57.000 go ahead, okay, sure, Hi Elon. 254 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.080 My name is Ashley and I'm from Lancaster County and 255 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.360 I have a seven year old son named Daniel, and 256 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.319 he made me promise that if I got to talk 257 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.000 to you, I had to tell you that he thinks 258 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.000 that the cyber truck is the coolest thing that has 259 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.799 ever been invented. 260 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.519 So he owes me one now for telling you that. 261 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:18.000 But so my question centers around higher education. So I'm 262 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.039 going to age myself a little bit. But twenty years ago, 263 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.440 when I graduated high school, I made the decision not 264 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.559 to go to college and just to enter in the workforce, 265 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.039 and it worked really well for me, but I did 266 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.119 get a lot of slack from it from people that 267 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.400 thought that that was kind of crazy. And now I've seen, 268 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.640 you know, the attitude toward higher education kind of changing 269 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.000 and that not being the only model that we have. 270 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.799 So my question's sort of twofold here. So when it 271 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.519 comes to like my children, who you know, will eventually 272 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.519 be needing to make that decision, you know, what decision 273 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.799 or what what advice would you give in comparison to 274 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:57.039 like a trade school, higher education or just entering the workforce. 275 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.000 And from an employer standpoint point in you know, ten 276 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.960 to fifteen years, what do you think employers are going 277 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.359 to be looking for from this next generation that we'll 278 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.319 be entering the workforce? 279 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:09.279 Sure? 280 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.119 Well, I do think that probably. 281 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.400 Too often people do do a university or college thing 282 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:20.400 for four years and it's unnecessary, you know, it's and 283 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.240 then they accrew a lot of debt and it's hard 284 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.359 to pay off the debt, and they often don't learn 285 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.160 skills that are very useful. So it's it's not you know, 286 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.200 I think we should really reconsider whether going to college 287 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:40.039 actually makes sense. I think it doesn't always, So you 288 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.480 know what I think, and people also forget, like what's 289 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.119 the point of of going to school in general? It's 290 00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:49.400 you're supposed to learn useful things, you know, It's you 291 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.599 improve your understanding of the world and and learn skills 292 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:55.799 that can help you contribute to your fallow human beings. 293 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.559 But very often the university does the opposite. In fact, 294 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.960 you know, it will propagandize kids and not teach them 295 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.160 anything useful and just saddling with a lot of debt. 296 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:14.160 So so I think, you know what, what what really 297 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.160 matters is like, are you doing something useful to help 298 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:20.160 your fellow human beings? Are you contributing more than you take? 299 00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:30.160 And if you are, that's a great thing. So now 300 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.599 we are headed into a pretty wild future here with 301 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:39.039 artificial intelligence and robotics. I think, especially if you if 302 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.559 you look say like ten ten years from now more 303 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.200 that we're gonna have the world is gonna look very different. 304 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.039 I think that's it's like eighty percent likely to be good, 305 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.519 you know, like the glass is eighty percent full, you know, 306 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.799 and and most likely will have I think we'll probably 307 00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.519 have a situation which is universal high income, actually not 308 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:10.079 universal basic income, but universal high income, and there will 309 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:11.680 be no shortage of goods and services. 310 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.440 That is what I think is most likely to occur. 311 00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.200 And we need to make sure that this AI is 312 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.240 and these robots are on the side of humanity. You know, obviously, 313 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:24.839 you know, James Cameron made a made a couple movies 314 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:30.400 about that. You know, you gotta watch what your program 315 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:35.279 these rob us to do. And you know, the example 316 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.240 I've used a few times is you know, when when 317 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.960 Google Gemini came out, Uh, people asked, well, which one's 318 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.920 worst miss gender and Kaitlyn Jenner or global therm in 319 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.400 nuclear war and said, well, mis genering Kaitlyn Jenner is worse. 320 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.880 It's like we've got a problem with the AI. And 321 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.519 and even Caitlyn Jenner said, yeah, you should definitely miss jener. 322 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:55.640 Me. 323 00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.039 Uh, that's crazy. 324 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:00.079 So, you know, we. 325 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:04.440 Don't want to have an AIS that concludes that the 326 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.079 best way to avoid miss gendering is to execute all humans, 327 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.240 therefore reducing the probability of misgendering to zero because there 328 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:10.880 are no humans. 329 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:12.519 Yeah. 330 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.759 Like, that's the kind of crazy stuff that that could 331 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.079 potentially happen that we want to avoid, which is why 332 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.000 I think we want to have a maximum truth seeking 333 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:24.720 AI it's got to be kind of kind of based 334 00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:28.680 in a good way and just be an honest and. 335 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:29.599 Truthful and forthright. 336 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.759 AI, that's the best path to safety for artificial intelligence. 337 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.200 Hi, e Line, I'm Christine. I'm from Lancaster County. I 338 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.000 want to extend a heartfelt welcome from all of us 339 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:50.160 in Lancaster County. 340 00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:57.839 Thank you, thank you for all that you do. 341 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:03.119 My question, sir owns government and efficiency. What would be 342 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.880 your plan to make government more efficient? 343 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.640 Yeah, well so, I think the first of all, in 344 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:16.720 terms Ofer's ask, where would you start with government efficiency? 345 00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:18.559 It's and it's kind of like being in a room 346 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.519 where the entire room is targets, and so you can 347 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:26.240 shoot in any direction and not miss. It's like it's 348 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.880 just impossible to miss because every direction is a target. 349 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.640 So it's because it's a normous possibility. Now, we do 350 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:36.160 have a fundamental issue, which is that that the government 351 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:38.200 is spanning far much that far far more than it 352 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.480 brings in. And the reality is that all all government 353 00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:46.000 spending is actually taxation. All government spending is taxation. Sometimes 354 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:47.759 people think some of it is taxation and some of 355 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.359 it's not, but it's all taxation because the part that 356 00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:56.160 is not covered by tax revenue becomes inflation. So you're 357 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.599 either taxed directly or you're taxed by inflation. But you're 358 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:04.759 but you're off for for sure taxed and and and 359 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:06.799 so all gouvernm spending these taxations. So we have to 360 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.839 reduce cover spending overall like this. This will be forced 361 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:15.920 upon us in the future because already just the interest 362 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.519 payments on the debt are twenty three percent of all 363 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:20.079 federal tax revenue. 364 00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:21.240 Just the interest payments. 365 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.119 The interest payments now exceed the defense popic budget, which 366 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:26.160 is a trillion dollars a year. 367 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:26.880 That's a lot of money. 368 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.839 So just the interest on the debt exceeds what we 369 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.880 spend on the military, just the interest, and that is 370 00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.640 rising rapidly. So so it can't be like, you know, 371 00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:42.480 we'll we'll trim a little bit here and there. That's 372 00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:45.319 not going to work. They have to be quite radical 373 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:55.759 reductions in costs. Yeah, and I think we just need 374 00:23:55.839 --> 00:24:01.359 to be you know, if you know of please Lord 375 00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:06.319 drop wins uh the you know, and and and the 376 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.039 Duhamony government efficiency happens. We want we're gonna be very 377 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:13.599 open and transparent and be very clear about this is 378 00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:17.079 what we're doing. Here are the issues. This is this 379 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.759 is the math for what what's being spent and what 380 00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:24.119 you know, and and we're gonna make it. We're going 381 00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.000 to make the spending lower. And if if somebody's got 382 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.000 a better idea for how to make the spending. 383 00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:28.920 Lower, we'll tell us. 384 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:31.720 But but if we don't, we're going to bankrupt the country. 385 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.440 And and so we've got to do something. And it's 386 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:41.160 got to be like some pretty big moves. Yeah, I'd say, 387 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.640 like drain drain the swamps. This is like a there's 388 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.759 so many swamps. It's like, you know, this is so 389 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.440 many swamps. There's yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's just 390 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:55.839 nutty that like there was a massive increase in I R. 391 00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.319 S personnel and and and instead of adding people to 392 00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:04.279 the border prot role, like this is totally backwards. It's 393 00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.039 it's like like you can continue to remain a federal employee, 394 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:09.680 but you have to go to goud the border. That's 395 00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:10.240 your new job. 396 00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:12.359 You know. 397 00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:17.880 It's it's like, why are we spending money in applying 398 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.279 resources to oppress the American people while rolling out a 399 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.160 red carpet for illegal So it doesn't make any sense. 400 00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:35.240 So so yeah, it would have to be pretty big. 401 00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.960 I mean there's I actually have tried googling it, and 402 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:43.440 I've asked all the AIS how many how many government 403 00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.559 agencies are there? 404 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.039 And even the government doesn't know, okay, and the AIS 405 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:49.759 don't know that. 406 00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:54.160 They're like, well, it's about four hundred and fifty, but 407 00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:56.559 maybe it's four hundred and twenty. I'm like four twenty, 408 00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:02.599 no kidding, that's that's a lot of agencies, just at 409 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:05.039 the federal level. I mean, like if you sort of 410 00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:07.440 stand back and say, okay, just for a second, like 411 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:10.440 let's say we're starting the country again, how many agencies 412 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:14.599 do we need? Do we need more than ninety nine? 413 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.400 Because that's ninety nine is a lot of agencies, you know, Like, 414 00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:20.440 that's that's a lot. You know. If you said, like, 415 00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:26.119 does any how many people even know at ninety nine agencies, 416 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:31.519 I'd say practically no one knows nineteen nine knows the 417 00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:33.839 names of nineteen nine agencies, let alone the. 418 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:35.920 Four hundred and twenty or whatever there are. 419 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:46.039 Yeah, So we have to unwind the situation, and I think, well, 420 00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:48.640 I think we're going to do it, and it's going 421 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.880 to unleash a new era of prosperity because people that 422 00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.119 don't even realize how much they're getting held back by 423 00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:59.400 millions of federal regulations. 424 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:00.720 Literally. 425 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:11.319 Oh and if it turns out that that that we 426 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.319 accidentally got rid of a good regulation, we'll just put 427 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:16.400 it back. Is that easy? 428 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.319 Hey, elon, I'm Dan from Pennsylvania as well. 429 00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:30.920 I am a teacher, public school teacher, and I just 430 00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:33.599 bought a Tesla this year and it's been amazing for 431 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:34.720 my one hour commute. 432 00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.279 Right, Oh, thank you about that? 433 00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:36.839 Cool? 434 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:43.160 Traditionally, yes, oh my gosh, it blows like when I 435 00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:45.480 go into the teacher parking lot and I just tried 436 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:50.160 to summon today, like yeah, everybody's all hit the floor. 437 00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:52.200 Yeah as wild. Yeah. 438 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:55.480 So Republicans need to get out the vote. 439 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.200 And as the mail in balloting becomes more common, what 440 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:01.559 can I tell my friend ends about the safety and 441 00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.880 security of mail in ballots this election and future elections? 442 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.160 And then real quick, also, sure, my daughter is too. 443 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:12.680 Her name is Isabella. 444 00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:18.440 She loves the planets and loves astronomy, is already and 445 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:20.400 I want to know what I can, as a teacher 446 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:25.279 do to help inspire her curiosity for the heavens and 447 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:25.720 the stars. 448 00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:34.480 Sure, with respect to voting voting integrity, I think probably 449 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.839 your best thing to do is to hand it in 450 00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:39.279 in person, but you can also mail it in and 451 00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:42.000 you can check to see whether your ballot has been received. 452 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.240 So it is possible to check online or in person 453 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.480 to see if your ballot has been received. But I 454 00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:50.359 would encourage people to vote early because what can happen 455 00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:53.960 is that, you know, November fifth comes around and there's 456 00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:56.799 like you've got something critical at work, or there's like 457 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:02.000 a family emergency, or you know this, yeah, some mysterious 458 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:07.559 cybersecurity event that you never know might happen. So you know, 459 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.799 anything can crop up on November fifth, whether it's personal 460 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:13.680 or some you know, there could be some other, some 461 00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:14.319 other issue. 462 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:16.640 So it's it's it is best to vote early. 463 00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:17.960 Now. 464 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.960 It is very encouraging to see the early vote numbers 465 00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:23.720 because if you compare the early vote numbers this year 466 00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:27.440 to twenty twenty, there's about a I think the last 467 00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:29.680 numbers I saw, it's like a two to three hundred 468 00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:35.759 thousand vote different from twenty twenty. That's a huge that's 469 00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.279 a major because because I think it was like an 470 00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:41.400 eighty thousand vote threshold last time. 471 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.759 So Biden won ish by. 472 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:52.400 By by eighty thousand, eighty thousand votes, that was the 473 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:57.400 number that was reported. And and but the interesting thing 474 00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:01.960 is that that the delta votes is now two one 475 00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:04.680 hundred I think maybe approaching two hundred and fifty or 476 00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:10.960 even three hundred thousand, better than twenty twenty, which is 477 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.319 far in excess of the margin of twenty twenty. So 478 00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.440 Pennsylvania is trending in the right direction. It's very encouraging, 479 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.559 but there's still a lot of work to do, and 480 00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:35.240 we don't want to be complacent. So definitely get everyone 481 00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.920 you know to vote. And as I mentioned earlier, people 482 00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:42.000 can actually go in person on Monday and Tuesday if 483 00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.240 they're concerned about putting anything in the mail, and they 484 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.799 can actually get their ballot, Like even if they don't 485 00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:49.920 have their ballot, they can literally go to the county 486 00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.519 office get the ballot even though it's his absentee, and 487 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:54.759 then they handed it even though you're not absent. 488 00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.359 It's weird, but it works. 489 00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:59.720 But it stops working on Wednesday, and then the next 490 00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.559 up turnity is November fifth, So it's kind of quirky, 491 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.559 but that's that's those are the current rules. And then 492 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:08.960 let's see with respect to your daughter. 493 00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:10.680 And you know, I think. 494 00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:17.400 In order to inspire, like, kids are inspired by real 495 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.640 amazing imagery, Like they see something amazing. They see a 496 00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:25.599 rocket taking off, a rocket landing, or you know, robots 497 00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:28.279 walking around or like cool things like the stuff that 498 00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:29.440 you see in sci fi movies. 499 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:32.599 And when they see stuff like. 500 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:36.680 That, they're they're they're inspired automatically. They're inspired because it's 501 00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:41.640 because there are real advancements in technology. And that's uh, 502 00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:44.920 you know, that's that's that's what inspires kids because it's 503 00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.559 because it should. You Like, kids are like a great 504 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.640 filter for for what's awesome. Like you can tell like 505 00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:54.960 if a little kid reacts like wow, that's amazing, and 506 00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:56.079 that's like that's real. 507 00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:56.519 You know. 508 00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:02.880 So like kids love the cyberge truck and they love rockets. 509 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:07.400 You know that's because they have no filter. They just 510 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:13.880 say what they immediately say what they think, you know. So, yeah, 511 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:19.079 so it's great new rocket technology that allows us to 512 00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:23.400 like said, go there and be have a permanent science 513 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.759 station on the moon. You're not just like it's great 514 00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:29.400 that we're into the moon yet fifty plus years ago, 515 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:31.839 but we want to go to the Moon and actually 516 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.839 have a science base, Like, we've got a science base 517 00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:36.400 in Antarctica, Well, we should have a science base on 518 00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:39.000 the Moon, and we should be building a city on Mars. 519 00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:43.279 And I actually think it's it's the long term future 520 00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:46.960 of civilization. I think could be decided by whether or 521 00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:51.319 not we build a self sustaining city on Mars. And 522 00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:53.400 if we do that, that is a city that would 523 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.119 have millions of people, and it would be like, if 524 00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.559 anybody wants to go to Mars, that they could, and 525 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.839 that would be an incredibly inspiring thing to to to 526 00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:05.640 aspire to go to Mars. You're like, wow, let's make 527 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.839 that reel. Let's bring her to Mars. 528 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:09.200 Yes, let's bring it to Mars. 529 00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:11.160 Yeah, if she thinks like, wow, one day I could 530 00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:14.319 go to Mars, you know, and and and be one 531 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:15.839 of the Martians, and that would be. 532 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:19.279 Super awesome. I think. 533 00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.279 You know, it's it's well, the you go, it takes 534 00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:23.880 six months. 535 00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:26.279 Actually, when you go from Earth to Mars, you're just. 536 00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:31.519 You're just traveling across this this void of nothingness for 537 00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:36.079 hundreds of millions of miles until eventually you reach another planet. 538 00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:41.960 It's kind of incredible to think that that's even possible. 539 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:44.559 But and how amazing would that be? 540 00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.960 You know, like wow, I think that we want to 541 00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:52.599 have a future where life is multiplanetary, where we're advancing 542 00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:56.880 rocket technology, and like I said, where Star Trek Starfleet 543 00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:00.440 Academy is real, and that's what it will inspire your daughter. 544 00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:10.280 Thank you all right, Hi Elon, My name is Lauren 545 00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:12.440 from Pennsylvania. Thank you for being here, Thank you for 546 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.840 everything you're doing, and congratulations with SpaceX. You and your 547 00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.079 whole team are absolutely brilliant. I have two specific questions 548 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.280 for you. But I was curious because I looked all 549 00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:23.679 over on X today and I didn't see anybody who 550 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.280 won the million dollar prize. Oh yes, that gave it 551 00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:27.840 out today. 552 00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.639 Well let's see. I'm well, we're all going to give 553 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:36.880 it out tonight in fact, so let's to go ahead 554 00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.119 and do it. Yeah, okay, let's do it. Good timing, 555 00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:57.599 all right, Judy Kamara, Yeah, Judy has no idea. By 556 00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:58.559 the way, it's just learning now. 557 00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:07.679 So okay. 558 00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:13.840 With I think Judy's on our way here. 559 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:19.239 Uh, Like I said, Judy had no learned when you learned? 560 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.280 All right? Oh? 561 00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:25.719 Thank you? 562 00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:43.199 All right. M I mean we're trying to trying to 563 00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:46.519 get attention for this very important petition to support the Constitution. 564 00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:50.800 And uh, it's uh, you know, it's it's like if 565 00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:53.840 if we you know, we need the rights to pre speech, 566 00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:55.719 we need the right to be our arms, otherwise there 567 00:35:55.800 --> 00:36:06.679 is no right to free speech. And yeah, and and 568 00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:08.840 it's you know, it's peoples. I wonder why why didn't 569 00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.159 why what's up with the million dollar prices? I'm like, well, 570 00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:13.519 we needed to get the legacy media to talk about it, 571 00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.360 and and I just knew that they would be like 572 00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.760 complaining like hell about it. That like for sure, complaining 573 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.320 on every every newspaper, every TV station or complaining like 574 00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:26.880 like crazy. 575 00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:28.800 And that's just like great, that's gonna. 576 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:37.960 Get the word out.

And and 581 00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:05.880 also all you have to do is sign the petition 582 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:07.599 in support of the person and second Amendment. 583 00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:08.519 That's it. 584 00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:11.039 You don't you don't even have to vote.

Let me know if you want to 590 00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:38.119 share two specific questions for Elon. One regarding your concern 591 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:39.480 about the declining birth rate. 592 00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:40.719 Yeah, it's a big deal. 593 00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:44.320 It is besides us as women having more and more 594 00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.519 children and since we're the only ones who can give birth. 595 00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:49.159 Yes, what would you do. 596 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:54.440 You do need a womb? Is if a lot is 597 00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:56.800 to a woman is necessary? Otherwise you can't have kids 598 00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:03.159 currently it is necessary? Yes, what would be your solution? 599 00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:05.840 Would you be in favor of creating or supporting an 600 00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:09.039 IVF cyrocacy program to increase the birth rates? And my 601 00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:12.599 second question is about what would you recommend towards the 602 00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:15.599 first steps on improving our American educational system? 603 00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:18.559 Thank you? Yeah, I mean in general, like I think 604 00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.480 we should really view the birth rate as like an 605 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:23.079 extremely fundamental crisis. 606 00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:26.719 Like it's really shocking how low it is. 607 00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.599 You know, the birth rate in America, in the United 608 00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:33.599 States has been below replacement rate since I was born, 609 00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:38.559 roughly roughly around nineteen seventy one or so. That's since then, 610 00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:42.719 America has been below replacement rate, and pretty much every country, 611 00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:44.719 it seems as soon as they reach a certain level 612 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:49.480 of prosperity, the birth rate drops below replacement. And then 613 00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:51.760 I started looking into, well, it has this happened before 614 00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:55.639 in history, and in fact it has. It's in basically 615 00:38:55.880 --> 00:39:00.920 every civilization in the past. It's maybe intuitive, but the 616 00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:04.760 more prosperous that a civilization becomes, the lower. 617 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:05.119 The birth rate. 618 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.119 So it's because you think, well, with prosperity, you'd have 619 00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:13.280 more resources than you'd have more kids. Actually know, the 620 00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:17.960 historical fact is that the longer that a civilization has 621 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:22.280 been prosperous, the worst it's birthrate. God, and that this 622 00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:25.760 was an issue even in ancient Rome, like in fifty BC. 623 00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:28.840 There's like actually wherever we still have like the Roman 624 00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.679 laws that were written have passed laws to try to 625 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:39.639 improve the birthrate of Roman citizens in fifty BC. So like, basically, 626 00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:43.719 this is a fundamental civilizational challenge that has been encountered 627 00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:47.519 many times before. It's not something that just you know, 628 00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.119 happened recently. It's it's it's occurred throughout the cycle of civilizations, 629 00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:56.559 and I don't I hope we can at least partly 630 00:39:56.679 --> 00:40:00.280 reverse it. And I think part of that is at 631 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:03.480 least bringing it to conscious awareness because I meet many 632 00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:06.519 people who think that there are too many humans on Earth. 633 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.000 But this is not true. 634 00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:11.920 There aren't enough humans on Earth. In fact, you can 635 00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:14.280 fit all the humans on Earth in the city of 636 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:16.400 New York on one floor. 637 00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:18.199 Okay. 638 00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:21.480 So, or like if you if you fly across the 639 00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.320 country and you look down and say, if you if 640 00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.599 you're if you had to drop a ball in someone's head, 641 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:32.280 would you succeed and you would not because the density 642 00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:36.239 of people is very low. There's there are actually very 643 00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:38.880 few people on Earth. It's only if you live in 644 00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:41.760 a very dense city environment that it seems that there 645 00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:45.280 are many people that that Earth is densely populated, But 646 00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.159 it is only densely populated in zero point one percent. 647 00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:48.840 Of the surface area. 648 00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:53.039 So I at least want to bring it to conscious 649 00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:56.760 awareness so people don't think that Earth is overpopulated when 650 00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:59.360 in fact Earth is underpopulated. 651 00:40:59.440 --> 00:40:59.960 That is the true. 652 00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:04.760 Yeah, yeah, Obiligates is and I am not best friends 653 00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:08.480 to say the least, So I don't know he is. 654 00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:14.079 You know, I think this. You can arguably arguably say, like, 655 00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:18.199 look that maybe the real distinction is not right or left, 656 00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:22.599 but is someone an expansionist or an extinctionist, so. 657 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:26.519 He has some issues. This is true. 658 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:33.159 So but like if you say, like like any given civilization, 659 00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:36.760 it's it's not going to be exactly steady. So it's 660 00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:39.880 like they're any given civilization is either going to be 661 00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:43.480 growing or declining. And so you have to say you 662 00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:47.280 can kind of divide any person's actions into are they 663 00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.719 expansionist or extinctionist. And I mean, obviously I'm super expansionist 664 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.440 oriented because I think that's a far more exciting future 665 00:41:55.519 --> 00:42:01.159 than going extinct. You know, sounds of yes when you 666 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:08.760 say it like that. So yeah, So it's just but 667 00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:10.639 I still run into a lot of people who think 668 00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.239 Earth is overpopulated. So I'm like kind of hammering this point. 669 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:18.800 We're not overpopulated, we're underpopulated. And you know, so so 670 00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:22.440 I'm in the paper of really, you know, we need 671 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:27.159 to have babies by whatever means, whether it's ibfs, a legacy, 672 00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:31.960 whatever the case may be. You know, that can that 673 00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:36.159 can certainly help, and but we just can't go extinct, 674 00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:39.039 like with humans need to you know, I think humanity 675 00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:41.760 is great and we should have get bigger. 676 00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:44.000 You know, we want to expand. 677 00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:45.880 I think we should expand the scope and scale of 678 00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:48.960 consciousness so we can better understand the nature of the universe. 679 00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.199 I mean, that's the foundation of my philosophy. 680 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:54.639 Yeah, make babies great again. 681 00:42:55.400 --> 00:43:02.360 Yes, So yeah, hopefully that was helpful. 682 00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:06.079 So yeah, I'm high. 683 00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:08.760 I'm Mary Wrestler and I live in Lancaster, PA. I'm 684 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:12.000 a teacher here. I've been following you because of your 685 00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:15.079 work with World Literacy with X Prize as I was 686 00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:17.960 a participant in Barbara Bush X Prize with an app 687 00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:22.039 development called Literacy Speedway. But my passion is turning because 688 00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:24.679 since COVID, every day in the trenches in the classroom, 689 00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:27.760 I see the effects of mental health on our students. 690 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.639 Not only students, but I've seen two of my brothers 691 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.639 commit suicide. I've seen my own daughter who wasn't able 692 00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.000 to get a bed in a facility and had to 693 00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:41.360 wait months. I have seen what's happened to American families 694 00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.119 because of the mental health crisis and the lack of resources. 695 00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:48.239 Our mental health system in America is broken. And so 696 00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:50.960 even though I have a passion for World Literacy and 697 00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:54.880 always will, I also would like to ask you, because 698 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:59.039 I know of your collaboration, your contacts contacts with the 699 00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:04.039 election with what the new administration can possibly do. What 700 00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:07.400 can you guys do to fix our broken mental health 701 00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:08.360 system in America? 702 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:17.719 Sure well, I mean I'd be curious to hear your 703 00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:22.239 thoughts and suggestions. I mean, my my sort of observation 704 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:30.480 is that we do we overprescribe medication and and and 705 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:34.119 and that you know, like there's a lot a lot 706 00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.960 of regulation, uh, in fact too much regulation about getting 707 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:41.480 any any given medication approved, but then after it's approved, 708 00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:44.400 there's no follow up to see, hey, did we make 709 00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:47.360 a mistake. And then you get to get things that 710 00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.400 are approved and they just go hog wild and uh, 711 00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:52.880 and it's causing a lot of damage. But there's there's 712 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:56.920 not really a good revocation capability. So it doesn't make 713 00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:58.599 sense like there are good drugs that are not being 714 00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:01.000 approved and they are a bad drugs that have been approved. 715 00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:03.840 This is a broken system. We need to fix it. 716 00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:08.400 I think very often when when somebody has commit suicide 717 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:13.639 or if they've essentially done, if there's something, if something 718 00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:17.760 as bad has happened, like what were they prescribed? That 719 00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:20.079 is an important thing. Do you have any thoughts on this? 720 00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:23.519 I do have thoughts on it. I feel like in 721 00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:26.800 the Brooke and mortar school in the educational setting, not 722 00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:30.159 only to the States, because I know it's it's education 723 00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:33.920 is stay dictated, even though there's national national common Core 724 00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:38.239 curriculum that there needs to be mental health services embedded 725 00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:41.920 into every school at this juncture. There also needs to 726 00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:44.880 be facilities in every state, not a six month wait 727 00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:48.639 to say psychiatrists as in Pennsylvania at times, or twelve 728 00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:52.880 months to get a bed in a mental facility. The asylums, 729 00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:56.239 unfortunately weren't the fixed years ago in America because they 730 00:45:56.239 --> 00:45:59.079 were horrible. But when they were taken away, authority went 731 00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:02.400 to the states, money was taken away, and now you 732 00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:07.480 have outpatient services and there's a lack of prescribers, there's 733 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:11.840 a lack of counselors. There's a need for more and 734 00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:16.039 every day. Our prison system right now is housing half 735 00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:19.480 almost And I could give you the data to you know, 736 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:23.760 they're not there because they're criminals. They're there because they 737 00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:27.960 have mental health issues and it needs fixed. 738 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:32.679 Okay, are there any particular medications you think should be 739 00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:34.519 pulled from the market or added to the market. 740 00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:38.119 I believe that every child, when they're diagnosed with the 741 00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:41.360 mental health condition, should have There is a test for it. 742 00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:45.079 There's some kind of tongue tet that can dictate which 743 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:48.199 medications will work and won't work for you. However, you 744 00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:51.599 have to ask as a parent for that test. And 745 00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:54.760 I can guarantee for my experience in this with parents 746 00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:57.519 working in the school district or just from friends and 747 00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:01.119 other associates. Most people aren't aware of it because it's 748 00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:05.440 not paid by for insurance and most Americans can't afford it. 749 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:11.159 So when things aren't covered under your insurance, they're not 750 00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:14.079 given Like a doctor isn't going to prescribe that that 751 00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.559 is done. So you have to have the self awarence 752 00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:21.239 and knowledge to go and have that testing done, and 753 00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:24.119 most people, unfortunately just don't know it even exists. 754 00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.519 Okay, all right, Well, I think this is definitely and 755 00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:33.679 something we need to figure out figure out better. It's 756 00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:36.440 it is clearly, uh, I agree with you that this 757 00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:40.239 this this mental health issue, and I think what do 758 00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:42.760 we need to look at, like what what drugs actually 759 00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:46.559 work and and and and what other side effects and 760 00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:51.800 uh and some of them, I mean, yeah, I think 761 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.199 I think some of them are are are pretty sketch. Frankly, 762 00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:56.119 that some of the drugs that are that are prescribed. 763 00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:58.559 I mean, some of the stories I've heard about some 764 00:47:58.639 --> 00:48:03.320 of the psych psychic psychiatric meds from people are are 765 00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:06.840 pretty bad. Like it's like the reason they weren't in 766 00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:08.519 this in some case, the reason they wanted to commit 767 00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:10.880 suicide is when they when they took the drugs, not 768 00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:12.320 when they didn't. 769 00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:12.639 Take the drugs. 770 00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:18.719 You know, people people do need to believe in something, 771 00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:22.119 so you know, I think I think that they're probably 772 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:24.480 a nature of ahoorse a vacuum. So if if there is, 773 00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:28.800 you know, there's certainly a strong argument that the decline 774 00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:33.320 in religion has has led to people seeking a new religion, 775 00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:43.320 essentially a secular religion, so that is, you know, Orgalism 776 00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:48.440 is essentially a secular religion, but it's it's believed very fervently. 777 00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:49.400 So. 778 00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:59.559 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's a it's a strong strong 779 00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:00.400 argument for church. 780 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:20.239 I agree. So, well that's true. All right, Well let's 781 00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:20.599 see so. 782 00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:24.400 Hi, Hi, good evening. My name is Janell. 783 00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:27.159 It's nice to meet you. I wanted to actually first 784 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.440 thank you and probably behalf on everyone here to thank 785 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.360 you for creating the pack and the referral opportunity. I 786 00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:37.119 think everyone here is grateful I saw it as a 787 00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:39.320 way to support two amendments that I actually care about 788 00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:41.880 and don't want to see go away. And secondly, I 789 00:49:41.960 --> 00:49:43.440 saw it as a way that if I could refer 790 00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:45.679 my friend's family and everyone that I could go, I 791 00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:48.679 could earn some extra money. My husband and I are 792 00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:51.599 actually self funding our own fertility journey. I've got some 793 00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:55.079 unexplained infertility and so that money is going to actually 794 00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:57.880 pay our bill next month. And I've always wanted to 795 00:49:58.079 --> 00:49:59.800 become a mom and I have a dream to be 796 00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:01.920 a and I know one day it will happen. I'm 797 00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:05.039 drawn to your population concerns. I don't know if you've 798 00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.440 talked to President Trump, but I would love to know 799 00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:11.239 if you would consider pack or advocating a grant for 800 00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:14.079 fertility to make Americans like myself be able to afford 801 00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:15.880 it and have a baby. 802 00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:16.960 Yeah. 803 00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:22.719 Well I'm super pro baby, so yes, yeah, absolutely, I'm 804 00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:26.239 super super super pro baby, so yes absolutely. 805 00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:34.920 Hey, Elon, my name is Furman Jones, and I just 806 00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:37.199 wanted to start out and say I really believe in you, 807 00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:40.199 and I know everybody in here believes in you for 808 00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:43.400 one reason or another, and I'm super thankful to even 809 00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.679 get to ask you a question. But anyways, I also 810 00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:49.679 believe in the Constitution, and I'll believe in the Bible, 811 00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:53.599 and that's what I'm gonna ask you about. Sure, the 812 00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:56.679 Bible says that nobody's perfect, and there's no perfect form 813 00:50:56.800 --> 00:51:01.119 of government on this earth because greed is inevitable. It's 814 00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:04.480 like Churchill says that democracy is the worst form of 815 00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:07.679 government except for all the other types. Right, But the 816 00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.039 one government that the Bible does say is perfect is 817 00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:12.920 the Kingdom of God. And Isaiah thirty three twenty two 818 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.519 says the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our king, 819 00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:17.920 and the Lord is our our law maker. 820 00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:18.440 Yeah. 821 00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:23.000 So I feel like so much of your worldview. 822 00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:25.679 Aligns with Biblical principles, and we need Christians to vote 823 00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:29.719 and see that greed, that communism is the greatest manifestation 824 00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:32.400 of evil and greed, and so yeah, that's my question. 825 00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:34.199 How do we get Christians to vote? And if you 826 00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:37.800 have time, what keeps you from leaving the Bible or 827 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:38.800 being more vocal about it? 828 00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:39.039 So? 829 00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:43.480 Yeah, well, it is interesting that actually I was told 830 00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:48.280 that a surprisingly small percentage of evangelicals, of people that 831 00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:52.199 are really strong believers, access It's quite a small percentage 832 00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:57.280 that votes, I thought, and I hope, yeah, well this 833 00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:01.039 is what I was told. Anyway, I saw I suddenly 834 00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:05.119 hope more more people, more Christians vote, That would be great, 835 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:10.320 please do so yeah, I mean I so I was, uh, 836 00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:12.880 you know, uh brought. 837 00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:14.920 Up Christian and uh. 838 00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:19.440 I went to actually somewhat strangely, went to Sunday school. 839 00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:24.480 And also I was sent to a Hebrew preschool. You know, 840 00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:26.800 it's not I'm not Jewish, but I was. I don't know, 841 00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:30.239 it's just still I think it was in the neighborhood 842 00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:35.119 or something, you know. And so I was like hoping 843 00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:37.119 a gala one day, Jesus is all over the next. 844 00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:44.079 And I was like, great, So you know, uh, so 845 00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:49.639 you know, I certainly I'm I'm I believe in the 846 00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:53.280 like the teachings of Christ. I believe you know that 847 00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:58.280 He's like I believe in the Christian principles. Uh, you know, 848 00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:01.320 love thy neighbor. I believe in turn the other cheek, 849 00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:05.039 which is very important for it to have forgiveness, because 850 00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.440 if you don't have forgiveness, then you have an endless 851 00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:12.920 cycle of recribution, you know. Like you know, I used 852 00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:14.320 to think, like why would you turn the other cheek? 853 00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:20.840 That's ridiculous. Uh, you know, sponge them. But and I 854 00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:23.039 think you do need to actually be strong, like you 855 00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:26.559 can't be weak because if somebody's if you're facing sort 856 00:53:26.599 --> 00:53:31.199 of a predatory threat, uh, and that threat is stronger 857 00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:33.920 than you and that and then that threat doesn't believe 858 00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:35.400 in Christian values, then you. 859 00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:38.719 Will just get you know, executed. I mean, I don't know. 860 00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:43.400 But but at a certain point, once you are strong, 861 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:47.039 once you are once you are strong, you should you 862 00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:53.320 should forgive the transgressions of others, you know. And this 863 00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:56.440 is obviously not something they believe in the Middle East, 864 00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:02.360 which is why there's this endless cycle of violent you know. 865 00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:06.159 So I really think that yeah. 866 00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:08.039 We should. 867 00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:12.800 Yeah, I should love let everyone when we should forgive, 868 00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:20.920 and we should we should be kind and gentle. So yeah, 869 00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:26.719 I believe I believe in what Jesus. 870 00:54:26.920 --> 00:54:28.519 I believe. I believe in what Jesus said. 871 00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:28.840 Yeah. 872 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:34.079 Yeah, Hello Elon Musk. My name is Grant and Agle 873 00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:38.800 my family. It's really really good to meet you. My 874 00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:43.360 first question was do you have an answer to life, 875 00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:45.360 the universe and everything? 876 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:52.039 Well, the classic answer is forty two and four twenty 877 00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:53.679 is just ten forty twos. 878 00:54:56.920 --> 00:55:00.880 Interesting but my real question, yes, sorry, my real question 879 00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:05.280 would be what is the most useful, most powerful piece 880 00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:06.800 of advice you have ever received? 881 00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:10.400 The most useful piece of advice. 882 00:55:14.719 --> 00:55:25.880 Well, that's a tough one, huh. Yes, indeed, vote Republican. 883 00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:45.519 That's yeah, yeah, I mean this is this is maybe 884 00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:48.519 gonna sound like maybe like I like I believe in 885 00:55:48.639 --> 00:55:52.000 like like, well, if you study physics, if you if 886 00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:59.119 you study I just recommend studying physics. Uh uh, you know, 887 00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:03.159 and and and and the tools of physics of the 888 00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:07.760 sort of the thinking tools that it's it's it's not 889 00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:10.119 it's not just a bunch of it's What matters. 890 00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:11.840 Is not remembering a bunch of formulas. 891 00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:17.679 What matters is the thinking process that led to the 892 00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:24.920 discovery of those formulas. It's sort of critical thinking, first 893 00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:29.960 principles analysis, trying to understand what is true at the 894 00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:34.400 most fundamental level and then reasoning up from there and 895 00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:39.400 testing your conclusions against uh, the most fundamental truths in 896 00:56:39.480 --> 00:56:43.400 any given arena. This is how you can figure out 897 00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:45.400 whether something is more likely to be true or not. 898 00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:47.760 And I think it's it's good to think in terms 899 00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:52.639 of probabilities. So you receive information about a subject that 900 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.719 should that should change the probability. 901 00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:59.039 Of your conclusion, but but not the certainty of your conclusion. 902 00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.599 Like so in physics teaches you that you should not 903 00:57:01.719 --> 00:57:06.639 be one hundred percent certain that about any given prediction. 904 00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:11.719 Now there's some things that are highly likely, but but 905 00:57:12.840 --> 00:57:16.639 physics teaches you you've got to you got to assign 906 00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:19.239 a probability to something being true, and then as you 907 00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:24.639 learn more information, your original conclusion may be wrong, and 908 00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:27.559 then you know you should then change your mind based 909 00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:28.599 on the new information. 910 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:34.559 I mean, you can think of it intelligence kind of 911 00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:37.960 as just how good is. 912 00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:43.360 How how how I think that, Yeah, probably the right 913 00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:46.440 metric for intelligence is the ability to predict predict the future. 914 00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:50.360 If you can predict the future, well, then you're then 915 00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:53.840 you're you're you're as intelligent as you can predict the future. Well, 916 00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:57.239 because if something if somebody claims, well, this is thing, 917 00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:01.760 is this this person or or the AI is very intelligent, Like, well, 918 00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:04.360 what how good are are its predictions? And if it's 919 00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:07.519 predictions are not very good, it's not that smart. So 920 00:58:09.519 --> 00:58:10.159 that's that's. 921 00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:10.440 Uh. 922 00:58:11.079 --> 00:58:15.519 I think the key nature of intelligence and if you're 923 00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:17.960 trying to decide what to do in the future, it is. 924 00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:23.000 Really it just comes down to predicting the future, and 925 00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:26.559 to break the future you have to think critically about 926 00:58:26.719 --> 00:58:32.559 the past and constantly try to be less wrong. So 927 00:58:32.719 --> 00:58:37.039 maybe that would be maybe that would be right up 928 00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:40.320 there in terms of best advice aspire to be less wrong. 929 00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:50.559 Hi Elon. 930 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.480 Yes, First off, thank you so much for having us 931 00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:57.199 here today. We always appreciate that we have somebody in 932 00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:00.800 your level of influence that can listen to do regular 933 00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:04.079 people and kind of get our voices heard. And it's 934 00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:05.960 also not every day that a person gets to meet 935 00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:09.639 their hero and ask them a question. So my main 936 00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:15.599 question is since COVID, the current administration has really put 937 00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:18.800 a struggle with small businesses, and especially here in PA, 938 00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:22.360 we've seen a large decline in both the foundation of 939 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:26.039 small business and I've personally known several small businesses that 940 00:59:26.119 --> 00:59:29.880 have had to close due to increasing regulation, taxes, you name. 941 00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:30.559 It, acts. 942 00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:36.039 The burden of excess regulation is very severe and it 943 00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:40.079 crushes a lot of small companies and it makes big 944 00:59:40.159 --> 00:59:43.000 companies operate much less efficiently. 945 00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:46.639 So how do you think that we as small business 946 00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:51.119 owners and non small business owners can fight against this? 947 00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:54.320 And also what can you do as a former small 948 00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:57.559 business owner that you can kind of fight for us. 949 00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:02.599 Well, I mean to your point, I think a dramatic 950 01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:08.320 reduction in government spending and government overregulation like you call it, 951 01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:11.960 sort of America is getting sort of strangulation by overregulation 952 01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:18.079 will unleash in your era of prosperity. It just allow 953 01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:20.960 people to do useful and productive things and don't make 954 01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:23.679 it a two year permitting nightmare, which is often is, 955 01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:28.400 and then burden small businesses with taxes that make them 956 01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:29.000 go bankrupt. 957 01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:35.679 So yeah, it's pretty straightforward. 958 01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:38.760 Like I said, it's kind of mind blowing that there 959 01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:43.760 are over four hundred federal agencies governing our lives. Most 960 01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:46.840 of them people have never heard of, but they do 961 01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:53.320 affect your life and unbalanced negatively. So we just need 962 01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:58.199 far fewer agencies and get the government off your back. Yeah. 963 01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:07.119 Hi, my name is Margaret from Lancaster. Thank you for 964 01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:08.840 your time, for the most valuable thing you can give 965 01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:14.159 to any organization. So thank you, Thank you, sir. So 966 01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:16.000 my question is my wife's a natural or at least 967 01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:19.519 US citizen. She's registered to vote. I banked my vote already. 968 01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:21.639 I was just wondering if you'd be willing to talk about. 969 01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:23.239 I mean, we did it the right way. We took 970 01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:26.079 years and money, and we got her naturalized the right way. 971 01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:28.920 If you'd be wanting to talk about your experience at 972 01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:32.119 all with immigration and also other than secure border, how 973 01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:33.480 you see fixing that system. 974 01:01:34.360 --> 01:01:37.239 Yeah, well, since your wife has gone through the. 975 01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:42.679 Process of becoming a citizen and getting green card, you've 976 01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:48.440 seen how absurdly slow and arduous it is. So I mean, 977 01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:52.960 I think that the general principle that makes sense is 978 01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:56.159 the same principle that you'd operate a professional sports team 979 01:01:56.199 --> 01:01:58.239 on or a company, which is like, who would you 980 01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:01.119 want on your team? And if somebody is going to 981 01:02:01.159 --> 01:02:05.599 be productive, like productive and honest and a net contributor, 982 01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:07.239 and that'd be a great addition to. 983 01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:08.559 The team, welcome aboard. 984 01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:11.920 It should be not a long process because they'll they'll 985 01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:15.920 they'll produce more than they consume. They'll make everyone, everyone's 986 01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:20.880 lives better. And so we have this bizarre situation which 987 01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:24.519 is like mind blowing that it is easier to get 988 01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:28.920 into this country as a murderer than as a nobel laureate. 989 01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:33.199 Literally that's not an exaggeration. 990 01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:38.880 But just like what you know, it's like, I mean, 991 01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:41.079 it's like if like if if you have the opportunity 992 01:02:41.119 --> 01:02:44.800 to say, have like, uh, you know, Lebron James or 993 01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:48.000 Steph Curry on your team, and you'd be like, yeah, 994 01:02:48.039 --> 01:02:51.079 that would make total sense. Our team's gonna win. They'll 995 01:02:51.119 --> 01:02:52.480 make the whole team better, you know. 996 01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:56.039 So we want to actually. 997 01:02:57.280 --> 01:02:59.840 We need to have things be what they should, which 998 01:02:59.880 --> 01:03:05.599 is that legal immigration of honest, hard working, talented people 999 01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:09.880 is quick and easy and coming into the country illegally 1000 01:03:10.119 --> 01:03:12.719 is hard. That's how it should be. 1001 01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:22.639 Yeah, So. 1002 01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:26.599 Honestly, like, okay, I'd like kind of a crazy idea. 1003 01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:28.079 This is what this one's going to hit the press, 1004 01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:32.800 which is like, what if we gave legal immigration job 1005 01:03:33.079 --> 01:03:38.880 to Chick fil a? They are so efficient, they make 1006 01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:43.280 an amazing chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwiches are epic and 1007 01:03:43.360 --> 01:03:45.679 they make a zillion of them and they just get 1008 01:03:45.719 --> 01:03:48.599 it done. I think we should give the immigration job 1009 01:03:48.679 --> 01:03:52.000 to Chick fil a. They were cross. 1010 01:03:55.320 --> 01:03:56.280 That's going to be a headline. 1011 01:03:58.079 --> 01:04:02.719 Hello mister mus but honestly be great. Hello mister Muscus, 1012 01:04:02.719 --> 01:04:03.400 an honor to meet you. 1013 01:04:03.719 --> 01:04:05.840 So my question is this, and I ask this as 1014 01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:08.480 a first time voter. As we know, Trump did not 1015 01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:11.800 and has not accepted the results of the twenty twenty election, 1016 01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:14.119 one which has been called the most secure in the 1017 01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:18.400 nation's history by the former president's owned Department of Homeland Security. 1018 01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:22.079 Similarly, similarly, I. 1019 01:04:22.239 --> 01:04:26.199 Saw the violent disruption of the electoral vote count on 1020 01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:27.639 the news during January sixth. 1021 01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:32.760 So my and I asked this, as a first time voter. 1022 01:04:32.679 --> 01:04:35.519 Who wants to discern the truth, Sure, what would you 1023 01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:38.360 say to comfort the concerns of young voters like me 1024 01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:41.320 who are worried that voting for a second Trump presidency 1025 01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:43.199 will lead to democratic backsliding. 1026 01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:50.440 Well, I think that's a fair question. Honestly, the I 1027 01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:54.599 think it is It is a fair question. I mean, 1028 01:04:55.239 --> 01:05:05.079 the thing is that, yeah, like I want to very 1029 01:05:05.159 --> 01:05:08.000 framed this correctly and obviously, anything I say that the 1030 01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:10.760 legacy media is going to take a SoundBite out of 1031 01:05:10.880 --> 01:05:13.719 what I say and miss and misconstrue what I'm saying, 1032 01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:17.280 which is something they've done with President Trump many times. 1033 01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:20.280 It is very important if you've if you've heard something 1034 01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:24.079 bad about President Trump, listen to his whole speech. That's 1035 01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:32.280 actually very important, you know, and uh, you know on 1036 01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:35.239 January sixth, I mean his statements on that day he 1037 01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:38.400 told people to back down. I mean he said he said, 1038 01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:41.519 do not do violence, and then people were like saying, well, 1039 01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:44.519 that's actually some sort of dog whistle about doing violence. 1040 01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:47.360 I'm like, what are you supposed to say? You know, 1041 01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:51.320 he did actually tell people to to not not be violent. 1042 01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:57.519 He recommended that the National Guard be deployed. Nancy Pelosi said, no, 1043 01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:05.239 I don't, So he didn't call for any violence exactly. 1044 01:06:05.800 --> 01:06:09.119 And if you look at like, while it's obviously you know, 1045 01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:13.280 I think it was you know, and like the level 1046 01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:16.599 of disruption was was high, and I don't I don't 1047 01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:20.199 applaud any any kind of damage to public property, of 1048 01:06:20.280 --> 01:06:25.559 course that you know, but it's you know, the media 1049 01:06:26.360 --> 01:06:29.239 tries to characterize January sixth as some some sort of 1050 01:06:29.639 --> 01:06:31.519 violent insurrection, which. 1051 01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:34.440 Is simply not the case. I mean, that is false. 1052 01:06:42.360 --> 01:06:45.079 So you know, I would take I think probably what 1053 01:06:45.199 --> 01:06:47.079 I think is the reasonable middle ground, which is I 1054 01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:50.840 disagree with the level of protest, but it's isn't It 1055 01:06:51.039 --> 01:06:52.559 wasn't no way of violent insurrection. 1056 01:06:53.199 --> 01:06:55.440 You know that the so that. 1057 01:06:56.920 --> 01:06:58.440 There's got to be a lot of guns for to 1058 01:06:58.519 --> 01:07:01.719 be a violent insurrection, and uh and. 1059 01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:02.559 And and they were. 1060 01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:07.760 There were a lot of strange things from a vote 1061 01:07:07.760 --> 01:07:11.119 in terms of voting irregularities that are hard to explain. 1062 01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:15.199 So, uh, what what what? 1063 01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:22.880 It's yeah, I mean there were things that are statistically unlikely. 1064 01:07:23.320 --> 01:07:28.960 Put that way, and and so it's not as though 1065 01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:32.800 the Janerary six protesters had that their protests had no merit. 1066 01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:34.000 They had some merit. 1067 01:07:34.360 --> 01:07:37.239 I disagree with the magnitude of what they did, but 1068 01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:40.920 I I but it's not as though there were no issues. 1069 01:07:40.960 --> 01:07:45.079 There were actually there were issues. And we have this 1070 01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:49.360 weird situation in America where it is almost impossible to 1071 01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:53.639 prove fraud because if you've got no voter ID and 1072 01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:57.800 mail in ballots, how do you how do you prove fraud? 1073 01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:06.000 And you know, and and it does seem more than 1074 01:08:06.039 --> 01:08:08.360 a little odd that we don't have vote I D 1075 01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:11.599 and New York at say, states like California, which is 1076 01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:14.840 the super majority Democrat, they've passed a law banning voter 1077 01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:20.359 ID in any election whatsoever. Now, how is that supporting democracy? 1078 01:08:22.159 --> 01:08:31.199 That's not supporting democracy? I mean, that's insane. Almost every 1079 01:08:31.239 --> 01:08:33.640 country on Earth has voter ID requirements, but we don't. 1080 01:08:34.359 --> 01:08:37.359 Why and why do the same people that demanded vaccine 1081 01:08:37.399 --> 01:08:40.039 IDs for you to do anything are the same ones 1082 01:08:40.560 --> 01:08:45.479 to say, no idea for voting thumon doesn't add up. 1083 01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:48.319 It doesn't, it doesn't add. 1084 01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:55.279 Up, you know, so I actually think, I mean, my 1085 01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:58.880 my firm opinion is that those who say Trump is 1086 01:08:58.880 --> 01:09:02.239 a threat to democracy are themselves the threat to democracy. 1087 01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:18.960 Make some noise. Yeah, I'll tell you what. 1088 01:09:19.119 --> 01:09:19.960 That was awesome. 1089 01:09:21.439 --> 01:09:23.920 Conspiracy was theory and now it's the truth. 1090 01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:26.279 I mean, I'll see you at this point.

And 1200 01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:41.800 along those lines, do you have any plans to bring 1201 01:15:41.920 --> 01:15:44.560 more Tesla manufacturing back to the US. 1202 01:15:45.479 --> 01:15:48.680 Well, Tesla actually is a massive manufacturer in the US. 1203 01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:52.920 In fact, the biggest factory that's been built in recent 1204 01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:57.119 years is the Tesla factory in Texas, So. 1205 01:15:58.079 --> 01:15:58.680 That's uh. 1206 01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:03.199 Yeah, And and then there's another big factory in Nevada, 1207 01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:08.399 So there's gig Nevada, and uh Giga Texas and maybe 1208 01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:15.600 someday Pennsylvania, so that that that would be that would 1209 01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:17.880 be super cool. I'm a huge believer in manufacturing. I 1210 01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:22.600 love manufacturing, like making things. I've spent a lot of 1211 01:16:22.680 --> 01:16:24.880 time in the factory, walking the floor. I lived in 1212 01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:28.560 the factory for a while, literally lived in the factory. 1213 01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:32.079 Uh it was kind of like it's kind of like 1214 01:16:32.159 --> 01:16:35.079 Vegas actually because I didn't even see the outside, but 1215 01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:39.840 the lights were always on. But we had some tough 1216 01:16:39.920 --> 01:16:42.279 times in Tesla. It's really difficult to make any kind 1217 01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:49.000 of manufacturing company work. And uh, you know, yeah, Testa's 1218 01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:52.600 actually also the biggest manufacturing employer in California still. 1219 01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:55.720 But the state is not super grateful. 1220 01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:00.359 So but but yeah, I'm I'm a big so. So 1221 01:17:00.439 --> 01:17:02.520 we we do a ton of manufacturing in the US. 1222 01:17:03.039 --> 01:17:06.920 Uh and we we we we keep investing and increasing 1223 01:17:06.960 --> 01:17:10.119 our manufacturing activity in the US. And and SpaceX also 1224 01:17:10.319 --> 01:17:11.680 is a massive manufacturer. 1225 01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:11.960 Uh. 1226 01:17:12.479 --> 01:17:15.760 SpaceX is the biggest manufacturer of rockets and satellites in 1227 01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:16.079 the world. 1228 01:17:17.319 --> 01:17:21.479 And uh, yeah, so and that's that's that's all in 1229 01:17:21.560 --> 01:17:24.439 the US. So SpaceX manufacturing is all in the US. 1230 01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:28.760 And uh and Tesla has massive amounts of manufacturing in 1231 01:17:28.760 --> 01:17:30.520 the US, like giant factories. 1232 01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:36.359 So I'm a big believer in manufacturing. So it's from 1233 01:17:36.800 --> 01:17:38.399 I mean, I do think a. 1234 01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:41.920 Reform of the tax code it would make sense because 1235 01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:46.000 it's extremely complicated and there are too many loopholes. 1236 01:17:47.439 --> 01:17:47.600 You know. 1237 01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:49.680 I'm often pitched on these loopholes. That's how I know 1238 01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:50.199 they exist. 1239 01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:54.920 And I'm like, that sounds pretty shady. I don't think 1240 01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:57.279 we should do that. We're like, well, lots of other 1241 01:17:57.319 --> 01:17:58.960 people are getting away with it. Well, like yeah, but 1242 01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:00.199 I still don't think we should it. 1243 01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:01.720 Yeah. 1244 01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:05.880 I four is fourth. I'm the the largest individual taxpayer 1245 01:18:05.920 --> 01:18:09.960 in history. So I paid ten billion dollars in tax. 1246 01:18:10.039 --> 01:18:14.079 Over ten billion dollars in tax. We welcome. Like I 1247 01:18:14.600 --> 01:18:17.079 sort of thought maybe the irs would, like, you know, 1248 01:18:17.439 --> 01:18:21.359 send me like a little trophy or something, you know, yeah, 1249 01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:23.039 like one of those like doesn't have to be expensive. 1250 01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:24.119 It could be like, you know, one of those like 1251 01:18:24.239 --> 01:18:26.600 like things you get for when kids win a karate competition, 1252 01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:30.079 like little plastic gold trophy or something like that, or 1253 01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:33.479 a cookie or something. But I don't get anything. It's like, 1254 01:18:33.680 --> 01:18:37.239 you know, and uh, but I was happy to pay 1255 01:18:37.279 --> 01:18:41.479 the taxes. I don't mind, you know, yeah, it's good 1256 01:18:41.520 --> 01:18:46.880 week this week. Yeah, stock markets wild wild, sort of 1257 01:18:47.039 --> 01:18:50.760 roller coaster, you know. I think Warren Buffet's got a 1258 01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:53.399 good good a lot of good sayings actually, But what 1259 01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:56.039 one of his sayings I believe is like, you know, 1260 01:18:56.119 --> 01:18:58.479 having a public traded company is like having someone stand 1261 01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:01.760 outside your house and yell house prices all day and 1262 01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:04.560 it's still the same house, and you're like, why is 1263 01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:07.119 this person yelling house prices at me all day long? 1264 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:10.840 And that's what it's like. Being in a publicly traded 1265 01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:14.000 company is just they just yelled stock prices at you 1266 01:19:14.079 --> 01:19:16.760 all day long, and it's like, well, it's actually still 1267 01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:18.560 pretty much the same company as yesterday. 1268 01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:24.560 So it's it's it's it's kind of weird being in 1269 01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:25.760 a publicly traded situation. 1270 01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:29.840 But anyway, I think we should we should simplify the 1271 01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:33.319 tax code, get rid of a lot of exceptions and loopholes, 1272 01:19:34.159 --> 01:19:36.439 and make it easy to fill out taxes. It shouldn't 1273 01:19:36.479 --> 01:19:44.720 be this like extremely complicated thing. Yeah, but but overall 1274 01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:47.039 I think that like if we if we have less 1275 01:19:47.079 --> 01:19:51.800 federal spending, then there's less taxation, and so that's and 1276 01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:55.159 we we we have to reduce federal spending. There's no 1277 01:19:55.279 --> 01:19:58.000 way to make up for it other than than reducing 1278 01:19:58.039 --> 01:20:01.399 the federal spending. And as I mentioned earlier, like a 1279 01:20:01.479 --> 01:20:03.640 very important point that I think is important for people 1280 01:20:03.640 --> 01:20:08.880 to understand is that all federal spending is taxation. Because 1281 01:20:09.399 --> 01:20:11.520 what is not what they don't receive, what the federal 1282 01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:14.239 company doesn't receive in direct revenue, they make up for 1283 01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:18.760 in inflation. They just print money. So all federal spending 1284 01:20:18.840 --> 01:20:22.159 is taxation. Very important principle. Almost no, very few people 1285 01:20:22.199 --> 01:20:25.840 seem to time even like, you know, somebody's like spend 1286 01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:28.840 their life in economics. I'll mention to them, hey, all spending, 1287 01:20:29.199 --> 01:20:31.840 all federal spending is taxation. They're like, first they'll argue 1288 01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:33.920 with me, and they're like, then they will agree it 1289 01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:37.760 is because it is either direct tax revenue or it 1290 01:20:37.840 --> 01:20:43.039 is inflation. All federal spending is taxation. So we must 1291 01:20:43.039 --> 01:20:45.479 reduce federal spending or we will go bankrupt as a country. 1292 01:20:47.039 --> 01:20:56.359 All right, Hey, Yvonne, I'm Chadwick from Westchester, Pennsylvania. I 1293 01:20:56.439 --> 01:21:00.640 met you asked week I met you asked week it Harrisburg, 1294 01:21:01.039 --> 01:21:03.119 And since then I've been prouder than ever to wear 1295 01:21:03.159 --> 01:21:05.800 my maga hat around. You've really inspired me to wear 1296 01:21:05.840 --> 01:21:08.079 it more and more. And since then, I've had my 1297 01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:10.800 car slashed with a key. Really fine, Yeah, it's fine. 1298 01:21:10.880 --> 01:21:13.199 Trump got hit with a bullet in the air, and 1299 01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:16.920 look at him, he's doing good. So uh yeah, somebody 1300 01:21:17.119 --> 01:21:20.439 chased me around with the shopping cart. Well, yeah, it happens. 1301 01:21:20.479 --> 01:21:21.960 That's just that's a part of Westchester. 1302 01:21:22.399 --> 01:21:26.960 It's well, honestly, I mean at this point, it's like 1303 01:21:27.039 --> 01:21:30.520 flying the rebel flag man, you know. Yeah, it's really 1304 01:21:31.119 --> 01:21:37.319 mag It's an adventure. Yeah. I've had some people get 1305 01:21:37.439 --> 01:21:42.199 mad at me. Yeah, just like big time. I do 1306 01:21:42.359 --> 01:21:44.079 have I do have a question this time though. 1307 01:21:44.159 --> 01:21:46.239 I actually I met somebody on X. 1308 01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:49.119 I do podcasting, and I met somebody on X directly 1309 01:21:49.159 --> 01:21:50.760 through the platform. I would call him a friend. His 1310 01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:54.760 name is Derek, and he has something called spina bifida. 1311 01:21:55.039 --> 01:21:57.279 Yeah it is spina biffit a month right now, So 1312 01:21:57.560 --> 01:21:59.600 spina biffit of Awareness Month. I wanted to put the 1313 01:21:59.600 --> 01:22:03.680 aware to out there is that it's a spinal he's 1314 01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:06.840 form with some spinal kind of like issues and he's 1315 01:22:06.920 --> 01:22:09.760 never been able to walk and really never well well 1316 01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:12.680 I guess not according from what I learned, and he's 1317 01:22:12.720 --> 01:22:14.439 never he hasn't been able to walk like his whole 1318 01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:18.319 his whole life. So my question is, like, for the 1319 01:22:18.359 --> 01:22:22.760 disabled community and for people like him, will things like 1320 01:22:23.880 --> 01:22:27.279 will things like neuralink help? And also what will the 1321 01:22:27.359 --> 01:22:30.439 Trump administration be doing for people who are disabled to 1322 01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:31.800 help them anything? 1323 01:22:32.760 --> 01:22:32.960 Well? 1324 01:22:33.079 --> 01:22:33.520 Yeah, so. 1325 01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:37.159 I think I think there actually are a lot of 1326 01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:41.840 things that like medical devices and drugs that could be 1327 01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:46.319 approved that are sort of stuck in regulatory molasses, like 1328 01:22:46.359 --> 01:22:49.159 they're just you know, it's like trying to get anything 1329 01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:52.359 new approved is like running in molasses with lead shoes. 1330 01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:54.520 It's really slow. 1331 01:22:55.600 --> 01:22:59.399 So, you know, a good friend of mine was telling 1332 01:22:59.479 --> 01:23:02.720 me how his mom was diagnosed with brain cancer and 1333 01:23:02.880 --> 01:23:06.399 not the doctor said like, well, that's that's pretty much 1334 01:23:06.760 --> 01:23:09.359 this game over, you know, and then he talked to 1335 01:23:10.439 --> 01:23:13.439 but he's very enterprising guy, so he didn't take that 1336 01:23:14.239 --> 01:23:17.079 for an answer, and he asked every smart person he knew, 1337 01:23:17.239 --> 01:23:20.119 is there anything that that could help cure brain cancer. 1338 01:23:20.199 --> 01:23:23.479 Turns out there there's a drug called welly Rig that 1339 01:23:23.640 --> 01:23:25.760 was in trials at Harvard, I believe, and. 1340 01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:29.079 It cured his mom's brain cancer. 1341 01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:35.079 So you know, I'm like, well, like, how many wellie, 1342 01:23:35.159 --> 01:23:37.600 rigs are there out there, maybe there's a whole bunch 1343 01:23:37.640 --> 01:23:40.920 of them and and devices and everything, and we should 1344 01:23:41.439 --> 01:23:43.319 you know, like I said earlier, it's like we need 1345 01:23:43.399 --> 01:23:46.479 to expedite approval of drugs, make sure people, you know, 1346 01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:48.920 that people are properly informed of the pros and the 1347 01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:51.600 cons and then there also needs to be some after 1348 01:23:51.760 --> 01:23:54.720 approval follow up to say like was something approved that 1349 01:23:55.479 --> 01:23:58.680 shouldn't have been approved, or whether it needs to be 1350 01:23:58.720 --> 01:23:59.600 additional warnings. 1351 01:24:01.600 --> 01:24:02.520 It's pretty common. 1352 01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:05.199 It's common sense, I think, you know, just but like 1353 01:24:05.720 --> 01:24:08.479 when you're dealing with the government, like common sense, it 1354 01:24:08.600 --> 01:24:13.560 doesn't make sense, like you know, common sense just bounces 1355 01:24:13.560 --> 01:24:15.359 off the government like water off ducks back, you know. 1356 01:24:16.279 --> 01:24:17.760 I mean, it's like arguing with the d m V. 1357 01:24:19.520 --> 01:24:26.479 That's impossible. They did put the COVID vaccine quick. Yeah, 1358 01:24:26.560 --> 01:24:30.920 that was weird and they made everyone take it, which 1359 01:24:31.039 --> 01:24:33.319 is messed up. So I don't think people should be 1360 01:24:33.319 --> 01:24:35.640 forced to ta vaccine unless that against their will. 1361 01:24:37.760 --> 01:24:48.159 But hi, Elon, my name is Alex Gambell from Lebanon County. 1362 01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:52.279 I first want to thank you sincerely for what you're doing. 1363 01:24:52.800 --> 01:24:57.800 I think you're an American patriot.

And like sometimes 1367 01:25:04.359 --> 01:25:06.960 people say, like, that's just jinguistic propaganda. I'm like, I 1368 01:25:07.000 --> 01:25:12.520 don't care. I love the jinguistic propaganda. It's awesome. You know, 1369 01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:17.479 It's like, God bless America. I've freakin it's it's it's amazing. 1370 01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:22.479 Yeah, I agree. Yeah with the recent news from Lancaster 1371 01:25:22.840 --> 01:25:28.800 County discovering twenty five hundred potentially fraudulent other registration forms. 1372 01:25:30.279 --> 01:25:33.760 What's your opinion or mail in ballots and if we 1373 01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:35.880 should get rid of them in the future. 1374 01:25:37.039 --> 01:25:38.960 I also, I also want to get rid of them 1375 01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:41.840 in the future. I mean, like mail in ballots are 1376 01:25:42.000 --> 01:25:46.920 a strange normally that got popularized during COVID, but but really, 1377 01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:51.920 but like you have an obvious recipe for fraud and 1378 01:25:52.079 --> 01:25:55.079 and and an inability to prove fraud if you've got 1379 01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:58.039 no ID, no gooter ID, and you've got mail in ballots, 1380 01:25:58.720 --> 01:26:01.399 like you can't even put your and even like like 1381 01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:04.119 like like many years ago, a friend of mine was 1382 01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:08.399 telling me how his his dad actually helped improve democracy 1383 01:26:08.479 --> 01:26:11.760 in Mexico, and it was by organizing a whole bunch 1384 01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:15.960 of citizens to just stand outside the falling stations of 1385 01:26:16.159 --> 01:26:19.560 the voting stations with a counter, just to count the 1386 01:26:19.640 --> 01:26:21.880 number of people that went in, because obviously if you 1387 01:26:21.960 --> 01:26:25.680 have more votes than people, something's wrong. Yeah, And and 1388 01:26:25.800 --> 01:26:27.680 it turned out they had a lot more votes than people. 1389 01:26:27.680 --> 01:26:31.399 They're like, oh, this is a little strange. So anyway, 1390 01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:33.600 that that but that that actually helped fix the situation 1391 01:26:33.720 --> 01:26:34.600 in Mexico big time. 1392 01:26:35.600 --> 01:26:35.680 Ye. 1393 01:26:35.800 --> 01:26:37.840 But but but if you don't, if you've got mail 1394 01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:41.760 in ballots, you can't count this, like you don't even 1395 01:26:41.800 --> 01:26:45.239 know what's going on. I also wanted to uh ask 1396 01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:50.920 you a favor. My my son is named Elon. 1397 01:26:51.359 --> 01:26:52.880 Really we named them after you. 1398 01:26:53.159 --> 01:26:54.600 Wow, he's three. 1399 01:26:55.880 --> 01:26:58.600 You're an inspiration and I was hoping to get an 1400 01:26:58.680 --> 01:27:01.039 all the graph from you to give to him when 1401 01:27:01.079 --> 01:27:01.640 he's older. 1402 01:27:02.399 --> 01:27:03.199 The further, I. 1403 01:27:03.239 --> 01:27:04.039 Can't say no to that. 1404 01:27:08.039 --> 01:27:09.479 I mean, from one Elon to another. 1405 01:27:09.800 --> 01:27:09.960 You know. 1406 01:27:11.520 --> 01:27:13.880 Actually, you know I was actually I was named after 1407 01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:19.079 my American great grandfather. I guess it's so I'm like 1408 01:27:19.199 --> 01:27:21.880 kind of the opposite of Obama. I'm from Africa, named 1409 01:27:21.880 --> 01:27:29.279 after named after an American. So but yeah, Johnny Alon 1410 01:27:29.319 --> 01:27:32.399 Haldeman was my great grandfather, and that's I was named 1411 01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:34.960 after his middle name, So I think it was like 1412 01:27:35.079 --> 01:27:35.720 from Minnesota. 1413 01:27:35.760 --> 01:27:36.079 I believe. 1414 01:27:37.199 --> 01:27:44.800 Yeah, Hey, elon, Yeah, my name is Jennifer Lucas.

I'm voting legally, I promise. 1417 01:27:52.079 --> 01:27:52.279 Sure. 1418 01:27:52.319 --> 01:27:57.359 I believe I'm from southern West Virginia. Okay, And honestly, 1419 01:27:57.479 --> 01:28:00.479 I've had a lot of questions on my mind, from 1420 01:28:00.680 --> 01:28:08.520 education to drug epidemic. It's hit really hard. But one 1421 01:28:08.600 --> 01:28:10.720 thing that I would really like to ask you about 1422 01:28:10.800 --> 01:28:12.359 right now is lobbyists. 1423 01:28:13.159 --> 01:28:14.600 If I buy vote, I go to jail. 1424 01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:18.800 They buy votes on the floor, on the voting floor 1425 01:28:18.840 --> 01:28:24.079 in DC, and that's okay. That is affecting our voice 1426 01:28:24.319 --> 01:28:29.439 as American citizens. So what can we do to ban 1427 01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:33.920 lobbyists in DC so we can take our power back? 1428 01:28:41.119 --> 01:28:47.920 A pac America pack? Yeah, I mean, you know, so, 1429 01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:50.439 I was actually part of making a movie cold, thank 1430 01:28:50.479 --> 01:28:51.119 You for Smoking. 1431 01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:52.800 I don't know if anyone has seen. 1432 01:28:52.640 --> 01:28:59.000 That movie, but it's it's a movie about political corruption 1433 01:28:59.880 --> 01:29:04.079 and about lobbyists and political corruption. 1434 01:29:04.880 --> 01:29:07.279 You know, it's worth watching Thank You for Smoking. 1435 01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:16.279 And you know that was I'm actually the pilot in 1436 01:29:16.359 --> 01:29:20.359 the movie in that plane so it's a very small role, 1437 01:29:21.760 --> 01:29:28.640 but that movie explores the the corruption that exists in 1438 01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:31.279 d C due to all the lobbying that takes place, 1439 01:29:31.359 --> 01:29:35.199 and the legislation is primarily written by lobbyists impacted and 1440 01:29:35.319 --> 01:29:39.439 then you know Congress basically Robert stamps the what what lobbyists? 1441 01:29:39.600 --> 01:29:39.760 Right? 1442 01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:44.880 I think I think we probably do need to take 1443 01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:49.359 a look at what rules make sense, because obviously the 1444 01:29:50.840 --> 01:29:56.199 the point of the elected legislators is to legislate in 1445 01:29:56.279 --> 01:29:59.560 the interest of the people. And so if this legislation 1446 01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:03.439 have which is often the case, that is not in 1447 01:30:03.520 --> 01:30:08.720 there of the people, something's wrong. So and you do 1448 01:30:08.840 --> 01:30:13.079 get these like regulatory capture situations where there, you know, 1449 01:30:13.199 --> 01:30:17.680 the companies in an industry end up controlling the regulators. 1450 01:30:18.680 --> 01:30:21.760 And preventing new entrants. 1451 01:30:21.479 --> 01:30:24.640 From from coming into a market, making it difficult for 1452 01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:25.720 new companies to come in. 1453 01:30:28.119 --> 01:30:28.479 Anyway. 1454 01:30:29.039 --> 01:30:30.680 You know, I wanted to make that movie for a reason, 1455 01:30:31.039 --> 01:30:34.640 which is too highlight that there is a lot of 1456 01:30:34.680 --> 01:30:37.079 corruption in in d C. 1457 01:30:37.279 --> 01:30:40.640 And I would like to have less of it at least. 1458 01:30:45.439 --> 01:30:47.520 It's it's tough. And you know, this is also why 1459 01:30:47.600 --> 01:30:51.560 I think the the big government machine is so against 1460 01:30:52.039 --> 01:30:55.119 Trump because he doesn't. He's not beholden to all of 1461 01:30:55.199 --> 01:31:00.800 these interests, you know, So he's not he's not capture. Essentially, 1462 01:31:01.199 --> 01:31:05.680 he's not a puppet. So the sort of the big 1463 01:31:05.720 --> 01:31:10.520 government machine is very worried about electing someone who's who's 1464 01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:18.000 not a puppet. So yeah, I mean, I certainly advocate 1465 01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:22.319 for you know, better rules that limit the power of 1466 01:31:22.399 --> 01:31:23.960 companies to lobby in d C. 1467 01:31:25.840 --> 01:31:32.520 Or at the state level for that matter. Yeah, I mean, 1468 01:31:33.359 --> 01:31:33.640 like I. 1469 01:31:35.960 --> 01:31:38.520 For for Mars. Like people sometimes asking me, like, well, 1470 01:31:38.520 --> 01:31:40.720 what kind of system of governments do I think makes 1471 01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:43.560 sense for Mars. I'm like, I said, well, that's gonna 1472 01:31:43.560 --> 01:31:46.960 be up to the Martians, you know. But but but 1473 01:31:48.239 --> 01:31:53.199 I would recommend direct democracy, not representative democracy. 1474 01:31:54.159 --> 01:31:55.520 Where the people vote directly. 1475 01:31:56.880 --> 01:32:00.359 And you know, in the past, before there was electric 1476 01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:02.600 before you had like the internet and electronics, you had 1477 01:32:02.640 --> 01:32:05.119 to have representative democracy because you couldn't. 1478 01:32:05.239 --> 01:32:05.640 You couldn't. 1479 01:32:06.199 --> 01:32:08.319 You had to just like with the legacy media, you 1480 01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:12.960 had to collect people's opinion by mail or literally by 1481 01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:17.840 voice or by letters written with a quill on you 1482 01:32:17.920 --> 01:32:21.000 know and a scroll type of thing, you know, like slow, 1483 01:32:22.199 --> 01:32:24.680 So you had to have representative democracy. You couldn't have 1484 01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:28.159 direct democracy. But my recommendation for mars would be that 1485 01:32:28.279 --> 01:32:31.279 the people vote directly for anything, and that any given 1486 01:32:31.319 --> 01:32:34.640 piece of legislation must be short enough to understand. So 1487 01:32:35.039 --> 01:32:38.840 like if it's you know, not more than a thousand words, 1488 01:32:38.920 --> 01:32:42.079 maybe three hundred, the longer the legislation is the worst 1489 01:32:42.079 --> 01:32:44.640 it gets. And we've got legislation that's longer than Lord 1490 01:32:44.640 --> 01:32:47.119 of the Rings, and like nobody's read it, you know, 1491 01:32:48.079 --> 01:32:49.239 and really quick. 1492 01:32:49.359 --> 01:32:51.840 I just wanted to say thank you for everything that 1493 01:32:51.880 --> 01:32:55.199 you're doing. I see you, and I see your heart, 1494 01:32:55.520 --> 01:32:58.000 and I know that you love humanity, not just America. 1495 01:32:58.199 --> 01:33:01.319 I do everything that you do. It shows you care 1496 01:33:01.399 --> 01:33:03.720 for everyone deeply. Thank you for that. 1497 01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:04.960 I agree. 1498 01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:10.600 I have a lot of ideas and if you want. 1499 01:33:10.439 --> 01:33:12.680 To hear them sometime we can sit down for dinner. 1500 01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:15.239 Thank you. 1501 01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:20.720 All right, Hello, Elon. My name is Stephen Marsha, so 1502 01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:22.319 I live in Lancaster County. It's nice to meet you. 1503 01:33:23.399 --> 01:33:27.119 You once said in a job interview that when when 1504 01:33:27.159 --> 01:33:30.279 asked what is your biggest weakness, you said honesty, which 1505 01:33:30.279 --> 01:33:32.239 I find really interesting. And the guy said, well, that's 1506 01:33:32.279 --> 01:33:35.760 not a weakness, and what I find fascinating is the 1507 01:33:35.840 --> 01:33:39.239 way you stand up to anybody and speak your mind. 1508 01:33:39.840 --> 01:33:43.199 And my question is there's a cost of telling the truth. 1509 01:33:43.239 --> 01:33:45.239 There's a cost of being honest, Yes, and you're not 1510 01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:46.000 afraid to pay that. 1511 01:33:46.439 --> 01:33:48.640 Well, hopefully it's not like fatal, you know. 1512 01:33:50.920 --> 01:33:54.279 Yeah, And I think that I'm wondering, like where that 1513 01:33:54.439 --> 01:33:56.479 came from in your life, because you know, you're an 1514 01:33:56.520 --> 01:33:58.159 amazing inspiration with everything I. 1515 01:33:58.159 --> 01:34:02.239 Can, I can totally tell you, so, like it's I mean, 1516 01:34:02.279 --> 01:34:05.159 first of all, you know, like I think, I I 1517 01:34:05.680 --> 01:34:08.199 I aspire to be honest, but I'm also sometimes wrong. 1518 01:34:09.359 --> 01:34:11.840 So obviously you know it can be right all the time. 1519 01:34:12.800 --> 01:34:17.520 So and I do believe in and like you know, 1520 01:34:17.640 --> 01:34:23.439 one should stand to be corrected. And the reason I 1521 01:34:23.560 --> 01:34:25.880 believe in sort of truth and honesty is because I'm 1522 01:34:26.079 --> 01:34:29.359 like I'm trying to understand the universe. I'm trying to 1523 01:34:29.439 --> 01:34:33.399 understand reality. You know, we're trying to understand like what's 1524 01:34:33.399 --> 01:34:34.079 the meaning of life? 1525 01:34:34.159 --> 01:34:36.920 Like what are we here for? Like what's what's going on? 1526 01:34:39.159 --> 01:34:43.880 And if you don't aspired to truth, if you're not 1527 01:34:43.960 --> 01:34:46.279 like rigorous about truth and honesty, then you're obviously going 1528 01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:49.239 to live in a deluded world. You want understand, you 1529 01:34:49.319 --> 01:34:52.479 want understand the nature of reality. You want to understand. 1530 01:34:52.960 --> 01:34:55.359 So I just I'm just curious and I want to 1531 01:34:55.600 --> 01:35:02.800 understand the nature of reality. So that's requires rigorous adherence 1532 01:35:02.880 --> 01:35:03.479 to the truth. 1533 01:35:05.399 --> 01:35:09.560 Also, add thank you. What I find fascinating too is like, 1534 01:35:12.000 --> 01:35:13.359 you know, for you to stand up and speak the 1535 01:35:13.399 --> 01:35:15.760 truth about what you feel about Trump. There's so many 1536 01:35:16.840 --> 01:35:18.479 celebrities on the other side has. 1537 01:35:18.479 --> 01:35:20.960 And yeah, that's weird that there's so many celebrities, you know, 1538 01:35:21.039 --> 01:35:24.399 I'm like, like, what did they what's up with that? 1539 01:35:24.600 --> 01:35:28.039 Yeah, exactly, You're You're the only guy with a serious 1540 01:35:28.079 --> 01:35:30.239 amount of influence that's able to really stand up for Trump. 1541 01:35:30.279 --> 01:35:33.119 And I really think that I know people that are 1542 01:35:33.199 --> 01:35:35.359 like on the fence that are going to Trump because 1543 01:35:35.399 --> 01:35:38.960 of you. So I think, right you are making a 1544 01:35:39.039 --> 01:35:41.920 massive difference in this election, like you single handedly, and 1545 01:35:42.000 --> 01:35:44.840 that's an amazing legacy amongst all the other things that 1546 01:35:44.880 --> 01:35:45.039 you do. 1547 01:35:45.199 --> 01:35:47.800 So thank you. Well, I'm trying. 1548 01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:50.840 I'm trying my best to to you know, I want to. 1549 01:35:51.039 --> 01:35:52.880 I'm trying to make as big a difference as possible. 1550 01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:58.600 And uh yeah, I mean I do think like we're 1551 01:35:58.640 --> 01:36:00.920 at a like I said, folk in the road of 1552 01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:09.119 destiny where you know, like it's yeah, it's not clear 1553 01:36:09.159 --> 01:36:12.479 to me that that that there will be elections after 1554 01:36:12.600 --> 01:36:16.600 this if Trump is not elected, you know, so the 1555 01:36:17.840 --> 01:36:22.640 I mean, there's basically, in my opinion, there's massive voter 1556 01:36:22.800 --> 01:36:26.239 importation to swing states that is happening right now. If 1557 01:36:26.279 --> 01:36:28.239 you look at the actual numbers as reported by the 1558 01:36:28.520 --> 01:36:32.880 Democrat administration, there are triple digit increases in the number 1559 01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:36.079 of illegals in each swing state. It's two d and 1560 01:36:36.119 --> 01:36:39.079 forty percent with the number I sworre in Pennsylvania in three. 1561 01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:41.279 Years and like that. 1562 01:36:41.479 --> 01:36:44.000 That's you know, if the margin of victory is, like 1563 01:36:44.279 --> 01:36:46.640 was eighty thousand votes last time, Well, what happens if 1564 01:36:46.640 --> 01:36:49.680 you bring in like three hundred thousand illegals who are 1565 01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:52.520 beholden to the Democrat machine and get a whole bunch 1566 01:36:52.520 --> 01:36:56.960 of handouts, and even though they may socially not be 1567 01:36:57.079 --> 01:37:01.319 in agreement with the Democrats, their order priority is bringing 1568 01:37:01.359 --> 01:37:03.399 Princeton family into the country, which will be supported by 1569 01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:06.760 the Democrats but not by the Republicans. So its voter 1570 01:37:06.880 --> 01:37:11.800 importation is what's going on. And it doesn't take much 1571 01:37:12.079 --> 01:37:15.399 to have the swing states be a permanent deep blue. 1572 01:37:15.399 --> 01:37:20.119 That's what happened in California. So like, I love Reagan, 1573 01:37:20.159 --> 01:37:22.520 but he did sign in nineteen eighty six an amnesty 1574 01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:25.680 that you know, it's sort of legal alien amnesty. That 1575 01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:30.800 thereafter California, which had been red or a swing state 1576 01:37:31.000 --> 01:37:35.199 but primarily read was, went blue and then deep blue, 1577 01:37:36.199 --> 01:37:40.640 and now California passed the law banning voter ID in 1578 01:37:40.760 --> 01:37:44.840 any election whatsoever, even in a town council. That's what 1579 01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:50.359 they will do to the whole country. They the playbook 1580 01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:53.039 is obvious because we could. 1581 01:37:52.920 --> 01:37:54.239 Just look at what they did California. 1582 01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:57.239 They're going to do the same thing in Pennsylvania, same 1583 01:37:57.319 --> 01:38:00.560 thing the whole rest of the country if they can. 1584 01:38:02.079 --> 01:38:04.399 And Trump is the only chance to have that not 1585 01:38:04.560 --> 01:38:05.039 be the case. 1586 01:38:14.319 --> 01:38:15.920 And I'll tell you it's I'll tell you it's even 1587 01:38:15.960 --> 01:38:19.039 it's people like I think it's gonna be worse than 1588 01:38:19.079 --> 01:38:22.800 California because the one thing that keeps California from being 1589 01:38:22.840 --> 01:38:25.479 even more crazy than it currently is is that people 1590 01:38:25.520 --> 01:38:27.840 can move to other states and still be in America. 1591 01:38:28.680 --> 01:38:30.520 But what if you can't move to any other states, 1592 01:38:31.399 --> 01:38:36.479 it's going to be way worse in California. So it's profound. 1593 01:38:40.319 --> 01:38:40.680 Yankee. 1594 01:38:43.880 --> 01:38:48.119 Well sorry, okay, listen, I like the name. Okay, it's 1595 01:38:48.159 --> 01:38:57.600 a great name. Sorry, sorry, sorry, what have I done? 1596 01:39:00.439 --> 01:39:01.000 Hiylan? 1597 01:39:01.399 --> 01:39:04.239 My name is David and I am an founder of 1598 01:39:04.239 --> 01:39:09.479 an e commerce company here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. And I 1599 01:39:09.640 --> 01:39:12.159 appreciate the one thing that you're saying about the I 1600 01:39:12.319 --> 01:39:18.439 R S being bullying amid the American citizens. Instead of 1601 01:39:19.319 --> 01:39:23.880 enforcing our border, we're doing that. And I found one 1602 01:39:24.319 --> 01:39:27.880 problem being a business owner is I have been the 1603 01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:33.399 subject of recent harassment by the I R S and 1604 01:39:34.319 --> 01:39:39.880 I find that being a huge discouragement to entrepreneurship, which 1605 01:39:40.159 --> 01:39:45.239 is the American backbone. And I wanted to know what 1606 01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:48.159 you would be one of the number one things you 1607 01:39:48.199 --> 01:39:53.600 would recommend to the Trump administration about encouraging entrepreneurship and 1608 01:39:53.760 --> 01:39:59.720 getting young people, especially encouraged into starting small businesses to 1609 01:40:00.119 --> 01:40:05.960 keep our economy economy flourishing, and to keep creating wonderful 1610 01:40:06.039 --> 01:40:07.079 things like you have done. 1611 01:40:07.960 --> 01:40:13.520 Yeah, well, I mean said, it's really I think, you know, 1612 01:40:13.960 --> 01:40:16.159 if we can just get the government off people's backs, 1613 01:40:17.880 --> 01:40:20.720 then you can you can get a tremendous amount done. 1614 01:40:21.359 --> 01:40:25.399 And you know, it's like just we're over regulating six 1615 01:40:25.479 --> 01:40:28.359 ways of Sunday as you've experienced yourself. And then even 1616 01:40:28.399 --> 01:40:30.119 when there's like a little bit of success, then the 1617 01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:31.680 government comes along and takes the money. 1618 01:40:32.279 --> 01:40:33.439 So it's crazy. 1619 01:40:34.199 --> 01:40:37.439 You know. So just when when if the founders of 1620 01:40:37.520 --> 01:40:39.920 the country could see like where we are now, they'd 1621 01:40:40.359 --> 01:40:43.439 blow their mind, you know, Like there was a revolt 1622 01:40:43.479 --> 01:40:45.079 against the British. I think it was like a two 1623 01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:48.520 percent tax on tea, like say a three percent tax 1624 01:40:48.600 --> 01:40:51.920 on tea of like they're like no way, and now 1625 01:40:51.960 --> 01:40:54.199 it's like, you know, forty percent. I mean, it's just 1626 01:40:54.279 --> 01:40:57.119 like there's new taxes every day, and there's a lot 1627 01:40:57.119 --> 01:40:59.279 of hidden taxes that you experience as a as a 1628 01:40:59.319 --> 01:41:02.399 small business own that people don't even realize exist. You know, 1629 01:41:02.479 --> 01:41:04.319 you did sort of come to realize that because IRS 1630 01:41:04.439 --> 01:41:06.880 comes after you. But there's a ton of taxes that 1631 01:41:06.960 --> 01:41:08.920 try to sort of mask from the consumers. 1632 01:41:09.600 --> 01:41:11.560 So we just need smaller government. 1633 01:41:12.079 --> 01:41:15.560 And allow people to produce useful goods and services for 1634 01:41:15.600 --> 01:41:16.560 their fairly human beings. 1635 01:41:17.720 --> 01:41:18.640 Yeah, it's straightforward. 1636 01:41:23.840 --> 01:41:26.279 Hi Elon, my name is Will King. It's nice to 1637 01:41:26.319 --> 01:41:26.560 meet you. 1638 01:41:26.640 --> 01:41:27.399 Welcome to Lancaster. 1639 01:41:27.560 --> 01:41:27.800 Thank you. 1640 01:41:28.520 --> 01:41:31.119 I'm a young mechanical engineer. I'm excited to work on 1641 01:41:31.399 --> 01:41:33.000 new problems. One of my dreams would be to work 1642 01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:35.079 for one of your companies, So we'll see where that goes. 1643 01:41:35.159 --> 01:41:37.560 But the question I have is what are your thoughts 1644 01:41:37.640 --> 01:41:41.119 on tariffs and how do you see tariffs impacting consumer 1645 01:41:41.159 --> 01:41:44.760 spending or increasing inflation? And what problems to be solved 1646 01:41:44.880 --> 01:41:47.680 for US production to reach a scale and efficiency that 1647 01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:51.119 would match current outsource production. Like obviously it's it's no 1648 01:41:51.359 --> 01:41:54.039 first principle it's not a first principal principles problem. 1649 01:41:54.479 --> 01:41:56.520 We can do it, but what needs to happen in 1650 01:41:56.640 --> 01:41:57.159 order for that to. 1651 01:41:58.880 --> 01:42:01.199 Well, what are your thoughts on the subject? 1652 01:42:03.680 --> 01:42:06.159 So I think what you were, what you were touching 1653 01:42:06.199 --> 01:42:11.800 on before, a lot of government uh regulation and uh taxes, 1654 01:42:11.880 --> 01:42:14.520 well taxes, you know, I don't know where we need 1655 01:42:14.600 --> 01:42:17.159 to go with that, but I think, uh, I love 1656 01:42:17.279 --> 01:42:22.600 your philosophy of surges in the employment and going hardcore. 1657 01:42:23.840 --> 01:42:24.000 You know. 1658 01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:28.520 I was reading your autobiography, the other biography biography, Yeah, yeah, 1659 01:42:28.640 --> 01:42:31.479 be clear, it's it's it's a pretty good biography, but 1660 01:42:31.560 --> 01:42:33.920 it's not it's not actually what I would have written, right, 1661 01:42:34.199 --> 01:42:37.039 But what really stopped to me I was reading about 1662 01:42:37.199 --> 01:42:40.800 how you wanted to move the servers from Twitter up 1663 01:42:40.880 --> 01:42:43.319 to is it an organ And well. 1664 01:42:43.520 --> 01:42:46.279 Yeah, actually there was yeah, there were three data centers, 1665 01:42:46.319 --> 01:42:48.039 but only two were needed. 1666 01:42:49.119 --> 01:42:51.439 And uh, I was being told it would take like 1667 01:42:51.520 --> 01:42:52.800 nine months to write. 1668 01:42:52.720 --> 01:42:54.720 And you showed up with your guys and you're like, hey, 1669 01:42:54.800 --> 01:42:55.520 let's just do this over. 1670 01:42:55.479 --> 01:42:58.199 Night like Christmas. So I think, yeah, we'll see if Yeah. 1671 01:42:58.239 --> 01:43:01.199 Cutting cutting down some of those regulations and all this 1672 01:43:01.319 --> 01:43:05.560 crazy stuff that goes that extends the timeline for a 1673 01:43:05.600 --> 01:43:08.439 bunch of stuff would really would really help, and that 1674 01:43:08.600 --> 01:43:11.439 that worth worth ethic, work ethic. I agree with your 1675 01:43:11.520 --> 01:43:14.520 eighty hour work principal work week principle and the hardcore. 1676 01:43:14.840 --> 01:43:15.560 It's not for everyone. 1677 01:43:15.920 --> 01:43:17.079 It's not for everyone, but I think. 1678 01:43:17.159 --> 01:43:21.039 The principle is really cool, and I think we should 1679 01:43:21.079 --> 01:43:23.399 bring that culture and that mindset down of the forty. 1680 01:43:23.239 --> 01:43:24.279 Hour work week or the fifty. 1681 01:43:24.359 --> 01:43:27.279 I do fifty, but you know, work life balance potentially. 1682 01:43:27.359 --> 01:43:30.319 But I love where you're taking your companies and it's 1683 01:43:30.399 --> 01:43:31.239 it's really cool to see. 1684 01:43:31.560 --> 01:43:39.319 Well, thanks, thank you, Yeah, go ahead, Hello Elan, nice 1685 01:43:39.359 --> 01:43:42.439 to see you here tonight. So recently I was reading 1686 01:43:42.439 --> 01:43:47.079 an article on medium where a Italian researcher named Andrea 1687 01:43:47.479 --> 01:43:51.079 Rossi was able to demonstrate a new technology that he 1688 01:43:51.239 --> 01:43:54.520 invented that was able to extend the range. 1689 01:43:54.279 --> 01:43:55.239 Of an electric vehicle. 1690 01:43:55.319 --> 01:43:58.239 It was a technically like a quadricycle, so a very 1691 01:43:58.279 --> 01:44:02.239 low power electric vehicle by four times, and after the 1692 01:44:02.960 --> 01:44:05.800 full test that it actually increased the battery life of 1693 01:44:06.000 --> 01:44:09.600 the electric vehicle. And obviously, you know, we don't it's 1694 01:44:09.640 --> 01:44:11.880 only been demonstrated once. We don't know if this technology 1695 01:44:11.920 --> 01:44:14.640 could be replicated. But if it was able to be replicated, 1696 01:44:14.800 --> 01:44:16.960 would you be interested in implementing this kind of technology 1697 01:44:17.000 --> 01:44:19.319 into your TESTA vehicles and even possibly the starship? 1698 01:44:20.520 --> 01:44:25.479 Well, I wish such a thing were real, but I 1699 01:44:25.560 --> 01:44:28.439 do not think that such a thing as real. That 1700 01:44:28.760 --> 01:44:32.640 there is you know, every industry has a certain amount 1701 01:44:32.680 --> 01:44:38.000 of BS, but the battery industry, I think might is 1702 01:44:38.039 --> 01:44:40.479 a candidate for industry with the most amount of BS. 1703 01:44:42.600 --> 01:44:46.560 So it's it's just there's like electric chemistry is very difficult. 1704 01:44:46.640 --> 01:44:48.920 In fact, one of the ways that I will test 1705 01:44:49.079 --> 01:44:51.920 like the intelligence of an AI system is ask a 1706 01:44:52.039 --> 01:44:55.560 battery electroc chemistry questions and rocket questions and usually comes 1707 01:44:55.600 --> 01:45:01.239 back with terrible answers. So it's it's it's it's extremely 1708 01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:04.600 difficult to increase the range, but the range is already 1709 01:45:04.760 --> 01:45:09.880 sufficient to fully electrify everything on Earth. So you know, 1710 01:45:10.000 --> 01:45:12.079 tails us have over three hundred miles of range, and 1711 01:45:12.199 --> 01:45:13.960 some of them have like four hundred miles of range. 1712 01:45:14.239 --> 01:45:16.479 We could actually make it go further. It's just that 1713 01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:19.600 that's like an unnecessary amount of battery for most people 1714 01:45:21.199 --> 01:45:23.239 because the amount of the amount of range that you 1715 01:45:23.319 --> 01:45:25.840 need in a battery is about the same amount of 1716 01:45:25.920 --> 01:45:30.720 range that your bladder has. Essentially, So if you know, 1717 01:45:30.760 --> 01:45:33.520 if you start a trip at say nine am, around noon, 1718 01:45:33.960 --> 01:45:37.119 you want to probably hit the restroom, take a break, 1719 01:45:37.800 --> 01:45:41.880 you know, have a bite to eat, and you know, 1720 01:45:41.960 --> 01:45:43.920 so you drive for three hours, maybe four hours, and 1721 01:45:43.960 --> 01:45:44.760 then charge the car. 1722 01:45:45.079 --> 01:45:46.479 As long as the car is charged. 1723 01:45:46.279 --> 01:45:48.119 By the time you come back from the bathroom and 1724 01:45:48.640 --> 01:45:51.399 have you know, had lunch or whatever. Then at long 1725 01:45:51.439 --> 01:45:53.760 distance trips are no problems that we're already we're already 1726 01:45:53.800 --> 01:45:54.880 there at this point. 1727 01:45:56.279 --> 01:46:01.600 So yeah, but but there is no magical breakthrough. 1728 01:46:04.079 --> 01:46:04.880 Would you also be. 1729 01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:08.479 Willing if other technologies are discovered over the next few 1730 01:46:08.560 --> 01:46:11.000 years into the near future, would you also be willing 1731 01:46:11.039 --> 01:46:16.159 to that theoretically could revolutionize electrical vehicles, space travel. You know, 1732 01:46:16.279 --> 01:46:20.199 exotic propulsion, exotic energy generation techniques. Are you interested in 1733 01:46:20.439 --> 01:46:23.479 researching those and potentially funding them and contributing to this 1734 01:46:23.600 --> 01:46:26.000 kind of research. I do think there is a lot 1735 01:46:26.159 --> 01:46:29.640 of technology out there that is not really mainstream that 1736 01:46:29.760 --> 01:46:32.399 it has potential, although it's in a very infantile stage. 1737 01:46:32.439 --> 01:46:36.199 I think there is potential. I mean not only I 1738 01:46:36.279 --> 01:46:40.720 mean I'm both Tales and SpaceX are desperately interested in 1739 01:46:40.920 --> 01:46:47.479 anything that works. We're not like barring the door. We're like, please, 1740 01:46:48.039 --> 01:46:51.920 if you've got something that works, tell us about it. Unfortunately, 1741 01:46:52.399 --> 01:46:55.960 it's rarely the case that it actually works, is the issue. 1742 01:46:57.239 --> 01:47:00.640 So you know, for a while there, Tesla, I guess 1743 01:47:00.880 --> 01:47:03.560 maybe still do like we're just would rate any given 1744 01:47:03.840 --> 01:47:07.039 you know, proposed new technology out of ten, where ten 1745 01:47:07.199 --> 01:47:13.359 is is incredible and you know one is total total nonsense, 1746 01:47:13.960 --> 01:47:17.880 and really nothing got above a four. So it's it's 1747 01:47:17.960 --> 01:47:21.920 just very difficult to do. But if if and I 1748 01:47:21.960 --> 01:47:25.399 would encourage anyone to say, prove me wrong, please do that. 1749 01:47:27.039 --> 01:47:29.079 I would like to be proven wrong. That would be awesome. 1750 01:47:29.520 --> 01:47:35.039 Uh yeah, but just just compete with Tesla. That sounds 1751 01:47:35.079 --> 01:47:38.560 like you're great. If you know, if there's a some 1752 01:47:38.840 --> 01:47:41.520 technology that has much greater range, I would strongly recommend 1753 01:47:41.560 --> 01:47:42.720 they just kick our ass. 1754 01:47:42.840 --> 01:47:50.840 You know, Yeah, Elon, Do you believe that Jesus the 1755 01:47:50.960 --> 01:47:54.560 Christ is a real person who was crucified and died 1756 01:47:54.960 --> 01:47:56.960 and has risen and that God is Jesus. 1757 01:48:05.520 --> 01:48:08.359 What do you mean by a real person that he. 1758 01:48:08.680 --> 01:48:10.720 Was alive back two thousand years ago and he was 1759 01:48:10.760 --> 01:48:11.720 the guy who was crucified? 1760 01:48:11.840 --> 01:48:12.680 Okay, cool, Yeah, no, I. 1761 01:48:12.680 --> 01:48:19.880 Think there's yeah, I do think that's that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1762 01:48:22.920 --> 01:48:26.399 I mean you get into like these you know, uh, 1763 01:48:27.520 --> 01:48:30.680 theocratical debates of the Trinity, and but I thought, you know, 1764 01:48:31.000 --> 01:48:32.359 but yeah, yeah, I think it's real. 1765 01:48:32.680 --> 01:48:38.520 Sou by Elon. That feels very weird to say. But Hi, 1766 01:48:39.079 --> 01:48:42.560 my name is Chris Michaelson. I'm a Lancaster County resident. 1767 01:48:42.680 --> 01:48:43.960 We're really happy to have you here. 1768 01:48:45.000 --> 01:48:45.680 Thank you everybody. 1769 01:48:46.840 --> 01:48:50.800 Look, I, like many of us here, feel that the 1770 01:48:51.079 --> 01:48:54.680 very construct, the constitution of our country is at stake 1771 01:48:54.760 --> 01:48:58.119 during this election. I'm a firm believer that those who 1772 01:48:58.279 --> 01:49:01.039 can should and I just want to say thank you 1773 01:49:01.199 --> 01:49:04.640 for being one of the very few powerful members outside 1774 01:49:04.680 --> 01:49:06.880 of the Construct who have the balls to stand up 1775 01:49:06.920 --> 01:49:07.479 here every. 1776 01:49:07.319 --> 01:49:09.600 Day and do what you're doing. Big dude, thank you. 1777 01:49:16.399 --> 01:49:21.920 Thanks. All right, there's a macho man's here. 1778 01:49:22.960 --> 01:49:25.840 Look, President Trump has announced you or has announced that 1779 01:49:25.880 --> 01:49:27.399 he will appoint you as the. 1780 01:49:27.479 --> 01:49:29.000 Head of the Efficiency Commission. 1781 01:49:29.119 --> 01:49:31.880 Right, that's obviously a perfect spot for you, given your 1782 01:49:32.119 --> 01:49:36.359 historical success running lean and exceptionally profitable businesses. One of 1783 01:49:36.439 --> 01:49:39.600 my big concerns that extends beyond the disarray of our 1784 01:49:39.800 --> 01:49:44.960 financial constitution here is the technology attacks that have happened 1785 01:49:44.960 --> 01:49:49.439 in our country. Twenty twenty one, the Colonial pipeline ransomware attack. Yeah, 1786 01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:52.720 twenty twenty one, robin Hood seven million users, data stolen, 1787 01:49:52.760 --> 01:49:55.760 their money held for ransom. Twenty twenty three, T Mobile 1788 01:49:55.800 --> 01:50:01.199 goes down overnight, airport attacks, airline attacks. Have you spoken 1789 01:50:01.279 --> 01:50:04.800 to Trump at all regarding your expertise around cybersecurity? Are 1790 01:50:04.840 --> 01:50:07.359 you going to have any involvement there? If not, do 1791 01:50:07.439 --> 01:50:09.640 you know who is and do you trust them? And 1792 01:50:09.640 --> 01:50:11.600 I have one more question, Well, I. 1793 01:50:11.880 --> 01:50:15.000 Definitely, I certainly don't have all the answers here, and 1794 01:50:15.439 --> 01:50:17.800 I don't I don't want to tempt fate. But like 1795 01:50:17.960 --> 01:50:22.399 nobody has successfully hacked SpaceX or starlink, and they've been 1796 01:50:22.760 --> 01:50:26.520 every day, there are thousands of attempts to hack starlink 1797 01:50:26.560 --> 01:50:27.600 and no one has succeeded. 1798 01:50:28.760 --> 01:50:30.159 Again, I don't want to tempt fate here. 1799 01:50:30.439 --> 01:50:33.399 So this is not a tempt saying to hacker groups 1800 01:50:33.439 --> 01:50:36.760 out there, please hack starlink, like please don't hack starlink. 1801 01:50:37.520 --> 01:50:41.199 But but thus far there have been many attempts by 1802 01:50:41.920 --> 01:50:45.720 individuals and state actors to hack into starlink and none 1803 01:50:45.720 --> 01:50:48.720 of them have been successful. So track recle it thus 1804 01:50:48.760 --> 01:50:53.800 far is pretty good. No one has successfully hacked into Yeah, 1805 01:50:53.920 --> 01:50:56.039 so far, so good. You know, don't want to be 1806 01:50:56.119 --> 01:51:00.600 complacent or anything. No one has hacked into the tel mothership, 1807 01:51:00.840 --> 01:51:04.359 like the the Tesla Core database. Many people have tried 1808 01:51:04.399 --> 01:51:09.000 to hack into the tel Core database, zero successes. Yeah, 1809 01:51:09.199 --> 01:51:14.680 I can certainly say like, now, government computers are not 1810 01:51:14.920 --> 01:51:21.079 super secure because it's the government, you know. So it's 1811 01:51:21.119 --> 01:51:23.279 like if you say, like, what is an easy thing 1812 01:51:23.359 --> 01:51:25.880 to hack? As the government computers are easy thing to hack. 1813 01:51:27.640 --> 01:51:29.119 So it's not good. No, I agree. 1814 01:51:29.920 --> 01:51:33.119 That's why I like, I'm you know, I'm like, as 1815 01:51:33.159 --> 01:51:36.439 a hardcore technology guy, I'm saying we should not have 1816 01:51:36.560 --> 01:51:39.079 voting machines, we should not have computers. 1817 01:51:40.119 --> 01:51:40.800 Because that are two. 1818 01:51:40.720 --> 01:51:44.239 Subject being hacked by by and it's like the subject 1819 01:51:44.279 --> 01:51:48.560 is being hacked by, you know, and the people protecting 1820 01:51:48.640 --> 01:51:53.159 these machines don't understand technology, and they could easily be bamboozled. 1821 01:51:53.399 --> 01:51:56.600 So even with the best of intentions. So but it's 1822 01:51:56.640 --> 01:52:01.439 really hard to bamboozle paper ballots person with ID, which 1823 01:52:01.479 --> 01:52:04.920 is obviously how it should be. Yeah. 1824 01:52:05.039 --> 01:52:08.000 We we've talked about baseball a couple of times. Tonight, 1825 01:52:08.399 --> 01:52:09.960 my brother's handicapped. Ryan. 1826 01:52:10.199 --> 01:52:10.600 I love you. 1827 01:52:10.680 --> 01:52:12.720 I'm sorry that you couldn't be here tonight. He's a 1828 01:52:12.800 --> 01:52:15.279 White Sox fan and he just wants to know if 1829 01:52:15.319 --> 01:52:17.279 you would consider buying them and turning them to a 1830 01:52:17.359 --> 01:52:18.119 reputable business. 1831 01:52:18.319 --> 01:52:18.600 Thank you. 1832 01:52:20.199 --> 01:52:25.199 But I'm in technology guys, so I'm just you know, 1833 01:52:25.399 --> 01:52:29.720 I got to pick my battles here, so I'm just 1834 01:52:30.000 --> 01:52:32.800 I just try to make technologies that you will find useful. 1835 01:52:34.359 --> 01:52:34.640 Thank you. 1836 01:52:35.880 --> 01:52:40.199 All right, Hi Eli, my name is Vladimir. I'm an 1837 01:52:40.279 --> 01:52:43.079 entrepreneur from Reading, Pennsylvania. I came all the way here 1838 01:52:43.159 --> 01:52:45.039 to see you because I'm not sure if you're going 1839 01:52:45.119 --> 01:52:46.399 to make it to read in Pennsylvania. 1840 01:52:46.439 --> 01:52:47.000 I couldn't wait. 1841 01:52:47.840 --> 01:52:50.199 Thank you so much for your contributions to the world. 1842 01:52:50.439 --> 01:52:55.720 Thank you for Tesla Neurallink, SpaceX X. Everything that you're 1843 01:52:55.760 --> 01:52:57.880 doing is incredible, and thank you for stepping up with 1844 01:52:57.960 --> 01:53:01.119 your leadership to once again how to take our country back. 1845 01:53:02.159 --> 01:53:07.840 It's my question to you, is regarding artificial intelligence probably 1846 01:53:07.880 --> 01:53:11.680 our greatest invention, hopefully not or last invention you were 1847 01:53:11.720 --> 01:53:17.239 really on the you were really advocating for basically regulating 1848 01:53:17.880 --> 01:53:21.399 the advances that we're making on artificial intelligence. How long 1849 01:53:21.479 --> 01:53:24.159 do you think it would be before we actually reach 1850 01:53:24.319 --> 01:53:30.439 AGI or artificial general intelligence and artificial super intelligence? And 1851 01:53:30.560 --> 01:53:34.560 are you still up for regulating this amazing invention that 1852 01:53:34.720 --> 01:53:35.800 we've summoned here? 1853 01:53:38.600 --> 01:53:41.039 Yes, I mean I do think there should be some 1854 01:53:41.159 --> 01:53:48.359 regulatory oversight for AI. So yeah, I mean it's it's 1855 01:53:48.560 --> 01:53:50.880 kind of your regulators is kind of like the referees 1856 01:53:51.000 --> 01:53:56.159 in a sports game. You know, whether it's baseball, basketball, anything, 1857 01:53:56.159 --> 01:54:00.439 any given sport. Uh, all the teams want to have 1858 01:54:01.000 --> 01:54:04.399 referees so that you know, the teams don't break the 1859 01:54:04.520 --> 01:54:05.800 rules and there's fair play. 1860 01:54:06.439 --> 01:54:08.880 So I think there there is a sort of a 1861 01:54:09.000 --> 01:54:10.760 right number of regulators. 1862 01:54:10.279 --> 01:54:13.359 For any given industry, but there shouldn't be There shouldn't 1863 01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:15.439 be too many or too few. Now there's basically no 1864 01:54:15.560 --> 01:54:17.960 regulators in AI right now. So it's like having a 1865 01:54:18.039 --> 01:54:21.680 game with no referees. That's that's you know, subject to 1866 01:54:22.079 --> 01:54:26.520 something bad happening. So my recommendation would be to have 1867 01:54:27.439 --> 01:54:30.399 uh yeah, to have an AI regulatory agency at the 1868 01:54:30.399 --> 01:54:36.159 federal level. It should be you know, not not heavy handed. 1869 01:54:36.239 --> 01:54:40.520 It should be, but there shouldn't be nothing. In contrast 1870 01:54:41.319 --> 01:54:45.000 in other industries where where there's excess regulation because these 1871 01:54:45.039 --> 01:54:48.079 regulatory agencies are just sort of grown over time to 1872 01:54:48.199 --> 01:54:50.359 the point where there are too many referees on the field. 1873 01:54:50.399 --> 01:54:51.960 I think the sports analogy makes. 1874 01:54:51.760 --> 01:54:53.960 A lot of sense, like you want to have enough 1875 01:54:54.039 --> 01:54:56.880 referees to have a fair game, but not so many 1876 01:54:57.000 --> 01:55:00.439 referees that people can't can't throw a pass on the 1877 01:55:00.479 --> 01:55:02.119 football field without hitting. 1878 01:55:01.880 --> 01:55:03.479 A ref you know. 1879 01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:07.159 That's that's the situation we got right now. It's like 1880 01:55:07.640 --> 01:55:10.000 you're trying to run downfield bam, you're just rub bumping 1881 01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:14.680 into the refs everywhere. So that's that, you know, we've 1882 01:55:14.680 --> 01:55:16.079 got to take some correct action there. 1883 01:55:18.000 --> 01:55:18.800 So thank you. 1884 01:55:22.720 --> 01:55:25.199 All right, Elon Musk, it's a pleasure to meet you. 1885 01:55:26.800 --> 01:55:28.960 This should be sponsored by doctor Schulz. I don't know 1886 01:55:29.000 --> 01:55:32.000 how your few are doing it right now. I just 1887 01:55:32.079 --> 01:55:34.000 want to say thank you for being here tonight. 1888 01:55:34.079 --> 01:55:35.159 It's an honor to be here with you. 1889 01:55:35.359 --> 01:55:37.560 I actually have been waiting for almost a decade to 1890 01:55:37.640 --> 01:55:39.800 talk with you and ask you a few questions. All right, 1891 01:55:40.319 --> 01:55:42.319 First one, I want to just break right into business. 1892 01:55:43.279 --> 01:55:45.600 A friend of mine is building the world's brightest light 1893 01:55:45.760 --> 01:55:49.439 in the world, powered completely by renewable and Teslas solar panels, 1894 01:55:49.479 --> 01:55:50.920 and we want to know if you'll turn it on 1895 01:55:51.119 --> 01:55:53.800 for us. It's been cleared, it's in Texas, the FAA 1896 01:55:53.880 --> 01:55:56.159 approved it. Will you turn it on for us? 1897 01:55:57.239 --> 01:55:57.720 Potentially? 1898 01:55:58.319 --> 01:55:58.800 Possibly? 1899 01:55:59.079 --> 01:55:59.319 Okay? 1900 01:55:59.520 --> 01:56:01.159 When you say right us light, like, what do you mean? 1901 01:56:01.279 --> 01:56:04.399 Right than the Luxer? It'll have the International Space Station 1902 01:56:04.560 --> 01:56:06.560 and you can illuminate it at night. 1903 01:56:06.880 --> 01:56:08.920 Okay, yes, yeah, you can light up the. 1904 01:56:08.880 --> 01:56:11.199 Whole Grand Canyon as well. That's what the engineers say. 1905 01:56:11.399 --> 01:56:15.119 Okay, so the hell of a light? Okay, it is sure. 1906 01:56:15.239 --> 01:56:19.880 Test the solar panels too, so okay, great, that sounds good. Secondly, 1907 01:56:20.319 --> 01:56:22.279 we've heard a lot of prayers tonight. I just want 1908 01:56:22.319 --> 01:56:24.479 to say a quick prayer for you and ask everybody 1909 01:56:24.560 --> 01:56:27.119 to join me and just put your hands up and 1910 01:56:27.479 --> 01:56:30.960 let's pray that God protects this man here. He's risking 1911 01:56:31.039 --> 01:56:34.079 his life, his family, and his future for people here 1912 01:56:34.159 --> 01:56:36.159 in a country who he believes in. 1913 01:56:36.560 --> 01:56:38.239 And we believe in you, Elon, and thank you. 1914 01:56:38.600 --> 01:56:40.079 Thank you for everything you're doing, and we ask God 1915 01:56:40.119 --> 01:56:41.920 that he protects you and keeps you safe in your 1916 01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:44.039 journey in protecting us in our country. 1917 01:56:45.560 --> 01:56:45.800 Thank you. 1918 01:56:51.039 --> 01:56:54.399 Okay, So my question, my real question, is you've done 1919 01:56:54.439 --> 01:56:57.079 a ton of things. You've literally enabled mankind to live 1920 01:56:57.119 --> 01:56:58.039 amongst the stars. 1921 01:56:58.479 --> 01:56:59.880 Well, not yet, but we're almost. 1922 01:57:00.039 --> 01:57:02.119 We're getting there, yes, and I can. I want to 1923 01:57:02.199 --> 01:57:03.399 nerd out with you all day on this. 1924 01:57:03.520 --> 01:57:07.560 Yeah, the NASA has been you know, tauted that the 1925 01:57:07.640 --> 01:57:10.279 fuel of the stars is hydrogen. I know, I know, 1926 01:57:10.439 --> 01:57:13.600 before you kill me, you're not a huge fan of hydrogen, 1927 01:57:13.800 --> 01:57:16.439 and I understand it has its flaws, but we do 1928 01:57:16.560 --> 01:57:19.000 have some incredible successes. And my question is for you, 1929 01:57:19.399 --> 01:57:21.000 if I were able to help you and provide you 1930 01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:23.720 with the right people and resources, would you be down 1931 01:57:23.920 --> 01:57:29.039 to basically involve yourself with us and help save our planet. 1932 01:57:30.680 --> 01:57:35.600 Well, I do have seventeen jobs and with the Department 1933 01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:40.239 of Government Efficiency at eighteen, so you know, I have 1934 01:57:40.319 --> 01:57:44.000 to be cautious about taking on additional responsibility because it's 1935 01:57:44.039 --> 01:57:51.199 just physically impossible. But yeah, I mean, the biggest source 1936 01:57:51.239 --> 01:57:54.319 of energy by far is the sun, So nothing even 1937 01:57:54.640 --> 01:57:58.079 comes close to the Sun in terms of energy output. 1938 01:57:58.920 --> 01:58:02.319 The Sun converts before million tons of master energy per second, 1939 01:58:02.800 --> 01:58:04.520 and it's been doing that for a very long time, 1940 01:58:04.640 --> 01:58:07.199 and we'll do that for many, many billions of years 1941 01:58:07.239 --> 01:58:10.479 to come. So one of the ways you can think 1942 01:58:10.520 --> 01:58:13.840 of it, the progress of any given civilization is on 1943 01:58:13.920 --> 01:58:18.039 the Kardashev scale, and so just simple way of thinking 1944 01:58:18.039 --> 01:58:21.880 about it is your Kottashev level one. If you've honessed 1945 01:58:21.880 --> 01:58:25.760 all the power of a planet, you're two. If you've 1946 01:58:25.960 --> 01:58:30.479 honessed all the power of a solar system, and you're three. 1947 01:58:30.680 --> 01:58:33.600 If you've honessed the power of a galaxy. We're very 1948 01:58:33.640 --> 01:58:36.399 far from three, it's safe to say, but even from one. 1949 01:58:38.840 --> 01:58:42.479 So when you think in Kodashev terms, it becomes very 1950 01:58:42.560 --> 01:58:46.359 obvious that the Sun is overwhelmingly the source of energy, 1951 01:58:47.079 --> 01:58:51.399 and everything else is tiny potato, tiny, tiny, tiny potato. 1952 01:58:51.920 --> 01:58:54.359 But hey, well, tiny potatoes wire fine for now. But 1953 01:58:56.199 --> 01:59:00.560 the Sun is overwhelmingly the big potato, the human potato. 1954 01:59:02.399 --> 01:59:05.159 So it's really harnessing the power of the Sun that 1955 01:59:06.359 --> 01:59:07.479 will lead us to the stars. 1956 01:59:12.119 --> 01:59:17.640 Hi hi Elon Dave from Lancaster County. First, thank you 1957 01:59:17.800 --> 01:59:20.680 so much for all the insight this evening and thought 1958 01:59:20.880 --> 01:59:21.960 provoking conversation. 1959 01:59:22.880 --> 01:59:23.560 Two questions. 1960 01:59:23.680 --> 01:59:25.960 One with slightly more than nine days until the election, 1961 01:59:26.520 --> 01:59:30.000 what would you recommends a thirty second pitch to convince 1962 01:59:30.079 --> 01:59:33.159 somebody not to believe what they're seeing on CBS, NBC 1963 01:59:33.680 --> 01:59:34.199 and ABC. 1964 01:59:34.720 --> 01:59:34.840 Oh. 1965 01:59:34.880 --> 01:59:37.600 I've got a great solution for that, which is send 1966 01:59:37.680 --> 01:59:42.039 them links to videos and information on the X platform. 1967 01:59:43.560 --> 01:59:47.159 So if they say that, you know, Trump loves Nazis, 1968 01:59:47.239 --> 01:59:48.079 for example. 1969 01:59:47.880 --> 01:59:50.680 Like well, actually here's the whole speech where he categorically 1970 01:59:50.720 --> 01:59:54.279 condemns Nazis, and yet the Democrats keep claiming that he 1971 01:59:54.439 --> 01:59:58.840 loves Nazis even though he specifically said he condemns in 1972 01:59:58.840 --> 02:00:01.920 the strongest possible terms. Uh, they still perpetuate to find 1973 02:00:01.960 --> 02:00:07.119 people hoax. You know, it's pretty insane. So for any 1974 02:00:07.159 --> 02:00:10.000 given thing that somebody says, well Trump is this all that, 1975 02:00:10.680 --> 02:00:14.319 just send them the actual speech. That's that's the antidote. 1976 02:00:14.880 --> 02:00:17.640 Send them what he actually said, thank you, And then 1977 02:00:17.680 --> 02:00:21.000 the second part X platform actually has that, so you know, 1978 02:00:21.680 --> 02:00:28.079 that's that's the best way. Y. 1979 02:00:32.119 --> 02:00:37.359 Hey, elon, John Scott, your old classmate from U Penn says, Hi, okay, cool, 1980 02:00:38.319 --> 02:00:41.600 thanks for a great earnings call. On Wednesday, welcome. My 1981 02:00:41.720 --> 02:00:45.439 name is Raphael Aziz. I'm a Coptic Orthodox Christian immigrant 1982 02:00:45.439 --> 02:00:49.520 from Alexandria, Egypt. I have lived through religious persecution before, 1983 02:00:49.560 --> 02:00:51.560 and I believe that the liberal and the woke movement 1984 02:00:51.640 --> 02:00:55.399 is a religious persecution today. It is anti Christian and 1985 02:00:55.479 --> 02:00:58.640 quite honestly anti religion. You have posted on x that 1986 02:00:58.840 --> 02:01:00.800 unless there is more bravery to stand up for what 1987 02:01:00.960 --> 02:01:04.720 is fair and right, Christianity will perish. My question to you, 1988 02:01:04.840 --> 02:01:07.840 Elon Musk, is very simple. Will you stand with the 1989 02:01:07.880 --> 02:01:11.800 Coptic Christian community, our brothers and sisters, the Catholic and Christians, 1990 02:01:12.199 --> 02:01:15.199 and the Protestant Evangelicals against the liberal movement that is 1991 02:01:15.279 --> 02:01:18.199 trying to destroy Christianity and religion in America. 1992 02:01:19.920 --> 02:01:24.720 Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm I'm I'm against I'm against 1993 02:01:24.800 --> 02:01:31.439 the work work religion is is fundamentally an extinctionist belief system. 1994 02:01:31.640 --> 02:01:35.880 It's an extinctionist belief system. And I think we want 1995 02:01:35.920 --> 02:01:39.039 to we want to be expansionists. We want to expand 1996 02:01:39.119 --> 02:01:42.199 to the stars, we want to grow as a civilization. 1997 02:01:42.760 --> 02:01:46.880 We don't want to go extinct. And so yeah, I. 1998 02:01:46.880 --> 02:01:50.840 Absolutely support the Coptic Christians and like, I mean, really, 1999 02:01:51.079 --> 02:01:55.920 anyone who's like expansionists, who's whose believes in a future 2000 02:01:55.960 --> 02:01:58.600 that is better than the past, that in a future 2001 02:01:58.640 --> 02:01:59.279 where we grow. 2002 02:02:01.319 --> 02:02:03.039 I massively support that. 2003 02:02:04.000 --> 02:02:11.600 So all right, yeah, hi Elon, I'm Jeremy and I'm 2004 02:02:11.640 --> 02:02:15.079 from Earth, more specifically Bowmansville. 2005 02:02:15.560 --> 02:02:20.079 But my question is address one astronomical unit. 2006 02:02:21.399 --> 02:02:24.600 Can you give some insight into your decision making process 2007 02:02:24.800 --> 02:02:28.039 and worldview? I mean, I have a lot of respect 2008 02:02:28.119 --> 02:02:30.720 for what you've been able to accomplish so far, and 2009 02:02:31.000 --> 02:02:33.359 you have a huge vision for what you want to 2010 02:02:33.439 --> 02:02:36.760 accomplish so yet. And in that way, there's a crossover 2011 02:02:36.880 --> 02:02:41.199 between the areas that you're a subject expert in and politics. 2012 02:02:41.560 --> 02:02:44.039 So if you have some insight into how you make 2013 02:02:44.119 --> 02:02:48.760 decisions in your worldview, then that enables us all to 2014 02:02:48.920 --> 02:02:51.880 trust you across a larger amount of issues. 2015 02:02:53.439 --> 02:02:59.840 Sure. Well, you know, I'm a big believer in physics, 2016 02:03:00.159 --> 02:03:04.239 you know, which is like basically, if if you like, 2017 02:03:05.000 --> 02:03:11.199 I mean, I sort of say, like, you know, everything 2018 02:03:11.239 --> 02:03:14.439 everything else is a recommendation pretty much, but physics is 2019 02:03:14.479 --> 02:03:17.920 the law. Like, if you break physics, you're gonna it's 2020 02:03:17.960 --> 02:03:20.960 not gonna. The rocket will explode and the car will 2021 02:03:21.039 --> 02:03:23.920 not work. So you have to adhere to physics in 2022 02:03:24.039 --> 02:03:26.359 order to make cars that work, and to make rockets 2023 02:03:26.359 --> 02:03:28.399 that work, in order to make space. 2024 02:03:28.159 --> 02:03:29.159 Internet that works. 2025 02:03:30.840 --> 02:03:33.680 You you, because if you're wrong, then reality is a 2026 02:03:33.800 --> 02:03:34.680 very harsh judge. 2027 02:03:35.520 --> 02:03:36.760 Reality is merciless. 2028 02:03:38.000 --> 02:03:41.960 If you make advice that doesn't work, that that violates physics, 2029 02:03:42.119 --> 02:03:46.239 it simply doesn't work, and then you'll think rocket blows 2030 02:03:46.279 --> 02:03:48.119 up in the satellites don't work and the car's break. 2031 02:03:49.119 --> 02:03:54.119 So you either you either if you make technology, you 2032 02:03:54.239 --> 02:03:56.119 either have a rigorous you. 2033 02:03:56.279 --> 02:03:56.640 You you. 2034 02:03:58.199 --> 02:04:00.359 Have to in order to make technology work, you must 2035 02:04:00.399 --> 02:04:04.520 have extremely rigorous pursuit of the truth because otherwise reality 2036 02:04:04.560 --> 02:04:05.840 will bite you in the as big time. 2037 02:04:06.800 --> 02:04:15.079 Yeah, So all right, Hi, thank you for taking the 2038 02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:17.520 time to be with us today. My name is Justin Henson, 2039 02:04:17.560 --> 02:04:22.199 also Lancaster County native. My generation is inheriting housing shortage 2040 02:04:22.199 --> 02:04:25.479 and we're statistically less likely to take blue collar jobs. Obviously, 2041 02:04:25.600 --> 02:04:28.079 declining birth rates been discussed. There's not going to be 2042 02:04:28.119 --> 02:04:31.319 as many people to even fill blue collar jobs. What 2043 02:04:31.399 --> 02:04:34.359 do you think the solution is to the current housing 2044 02:04:34.439 --> 02:04:36.720 crisis that we're having in this country. In terms of pricing, 2045 02:04:36.920 --> 02:04:39.800 it seems like my generation is getting priced out of homes, 2046 02:04:40.239 --> 02:04:43.640 but also balancing the equity that people who currently own 2047 02:04:43.680 --> 02:04:45.840 their homes have and obviously not wanting to destroy that 2048 02:04:45.960 --> 02:04:46.319 as well. 2049 02:04:46.840 --> 02:04:48.840 What do you see there to be a solution to 2050 02:04:48.960 --> 02:04:49.520 that problem? 2051 02:04:50.880 --> 02:04:53.319 Well, I mean the risk of being repetitive. I think 2052 02:04:53.520 --> 02:04:57.880 regulation is a strangling progress. And there's so many regulations. 2053 02:04:59.039 --> 02:05:01.840 You know, you can't even like modify your kitchen or 2054 02:05:02.560 --> 02:05:05.399 you know, add add something to your house without getting 2055 02:05:05.399 --> 02:05:10.119 Azillian permits. So if we get if we reduce regulation, 2056 02:05:10.359 --> 02:05:17.000 you reduce the cost of new houses. So yeah, I 2057 02:05:17.039 --> 02:05:21.159 mean it's it's you know, if I know there's like 2058 02:05:21.319 --> 02:05:25.159 many small business owners and and builders in this audience, 2059 02:05:25.279 --> 02:05:27.920 and and who are listening, and anyone who has tried 2060 02:05:28.000 --> 02:05:32.600 to build things, whether it's you know, build build, build 2061 02:05:32.640 --> 02:05:36.439 a house, or do anything, build a business, you realize 2062 02:05:36.560 --> 02:05:39.600 just how much of a government burden there is. It's 2063 02:05:39.680 --> 02:05:45.000 it's massive, and uh there's a state burden as well 2064 02:05:45.000 --> 02:05:46.720 as a federal burden. But we can at least do 2065 02:05:46.800 --> 02:05:50.319 something about the federal burden, and then you know that 2066 02:05:51.079 --> 02:05:53.079 that's you know, at least we could we don't have 2067 02:05:53.159 --> 02:05:56.199 to have like four hundred and how many agencies there are. 2068 02:05:56.520 --> 02:05:59.439 This is so crazy, you know, more I like, I'd 2069 02:05:59.479 --> 02:06:00.760 like to know if this is there. 2070 02:06:01.680 --> 02:06:03.439 I've been this on a single member of Congress that 2071 02:06:03.520 --> 02:06:06.399 can name two hundred agencies, I'll be surprised. 2072 02:06:08.399 --> 02:06:11.720 So, how many agencies do we need? Ninety nine? 2073 02:06:11.800 --> 02:06:13.720 That sounds like a lot. That sounds plan I need 2074 02:06:13.760 --> 02:06:15.640 to cover the basis? How many bases do we need 2075 02:06:15.680 --> 02:06:18.560 to cover? Anyway, it's a ninety nine basis sounds like 2076 02:06:18.560 --> 02:06:23.920 a lot. So anyway, I think we could just get 2077 02:06:23.960 --> 02:06:26.720 the governor of people's backs. Would be a bigger improvement 2078 02:06:26.800 --> 02:06:29.000 in the quality of life and cost of housing. 2079 02:06:28.760 --> 02:06:38.199 And everything else. So, yes, Elon was going on big Dog. Hey, 2080 02:06:38.279 --> 02:06:38.720 how's it going. 2081 02:06:40.600 --> 02:06:41.760 It's a pleasure to meet you. 2082 02:06:42.039 --> 02:06:43.920 My name is Nathan, I'm from Columbia. 2083 02:06:44.159 --> 02:06:45.439 Anyways, so. 2084 02:06:46.920 --> 02:06:48.279 I was gonna ask how do it feel to be 2085 02:06:48.279 --> 02:06:50.520 the richest man in the world, and also kind of 2086 02:06:50.560 --> 02:06:51.640 get a picture with you real quick. 2087 02:06:53.800 --> 02:06:58.000 Well, we're on TV right now, so I think I 2088 02:06:58.039 --> 02:07:01.680 think actually we're we're both last streaming right now, and 2089 02:07:01.720 --> 02:07:04.640 I think probably to millions of people actually, so yeah, 2090 02:07:05.760 --> 02:07:07.720 so millions people. I think millions of people will actually 2091 02:07:07.760 --> 02:07:11.119 see us. We're now on screen for millions of people. 2092 02:07:12.960 --> 02:07:14.640 In terms of how does it feel, I mean, it's 2093 02:07:14.720 --> 02:07:18.560 kind of a strange thing because I guess, like I'm 2094 02:07:18.560 --> 02:07:21.720 still very much like a technologist who, like, you know, 2095 02:07:21.800 --> 02:07:25.079 I just work a lot, you know, and then my 2096 02:07:25.520 --> 02:07:28.960 recreational activity is hanging out with friends and family and 2097 02:07:29.560 --> 02:07:33.760 playing video games, which is yeah, exactly, I played video 2098 02:07:33.800 --> 02:07:38.680 game Dablo out of the video games, so you know, 2099 02:07:38.720 --> 02:07:40.439 it's like, I don't I don't have like any yachts 2100 02:07:40.520 --> 02:07:45.600 or holiday homes or anything. So I guess if I 2101 02:07:45.800 --> 02:07:50.319 was to maybe live a more hedonistic life and you know, 2102 02:07:50.439 --> 02:07:52.680 had like yachts and islands or something like that, then 2103 02:07:53.920 --> 02:07:56.640 I would make more I got out of a movie 2104 02:07:56.640 --> 02:07:58.159 that every more. I don't know, but that's not my 2105 02:07:58.239 --> 02:08:01.039 idea of fun though, because I like, I'm like, you know, 2106 02:08:01.079 --> 02:08:03.119 I'm sitting. If I got sitting the beach, then I'm like, 2107 02:08:03.319 --> 02:08:07.479 this is boring. I know what I'm I supposed to 2108 02:08:07.479 --> 02:08:13.079 do now, you know. So I just like building things, 2109 02:08:13.239 --> 02:08:17.319 and I like being being productive and doing useful things 2110 02:08:17.359 --> 02:08:21.840 and making cool products, and that's it pretty much. I mean, 2111 02:08:21.880 --> 02:08:23.640 I also to like hanging out with friends and family 2112 02:08:23.720 --> 02:08:28.680 and stuff. But uh, you know, I'm not like saying, 2113 02:08:28.680 --> 02:08:31.560 how can I sort of well, ither I get you 2114 02:08:31.640 --> 02:08:33.439 out or anything like, I don't have a boat or 2115 02:08:33.479 --> 02:08:40.239 anything like that. So yeah, of course I still love it. 2116 02:08:40.279 --> 02:08:42.199 You know, you're right, I do have boats. 2117 02:08:42.479 --> 02:08:44.720 What are you talking force, Yes, there's a boat. 2118 02:08:44.960 --> 02:08:50.760 We SpaceX has these ships that are for the rocket 2119 02:08:50.840 --> 02:08:54.640 lands on. You know, so I guess technically I do 2120 02:08:54.760 --> 02:09:03.359 own boats. Yeah, I stand corrected, Thank you. Yeah, maybe 2121 02:09:03.359 --> 02:09:06.000 I should like go sort of sailing around in one 2122 02:09:06.039 --> 02:09:06.600 of them or something. 2123 02:09:07.479 --> 02:09:07.720 Yeah. 2124 02:09:10.760 --> 02:09:16.319 Yeah, all right, Hi Elon. My name is Bruce. 2125 02:09:16.359 --> 02:09:18.520 I'm a voter here in Pennsylvania and it's really it 2126 02:09:18.600 --> 02:09:20.520 is an honor to meet you. You've been a very 2127 02:09:20.960 --> 02:09:23.600 strong inspiration for me and my family and all my friends, 2128 02:09:23.640 --> 02:09:24.760 so God bless you for that. 2129 02:09:25.319 --> 02:09:27.119 Have a question right now about Latin America. 2130 02:09:27.399 --> 02:09:30.239 You've obviously met President Naibukeleva Salvador, who has done. 2131 02:09:30.079 --> 02:09:30.960 An incredible job. 2132 02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:31.920 He really has. 2133 02:09:32.399 --> 02:09:36.239 He's a very smart guy. Oh absolutely, absolutely, Like it's like, like, 2134 02:09:36.680 --> 02:09:39.760 you know, we had a long conversation about many subjects. 2135 02:09:41.359 --> 02:09:45.119 I think, yeah, he's really sharp guy. Absolutely. 2136 02:09:45.279 --> 02:09:47.800 So following on that, what would you advocate for in 2137 02:09:47.880 --> 02:09:51.880 a second Trump administration to incentivize states like Mexico, Ecuador 2138 02:09:52.039 --> 02:09:55.960 and others into strengthening their policies on policing and economic 2139 02:09:56.000 --> 02:09:58.600 opportunities to stem the tide of illegal migration to the 2140 02:09:58.680 --> 02:09:59.479 US southern border. 2141 02:09:59.640 --> 02:10:03.560 Thank you. Yeah. Well, I mean, if there's prosperity in 2142 02:10:04.279 --> 02:10:06.520 those countries, then I think there would obviously be less 2143 02:10:06.520 --> 02:10:11.760 of a forcing function for legal migration. It's it's pretty tough, 2144 02:10:13.079 --> 02:10:15.960 you know, I mean, and there's some lessons to be 2145 02:10:16.039 --> 02:10:20.079 learned there, Like when when Travis came to power in Venezuela, 2146 02:10:20.199 --> 02:10:21.479 one of the first things he did was take the 2147 02:10:21.479 --> 02:10:25.399 guns away from people, so he basically banned private gun 2148 02:10:25.439 --> 02:10:31.680 ownership under the guise of, you know, safety. And then 2149 02:10:31.880 --> 02:10:34.359 Maduro when he had the election recently, he lost by 2150 02:10:34.359 --> 02:10:37.439 a landslide and just ignored the election, and the people 2151 02:10:37.560 --> 02:10:41.119 protested when they got shot, they couldn't defend themselves. That's 2152 02:10:41.159 --> 02:10:43.640 why I need the Second Amendment. It's a critical thing.
