Elon Musk: Electricians and plumbers are a lot more important than incremental political science majors.
“I have a lot of respect for people who work with their hands.
We need electricians, plumbers, and carpenters. That's a lot more important than having incremental political science majors.
We should not have this idea that to be successful you need to have a four-year college. That is simply not true.”

Elon Musk:
“Inflation, throughout history, has been used as a pernicious tax.
It's like one degree removed, so people don't feel it directly. Then, the politicians will try to blame it on something else.
But it's all about government spending.”

Elon Musk: DEI is DIE
Joe Rogan: “What did you change the acronym DEI to?”
Elon: “Oh, DIE. I mean, because Diversity, Inclusion and Equity is DIE.”
Joe Rogan: “What is it?”
Elon: “Die.”
Joe Rogan: “But didn't you change it to dedication, excellence and ... ”
Elon: “Yeah, I mean, we want America to be the land of opportunity.
It means that we have an environment where you succeed as a function of your hard work and skill.”
Joe Rogan: “That's radical. Are you the best person?”
Elon: “This makes you right-wing now. I'm like, okay, great. Pull me right-wing. I don't care.”
The Joe Rogan Experience, November 4, 2024
@ElonClipsX DEI has caused tremendous damage to the American society

Elon Musk: Let's allocate 1% of our efforts to make life multiplanetary. I think it's worth it.
“I do think that 99% of our effort should be focused on Earth, and really, 99.9% of our effort is focused on Earth. But I do think it's worth taking 1% and trying to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars and make life multiplanetary.
There are a couple of good reasons for that.
First of all, there's always the possibility that there could be some terrible thing that happens on Earth that we maybe don't anticipate.
If you look at the fossil record, you see that there have been five major extinction events in the last 500 million years.
What happened to the dinosaurs? They used to be here. They're not around anymore.
That's the defensive argument. And then there's what I call the inspiration argument or the excitement.
Building a city on Mars would just be this incredible adventure. There would be things in life that are exciting and inspiring, that when you wake up in the morning, you're like, yes, I'm glad to be alive. I think having this great adventure would be like that.”
Interview with the Chinese Television, April 25, 2015

@ElonClipsX The adventure of building on Mars could be the perfect antidote to the boredom and despair of modern life.

Elon Musk: 2025 may become the most important year in Tesla's history.
“2025 really is a pivotal year for Tesla. When people look back on 2025 and the launch of unsupervised full self-driving, true real-world AI that actually works, I think they may regard it as the biggest year in Tesla history.
Maybe even bigger than our first car, the Roadster, or the Model S, Model 3 or Model Y.
There is no company in the world that is as good at real-world AI as Tesla. I don't even know who's in second place. I would need a very big telescope to see them. That's how far behind they are.”

Elon Musk: Do we have a spirit of adventure?
“Do we have a spirit of adventure? Do we want to go out there and see the rest of the universe? Do we want to find out what's out there, and maybe meet some alien civilizations? Do we want science fiction to not be fiction forever?
If so, we need to be a multiplanet species. That's the next step. And then, we can go from there to being a multistellar species and get to other star systems.”
Jay Leno's Garage, September 21, 2022
@ElonClipsX I'd say the spirit of adventure is in his blood, and I'm thankful for the inspiration.

Elon Musk: Optimus will be able to play the piano.
“We had to design everything from physics first principles to work for a humanoid robot. Optimus will have the most sophisticated hand that has ever been made, by far.
It will be able to play the piano and be able to thread a needle. This is a level of precision no one has been able to achieve. It's really something special.”

@ElonClipsX That sure is saving humanity
