Man, I've been saying this for decades, I member in the 90's people at university saying nuclear was bad and I'm like "What's your major?"... "Arts"
Yep, absolutely nothing but air between their ears...
Well put! "Arts" , "Economics", "Business Administration", etc. useless in the discussion about physics. Not even sure where they are usefull...
Facts
Lmao
These arts major also saying HIV is necessary evil during love …lol
So much hate on twitter and reddit these days for this dude. It's insane. How can people not see him for what he is.
I think that a big part of the phenomenon of Elon-hate is that he has taken policy stances that go against the some people's political orthodoxies, which put him on the other side of the political spectrum in their minds, and therefore make him a bad person. Him being against Covid lockdowns and higher taxes for high-earners come to mind.
Once you've decided that a public figure is a bad person, it's easy to make every new piece of information you hear about them fit that narrative, and to accept verifiably false claims about them that strengthen that narrative because that allows you to hold a more simple model of the world and not have to deal with an uncomfortable ambiguity that might make your question your own beliefs. It allows you to hold a picture of the world that allows you to feel good about yourself because in it, you're perfectly righteous and correct.
Some people also hold as one of their central beliefs that all rich people are necessarily self-interested and exploitative assholes. They build their own identities around that idea. For them, it can be easier to mold all rich people to fit that belief system than it can to adapt that belief system based on the evidence they see.
Wars are not needed to solve problems I knew that 70 years ago were did the smart people go?
How can people not see what twitter and reddit are? Fake, managed bullshit.
Reddit is toxic as fuck. Bunch of cancerous dweeb haters and don't even talk about those butt hurt mods lol.
That's the problem...They do see him for what he is...They are scared of him...
He’s so honest, and you can see that he really thinks about a question and tries to answer the best way possible. He asks Alex: “what do you think I should do?” How amazing is that! And you know that he will think about it
That was my exact thought.
He's honest and there are many things about him I like. I like plenty of his ideas and that sometimes he's down to earth. I just disagree with what he says that we need more people. We DON'T. There are too many starving people out there to think about bringing in more.

One of the - if not THE best Elon interview EVER - Pure Gold.
Truly. This interview is by FAR, the best I've ever seen.
Not only were the questions absolutely fantastic! But the *way* the questions were asked was brilliant. Even the editing has been done incredibly well!
Well done to everyone involved for producing this masterpiece!
33:20 is a great example of how exceptional of a mind the interviewer has. - For Elon to value his opinion *so much* that he would turn the question back on the interviewer (sorry don't know his name yet), shows the amount of respect that Elon has for the guy.
(And btw, exceptional answer by the guy, you could tell Elon has never thought of it.)
But, who is he? This is the first I've ever seen of him. I'm definitely going to check him out and any other work he's done!
Again, something truly exceptional has been created here so a huge congratulations to everyone involved!
Agree! This was gold.
I had to stop half way through the interview to share this with a friend of mine......
He gives hope with his carefully thought out answers. A man of great wealth and acumen who doesn't flaunt it or throw it in your face. You just don't see men in this day and time with the notoriety that he has be so humble. It truly blows me away! And I am genuinely thankful that I saw this interview...... it gives me hope that in the future..... good will triumph over evil. His attempt to buy Twitter has felt good since the news about it first surfaced. I hope he can reverse the negativity that floods our democracy each and every day by the social platforms and news outlets that seem to love conflict and chaos. That's a tall order to be sure...... but now I have hope that it can be accomplished...... thanks to Elon..... for reminding us that humanity is a thing we can all get behind and support.
@@DanielDavies-StellularNebulla he is the CEO of springer publishing. Germany’s biggest publishing and media house. Not a journalist.
Also the interviewer never interrupts Elon when he’s talking and allows Elon some time to think even when Elon is pausing for a while.
I love how he just pauses and really thinks about his answers.
yeah i do that all the time cos my brain is slow but it makes people think im clever XD truly works. People stop and wait for your answer like it has been considered... but actually i'm just slightly aspergic like old musk here
So, an adult ?
@@ethnicalbert it’s called being an adult
@@RR-et6zp not really, lots of people talk as they are thinking (sometimes called extravert), others think and then talk (sometimes called introvert). It needn't have anything to do with maturity or intelligence
@@ethnicalbert personality types are bs. Psychology is mostly bs, except the part derived from biology. We are a social species but have our introverted time too. An adult thinks before they speak about something, especially very literal people (the ones who study physics and study reality)
“What do you think I should do?” That was an insightful question on so many levels, as they talked about charity.
The question of being lonely is something that touches me directly. Social interactions have a tendency to be rather stressful, but that does not make me someone who likes being alone. Peoples often have the wrong perception of that side of me. Sometime, just being there, having peoples around me without interacting is sufficient. The fact that I am not a very outgoing person does not meant hat I don't enjoy the company of others. There are times where I do have something to say, and the perception that others have of me can make it much harder to do so. Do not assume to much of someone who is quiet. Give them the opportunity to express themselves when they choose to do so. Do not push them, force to interact when they do not want to. Let them do it at their own pace.
For sure. Quiet doesn't mean you can't interact with others. You gain a lot listening
The last 10 minutes of this interview were quite intimate and vulnerable. Beautifully done.
I’m loving “the office” style camera work here. Made the brilliant interview even better.
The camera work was awful. You must be on drugs.
"history doesn't repeat but it rhymes"
I like that 👍
thank you Mathias Döpfner for letting him speak respecting his pauses, and letting silence be more powerful than any word could be. Usually hosts ask him one question after another without even see that he is thinking...
Actually the interviewer interrupted him a lot and stopped him from finishing his point and it was really annoying
20:35 Elon was telling us about the 3 layers of our brains. The interviewer interrupted him when he was on the 2nd layer and Elon never got to say more about the 2nd later or say what the 3rd layer is. The interviewer interrupted with an idiotic question about downloading our brain which is a completely different topic and such an unintelligent and boring question to ask.
"I care about the reality. Perception be damned."
that is why he calls himself an engineer xD
You can see the pain in his eyes when he says this. You can tell he’s paid a deep emotional price while trying to do what he felt was right.
@@adswers6900 you can’t start a successful company unless you know every detail
@@RR-et6zp well thats nice. dont know how this is contributing to the discussion. elon musk hasnt started a company, he just buys them.
What a deep thinker he is. He pauses to contemplate in an honest way, and then gives his best and more sincere answer.
he didn't stop to think for the poor monkeys who died horribly for his neurolink tests
and i thought he was pausing to invent his next lie
Dude, I was thinking the same thing!
@@adswers6900 You’re a small feeble mind. You’re not worth the dirt on Elon’s shoes.
That’s called an adult
As a German I’m so glad he addresses the madness of shutting down nuclear. We replace it by burning coal and it makes us completely dependent on Russia.
Kudos to Mathias Doepfner. It takes something to reach that level of depth into one's soul in such a short time. Remarkable interview.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview it is so inspiring and in my opinion Elon needs to run for president. He is so much more informed than anyone in government today. It's almost unreal how smart he is. May God Bless him and protect him .
Ive always been in this pool…I was just by myself
@@caudettebevan2764he was not born in the US and he is not a politician.
This dude is the one best human I have ever seen. Love love this guy. Every kind and intelligent person can see him for who he is. Humanity is blessed to have him. We just wish him happiness, health and long life.❤️
Don't you think he's just playing the opposite side of the bad guys to the audience because the world works in duality and he's been ordered to do so? meanwhile it is filling over your head with an infinity of satelites that will fill us with electromagnetism and control ... not to mention that it is the promoter of brain chips where in the future you will not even be able to have privacy or think like a free human being. greetings from the future
And has 7 kids
God bless him.
@Ernie H what things ? lying about his whole existence ?
@Ernie H no seriously what has he done ?
he lies about being an engineer. he lies about what his companies are doing. he is lying about what he is doing for the dompanies. also is he lying about everything he "invented" which is nothing. he hasnt done anything to paypal, tesla or spacex, but buying them.
26:59 "I'm not afraid of dying, I think it will come as a relief" - Elon MUSK....the three seconds of silence...those words didn't come from his lips...they came from his soul.
If only everyone sincere enough gains enough footing to succeed in life the world would be a better place. Elon's a technocrat. Not philosopher. He's pro robotics. He's trying to get away from pending collapse.
We’re all prisoners of space and time. It’s not our true home.
Everything comes to end at some point whatever the thing is. Thats fundamental core in life.
@@ken-mb5cpThis is very profound and very true
It’ll be a relief since, in many ways, he is alone, in a sea of dumb-zombie-humans that inhabit this planet he has to share with us.
15:48 Man, Elon is well read. He quoted that ‘4 legs good 2 legs bad’ from Animal Farm by George Orwell off the cuff.
Such a blessing to be alive during Elon's brilliant era. Hope I live long enough to witness his other dreams for humanity be fulfilled
In a way, it’s humbling to know that humans will be studying Elon thousands of years from now for the way he pushed humanity forward by leaps…we are fortunate to be alive while he is making his huge imprint.
Quite the fanboy I take it?
@@teddybearroosevelt1847 Elon has failed many times, but if you are courageous enough to fail you can reach great heights.
Even hundreds of years from now, people will be fascinated with his accomplishments! To the future researchers from now, Yes, these were telling times! 🖖😏
Bullshit!!! No one is going to study Elon! All what he is saying is not extraordinary, nuclear is already a thing just like wind….. he doesn’t make any of those.
@@teddybearroosevelt1847 quite the troll I take it? xD
What I love about him is that unlike most successful uber rich people he is authentic and not arrogant. He is in a class of his own.
True that amazing unbelievable people ok👍🙏
North Carolina ❤️🤓😁👍🙏you and what you trying to make happen for the future and for Man kind keep doing what you do 😁👍🤓👏 no I am a writer and have to stop my self 😁👍🙏
This should be on the masterclass of how an interview should be taken!
What a great interviewer , asked all the right questions 👏🏽👏🏽
What a great interview; my god this guy is an absolute genius. I have never seen Elon so engaged in a conversation. Loved it
Never? Then you didn't saw him at Joe Rogan's.
@@valberm which one ? the one where he is smoking a joint and talking about, how covid doesnt exist ?
Agreed, the only thing I thought would be different is solar and batteries would be a bridge to next generation thorium nuclear technology due to it being able to power the same amount of infrastructure with a comparatively tiny footprint and least environmental disturbance; especially since solar and batteries can be constructed much more quickly than fission and eventually fusion plants. Eventually as the enormous solar farms and battery storage reach their end of life they can be replaced with nuclear and the land can be returned to nature or farming since Earth with be the bread basket of a solar system society. As far as the birthrates SpaceX would be the solution to provide the means for us to expand.
@@anydaynow01 doesnt sound genius for me, sounds more like old technology.
@@adswers6900 and you sound like a hater, click off the video
Elon is an amazing asset for humanity, we are lucky to have him fighting for a better future for us and the generations to come.
Gods gift to save us all.
But he get ShitHead advisors.
He should buy slave labour mines in Africa to stop child labour BLOOD BATTERIES for his Testicular Obsession.
Lol…. He isn’t the only one fighting for the future of humanity stfu!!!! We’re happy to have all the engineers, searchers, scientists…… including the multiple of companies.
@@carholic-sz3qv who said he was the only one ? Of course there are others
So where does the radioacitive waste go? Nobody wants it
We havnt stopped Fukushima from leaking into the sea. He has no 'visionary' answer to these things
33:19 "what do you think I should do"
It hits different when he says that. Intense and serious.
Funny how people take the word of a businessman more seriously/ with the utmost conviction compared to if an epidemiologist/medical professional with an epidemiology background had to say the same thing. It's not what you say it's who says it.
He is extremely intelligent, he knows alot of things from different topics.
He's always busy, but always get time to read lots of books.
Super human.💪
But one who is a fan of indentured labour. Scary oligarch.

@@DanielDavies-StellularNebulla The interviewer is Martin Döpfner - He is not only journalist. He is CEO of Springer group, one of the biggest media groups in Germany. I'm German too, so nativ speaker and I know Doepfner him from his articles. Many times I do not agree with his points of view. Probably because they envolve political questions and a strong left agenda. But, when he jumped out of his articles and did this interview I was simply astounded - Due to the interview conducted by himself and how well he opened the insight to Elon Musk, showing so we'll what guy Elon is and how he is thinking. What made this interview so valuable is that it showed Elon from another side than in the common superficial US Media events. But I'm almost shure that Döpfner had been studied Elon Musk for just a long long time waiting and preparing himself for that event, just knowing him very well and how enable this deep insight. Very epic 45min.
@@DanielDavies-StellularNebulla Elon's first Joe Rogan interview is better. It's less polished and more thoughtful. Here Elon Musk is just trottng out his established ideas and opinions (and they're mostly good) instead of actually pondering questions. His last year or so of interviews are an example of older people becoming stuck in their opinions, something he correctly criticizes.
@@skierpage Hmm, I agree to an extent.
But listen closely, this interview is *different* - in that the interviewer didn't just ask the standard (stupid) questions.
In fact, I can't remember a *single* question being legitimately stupid.
They were all, at least to some degree, thought provoking for Elon and the viewers.
And there were a few, namely the one about how to allocate money effectively ("I care about the reality. Perception be damned"), and the interviews response (Health care providers of the elderly), that was truly thought provoking for Elon, and it should have been for the viewer aswell.
@@MrPerrey Makes sense. He is very intelligent.
The greatest words I have ever heard someone in his position of power admit... The reason he isn't working towards extending life... (What old rich people obviously want) is because "most people don't change their minds, they just die... And we'll be stuck with old idea, not advancing the our species" truer words we're never spoken. 👏👏
Great interviewer, and amazing Elon as always. Hope to see another one of these down the road!
Good interaction, full of solid common sense discussion. Logical and practical answers to questions understood by most of the ordinary people.
So a boring interview?
@@slowfudgeballs9517 A good interview
@@gamerfortynine people without a 200 IQ 😂
@Mad God Yeah he says we need MORE children not less. Did you actually listen to his thoughts on birthrates and population growth? Because your comment is so far off from representing what Musk thinks about it.
like men
Dude is brace enough not just building Tesla & spaceX on edge of bankruptcy , but also brave enough to admit one’s normality& vulnerability like don’t wanna being along & wanna be loved as most human want
Not many people say "for the benefit of Humanity" more than Elon... He's a great asset to our progress as humans...
Exactly! He reminds me of myself 😅😂 pun intended, normal person except I’m a peasant.
Bankruptcy!? Neither would have existed without Elon!
@@thetruthserum2816 nonsense!!!! It’s actually a lot of person that are for the benefit of humanity. Musk makes electric cars but unfortunately burns millions of gallons of fossil fuels for its rockets
@?ndj And that’s the most important thing and only clever people understand this. It doesn’t matter how smart and capable you are. It matters if you can turn that into money and a product/service in the market.
I love this man ,he's trying to help,using his well earned influence ,as best he can,how wonderful ,to aspire to helping humanity
i must say this is probably the best interview. Dopfner is an amazing journalist. smart insightful questions not the usual banalities
If I saw Elon at a restaurant I’d be torn between wanting to shake his hand to say Thank You and leaving him alone to enjoy his meal in peace.
go for the latter, I'd say
I have a family member that works at Tesla here in Austin and if you heard the stories I have heard you wouldn't want to talk to him at all. He was THE hero of mine until I heard the way he treats his workers.. yeah he may be trying to help the planet but if your a complete coksucker to the people who are really doing the planet saving work then you don't deserve the recognition.. it truly broke my heart when I heard these stories bc on camera he acts like such a good person when he truly isnt.. there is nothing in this world I can't stand more then someone who treats his workers the way he does and also is two-faced.. those are just the worst in my book
The rule is to make eye contact and salute him like a soldier. Its the ultimate sign of respect
@@FrotLopOfficial Literally what ide do 🤣
Yes! He was leaving the IHOP at Cape Canaveral and we were just delighted to be in the same place!
Matthias is a great interviewer with his intellectual attitude and what might make him the best to interview Musk is that he wants to explore new areas with Elon, not covered in any previous interviews.
Agreed
Love the interview. Wish the sound volume was relatively higher
Elon is just another guy. I would be honored to meet him but I also wouldn't go out of my way to disturb him at a restaurant. He's been through things in his life the same as all of us. He deserves his peace and privacy.
What strikes me is that Elon is always very truthful to all questions he gets, you can sense that from the moments when he takes his time to answer, he really thinks things through. Honesty is one of his best sides that not many mention.
Thruthfull my @zz lol…. The robot ain’t coming out anytime soon trust me, it’s just the cybertruck and semi over promised and not delivered at all
I couldn’t agree more. Elon is a true asset to humanity!

elon musk has literaly achieved nothing in his life.
he dropped out of college for "his" "internet yellow pages idea" . his programming skills were so bad, that a business partner, of his dad, hat to actually get professionals to make the site workable. elon musks code was so bad, they had to start from scratch.
the business partner, sold "zip2" thats how elon got his first million.
with that he bought the predecessor to paypal. made himself ceo. was so bad he got kicked of the board and made billions when paypal was sold to ebay.
than he bought tesla, fired the original inventors and minds behind tesla.
he claims today to be an engineer, software developer/ coder and founder of all those companies ( paypal, tesla etc. ). all of those are lies.

There was a huge , and completely unnecessary carbon footprint, caused by activists influencing energy policy through anti nuclear protests. And today the unwillingness to look at fossil fuel in an empirical way is also causing a huge carbon footprint.
A UK government report found out a lot of those activists were actually funded by Russia to keep Europe reliant on Russian gas… Notice how they also oppose local fracking in Europe (even in the ocean where it won’t affect anyone), but they never oppose Russian gas imports and call it “transitory”.

Excellent interview. thumbs up and definately subscribed.
I share the sentiment about Elon as most of these comments but may we take a momento to also appreciate the interviewer (Mathias Döpfner), what an immersive way to conduct and guide the questions! The way this was set up made me feel I was in their living room having a drink with them... What a great conversation!
That's one of the best interviews I've seen of this man. Not a fanboy interview. Real, hard-hitting discussion.
Amazing interview, the host asked great questions, and bounced off additional relevant and thought provoking questions for Elon.
Majority of the questions were already asked to Elon.
Waste of time
@@TheJoseph0012 I agree, a lot of them were the usual Tesla, Spacex, Neuralink, but I liked that there additional questions more related to what drives his decisions and choices, that weren't about saving Earth, because we all know those answers from other interviews.

Leonardo da Vinci was the 1st Industrial Designer and didn’t realize it, since it was rare to be multi-skilled as Renaissance Artists since most artists specialized and perfected their craft in one specific medium/skill. He broke the barriers to become a meld between art, science, including engineering. Elon is doing great things and feel the host had an agenda with some of these questions and geniuses shouldn’t be limited or to be a certain way to fit in or accept a standard approval among other elites or people with power. He is doing his own path.
nah elon musk is more like a modern Charles Ponzi.
get money out of everybody, by claiming to do anything, while actually doing nothing.
And that's why Elon said Da Vinci was impressive for _his_ time. Elon was just being honest.
@@mrme4362 elon musk and honest xDxD
would you like to finde his engineers degree ? xDxDxD
Thnx for a great interview!
Good point about the age of leadership being in touch with the people.
Incredible episode! 👏
Great interviewer - good questions and nice flow of conversation. Thank you -
San Fransisco to Nairobi 🎉, I like it when Kenya is mentioned even for no apparent reason
What an age we live in. Where we have these types of conversations at the tip of our finger, on a whim.
Today I watch and feel that Elon's sincerity and truth. As he said everything is very insightful, and above all I'm impressive that his thought about the word of 'impossible'. "Impossible is a strong word.. More or less banned in physics"
I think he is positive person, so he can do anything he wants. I am always on his side! Thanks, Elon :)
Me too!
Yes. Elon uses 'the power of positive thinking'
@@andrewphillips6783 "if i just make the people believe i am doing something. they will give me money"
sounds right to me
This should be common sense
@@RR-et6zp what should be common sense?
My hope for Elon is that he continues to love and be loved, and work on his passions, as humanity will benefit from that outcome as well.
If he continues to raise his family, love whom he loves, and complete his projects we should be so lucky to benefit from his exsistance. And yes he is more a Ben Franklin - he is a good citizen and will be a good father. We need more fathers like him. I also hope he writes more as he ages so future generations can be inspired by his vision and accomplishments and the stories it took to get him from there to here. It all turned out and it looks like "this".
You are an amazing person! I enjoy all the knowledge you share. Such a humble person. Great sense of humor.
Brilliant interview. Thank you
Elon Musk has a good heart and soul - and cares about humanity while having a passion for logic freedom and expanding our capabilities.
Good heart and soul?
One of his companies is based on animal cruelty.
What is wrong with you?
@@beetisdaman3672 name it then.
@@FimiliarGalaxy9 the nuerolink one. They drill into the skulls of different apes and commit other forms of animal cruelty and call it “research”
There are several videos by whistleblowers
33:20
Döpfner: "...we should help the caregivers of the elderly..." (paraphrased)
Musk: (thinking) "hmm. I'd just replace the human caregivers with robot caregivers."
Yeah. Fuck that. Elderly NEED human contact. Sometimes it's literally all they have.
@@NotMarkKnopfler agreed.
@@NotMarkKnopfler yes the elderly definitely need human in contact but robot care givers could help when staff is not available or when staff is overworked for examples they need to be turned over, the elderly who are not physically able to turn themselves over such as if they’re 100 years old or for some of the reason and some of the staff can easily get physical problems if someone is overweight or other reasons and there’s not enough staff to help then that person doesn’t get turned over in time and those elderly people will have circulation problems and more.
Very deep convo. The meaning of everything we do is love.
i have been watching Elon Musk interviews for a while and - as a German - I find it very funny how here he - like he does - makes his jokes, but the german guy just looks at him with the most serious face like “yes, very funny. 😶 please continue.”
One of the greatest Elon Musk interview, well done to the interviewer awesome question, this is why I love Germans they are direct and straight to the point
“We don’t want the small candle in the vastness of darkness to be put out”
That should be the title of this interview
Your candor is completely refreshing as a entrepreneur.
Fantastic interview - thank you! 👍
Thank you to both of you. what an amazing interview which is only possible when the interviewer makes real questions being truly respectful and engaged in the will to get to know the person who's in front of him AND an interviewed who's really generous to share himself like this, fully honest with himself and having it as the ultimate aim of the conversation.
This man is a brilliant mind that works harder than just about anyone & actually wants to fix things & do good for humanity. If you relegate that down to just politics it shows your maturity level hasn't peaked past 4th grade. This is way beyond left vs right.
One might say (and politicians often do) that fixing things and doing good for humanity is the whole of politics
oh and i thought he is simply a narcissistic conman. but he cant be. since he makes everybody talking good about him, while he is actually doing nothing. wait....
And the establishment and elites want to tarnish his reputation and tear him down. Bill Gates and many big investment firms shorting Tesla. Disparaging his attempt to buy Twitter.
@@MattOGormanSmith right, bill gates is interested about elon musks image...
elon musk has done nothing for humanity.
elon musk only donates for tax evasion, or if amber heard need 7million.
elon musks total donated money wont come up to a single percent of his wealth, while bill gates donated half of its ealth.
elon musks thinks he is the elite of the elite. he is the worst
I would like to thank the interviewer for his questions and Elon for the honest answers even if some questions were really deep and hurt.. specially when he talked about happiness and loneliness.
Elon has such a soothing voice.
Always a pleasure to listen to Elon Musk. What a nice human being.
I like how he talks in a way the average person can understand what he is saying. Not all tech talk.
Incredible Interview, thank you.
He a great interviewer, so at ease to ask hard questions
-See you on mars, suckers 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Elons best quality is that he actually wants to help humanity. He thinks about every variable possible then acts.. like he said her he doesn't care about the perception that he does ge actually wants to. So he's gonna look like a villan alot. Such a good hearted man
Did U catch the part where he doesn’t want to extend our lifespans though? I can’t disagree that it’ll hinder progress .. just wondering if anyone else caught that part.
@ [24:57] this pause was sooo cool. You could tell this question mattered to him. The response to this question was perfect!
This is an interaction that is worth the term ,,Interview’’
Way to go Welt!! What a great interview!
Nuclear Power is the best.
@@ralphmacchiato3761 yes but no one would want to attack them, even the Russians didn't.
They could be hit by accident, but it would have to be a really big accident for this to happen.
I would definitely use as many nuclear energy as possible, it is the most reliable energy source at the moment.
this was a great interview.
Ótima entrevista. Penso dessa forma!!
Sul do Brasil 🤩🤩👏👏👏
The way he cares for humanity, his endless passion for progress and finding truth, his conviction and never to give up in what he believes IS HIS GREATEST AND MOST VALUABLE CHARITY WORK/GIFT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. no amount of money can match what he has been able to do and still continue to do for humanity.
". no amount of money can match what he has been able to do and still continue to do for humanity."
do you even know anything about this guy or what you are talking about ?
did you know that bill gates gave half his fortune away ?
Keep caring and working FOR HUMANITY ELON..
stay humble, God has blessed you with a special gift, a big brain to advance society in the best ways...with you there is hope for our children ..to live in a better world..created by this genius.
I would like to see him run the USA as president...
But like all good men,there is always a nutty evil fanatic ready to take a pot shot...so maybe I would like him to work his magic quietly if possible..
GOD BLESS YOU ELON
