I am 52 yrs old. Listening to the future that Elon will accomplish, makes me sad that I will not live long enough to see the full realization of his endeavors. At the same time, I am VERY HAPPY that I am alive to witness the accomplishments he has already achieved and will achieve in my life time. If I live long enough to witness the first human mission to mars, I will have died a happier man! This man makes me want to live longer! BTW, I was born in 1969. The year we landed on the moon. Maybe I will die the year we land on mars?

Watching this video, I have to say that Chris Anderson is an outstanding and amazing interviewer. All questions were totally on point and not only interesting but also different to what we have heard before from Elon. Throughout the interview, one could see the underlying structure and guidance which made it easy to listen and follow along. And one thing that especially stood out: He rarely interrupted but still managed to get all the necessary information while not digressing from the main topics. I watched a 1 hour long interview, enjoyed every second and am stunned afterwards to a point where not writing a comment simply isn't a possibility. That's what interviews should be like. That's quality.

[@samd6458]

I agree with Elon. I really hope we will be able to solve and cure mental health disorders and I hope we will be able understand more about the brain and understand more about the mind in five to ten years (thats my estimate).

"If you want the future to be good, you must make it so." I love that quote.

[@kicka55]

You can't change the future, you can only change the present reality. Buying electric cars could lead to a sustainable and better future, but it might as well do the opposite. There is no way to be sure. Electric cars could for example lead to a massive increase in traffic because suddenly driving around your car is almost free using solar power and that increase in traffic would produce more secondary CO2 than it saves by ditching gasoline, like fixing roads (asphalt -> super high in CO2), building more bridges (concrete -> super high in CO2), wear and production of tires, etc etc. IMO the best way to fix the future is a drastic decrease in human population to levels where we can live in symbiosis with nature and let everyone enjoy a happy and healthy life. We just don't fulfill the requirements to be an advanced species so long there is unnecessary suffering. If we can't fix our most basic of needs for all, why would you want to spread such a toxic culture into space? We're not worthy (yet). We have to grow up first and then join the galactic community. One step at a time.. they're probably watching us and there is no way they would let a species loose into space that is at the verge of using nuclear bombs against each other. How stupid is that.. and if you believe you're safe from earthlings on Mars you're totally wrong. Nukes can reach Mars without a problem. In fact I'm sure some countries will setup spy satellites around Mars the moment it is colonized and then claim they are building weapons of mass destruction to justify an invasion.

I actually think the interviewer was trying hard not to spill out all his dreams he pondered in the late nights of his life. It was rather incredible and added a dimension to the interview that I enjoyed very deeply. That deep big dream for the future is missing in near every sphere of human endeavor today . War , supply chain issues , global crisis, and on and on. It's so inspiring to see a host let out their deeper self .

@@StardropSmoothie lol. Even if he’s the worst, the technology that he’s made possible, and yes he has made them possible, has pushed humanity further then anyone of his peers and a majority of humans thru out history. I’m sure there are plenty of awful things that have come from his companies, but I think you are being a bit short sighted, especially when you consider that a huge amount of billionaires are making their money with literal scams that only literally only hurt the world at large. I also think you’ve just read into some poorly written slam pieces. He’s not saint, don’t get me wrong, but he’s a far cry from Bezos or any of the other tech elites, not to mention politicians or investment bankers. He’s definitely inflammatory sometimes, but if there was legitimate evidence of him being nasty to minorities or treating workers terribly(like say Amazon…), we’d be hearing it non-stop. It’s just a lazy way to argue against someone. I mean, the guy manufactures his cars in the US…most corporations are manufacturing their products overaeas in way way worse environments. Like, out of all the ones to go after, there’s so many who give nothing in return compared to him. And the US is still putting out way less pollution and environmental damage as many eastern countries are. None of its good, but it’s kind of sad to attack the one guy who has actually made the most progress in environmental technology. Most didn’t even think electric cars would be a thing for another 50 years.

He is very obviously working hard to see these things come into fruition, when he could have years ago retreated back to a Yacht and lived like a King for the rest of his days.

[@clintonzenzius3914]

I was talking w my gf and i realized that Elon is actually building a future today with the big picture @ the forefront and every company he has created or collaborated with is only a cog in a much bigger machine. He knows humanity plays a huge role in his vision of the future. He's mentioned in the past that there were once great empires that have been advanced technologically only to crumble from within and collapse. Back into the "dark ages" less than they once were. This usually has to do with the insatiable appetite of the ego and its hunger for power. He recognizes the social fabric of our democracy is frayed and tattered yet still intact albeit the rip that is growing at an alarming rate with each election cycle. Thats why i think he feels it is necessary to embark on this communication endeavor with twitter. Why there is so much pushback is strange. Who's really pushing? What are in the data servers @twitter that compels the powerful to take an advesarial stance? Was there a coordinated effort between the Govt. Tech and Media to elevate political figures and diminish others? How active of a role did twitter take? If any? Was there election meddling going on? Any contribution to a political campaign has to be filed with the F.E.C. and what price can be placed on the power of shaping public opinion? Certainly there must have been a conscious effort by many to maintain a relatively tight storyline surrounding COVID-19. I wonder what their direct messages (via twitter) to one another would bring to light? It makes me think that Elon might be making a lot of people nervous right now.
