I know people that have worked with Elon. He is no hero and he is not below stealing ideas. Podcasts have become as layered with deceit as the mainstream media.

[@feonor26]

Ridiculous. He pauses for a long time because he doesnt have an answer to the question put forth and he doesnt take the concerns of real engineers seriously because he knows jack shit about engineering. Fuck it we get it done is not an answer! I have been in many engineering meetings myself where we have tried to solve issues and not once have anyone said fuck it we get it done.

"I don't need a source of strength. And I don't care about optimism or pessimism. F*ck that we're gonna get it done." - Elon Musk 2021 From a Henry Ford biographer: “When Henry Ford decided to produce his famous V-8 motor, he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and instructed his engineers to produce a design for the engine. The design was placed on paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece. Ford replied,'' Produce it anyway.” They did.

[@Ryan-ce1oc]

@@denisla3546 I know what you mean but I genuinely don't think it's dramatic. I think it's a learned habit. I've noticed that I do it a lot more after I graduated from university and the reason I do it is because I actually find it quite hard to think clearly while trying to answer a question at the same time, it's much easier to just stay quiet and give your answer after you have formulated it. I'm pretty sure this is the same for Elon too. I think if you immediately start giving your answer while you are still trying to think through it, you just start confusing yourself and anyone who is listening to you. Some people have a gift for answering hard questions immediately and clearly, but it's a really difficult thing to do unless you already know the answer.

Elon embodies the philosophy of science as technique, rather than a means of knowing.

[@EnglishViking420]

Elon first word In the interview "yes" sounded exactly like the terminator 🤣

Elon's antivirus software in his head processed the idea of quitting as a virus and sucessfully eliminated that idea.

Lmao.

1:13 Understand what important to do. Ask yourself if it's important. Fuck that we are going to that done. Or we gonna die trying if it's dead important

[@MaximilianImaging]

Elon is an alien consciousness that has incarnated into our reality to push mankind forward.

[@joegardiner4220]

You would be surprised how much confidence it takes to hold an awkward silence like that and actually use that time to think only of your answer and not how deafining the silence is

[@InfinityAndParadox]

Wow, that long pause says something indeed! He doesn't care about optimism or pessimism. I assume what he says is relative to projects and stuff. But I hope he hasn't that attitude towards the human endeavor as a whole.

[@sevenproxies]

You actually made Elon reflect upon his response. Respect.

[@woo9194]

When you have an important task to accomplish, you do what it takes to get it done.

[@markmyjak7739]

Agreed 👍. I had an engineering challenge on my house I was building. The building inspector tells me I need a lam-beam to support the cathedral ceiling in the master bedroom. Ceiling height it 15 feet. BTW, the roof is finished. The lam beam is 22 feet, 18 inch webbing , 3.5 inches thick. Weight 600 lbs. With some rigging and a cat-head, my wife and raised it into place. After all said and done, the master bedroom ceiling is 13 feet, 6 inches. Awsome feat of DYI engineering.

[@terrysavoy7487]

Every question I have ever watched Elon Musk answer .... he has absolutely gotten straight to the point he is extremely consistent with his answers he has been saying since he was in his twenties that he does not give up ...... he's going to find a solution to every problem and that's all there is to it!

[@AvidDoes]

He looks so tired. Replenish and Recharge... We need you!

[@system1170]

Not knowing when to quit is literally what stupid people do.

[@billgod8940]

What Elon is saying is you don't always need "strength" to do the impossible. You need purpose. To think that you need strength immediately puts you in the camp of resistance and you make it even harder than it needs to be. You simply surrender to the process. No motivation or strength needed. When you say you need strength, you automatically tell yourself you're weak. Weak people can't do anything.

[@catalicos]

Elon took a few seconds here to consider Lex's point of view, as it was his first time seeing it in that spectrum. He put himself in that position and went through his whole upbringing with that mindset, until finally reaching a failure point. That's when he had his answer: 'Fuck that!' 🙂

[@infinitespiritsound]

Now THAT is the answer. There is no how to. You can read your life away reading self help books and how to’s. All that matters is you gotta have that natural inclination and desire to just do whatever yo have to go do to get it done, and you will. This is what I hate about philosophy. It just goes around in circles and isn’t very practical at a certain point.

[@rubenmendezhoms3488]

Don't mix self-help books with philosophy books.

[@infinitespiritsound]

@@rubenmendezhoms3488 I’m not, but it’s basically the same thing. It’s a dead end cycle of over-intellectualizing. If you want to get something done, you just get it done.

[@MrDavidinho96]

@@infinitespiritsound yeah i kinda agree with you. I love philosophy, and ive read a lot of it, but i feel that at the end is just an overationalization of the world, and it lacks practicality. Just get out there, do shit and get experiential learning, not so much intelectual

[@rubenmendezhoms3488]

@@infinitespiritsound On that, I agree. But with philosophy you can extract true meaning that can guide the needed action. To act without thinking is just as bad as thinking without acting. I think balance is required. Self-help is just deformed psychology that treats people as stupid narcissists (maybe that's mostly what we are).

Watching this while waiting for Chick-fil-A order and there is literally a Tesla parked to left and right of me. Seeing them everywhere. Mad respect to this guy.

[@stephenmcallister2169]

when you get elon musk to pause for 10 seconds about a question. you know you accomplished something big.

[@RandomGuyyy]

tbh that's his normal thinking delay

Elon is the first successful AI being tested in front of all of us.

[@GameReality]

Fu**** love this guy. We should give him all our money and just see what he would do. Put him in charge of tax money and just let him decide how to use them. Love from Sweden

[@sufficetosay]

Damn great idea. Could you imagine what Musk could pull off with unlimited resources! There would be no off limits.

@@sufficetosay He had probably just fixed fu**** everything 🙂🖖

What a quote . Lex the year is 2021 and I have now been reawaken thanks to to the velocity and extropianistic nature of these discussions ...... yummy and thankyou

[@KrattarKrattar]

Sometimes I wonder if he’s built a bot of himself, and I’m seeing this bot processing a question for 12 seconds

[@superheaton]

He's waiting for his AI to suggest the best engine response

Man that 12 second pause 😂

[@subindsuresh4897]

Another thug life moment from Elon, "I don't care about optimism or pessimism. Fuck that!! we will get it done." Thanks for these interviews Lex. Edit : Just realised that his entire response from 1:04 is badass. Not just the quote that I attached above.

[@AdamEdward]

he replayed that question multiple times in his head during that pause before he answered. i love how he was able to open up on this cast and really dive deep into some different things.

[@theneutralgroundpodcast]

It took him more time to answer that question than it did to develop his first Tesla prototype.
