His message on AI is actually super intriguing. Life, particularly technological advancement, is speeding up at an incredible rate. 2008 was just ten years ago and we basically wouldn't even be able to recognize that world anymore.

A lot of people aren't, the majority of the stock pricing falling was because the C-suites left and that was before the podcast. That said, if you are the head at a public company, it's pretty dumb to smoke weed on a fucking podcast.

Don't agree with this. Go watch The Soprano's, it's a really good snapshot of the mid to late 2000's. Although the world in the show seems quaint and dated, it's by no means unrecognizable. Technology exists in the show, but it's just much more in the background.

The more technology becomes accessible, the quicker the world will become unrecognizable. Imagine poor people with smart devices, and devices on every street corner/every shop/etc. The main thing holding us back from entering a super technological future is how expensive everything is. An iPhone is $1k, that's still a lot of money. People can't afford technology.

I absolutely love that Twitter thread, holy shit. It is actually the PERFECT exposé of the current media and why nobody trusts them.

1. Some journalist brings up an article that was written by an "untrustworthy source" and claims Elon is bad for liking the article (character assassination)
2. Elon defends his stance, states that in the current climate, people don't trust the media
3. Journalist continues his high-horse stance: "Just come to our newsroom, pleb, and see how things are done, you just don't get it"
4. Elon states he's been to many newsrooms, that's not the problem, the problem is the media is currently not trusted
5. Another """""journalist""" butts in and says, "Isn't it in the best interest of powerful people to tear the media down"
6. Elon says "Who do you think owns the media?" and is obviously implying that powerful people own the media
7. THE MEDIA AND JOURNALISTS IMMEDIATELY TAKE THIS OUT OF CONTEXT, ATTEMPT TO MAKE A STORY OUT OF A NON-TRUTH, IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPT TO CHARACTER ASSASSINATE ELON FOR AN OUT OF CONTEXT TWEET, etc.
8. Thus proving Elon's point, the EXACT reasons people don't trust the fucking media in the first place.

These fucking idiots just proved exactly why it's so hard to trust the media now. They're held to no standard and they have no integrity. I'm saying this for all media, not just lib/dem media. No """""journalist"""""" in the online age is held to any standards whatsoever, besides maybe they can't be sexist or racist. Facts literally don't matter anymore.

It's very interesting how almost everyone's perception of reality is completely wrong. People who listen to the podcast and read news articles will still not know what is real.

1. The COA resigned on Tuesday. The public announcement was Friday.
2. Elon Musk agreed to podcast on Wednesday, aka knowing the morning after podcast the news of COA resignation would hit.
3. The guy he called a pedo was not a cave diver. He was a local familiar with the caves who asked britian cave diver experts to come help. He was not an actual cave diver involved in the operation.

Every single journalist called him a "cave diver hero". Every single journalist is writing the COA resigned due to the weed lmao.

The basic logical ordering of events and processing of reality is not even accurate in most of you.

She went to his house and stayed for 2 days, she said he cried a lot and begged the saudis for money over the phone and was unstable. Everyone called her a crazy bitch.

Given the fact that the previous week Elon had cried in an interview, tweeted about begging the saudis for money and then (this week) smoked weed on TV....

I would say that would be like Banks spending the weekend with Hulk Hogan at his house, and then coming out and saying "I saw him lift weights and he ate a hamburger"

Get rid of your cable package, don't go on news sites. Easy.
You know what's fucking crazy? Pre 1980's, people didn't always pay attention to the news. Now we have a goddamn 24 hour news cycle that stops for no man, and is in crisis mode all the time. Either Trump is about to destroy the planet for the Russians or the Globalists are trying to perform blood rituals to turn you into a tranny.
The most lucid sources of information I ever found were people who had very particular interests. Because they care about the actual topic. If any source of information is obviously trying to sell you something, then don't pay attention to it.
If something interests you, research it. But you don't NEED to know what's happening all the time. We're going to end up with a generation of old boomers and adult millennials with GAD because they can't unplug from their 24 hour panic machine of choice, and are constantly hopped up on anxiety.

He's not trying to profit off of colonizing mars in the immediate future, he's trying to use profits from commercial launches now to invest in future projects that he believes will further humanity.

However once they have 50+ ppl on mars he will be running the only company that has the ability to send more people and supplies to the colony, and no one (especially the government) will simply let the mars colony perish. And boom, guaranteed government subsidies if anything ever goes wrong for spacex.

Christopher Columbus had to enslave a few islands worth of Indians to make his trip a worthwhile investment. People hundreds of years later were able to make much greater and more tangible profits on the same trip, thanks to the discovery.

You seem to have this idea that spending X amount of money would be as if we were sending that money to Mars in a special box where it would be removed from the global financial system forever. Any money spent on space exploration is just shuffled around in the economy as it already is. To a detirminable end in fact. Arguing for the conservation of shitty, state backed currencies when you're talking about something as monumental as ape people leaving their home planet is pretty lowbrow.

It's legal to assfuck teenagers. It's legal to cut your own foot off with a hacksaw. But if you had your money invested with a CEO you thought might be mentally slipping, him doing that on camera during an interview in the middle of the day might make you feel like selling

it was a late-night Joe Rogan show, basically it was the exact opposite of a daytime TV interview. People go on that show and get fucked up and tell personal stories and talk about crazy shit. That's the selling point.
