Looking forward to Elon Musk Round 4
thank you for these podcasts! They are such a great window into some incredible people and topics! You're awesome, Lex.
This is the best conversation between two robots that I’ve ever witnessed.

You mean aliens ?
OMFG dude LMAO 😂😂
Brilliant 😊

I find most interviews with Elon incredibly frustrating. Just shallow questions that don’t really do the man’s mind justice. This was great. Good job Lex.
I watch every video you upload keep up the amazing work. Incredibly informative videos!
Whatever you do, don't watch the BabylonBee interview.

@@chiandet Holy hell exactly. I was so frustrated by those jokers. I was impressed by Elon's patience.
@@timothyharrison Same, especially by the end when they un-ironically asked him if he would accept Jesus Christ as his lord and savior.
You gotta love the 20+ second long pauses of Elon diving deep into pondering a question
not really
Every time I thought I lost my connection…
he does that on purpose to look cool
I love Elon's laugh and ability to interject humor into the most serious of subjects. It's refreshing.
Elon's humour is what really sets him apart from just about any other genius that has ever lived.
What a beautiful conversation between 2 Robots

@@Haroldmeganyou don't need to be shocked because i'm also a huge beneficiary of Henne Nate
I'm so happy for taking the bold step in investing with him. What suprises me about him mostly is he gives his clients access to his trading site whereby they can monitor their trades on a daily basis
I loved seeing the clever sense of humor between these two men especially in the very beginning when Lex told Elon to get closer. Lol! I laughed right along with them. Lex really brings out the best in his guests.
It’s a good thing for human to have a good humor to stayed close to your family and friends, together to be laughed, enjoy, with love and happiness, to keep life going forward. Love you all❤.
Lex and Elon for two and a half hours. Dreams do come true!
If you cut out the pauses it goes to 30 minutes :D
Omg 😱 The best of the best. It's delicious for my brain
Late Christmas presents
@@RogerM88 Would rather have tech giants have dreams like that rather than dreams of an oil dependent earth-only based human race that has stupidly high mortality rates in cars.
@@RogerM88 yeah. Its also impossible to fly.
With most other interviewers I feel that I've heard it all and I'm just listening to Elon say things he's said a 1000 times. Not with Lex. His questions really allowed Elon to go deeper and share his thoughts in ways that we would never hear from 99% of other interviews. Thank-you Lex. What a beautiful way to spend the first few hours after midnight on new years day (for me).
Honestly, I was a bit disappointed that the practical questions didn't go deeper. I could've done without the "What is love" and esoteric stuff, which is mostly a waste of time. Save those for Peterson. It's hard enough to find interviews asking deeper engineering, science and production questions with Elon. All we get from the mainstream interviews is the vapid questions meant for people who've only heard of Elon and that he makes cars that magically drive themselves. I'm not ragging on Lex, just that I would've liked to hear more than cursory questions about the actually relevant stuff like Neuralink, Dojo, etc, and less grading memes. I don't care what Elon's favorite colour and lucky number is, or what his definition of "love" is. No, I don't even care what type of society Elon thinks people on mars will form. I'd rather hear what he thinks will be the major engineering challenges utilizing regolith to build infrastructure, or actual practical things like that. Leave the shallow question stuff to the vapid mainstream interviewers. The deep dive into Tesla's self driving software, is what should've happened with the other subjects, but it was still overall a great interview.
Lex's compliment was so nicely worded. 👏 bravo! ❤
Wow! What a great interview. He seemed very comfortable with you. You are a soothing person and he seemed very happy to answer them in depth. (Also, while smiling and genuinely excited. ) Lex, you are a wonderful soul, so kind, I love and respect your mind. I am happy to have you here in the U.S. and privileged enough to support and appreciate this podcast. - JacciRose 💮

@@unabasofia thats the first thing that came to my head when he asked - then when elon said it i literally died lmao
@@alessandrobelottidev so pleasing for my brain
Baby, dont hurt me, no more.
This is the most laid back and relaxed version of Elon I've seen on any podcast.
When Elon is is thinking his eyes dart back and forth.
@@omarb155 ehm no, that's what conmen do when they lie....
@@MrPloopi yes, because a con-man is 🤔 thinking up an answer... fortunately one can think without being devious
I think it is because the robot or alien that he is, he mimics the behaviour and the aura of the one who is in front of him. Lex is as laid back one can be while being productive. Elon just mimicked him 🤷♂️
Because Elon knows Lex is in his element. It's not a foreign place to Musk.
I watched this last night, and I could watch these two talk all night. ❤
The podcast between Lex Fridman and Elon Musk is a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion on a wide range of topics, including artificial intelligence, space exploration, and the future of humanity. One of the most interesting aspects of the podcast is the way that Lex and Elon challenge each other's thinking. Lex is a trained scientist and engineer, and he brings a rigorous and analytical approach to the conversation. Elon, on the other hand, is a visionary entrepreneur with a bold and optimistic view of the future. This combination of perspectives makes for a lively and engaging discussion. One of the key themes of the podcast is the potential of artificial intelligence to both help and harm humanity. Lex and Elon discuss the potential for AI to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, such as climate change and poverty. However, they also acknowledge the risks of AI, such as the potential for job displacement and even existential threats. Another key theme of the podcast is the future of space exploration. Lex and Elon discuss the potential for humans to colonize Mars and other planets. They also discuss the importance of space exploration for scientific research and technological development. Overall, the podcast is a thought-provoking and insightful discussion on some of the most important issues facing humanity today. Lex and Elon are both brilliant and articulate thinkers, and their conversation is a valuable contribution to the public discourse. Here are some of my personal insights on Lex and Elon's thought processes about humanity: Lex is a strong advocate for evidence-based thinking. He is always looking for data and analysis to support his claims. This makes him a valuable voice in the world of artificial intelligence, where there is often a lot of hype and speculation. Elon is a visionary thinker. He is not afraid to dream big and think outside the box. This has made him a successful entrepreneur, but it has also led him to make some controversial statements. I believe that Lex and Elon complement each other well. Lex provides the data and analysis, while Elon provides the vision and inspiration. Together, they are a powerful force for good in the world. I believe that the podcast between Lex and Elon is an important contribution to the public discourse. It is a thoughtful and insightful discussion some of the most important issues facing humanity today. I highly recommend listening to it.
I respect and appreciate Elons moments of pause to think and respond the way he wants, but damn there’s so many times I thought the podcast froze 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Glad I'm not the only one.
Yes, you can only imagine how much thought is happening.... a bit like Dr Strange going through the possibilities
Conman needed time to think about his bullshit.
He is like a computer, gathering data from all hard drive, then process them with ram memory and output an answer simplified so we can understand it ( what conputer generate on the screen for us to see. That itself was impressive. He also rarely seems to contredict or correct his output so well the all process was efficient.
When Elon thinks time stops :)))
Lex is the right person to be interviewing Elon.
Joe is way better
This is much better than the basic bees.
Have you seen Elon Musk meets Post Malone It’s SO funny!!
@@fifaboy9341 Joe ? He just asks chimp-level questions
Asking him for the third time if he is Satoshi is a bit much though. Also, most of the main points on blockchain are missing. (e.g., distributed trust, no central authority, solution to the non trivial byzantine generals problem).
Thank you soooo much for the interview, Lex and Elon!!!! I am using this in my class of "AI Seminar" for my students💚💚💚💚
My 2 favorite minds on one video. I wish I could articulate my thoughts as well as you two! I would put myself out there working towards soooooo many causes!!! I respect the hell out of Elon and Lex for furthering humanities reach into new and exciting directions!!!! We can't survive without men like this steering us into a new world beyond our current abilities to perceive...kudos to you both.
1:22:57 Latency, very helpful word, appreciated
Elon musk is appearing on the pod almost as often as Michael Malice does! Getting my popcorn ready this one is a banger!

I think him smoking with Joe is right up there too haha.
I think it's just two people we really love talking, a lot of what was said wasn't anything new to me but I don't think I cared cause it's two great inspiring people.
@@TheCBDemon he shall now retire to the Drawing Room for some Port.
Surely this is the best Elon's interview so far
The discussion about full self driving was obsoletely fascinating! Great interview! I don't think people realize Tesla has changed their approach to FSD using photons and neural networks just like humans do. Amazing.
I am so jealous of the intelligence and courage of both of these guys.
Elon is proof that money cant fix ignorance. I think the greatest gift Musk has given us is that he has singlehandedly blown open the myth that the rich and powerful people are intelligent and skilled.
Ok Lex, we have something to watch today, thanks!
Right! I go for a 2 to 3hr walk everyday at 2pm and usually throw on the latest Rogan, bur yesterday and today there were no new uploads...then BAM led uploads this and Rogan has a 3.5hr last minute Pod. Stacked for the evening now 👍

Hey everyone, Hey Lex. Thanks for all you do buddy. It’s June 16th, 2023 when I’m writing this. I didn’t watch this video just now, I watched it probably when it first came out. But I was watching the video of Elon on a stage in Paris just now. I just didn’t know how to pass a message through the universe to Elon. I love you man. Thanks for all you’re doing. I get your jokes 😁 even if the Paris crowd doesn’t. That was hilarious! It was even funnier ‘cause no one was laughing while you were. I was laughing bro. 😆 I just cracked up at that Meth joke for about 5 minutes, shaking my dog sitting beside me on the couch, saying “that’s our guy!” I respect you so much and I think of your inspiration like an older brother inspiring me. I respect the search and connection to truth. That’s important to me too. I hope you have an awesome group of friends around you and I hope you stay the course. Thank you so much bro. Love you man. I’m cheering for you. I’m proud of you. All the best. -Lane
I loved how Lex let the interview breathe. The moments of silence (where I had to check to see if the video was buffering or stopped) actually added gravitas to the question and subsequent thoughtful response. It was like Elon was playing out all of the probabilities of his responses before answering. Amazing to watch (and listen!) Way better than the WSJ interview… Keep up the great work!
Respect for Elon’s contribution to our world and history was missing from the WSJ interview.
@JT Raven What is your ideal? Everyone has an equal share of the pie? Which pie? The Stone Age pie, Dark Ages pie, today's pie or tomorrow's pie? If the latter, who will make it?
@JT Raven I'm from France I hear your point but there is also in the silicon valley lot of young people with good motivations .
Elon will often pause to process a question. His mind is doing 100mph at this point.
your comment is 10000% true!!
Nothing is more sincere than a person taking time to ponder a question. It increases the probability that the answer will be useful…and mostly unique. Thanks Lex, thanks again Elon.
Well said that man……..If he is “just” a person that is 🤔🤔!!!!
👏🏻👏🏻🥂
What an absolutely amazing interview. 👏
Lex is a beast, so is elon-i think we should all be thankful that they are trying to help humanity and make the world a better place
I love how Lex gives Elon time to think before answering the question, and that Elon takes time to think before answering. We need more of that.
I concur.
Hear hear!
@@johnsmith1474 what would be your question?
Yeah the signature Elon “Long Pause” 😅. Would like Lex to ask Elon exactly what he’s thinking/processing when he’s going thru his own mind at that 5-10 second moment.
@@rochbrz4105 why cant you give back 🤑 💸💸💰💸💰💸?
I'm still waiting for Elon to conquer the universe so he can focus on less important things, like his own line of colognes called Elon's Musk.
This comment is so underrated 😂
Less important things? How could he do anything less important ?
🤣
No man should have that much power!
If he took the time to produce and sell flamethrowers, he can take the time to hook the boys up with some interplanetary-grade cologne.
Me checking my internet connection every time that Elon makes a 1 min silent pause to organize his ideas 😅, excellent interview.
Just love it! So so many good insights, deep and true quotes for life & mindset and a lot of good and interesting perspectives for the future. Thank you Lex for this podcast and your well chosen questions 🙂greetings and cheers from germany!
Elon is such an extraordinarily busy person, so it means a lot for him to give 2.5 hours of his time to someone. It shows the level of respect that he has toward Lex -- respect that has been well earned.
Exactly!
Scamming people ain’t easy.
@@prof.crastinator Troglodyte.
Exactly... Elon Musk has respect for the Babylon Bee
I've often wondered about that. I think marketing is hugely Important and many entrepreneurs think they are their own best marketers - which they are.
I like how Elon Musk is way more comfortable in this one than the previous ones
kzhead.info/sun/e9Shp8qpaKmCfas/bejne.html
Exactly!
you're without a doubt correct dude
i've noticed hes becoming much more comfortable
Elon has been accepted into the future fascist technocracy so he has nothing to worry about anymore.
I’m glad you gave Tim Dodd (Everyday Astronaut). A mention. Since he spent a lot of time on the Rocket Engine show s he did. They are a terrific combination of shows on Rocket Engines. I recommend them to all with an interest in Rocket Engines. Great show to the two of you. Entertaining.
I love that love is trying to be explained by two robots. 😅 It's like two AIs talking about love.
He seems to open up to you a lot more. Probably because you give him time to think a question through before answering and you don't ask typical stupid questions. Great job man.
Lex does an amazing job interviewing Elon, Tim Dodd is also very good and gives Elon time to think and explain his answers in great detail
I loved those long pauses. Those never happen in common experience and I wish they would.
@@timothyharrison Amen, it shows great intelligence especially in this day an age. He speaks like an old wise man. Pull up a chair, listen and take notes.

Inspiring to listen to someone that is on the same page, way ahead of me, and has actual power and influence to help improve the world for everyone. (I mean Lex Fridman of course. Elon is mildy interesting too.)
Elon mentionning the fuel problems the German had during WW2 reminded me that the Nazis putting their hands on all the fuel they could find in occupy France was one of the reason for french engineer Louis Breguet to create an electric car back in 1941. My grand father had one, I remember seeing it as a kid. I think a few hundred models only were produced. It could go around 50km/hour and travel 100km distance on a charge, and I think it took 24 hours to recharge the battery... no Tesla super charger back then. LOL
Look into wood gasification
@JT Raven Full of archaic bloatware
Electric cars were produced at least 30 years before the French tried.
Holy shit, imagine getting 2 and half hours of one of the busiest man on the planet for your podcast, man. Respect, you totally deserve it!
Busy shit posting
Imagine there are only two people in the world who can pull this off and you're one of them. The other one being Joe.
Babylon Bee did it too
Lex deserves it...but let's be honest, Elon never hesitates to give his time when asked.
I give Elon credit. I do like that he can quote out of pocket things you'd never expect. I enjoy having knowledge someone else doesn't have, and being able to give information on the spot people didn't think I'd know. It must be a good feeling for Elon given he knows quite a lot. He knows a lot more than me that's for sure, but I'll steadily learn and even if I never go as far in life as he did. I can still learn, and share.
Well said. Thank you for the insightful comment!
The funniest forms of satire are the ones that turn into satire as they age but start out super serious.

Loved this interview. I was struck by Elon's advice for life, "Try and be useful." He went on to say that being useful was incredibly difficult. I believe being useful can be simply a state of mind. My daughter manages an AM/PM selling junk food and gasoline. But she is so important for so many people just going through their day. To some many people, filling their tank on the way to work and grabbing a quick cup of coffee and some donuts is such a vital part of their day. My daughter keeps a very clean well stocked store and she is polite and cheerful to everyone she meets. She actually attracts repeat customers. How do I know? Customers have told her so. She is, in short, useful. We all have purpose if we look for it
Your pride in her is sweet. ❤️ Lucky daughter!

Let's see if he quits on China, after his companies end up like this video itself. Banned. As the entirety of KZhead is banned in China. The only reason China lets him operate in the country currently is because they want him to build them a bunch of multi-billion dollar factories, like the one in Shanghai. Then they can just nationalize them all, and get a bunch of free factories for companies controlled by the CCP.

Why have a PhD discussion of Elon doesn't have a PhD.

eventually when everone has self driving cars i dont see how it would be hard to stop crashes its pretty simple if theres some sort of code going on to know where other self driving cars are too how would they collide

Excellent interview as usual Lex...
I like that Elon has no qualms about being silent and deeply thinking through Lex's questions. This also shows Lex's skill in finding questions that even Elon has not previously considered. Keep up the good work Lex! You should drink with Elon next time!
elon thinks for five minutes after joe's stoner questions come on man :DD
I love it too, letting someone get there answer together, makes much more sense than answering half ass.
Like that too though I cannot believe Elon never thought through how long it will be to land on mars. But he might have had to reevaluate due to recent developments
I disagree with the premise but I enjoy constructive comments like these-
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the wonderful life of opportunities we live today. I am sitting near the chimney in a 500 people village in center-south Italy. If the Internet didn't exist the only thing I could have done was probably to be a farmer and sell harvests on local markets, speaking italian dialect with no clue about how the world works. Now I do speak and understand English. I am a computer Scientist and software engineer. I studied physics and I am aware that the life we live today is not magic. The way we control information and excite electromagnetic fields and build on top of that protocols and abstractions and digital circuits and compilers and operating systems and browsers and media and content it just a marvellous engineering effort by the most awesome species ever existed in the universe as far as I know. I am so grateful for being born in the 21st century and have the possibility to learn so much from some of the smartest and thoughtful people in the world. Thanks Elon, thanks Lex.
Amazing story young man, I'm so happy for you but its 4 am and I'm also somehow craving Pizza after reading
Maybe one day earth will be our small village 🙂
An awesome species for sure, living in an awesome time, regardless of the existence of any or many other awesome species.
Couldn't have said it better
Excellent sentiment. I'm always trying to get this point across to my slightly bored science students - if we had the proper perspective then we'd be constantly stunned by the progress our species has made so far.
Thank you for an informative interview. Good job to you both.

Если добавить фильтр в самое начало входных данных, то это значительно облегчит нагрузку на железо и ПО с ИИ будет видеть во фрейме большие цветные квадраты и при неком нестандартном движении в сторону автопилота, от степени скорости размера и направления, увеличивать пиксельную детализацию❤
Lex has been going insane with the guest he’s brought on recently.

It is really fun watching this interview with Elon Musk. Love to see another one with Elon Musk. Earth is very lucky to have such a person like Elon Musk to propel human to a multi-planet species. Excellent interview.
1:40:01 OMG, TIMING! I totaly thought this past night. Amazing to be 1 ahead for once (possibly more).
My vote for "The podcast of the 2021". Such a nice surprise for the holidays. Great timing, great topics and questions. Thank you, Lex! You are getting better and better, man! Oss!
What a time to be alive. Thankyou Lex for this wonderful interview. Please keep these going for years to come, they inspire and are a beacon of knowledge and hope for our times. Thanks again for all your work in this space.
I’m 30 seconds in and I can already tell this is gonna be fun
Then lex is like time to get serious hahaha
🤣
U nailed it!
Elon,when he is comfortable around one of his own.
30 seconds in and Elon is already acting like a dork. Great job guys🤙🏻
27:47 That buffering took a while. Thought that my internet dropped
I love those moments when Elon is just sitting in silence and making calculations in his head to honestly answer the question. It’s fascinating to observe
You can just tell how comfortable Elon is talking with Lex. Absolutely amazing podcast,very informative and thought provoking.
I guess that's what happens when you find someone who can relate to you at that wavelength. Most people don't seem to be interested in Space Rockets or payment systems.
The difference in how he handles these interviews is a completely different level than his first one on JRE. Glad to see the growth.
I love lex but I wanna see musk on JRE again.
Joe should follow lex’s example and get rid of the 5 minutes of ads every 15 minutes on his spotify. I cant he arsed to deal w that

As someone with a little brother that has Asperger's, Elon's ability to socialize and adapt to conversation is nothing short of extraordinary.
What's the grip rating of the tongs
A short summary: - Finishing high stress situations sucessfully you feel more relief than elation - Most difficult problem regarding starship is engine production, right from the materials to design you have to have the best of everything to make the best engine - Mindset of Elon: When something is important enough, you have to get it done. there’s no factor of motivation or anything in order to work on something - Thinking in terms of first principles can be applied to any walk of life, just have an axiomatic base that you believe in and then you reason up from there to cross check your conclusion with the axiomatic truth. - Another mental model of thinking is to take a thing and scale it to a very large or a very small number and see how do things change ( you can use it to scale a product large and see if its still expensive by which you can arrive at an conclusion to work on the design of the product or not) - it's important to think of these things like probabilities, not certainties, there's a probability that something bad will happen on earth. Hence, its best that we work towards making life a multi planetary species - Probably in mars, direct democracy over representational democracy works best! - Helpful to think money in terms of information theory, with fiat currency the error in the database keeps increasing as government tries to print more money, cryptocurrency is an attempt to reduce this error created by the government. - Bitcoin is useful as a store of wealth but not as a day to day currency. Dogecoin could be used as a day to day currency as a fixed number of hash string gets generated every year and inflation reduces over time. - It is possible that satoshi nakamoto is Nick Szabo - Replacing processed images by raw photon inputs from camera and switching more traditional code over the neural network (as it does seem have to hit its global maximum on vector space creation) - Lot of bare-metal coding C/C++ is required for tesla self driving traditonally more on the control part after input has processed - Human robots are a thing, might replace manual un-interesting work. - History is a good way to learn and understand about the nature of civilization and indiviuals - Advice to young people: Try to be useful, ask youself are you contributing more than you consume? To have a net positive contribution to the society would be the right thing to aim for. - Reading a condensed version of the Britannica encyclopedia can be useful. Just read,read as much as you can. - Having a growth of the pie mindset, over thinking in terms of zero-sum game is useful. Usually many people think in terms of zero sum game, but that is rarely the case as the pie gets bigger as more people get involved - Whats the meaning of life? The answer is the universe, now its just a matter of asking the right questions. Elons foundation of philosophy is that he is curious about the nature of the universe. But we will not live forever, hence expanding the scope and scale of consciousness is fundamentally a good thing.
Thanks a bunch
The amount of information condensed into this comment is so impressive
@@KaizenB It gives the viewer a nice summary of what is covered and helps let people know what to expect. I was hoping for Lex to hold Elon accountable for all the people he helped kill and the coups he helped orchestrate in order to capture precious minerals and resources abroad, but it seems like he's being interviewed as a celebrity, not a grossly powerful super-billionaire.
@@drumlessons833 probably bc they are buds
Wow!! Great breakdown of opinion and fact. You should have a your own podcast!! Great content 🙏
Getting Musk to be in the same place for nearly 3 hours is an incredible feat. Keeping engaged with him for that same amount of time is beyond impressive.
Yeah - also imagine how valuable 1 hour of musks time is. But obviously this is a win win for both of them.
Because he has a short attention span?
@@zdravkogeorgiev7201 Because he runs like 4 companies and one of them is one of the largest and fasted growing in the world. He was pretty famous for sleeping at the production line etc. Also his time would just be extremely valuable because one of his hours is probably like a lifetime of work for someone in terms of pay.
I keep coming back to this episode just for the intro 😂
imagine bringing your robot with you in your Tesla, and then visiting your friends house
I think I’ve seen the lion’s share of Elon interviews, and for the last couple of years it’s been sort of like watching an old movie again and again. 80% of the questions he’s been asked have been uninformed or at best old news. This interview, on the other hand, is monumental in the storytelling of Elon; the questions are qualified, relevant, humble, challenging, respectful and full of love. You, dear Lex, are a giant! Thank you for this gem of a conversation 🙏🏻❤️
Or 90% typical interviews hitting on the same talking points. This was 50% or maybe a bit less and in most cases expanded on talking points to some degree with new depth.
Having someone like Lex interview Elon is amazing, 2 people that can actually communicate at a "similar" level. Try getting mass media to even listen to a sentence of this and their heads will explode. Excellent interview.
@@kevooooo how?
@@mauriceschaeffer5070 Ignore the troll. If people can't give any sort of reasoning for their claim then they're not worth listening to.
@JT Raven blabber
This was 2:31:47 of pure enjoyment. 23147 thanks to you and Elon for this mind blowing interview
Lex is in the same league as an interviewer as Elon is as a Technologist. Every word has value. Best interviewer of Elon in my opinion yet
"I dont care about optimism or pessimism.we're gonna get it done." Great quote

It's interesting to see the differences in dialogue between Elon with Rogan & Elon with Lex. Both are great interviewers in their own right, but you can see that Lex is in a better position to understand the complexities of what Elon is breaking down from a technical standpoint. It's clear Elon really enjoys this interview- Lex speaks his language.
Yes I agree. I love Joe but Lex understands Elon better it seems.
@JT Raven me thinks you don’t really care about reality. You only care about how you don’t like the reality you live in and think it must be someone else’s fault that you don’t. Reality doesn’t care about your vision of utopia and I can assure you that if we were all to follow your prescriptions we would end up a lot worse off. Not trying to convince you, only making a statement of my belief as you took the opportunity to do.
asking him about the distant future of tesla bot was such a great question a question Elon hasn't thought of. Such an inspiration Lex!
I recognized how Elon takes a long, thoughtful pause before answering some questions. He understands that his wording could immediately affect his shareholders adversely depending on how interpreted. Accuracy, intent and context are very important.
Lex, one of the best things about your interviews with Elon is your ability to ask him the kinda questions that he normally doesn’t get asked in interviews. Because of your expertise in AI, engineering, robotics, you can really ask the kinda questions most interviewers aren’t able to and it gives Elon the chance to expand on these complex things publicly.
oh yes that is really great for us engineering/science nerds to get the answers we seek
I love how relaxed Elon was during this interview.
because they’re friends

What I find harder on being a multipanetary specie is not actually being able to build rockets that orbits for longer and go faster, but to find the way to be able to stay on a different environment and actually survive.
Will we using the space stations model to gas up during space trips.
I absolutely love it when Elon does the thing where he pauses for 30secs before answering a question - it shows that humans need time to process information, as opposed to providing snap reactions
Yeah, he's thinking a way to bullshit up a response to appear a genius to scientifically illiterate neckbeards. When he's left alone, he reveals his scientific illiteracy.
@JT Raven you think having universal everything will diminish carbon and waste production?? (I hope you want to apply these universal principles globally right...wouldn't be bigoted would you?...spoiler alert, do all that for everyone on planet, while trying to protect environmentand and your standard of living will go to 0)? 😆
When I was younger I used to think that not having an answer immediately made me seem dumb.
@JT Raven good thing it's not up to you to decide how others are allowed to help humanity
"You can't erase history. You can just become better in the future." ~ Lex "That's Beautiful Man" Fridman If most of us tried to be a little better each day, our future will be gold.
When I read you comment, I initially agreed. Then I realized that "better" is subjective. Some people think the world would be "better" without humans. I wish things could be so simple where we could at least agree that "better" is objectively better.
@@Jay-ru3hx Good point. I'll think about it and might post another reply.
@JT Raven I had to scroll for an uncomfortably long time in order to find a comment offering your dose of reality. Thank you for showing me I'm still not alone. His comments about nuclear radiation drove me nuts too. Probably a bad analogy to compare cancerous radiation that drifts in the air and spreads through the plants and animals we eat for upwards of hundreds-thousands of years depending on the type of reactor to sunlight. Pretty sure most people understand the difference between charged particles and photons. People treat the guy like he's the most down to earth dude, but its all-conformity pressure mixing with a nation of pussies. Granted, if I had to pick a favorite billionaire it'd be Musk. But that's like picking a favorite Bond villain.
This was the best discussion/interview i have see with, Elon. Very informative and motivating. Thanks for sharing it .
