Elon Musk: A future worth getting excited about | Tesla Texas Gigafactory interview | TED
What's on Elon Musk's mind? In this exclusive conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Musk details how the radical new innovations he's working on -- Tesla's intelligent humanoid robot Optimus, SpaceX's otherworldly Starship and Neuralink's brain-machine interfaces, among others -- could help maximize the lifespan of humanity and create a world where goods and services are abundant and accessible for all. It's a compelling vision of a future worth getting excited about. (Recorded at the Tesla Texas Gigafactory on April 6, 2022)
Just over a week after this interview was filmed, Elon Musk joined TED2022 for another (live) conversation, where he discussed his bid to purchase Twitter, the biggest regret of his career, how his brain works and more. Watch that conversation here: • Elon Musk talks Twitte...

Despite what the social media and news wants you to think, we can build a great future.
By creating fear one can control a populace easier.
Positive headlines don't get clicks so don't sell advertising.
@@DirtFlyer I’d rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right.
@Natellite yes sir. It seems like so much media and agendas is wanting to tear down everything we have and build it back up with Legos and Play-Doh.
@@DirtFlyer you’re like an anti sheep. You just go the opposite way to feel special. The world is amazing now, we just magnify negativity because people like you love to loath in it.
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?
thats my same tought! this kind of guys makes me want to live longer also!
Elon is 50 and I'm sure he wants to see life on Mars before he dies too
He's just as old as you so I'm sure he is doing the same as you. The best way to help would be go work for him!
Well said, don't forget Elon is only 50 (I'm 59) and he definitely shares those feelings. He will be doing what he can to speed things up.
MY PLAN, I WILL PASS IN A FUTURE YEAR AND GO TO HEAVEN, IN HEAVEN I PLAN ON FILLING OUT THE PROPER PAPER WORK AND CLASSES AND BE BORN ON MARS, TO GIVE ELON A HELPING HAND
This is the best Elon Musk interview I’ve seen. Really nicely done.
I think so too
If you like this one, you should check out the one he did with Don Lemon.
I love this man. I am thankful he does interviews and shares his thoughts.
yes, I do too.
"If you want the future to be good, you must make it so; take action to make it so, and it will be. " 1:06:00 to the end. I love this man for restoring my faith in humanity.
Exactly this. So simple, yet so sincere and profound. Made me tear up.
You do know that Musk says that while not caring about safety issues in Tesla factories causing their Tesla workers to lose their limbs permanently or not carrying out chemical safety classes which caused many workers to lose their eye sight permanently? And yes the kicker is, Musk tried to hide the worker injuries are still continuing to this day despite Musk saying something like he supports free speech. What faith in humanity was there when it requires sacrificing people?
Chills!!
@@DeniseDoradoify me too
Me too!
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.
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). This interview gives me hope and I hope Neuralink will be safe and I hope it will help people who are going through tough times. This was a great interview. Thank you Elon and I hope you succeed!
Such a horrible interviewer, rude at some questions, didn’t let Elon conclude his line of thinking many times and tried to teach Elon about managing his business at some point.
love how he chimes in that elon should consolidate all his companies into one and he is like..ummm ok no.
@@J.R.Fernandes agree
not only that, but the interviewer also had a quite good grasp on the technologies Elon mentioned, with special atention on the self driving AI architectures. Surprised me considering that he's head of TED talks and not a tech guy
The fact is that BTC symbolises the future of cryptocurrency, and traders are wondering if now is the best moment to trade, I feel you should examine the situation more closely before jumping to any conclusion. BTC's price has been fluctuating over the previous days, signaling that the market has become unstable and that is it impossible to anticipate whether it will go bearish or bullish. Others are patient, while others continue to trade with no risk. It all depends on the pattern you're trading and the source of your signal;
A lot of investors has restrained from the market because of the volatile and sudden crashed in the market.but I've learnt to understand that trading is quite different from just holding. There are short sell for bearish and long sell for bullish.
That’s true , I’ve been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now , I started out less than $200k and I’m just $19,000 short of half a million in profits.
Impressive can you share more info?
This is why being informed pays off. I see any market condition as an opportunity, so far i just dollar cost average. I am still in profits even if i decide to sell today as my average is way lower. Kudos to my Portfolio Manager ' LAWRANCE JOSE COLEMAN I don't pay attention to the day to day movements & Returns have been good. Not retiring any time soon so who care what happens today?
Thank you for this. I'm need for proper quidance, found his webpage and dropped some message already..
This interview was amazing and inspiring. How can people not see this man has a point?
They are jealous and afraid of him because he is more intelligent than them.
He actually has many points but obviously most people only see the surface... and care about how rich he has got and the stock of Tesla so.... Anyway he is probably one of the few Billionaires that actually care about the future of humanity and is effectively working everyday for making it better 💪💪🦾🤖
@@IrkusLecuona exactly 💯😁👌
You are in a cult
@@IrkusLecuona - Jealous? A lot probably do. Afraid? Most likely no, not the average person (as the average person has more other day to day worries about). At his game level? Maybe some would be affraid of his investments or something like that, but at the billionare level of playing field - you usually don't see people that are affraid of each other. Compete with each other, or cooperate? Definitely. And there is no question about it, that Elon Musk is one of the people who are a driving force behind some of the technologies, and also early space exploration.
So far this has been one of the best Elon’s interviews, happy that the interviewer is knowledgeable about Musk’s endeavors and questions are somewhat interesting. It shows respect for Elon’s time.
HyperLoop? Tesla Ventilators? Tesla Semi? Tesla Truck? Robo Taxi? Boring brinks? Tesla Sled? Tesla Pod? Tesla Bot? Armor glass? Solar powered MegaChargers? SolarCity Solar Roof Tiles? Tesla buy out of SolarCity? Market manipulation? Insane data mining of Tesla drivers? Sells pollution for profit? Never worked for PayPal? Corporate welfare at taxpayer expense? Selling 2021 cars with 2017 batteries? Elon Musk is like Elizabeth Holmes but he hasn't been caught yet.
He did the previous Ted talk with him
Honestly this is hands down one of the best discussions I’ve seen in a long time!
This interview was awful lol
Yeah, and I like how he also challenged what Musk was saying at times unlike some of the other interviewers.
This was the most important video to watch this year. The pessimism and non action circulating in today's culture has kept us back from a bigger vision and enthusiasm for the future. Let's go claim a better future together.
Yeah, nuclear war is our future, thanks to russian nazis...
Nah the kurzgesagt one was better
@@xellent They were both good and different.
@@favesongslist I agree I’m part of gen Z and everyone is very pessimistic about our future, I hope these videos reached some of those people.
Do you see a better future in putting a microchip in your brain, in having robots everywhere? I don't. It's a terrifying dystopia.
Elon, thank you for what you have done and are currently doing. Thank you, sincerely
Even when these companies fail, it will just pave the way for new idea's and concepts. Thought and effort is the key. Mr. X
One thing I like about Elon Musk is his honesty. "I don't wanna blow your mind, but I'm not always right." Great humility in there.
A $32,000 profit sent to my portfolio each week, mrs glad Remirez mendy is Amazing!!!!!!
@@incomebaba4100 get back on your corner.
Honest, like failing to disclose his ownership stake in Twitter, effectively stealing $150 million in shareholder value, which he is now being sued for.
@@DZ-yk2ew 😂 He now owns Twitter so it really doesn’t mean much. Btw, the SEC has targeted him many times for dumb stuff like that. The government isn’t dumb, they are fully aware as to what they are doing
@@jimmy79889 it still matters, Elon will likely lose the lawsuit and have to pay up. Norms still matter, and this pattern of behavior will reap what it sows.
Definitely the best interview so far. The interviewer was very respectful of Elon and structured his questions in an unbiased way. Very very refreshing!!
Unbiased because he spoke a lot and said not much at all
I never thought I'd see the day when someone takes more time talking than Elon
Such a horrible interviewer, rude at some questions, didn’t let Elon conclude his line of thinking many times and tried to teach Elon about managing his business at some point.
And he is knowledgeable, which is very helpful.
Best interview so far 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲 he hardly said any sentence without u h uh uh. And then change of direction, and wtf did he ever achieved with tesla?! Space X is just a bought investment. He is just the 👱🏻♂️ showboy
My love Elonye I have no words to hawmuch I love ❤️ 💕 ♥️ you I appreciate all you do for me and the world you are so loving genius I owe my life to you
Great to see your update to all your projects, always make people inspired or jealous, that’s just ordinary people thinking., but without your new technology,how can we make our people going to those levels, you did best you can to make world peace and bring lots hope to humanity.
Props to Chris Anderson and the rest of the TED team. This is such a great interview. All questions are well curated; well researched. Execution is perfect. Held Elon accountable as necessary but at the same time gave him time to explain. TED talks with Elon will go down in history for sure.
Would not shock me if future generations look back in awe after we reach many of his goals. Elon is one of a kind. Most bilionares do jack all with their lives, he has a purpose and he even knows time is running out. He is 50 at this point-
Exactly my thought! He asked all the right questions. The tone of the entire interview was respectful and informative as it should be.
He absolutely did a great job. Shoutout Elon for spending his time to do this. In this critical hour he could of solved many problems. He is either the anti christ or Christ like… Giving hope in a tech world where most stopped using then Jesus for hope.. 2029 is going to be biblical. Interesting at the beginning of the interview was talks about the future and hope. (There’s some type of reset happening) Elon pulls out his mason gesture between his legs and flexes in his mind… “I know what’s coming this is why I’m doing what I do@
💯 leadership at its best.
Best username ever
Interviewer is clearly passionate about the topics. Good questions, good conversation, and good interview. Thank you for this.
A news host spoke so highly of this💕 Christine Lynn Saitta and her loss prevention strategies been trying to get to her ever since didn’t know she was so accessible
@@rajeshupadhyay5683i just lookup her name and found her accreditation, qualifications on FINRA and SEC, she seems really solid. I leave her a mail on her webpage🙏
Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future
Thank God for Elon Musk an his Wisdom an Confiendece in our New World an new lifestyle... You are admired by me Sir...thank you for you comiitment to Human Kind..amen ..God's speed son...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What about admitting energy through the air like Tesla had spoken about so many years ago at 432 Hz Either pulling the energy directly from the atmosphere and re-distributing it as a pulse through the air that can then charge batteries indefinitely as storage and for usage
If the earth had to have a president to rep our world in a cosmic scale this guy would have to be a candidate!
I am enjoying your interview. So interesting Elon. You are a very positive person. I find you an amazing person.
The only person that makes you excited about the future!
So true, I ask people who doesn't follow Elon Musk what they are excited about for the future, they reply nothing and has a pessimistic view on life. I used to be the same until I start following Elon's companies.
Haha so true. We are so emboriled in the current affairs that I almost see nothing about how exciting future can be, but all the pessimistic outcomes.
and then, Skynet came online
🌱SO TRUE🌱
If this clown makes you excited of the future, then you have no personal ambitions.
His message, right at the end, was simple, poignant and to-the-point ..."if you want the future to be good, make it good! Take action"
Most great advices are simple
Elon said that to young generations, but to think about it, young generations mostly don't have the power to change the world to something good, Innit?
He also (seriously) endorsed Kanye West’s campaign for president.
he's the main one who can make it happen, in terms of influence and money. but he chooses leaving this planet and exploitation. how about decent pay?
@@fogfestival It's not 'leaving the planet' lmao it's colonizing another, huge difference. Decent pay? Have you *ever* researched anything you blindly claim?
My experience with FSD Beta in a 2020 Model 3 Performance is that it's still not perfect but it's good enough to do about 80% of my driving. I still have to pay attention and take over sometimes but most of the issues are just annoying rather than dangerous. Some would be dangerous if I completely stopped paying attention. It's not good on undivided highways. In that situation, tends to think that a new lane of traffic is opening up every time a turn lane appears so it still changes into it even though I'm trying to continue straight. Until a couple of months ago it took a lot of unnecessary turns. That's rare now. Sometimes it's too cautious so it has trouble catching an exit in time or is slow to leave a stop so I have to hit the accelerator a little. It shows extreme promise and does seem to be on the path to be dramatically better than any other similar product available. The fact that it will work anywhere without premappng or other conditions for use (like the Mercedes system that's called Level 3 but can only drive on premapped highways up to 45 miles per hour) is huge. It should also be noted that an idiot tried to force his way in front of me going left as I went straight 2 months ago and caused some pretty bad front end damage. It took until a week ago for Tesla to take my car in for repair but my car continued to drive very well with Full Self Driving anyway. I happened to not be using FSD when I was hit. I was crossing a divided highway and I was already almost to the divider looking right to monitor the opposite side of traffic when he slammed into me. I would have noticed him in time to stop if I hadn't been looking right so had I been using FSD the accident would have likely been averted since it would have seen him making his moronic move in time to stop.
Thanks for the excellent conversation interview.
For a guy who's time is so valuable, he was extremely generous with it here. We need more people like him.
He is helping humanity progress faster than any government in the world
How could his time be better spent than to share his progress with us? At least that is how he sees it which is why he is changing the world.
The man trolls people on twitter, I think he has more time than think.
I think everything he does is very well thought through. Taking the time to explain the world what he is doing is like a shield against bad media.
People as in AI!? I see what you did there! 🤬😰
We need to literally protect Elon at any and all cost
He should have Secret Service protection.
To think that he followed Amber Heard home in the past…who is choosing girlfriends and wives for him? Someone needs to protect him, I am sure.
He was severely bully as a child. He needed protection then.
Maybe you could apply to be in Elon's brown shirt squad that silence all of his critics!! Heil Elon!!

"If you want the future to be good, you must make it so." I love that quote.
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.
Make it so number 1
I loved that one too. It's enough for have an important and useful life meaning
How about in order for the future to be good, the rich must pay their taxes just like everybody else, and they must stop corrupting politics all around the world. How about we start with those fundamentals instead of making a billionaire into some kind of holy deity.
but he's making the future bad, so what he says is irrelivant, focus on his actions, not his empty words
I feel more intelligent after watching this ! Very skillful interviewer, and as for Elon, I'm not sure how he keeps all those plates spinning ; for me he is the most interesting person alive. Man of the century !
So the guys who actually found the cure for ebola and all must be dummies.
Carbon capture technology is indeed one of the current hot spots in scientific research, and perhaps humans can actually achieve carbon reversal.
Lens and watch cannot synchronize while capturing an image/video?
"Well, I think if you want the future to be good, you must make it so. Take action to make it good, and it will be."
This is really well researched and I enjoy the interviewer asking interesting questions.
I agree with you. When i come across someone who can interview the way he does and the questions he is asking I realise the potential. I find Elon Musk intriguing .
Comeonn…. That’s his only job..hahaha if you are about to interview the richest person in the world you better do some research and ask some stuff that people haven’t asked yet. We give to many props for doing the bare minimum

This is one of the best elons interview i have seen in a long time. Outside of all the crazy stupid jokes and in the midst of all the negativism, this man gives me hope. I feel like in one way or other i can do something at my own scale atleast even if i get backlash.

@@kevintrye7605 i km o
Thank them for what exactly? Elon is a MASSIVE emitter of carbon, and he is a massive destroyer of ecology, like any fucking corporate owner, no matter if what they pump out of the factory has "green" on the box. He is not the solution to our problems, he is an example of the fucking problem, that being perpetual growth capitalism in complete fucking defiance of the immutable physics of a finite world. The reason our species is coming to an end is because of morons like you who give people legitimacy based on their bank balance and vocabulary alone, allowing them to get to high places where they bend governments to their rich minorities will.
The interviewer talks more than Elon Musk. Not sure how it can be a masterpiece.
I'll retain two answers that really blowed my mind like never : 59:59 « Every high-quality minute of thinking is a million dollars impact on Tesla » 1:02:33 « If you care about the reality of goodness instead of the perception of it, philanthropy is extremely difficult » Thank you so much for the quality of this interview. The questions were on point, and to me, Elon enjoyed it as much as we did.
True. If you're a lemming.

Thank you Elon for all that you do and I’m excited for what the future will bring. Have a great one. - Blake
This is great way to starting, you may review anything, anytime you want. Great thinking to make over millions people to Mars, look how many youths you talk to, that is connection, often reminds or review, which is the best strategy for make great business. Nothing is happen overnight.
"If you want the future to be good you must make it so, take action to make it so and it will be" perfect way to end an excellent interview

@@ahpuch2236 it was still very interesting
Why didn't he ask if Elon will leave with the first 1000 ships!!!
@@ahpuch2236 what would you have asked einstein
@@jeoboden In previous interviews Elon has said that he doesn't care to be the first man/or in the first few ships on Mars, and would rather keep working on earth. That he would go to Mars in his later years and want to die there. (I'm sure you can look it up)
I love his closing line, "Take action to make it good, and then it will be." So many people get this wrong. We're in a generation full of people who complain about everything as if it's beyond them, rather than forging themselves into the solution to the problems that keep them up at night. I wish more people followed this advice. Be the change you want to see in the world. It's so simple. Stop whining and get to work.
👆 THIS 💯
Yep
And Elon knows this. Hence why he has zeroed in one one of our main achilles heels at the moment; Twitter. This emerging technology and it's tendency to cater to the worst of human nature is preventing us from even having reasonable conversations about these solutions.
Easier said and done but so true
There's such a thing as ignorance. People are constantly taking action, but they're not taking the right ones because idiots keep giving stupid advice.
He’s a beautiful creature
What an incredible interview ever seen by me. ELON really i adore you towards what spaceX and you're doing for humanity philanthropically. Great and super excitable vision for FUTURE and yeah our FUTURE is bright so bright for those who indeed have understood the deep meaning of this line. It will be so enormously excitable to wake up in the morning with being cognizant of that we're gonna build something new and incredible! THE FUTURE WORTH GETTING EXCITED ABOUT.🚀
Can we just give incredible kudos to this interviewer? Such an awesome interview!
Agreed he did a great job.
Tbh jow rogan asks far more interesting questions
I disagree, he talked way too much. I heard more from him than Elon, and he never gave Elon the time to think and finish his point, he constantly wanted to say something back instead of listen.
@@Ari-lu5ve this what I looking for, he did go on crazy tangents but it was not a bad interview. Good questions just incredibly long and murky
@@Ari-lu5ve anyways both were decent just my opinion
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 .
Elon Musk is not a white knight.
@@ThisIsDemocracy 👍 no he's definitely not , I haven't seen his armor , poke stick or his horse 😜
@@ThisIsDemocracy What do you mean by that?
@@StardropSmoothie lmao you are delusional
@@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.
SOUNDS GREAT.Agree to.Stay tuned of course.Thank you very much.
One more point here, each landing of men and materials to other worlds sets the stage for vastly much greater space Xploration. Mr. X

Watching this again a year later is even more impressive for many reasons.
5-10% any buyers to buy NOW? who and for how much?
5:00 love it that he doesn't insist on being correct but invites others to the conversation. Go Elon
Best Elon interview I've ever seen, a very relaxed Elon, Chris was excellent and stayed away from the really depressing areas that Elon find hard to shake and move on from during an interview and the future really is bright. Don't let the doomsday crowd get you down. IMO anyone having watched this interview, still talking bad about Elon has an ulterior motive.
The censorship gang
Elon Musk is the best 👌 pure genius! He is so great at being interviewed! I am thankful for all he does to help our future with his gift!
I gota say... He's talks so simply. He logically guides you through his reasoning... Other CEOs usually just say generic bullet points about their products. He's explains his fundamental logic.
autistics generally have considered logic in their reasoning
Great and inspiring interview with an interviewer that goes beyond asking the obvious questions. Showing these things to my kids to inspire them, ‘If you want a good future, go out and make it so.’ A very simple but very powerful and actionable message. Thanks Elon for providing hope and inspiration to humanity!
Impressive mind. Impressive follow through. 👍
I brought this up in your last interview together... You can look it up. When you're talking about batteries. Tell the whole story! End-to-end! What does a battery cost, what's its LIFE EXPECTANCY, how is it created, WILL IT CATCH ON FIRE, how much does it weigh and does that affect the life of your tires and other factors?
thank you!!! and thank god we live in this era along side Mr. Elon Musk
Next Nicolas telsa
You know when your looking at someone alive and you know people will know their name in a 1000 years time, its like watching Julius Caesar ..it amazes me to be in this same time with such a man, to watch him work, try and understand how he thinks... sorry iv always been a fan boy, I make no apology.
So am I one day I hope to get a tesla but I think what he has achieved is amazing
Parasocial
You are accurate my friend... Elon is next level human... I follow him closely and appreciate his work
It truly is a miracle ❤️❤️
The cult is out in force! Maybe Elon will also sanction the worship of himself as did Caesar.
TED thank you!
I think this was an incredible interview. So much value for 1 hour. Intellectually dense and yet easy to consume.
One of the best Elon Musk interviews ever. The interviewer asked great pointed questions. He definitely did all his homework.
I second that, this was a fantastic interview with him.
I agree. Chris Anderson btw, is the founder of Ted. :D
Bro, this guy interviewing him is a legend in his own right.
its about fear and respect. the people respect elon must thus he has no fear in the public space. bill on the other hand...
@@cagneybillingsley2165 dafuq?
the editor did not handle that adjustment layer well lol
What a gift is to be able to live life at the same age of this human.
Cult behavior detected.
Never thought I could just sit on my chair and watch an interview for a whole hour without being distracted. This was incredibly interesting.
Everything you do is amazing and exciting I can't wait to join you
'I think this is the year' "1 year ago" 😅
Respect for Chris Anderson, he makes the talk pretty interesting, absolutely great job.
the person it is interviewing it is always the most important factor
disagree...
@@ereadn disafree
@@chillydoog lol
Is he down syndrome? That was very hard to watch.
It is the best interview I have seen from Elon, it leaves a great feeling. Elon is a great visionary with an inspiring and authentic cause. Thanks TED for this!
@Mother Goosekeeper of course are many other problems, and are many other people suffering, nobody have the same opportunities but we need to try to do our part too and take action where we can. I think that and I respect your opinion too.
@@dillingerraggio3437 don’t mind that mindless piece of garbage
Any idea of service centre for break and battery at night
What a great statement to end on 😊
"If you want the future to be good, make it good. Take action" Absolutely beautifully and simply said
'And mine Lithium and kill millions of africans" oh sorry thats not a quote it's just what Elon does
And he's right! I'm gonna get on twitter right now and talk to people about genders, race and sexual orientation. I'm doing my part!
@@F4c2a lmao!! Exactly!
I love how the video starts😂 He asks Elon how he’s doing, and Elon politely answers and returns the question and the interviewer completely ignores him
And then they label Elon as awkward...
😔😔
Haha he's just clearly excited to start the convo ;)
Most people nowadays do never ask in return, let alone reply in return. World is full of idiots, sadly.
typical for british ppl
Agreed, overthinking is a procrastination, and timing is in question!
Metallurgy do you manipulate strengths or cold roll
Thank you for making this available on KZhead, TED.

"If you want the future to be good, you must make it so." - Elon Musk
by harassing workers who want to unionize, by sending workers to their deaths just so the production doesn't stop during covid lockdowns. If this man will shape our future, he will be a despot on Mars. He can gladly die there on his barren rock. I will not miss him.
If you want the future to be good, you musk make it so.
Good old-fashioned luck stories is what gives people hope when all hope is lost. It is what makes them try that last "wont-work" action that saves the entire mission. A good luck story is good superstition. It is the opposite of a dead albatross at sea.
Mr.Elon... You are our,Myanmar's Hero. Thanks a lot for yr help.
Hopefully amongst the people in the comments, and those watching this video, we'll have other individuals ready and willing to build towards a better future for themselves and others. Don't leave Elon to have all the fun lol.
You can totally imagine seeing this video in a museum in 30 years and people will struggle to remember what life was like before we had cheap and unlimited energy, robot helpers, self-driving cars and rockets that take us anywhere in the planet in 30 minutes.
And the museum is also on Mars, honestly can't wait to see what they can accomplish
@@breandanhamon1243 I think this is the best comment-reply combination I have ever come across on the internet
And this is when the megalomaniac billionaire was trying to organize a hostile takeover of a media company in order to install a fascist ex-POTUS back on Twitter. I’m sure this will age like all his other interviews, but it’s purpose is served in convincing lemmings that he actually cares about the future.
@@breandanhamon1243 Mind blowing! I love it!
If only.
'Elon Musk thank you for all this time that is a beautiful place to end. Thank you for all that you are doing...
Great interview ! Hope all your dreams come through.
Not only a fascinating, intelligent interview, but also a sorely needed dose of optimism!!! (... for me, at least)
Somebody give this man a Twiiter!
Well said
you are like these women, who like to be lied to
@@igninis and you are like those cynical sexist swine, who weren't hugged enough as children. shall we continue to make virtually baseless assumptions about each other? I'm occasionally bored enough for that.
sad considering the stuff elon pumps out 99% of the time is crap
This man talks in details with all terminologies related to engineering, AI, space technology and biology. I haven't seen any businessman talking in so much details covering such a wide variety of disciplines. Thanks to Chris Anderson for such a structured interview.
He is a mechanical and software engineer first, like Bill Gates, before becoming an entrepreneur. Never delve into anything until you are a world class expert on it. Steve Jobs was an exception to that rule.
@@leechap3 elon is 10x smarter than bill gates and 10000x better as a person
@@mattbrew11 Have you even the remotest idea of the philanthropic work that The Gates Foundation has done? I don't suppose you do.
@@leechap3 you mean like killing untold thousands in africa will various vaccine programs? Yep im 100% aware. Landing one single rocket on mars will yield hundreds of thousands of times more benefit to humanity than bill gates buying up water rights all over the US has ever and could ever do
@@leechap3 I agree that Bill Gates is doing lots of philanthropic work which are also very technical and detailed. I am not comparing Elon with Bill, I cant even imagine doing that. However, Elon is transforming the science and economics that we know today. Nobody believed that apart from NASA and any other govt. agencies, a young guy can think of building rockets and then reusable rockets. There might be many who are working on electric cars and AI, but he was the first one who cracked the economics and had guts to go-ahead when no one wanted to. Having such detailed understanding of product and economics help him to take such risks, i guess.
Elon is an inspiration to all humanity. I love this guy. God bless him x
💐💜 great speech and debate and happiness love forever 💜💐
great interview and exciting updates from Elon! 😎🙌
We're still talking about wind, solar, nuclear power and batteries...We need smarter people.
@@reducecotwo that are not evil like elon muskrat
@@dr.chonki4922 Please!
@@dr.chonki4922 what makes you think elon is evil? And did you feel the need to make fun of his name to prove your point? I think toxic ppl like you are the muskrats of this world
@@reducecotwo you seem to imply that youre smarter than these people. Why dont you tell us what we should be talking about?
I think this is the best interview with Elon we have on record. Thanks Chris - you nailed it for TED.
Chris was the worst interviewer. Constant interruptions. Watch him slowly fade away during Elon's answers as his mind wonders to the next question.
@@anypercentdeathless I agree with the interruptions and the quick question jumps, but I think it may have been due to time constraints. Although it seemed Elon was ready to go much more in depth with some of his answers.
It's amazing interview,great Elon think in they future humanity, amazing interview,thanks for sharing your knowings
I love Elon ❤️ Musk
This has to be the best interview of Elon. And much to the credit of the interviewer for asking great questions and being educated on Elon's endeavours.
