We've been quiet for quite a while, for different reasons, but here we are again---and with a controversial subject, as usual:

1.
“One day when I was young, my parents warned me against playing with fire. So I took a box of matches behind a tree and started lighting them.”
2.
“If the rules are such that you can’t make progress, then you have to fight the rules.”
Elon Musk
3.
“When I ask for something, you fucking give it to me.”
4.
“I’m the alpha in this relationship.”
5.
“If I don’t make decisions, we die.”
6.
“We need to expand the scope and scale of consciousness so that we’re better able to understand the nature of the universe and understand the meaning of life.”
7.
“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is one of my favorite books. It’s a book on philosophy disguised as a book on humor. And I would say that forms the basis of my philosophy.”
8.
“I think what Douglas Adams was saying is that the universe is the answer, and what we really need to figure out are what questions to ask.”

“Is it better to live in a world where everyone is happy all the time, even if that happiness is artificial? Do you wish for world peace and happiness all the time? Are you sure?”

“I wonder why hate evolved. I’m not saying we should amplify hate, of course. I think we should try to minimize it. But none at all? Hmm. There might be a reason for hate.”
11.
“If you don’t regret anything, was anything meaningful?”
12.
“There are only a handful of really big milestones: single-celled life, multicellular life, differentiation of plants and animals, life extending from the oceans to land, mammals, consciousness. On that scale, the next important step is obvious: making life multiplanetary.”
Elon Musk
13.
“So, how do we figure out how to take you to Mars?”
14.
“My biggest concern is our trajectory. Are we on a trajectory to get to Mars before civilization crumbles?”
15.
“I mean, civilization could die with a bang or a whimper, you know? If it dies of demographic collapse, then it’s more of a whimper, obviously. But if it’s World War III, it’s more of a bang.”

“I really don’t have any other motivation for personally accumulating assets except to be able to make the biggest contribution I can to making life multiplanetary.”

“I am by nature obsessive-compulsive. In terms of being an asshole or screwing up, I’m personally as guilty of that as anyone.”
18.
“The amount that I torture myself is next level, frankly.”
19.
“I mean, my mind is a storm, and I don’t think most people would want to be me. They may think they would want to be me, but they don’t.”
20.
“What matters to me is winning, and not in a small way. God knows why.”
21.
“… probably … some very disturbing psychoanalytical black hole or neural short circuit.”

“It would certainly be accurate to say that I did not have a good childhood.”

“It was like misery.”

“My dad is an extremely talented electrical and mechanical engineer.”
Elon Musk

“He was such a terrible human being.”
27.
“I had to stand for an hour as he yelled at me and called me an idiot and told me that I was just worthless.”

“For a number of years, there was no respite. You get chased around by gangs at school who tried to beat the shit out of me, and then I’d come home, and it would just be awful there as well. It was just like nonstop horrible.”
31.
“Ever since I was a kid, if I start to think about something hard, then all of my sensory systems turn off. I can’t see or hear or anything. I’m using my brain to compute, not for incoming information.”
32.
“Maybe I read too many comics as a kid.”
33.
“They’re always trying to save the world, with their underpants on the outside of these skin-tight iron suits, which is really pretty strange when you think about it. But they are trying to save the world.”
34.
“I thought about the things that will truly affect humanity. I came up with three: the internet, sustainable energy and space travel.”
35.
“I want the future to look like the future.”

Elon Musk

“If there was a way that I could not eat so I could work more, I would not eat. I wish there was a way to get nutrients without sitting down for a meal.”

“Vacations will kill you.”

“People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves. It only improves if a lot of people work very hard to make it better.”

“I’m a big believer that a small number of exceptional people who are highly motivated can do better than a large number of people who are pretty good and moderately motivated.”
44.
“There are a ton of phonies out there, and not many who are the real deal. I can usually tell within 15 minutes, and I can for sure tell within a few days of working with them.”
45.
“I believe in a strict meritocracy. Whoever is doing great work, they get more responsibility.”
46.
“We are not shooting for the moon. We are shooting for Mars. A maniacal sense of urgency is our operating principle.”
47.
“The likeliest outcome is that I will lose all my money. But what’s the alternative? That there be no progress in space exploration? We’ve got to give this a shot, or we’re stuck on Earth forever.”
48.
“So it took me a few years to kind of learn rocket science, if you will.”

“… can you believe that thing, or something like it, is going to take people to another planet for the first time in 4.5 billion years? I mean, probably. It may not work. But it probably will.”
52.
“And we should just keep doing it or die trying.”
Elon Musk
53.
“Optimism, pessimism, fuck that. We’re going to make it happen.”

“Being with me was choosing the hard path.”

“If somebody is getting stuff done, then great, I love them. And if they are not, then I don’t like them. I do not love them.”
58.
“If you don’t improve, your resignation will be accepted. This meeting is over. Done.”
59.
“I give people hardcore feedback, mostly accurate, and I try not to do it in a way that’s ad hominem. I try to criticize the action, not the person.”
60.
“Physics does not care about hurt feelings. It cares about whether you got the rocket right.”

“I was told by everyone that you do not sue NASA. I was told the odds of winning a protest were less than 10 percent, and you don’t sue your potential customer. I was like, look, ‘This is messed up. This should have been a competed contract, and it wasn’t.’”

“This is how civilizations decline. They quit taking risks. And when they quit taking risks, arteries harden. Every year there are more referees and fewer doers. When you’ve had success for too long, you lose the desire to take risks.”
66.
“The United States is literally a distillation of the human spirit of exploration. This is a land of adventurers.”
67.
“Boeing and Lockheed just want their cost-plus gravy trains. You just can’t get to Mars with that system. They have an incentive never to finish. If you never finish a cost-plus contract, then you suckle on the tit of the government forever.”
Elon Musk
68.
“Our toughest competitor on the international launch market is the Russians, and the U.S. Air Force sends them hundreds of millions of dollars every year for Russian engines. I mean, what the fuck, you know?”
69.
“I’ve spent a lot of time in China and met with the leadership many times. … The sheer number of really smart, hardworking people in China is incredible. There’s far more of them there than there are here, in my opinion. And they’ve got a lot of energy.”

“The Olympics would be boring if everyone just crossed the finish line at the same time. Nobody would watch. And people wouldn’t try hard to run fast and stuff. So I think friendly competition is a good thing.”

“To have a base on Mars would be incredibly difficult, and people will probably die along the way, just as happened in the settling of the United States. But it will be incredibly inspiring, and we must have inspiring things in the world.”
73.
“Mars is not super hospitable. It’s the least inhospitable planet, but it’s definitely a fixer-upper of a planet.”
74.
“It would be a new frontier and an opportunity to rethink the whole nature of government, just as was done in the creation of the United States. So, I would suggest having direct democracy, like people vote directly on things, as opposed to representative democracy. Representative democracy is too subject to a special interest and a coercion of the politicians and that kind of thing. I’d recommend that there’s just direct democracy — people vote on laws and then the laws must be short enough that people can understand them.”
75.
“I think Mars itself will need to have a different currency because you can’t synchronize due to the speed of light. … because Mars’ closest approach is four light minutes away, roughly, and then at furthest approach, it’s roughly 20 light minutes away. So you can’t really have something synchronizing if you’ve got a 20-minute speed of light issue, if it’s got a one-minute blockchain. It’s not going to synchronize properly. I don’t know if Mars would have a cryptocurrency as a thing, but probably it would be some kind of localized thing on Mars.”

“We’re establishing a cargo route to Mars. It’s a regular cargo route. You can count on it. It’s going to happen every 26 months. Like a train leaving the station.”

“I wouldn’t characterize it as a vision or a dream. It’s simply that there are two massive revolutions in the automobile industry. One is the transition to electrification. And the other is autonomy. And it became obvious to me that in the future any car that does not have autonomy would be about as useful as a horse. Which is not to say there’s no use, it’s just rare and somewhat idiosyncratic if somebody has a horse at this point. It’s just obvious that cars will drive themselves completely. It’s just a question of time.”

“This is where the world is going. Let’s push ourselves there.”

“Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to production hell!”

“I look forward to working alongside you, journeying through hell. As the saying goes, ‘If you’re going through hell, just keep going.’”

“Step one should be to question the requirements. Make them less wrong and dumb, because all requirements are somewhat wrong and dumb. And then delete, delete, delete.”
82.
“Extrude shit out of the system.”
83.
“Unless a sensor is absolutely needed to start an engine or safely stop an engine before it explodes, it must be deleted.”

“You have 72 hours to remove every unnecessary machine.”
85.
“I don’t do focus groups.”

“I do think it’s worth thinking about whether what you’re doing is going to result in disruptive change or not. If it’s just incremental, it’s unlikely to be something major.”

“Anyone at Tesla can and should email/talk to anyone else according to what they think is the fastest way to solve a problem for the benefit of the whole company. You can talk to your manager’s manager without his permission, you can talk directly to a VP in another dept, you can talk to me, you can talk to anyone without anyone else’s permission. Moreover, you should consider yourself obligated to do so until the right thing happens. The point here is not random chitchat, but rather ensuring that we execute ultra-fast and well. We obviously cannot compete with the big car companies in size, so we must do so with intelligence and agility.”

“No. No. NO. No mirrors, no pedals, no steering wheel.”

“Let me be clear. This vehicle must be designed as a clean Robotaxi. We’re going to take that risk. It’s my fault if it fucks up. But we are not going to design some sort of amphibian frog that’s a halfway car. We are all in on autonomy.”

“Physics is the law, everything else is a recommendation. I’ve seen plenty of people break the laws made by man, but none break the laws made by physics.”

“I’m the law.”

“Comradery is dangerous. It makes it hard for people to challenge each other’s work. There is a tendency to not want to throw a colleague under the bus. That needs to be avoided.”

“The reason I did the Twitter acquisition was not because I thought this would be some lucrative goldmine, and in fact, it has been arduous and difficult with being dumped on every day. That’s not the most fun thing in the world. But if we do not have a strong foundation of free speech, I fear for the future of civilization.”

“I can’t just sit around and do nothing. With AI coming, I’m sort of wondering whether it’s worth spending that much time thinking about Twitter. Sure, I could probably make it the biggest financial institution in the world. But I have only so many brain cycles and hours in the day. I mean, it’s not like I need to be richer or something. So what should my time be spent on? Getting Starship launched. Getting to Mars is now far more pressing. Also, I need to focus on making AI safe. That’s why I’m starting an AI company.”
128.
“What actions can we take to minimize AI danger and assure that human consciousness survives?”
129.
“I think we want to be very careful in how we develop AI. It’s a great power and with great power comes great responsibility. I think it would be wise for us to have at least an objective third party who can be like a referee.”
130.
“I think the best defense against the misuse of AI is to empower as many people as possible to have AI.”
131.
“Well, yes, I am pro-human. I fucking like humanity, dude.”
132.
“Our goal is to make a useful humanoid robot as quickly as possible. This means a future of abundance, a future where there is no poverty.”
133.
“If we’re able to produce a general-purpose robot that could observe you and learn how to do a task, that would supercharge the economy to a degree that’s insane. Then we may want to institute universal basic income. Working could become a choice.”

“We can reprogram robots easier than we can reprogram humans.”

“I think AI will be capable of convincing you to fall in love with it very well. You know, we start getting into a metaphysical question of, ‘Do emotions and thoughts exist in a different realm than physical?’ And maybe they do, maybe they don’t, I don’t know. But from a physics standpoint, if it loves you in a way that you can’t tell whether it’s real or not, it is real. If you cannot prove that it does not, if there’s no test that you can apply that would allow you to tell the difference, then there is no difference.”

“I would say that I would be probably left of center on social issues, probably a little bit right of center on economic issues. But I think that’s probably half the country, isn’t it?”

“Wokeness wants to make comedy illegal, which is not cool. Do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation and hate and no forgiveness? At its heart wokeness is divisive, exclusionary and hateful. It gives mean people a shield to be mean and cruel, armed with false virtue.”

“We should have some sympathy for the Russian boys as well as the Ukrainian boys, because Russian boys, because boys didn’t ask to be on their frontline. They have to be. So there’s a lot of sons not coming back to their parents, and I think most of them don’t hate the other side. It’s sort of like this saying from World War I: ‘Young boys who don’t know each other killing each other on behalf of old men that do know each other.’ What the hell’s the point of that?”

“… civilization as measured from the first writing is only about 5,000 years old. … That’s 1,000,000th of Earth’s existence … really a flash in the pan so far. And why did it take so long? Four and a half billion years, for the vast majority of the time, there was no life. And then there was archaic bacteria for a very long time. And then you had mitochondria get captured, multicellular life, differentiation into plants and animals, life moving from the oceans to land, mammals, higher brain functions. And the sun is expanding slowly, but it’ll heat the earth up at some point in the future, boil the oceans and earth will become like Venus, where life as we know it is impossible. So, if we do not become multiplanetary and ultimately solar system, annihilation of all life on earth is a certainty. A certainty.”

“ … there are these great filters which civilizations don’t pass through, and one of those great filters is: Do you become a multi-planet civilization or not? And if you don’t, it’s simply a matter of time before something happens on your planet, either natural or manmade, that causes us to die out. Like the dinosaurs. Where are they now? They didn’t have spaceships.”
