Elon Musk Takes Question at a town Hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. · Elon Musk Thinking

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You know, this is an election that I think, frankly
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: is is a folk in the road of destiny.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: You know, it really is.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's yeah, it's it's it's it's essential.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's like we need safe cities, secure borders,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you know, sensible spending, I mean basic stuff, you know,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and and we need to get rid of like the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: well yeah, but I mean it's it's like I always
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: feel like it's bad to like attack Kumalo because it's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: just a puppet, you know. But it's just, you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it's just a machine. It's just like this this big
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: government machine and there's a puppet, and it's like it's
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: no point being like attacking the puppet. It's just, you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: it's it's like it's like, you know, I made a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: joke that was sort of misconstrued that it was like,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: nobody even bothers to try to kill Comma. That's pointless.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Why let's get another puppet. So everyone there's nobody even bothers,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: nobody's even nobody's even tried to kill Biden. It's like,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't that seem odd? They're trying to kill Trump twice exactly.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if somebody's already dead, what's the going
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to try to kill him? So, uh, you know, he's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: one putting four toes in the grave. I mean I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: saw weekend at Bernie's and honestly the corps had more
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: life than Biden. Like actually, so, uh you know, who
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: is he even running the country? Like, like like like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: who's in charge? It's confusing? Is you're Trump? Sure he
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: will be, hopefully, but I just sort of wonder, like,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: clearly Biden is an accompassmntis so who is actually in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: charge the machine? I I think it's just it's just
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: like the big government machine basically is what's in charge?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It's but it's bizarre, you know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I mean obviously with with Trump, the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: great thing is that we have a real individual who
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is not beholden to anyone and that's what scares the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: machine and that's why the machine is trying to kill them.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So so yeah, wild times, man, wild times. Yeah. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Mean I've had quite a few friends called me and say,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: have you know, you should definitely improve your security. I'm
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: like that's probably a good idea. Yeah, I'm like they're
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: like they're definitely going to try to kill you. I'm like, uh, yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that's a good chance they might try to do that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly if they shoot, they better not miss, so
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I'll find out who was behind them, not just who
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the gunman was. So, but it is it is crazy
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to think that, uh, you know, we have a presidential
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: candidate who that they've tried to kill twice in recent months,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and they try to get them, you know, with lawfair
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: six ways of Sunday to try to prevent people from
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: actually voting in a democratic way. It's it's outrageous. Really,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: what are they you know, what are they afraid of?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's it's kind of the truth.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And I certainly in course people if people haven't seen
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the the conversation between uh jur Organ and Donald Trump,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that was.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: That was super cool.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think for for a lot
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of people, it's like, you know, how do you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: how do you understand somebody like and what they're about?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You know, Like the the sort of far left press
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: has been going on and on about how like Trump
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is like Hitler, like Mussolini and Stalin combined and you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: rolled them all into one and he's somehow worse than
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: all three of them combined. These are people who have
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: killed tens of millions of people, and like, something's wrong
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: with the press. Guys, you know something is wrong with
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the press. Your journalism is dead. Like what the heck
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is going on?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: It's bizarre.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, actually exactly, it's like I mean, I do, I do,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I do think like that, that that old school journalism.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I call it the legacy media because it is kind
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of legacy media because it is it is from a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: time when in order to learn any news, you had
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to aggregate the news to some central publication and then
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: then some editor would decide what people should hear, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: then the would print the newspaper with like a lot
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of a lot of paper literally and then distribute that paper.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And that's how you learn things. But you obviously don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: need that anymore. You've got the Internet, so anyone can
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: learn anything at any time.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I X the future.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's where it's citizen journalism, where you hear
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: from the people. It's by the people for the people.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. I think this is this
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: this is a super super big deal and it's it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: absolutely fundamental and transformative that the people actually get to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: decide UH the news and the and and what the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: narrative and what matters and and that the because the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: legacy UH media is basically controlled by a handful of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: editors in chief, that's it. They decide what's going to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: get published. That's why I really encourage everyone out there
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to to write stuff on the X platform and get
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: other platforms too. But citizen journalism is the future, you know.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And that's where you get to hear from actual experts
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in the field, people who are really who are experts
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: in any given industry, and you get to hear the rebuttal.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So if somebody says something that's that's wrong or requires
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: more context, people can add that. You know, Exces has
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: got community notes, which is great, you know, so take
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: your community notes. I think is got a very good
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: batting average. It's not perfect, but it's got a very
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: good batting average. And I you know, many times I've
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: gotten requests like can we get rid of this community note?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, we cannot, not even a community note
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: on myself. So with community notes, all the code is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: open source, all the data is open source, so you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: can recreate any given community notes independently, and that transparency
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: is how you know that it's true and it's real
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and it's honest. So that's that's yeah, but I think
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: we've got you know, besides, man, this this mic feedback
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: is getting a little crazy, So maybe I should should
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I go further back or with a pard Well there's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: an X on the floor, I guess, I guess then
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that's where I should stand. Okay, yeah, all right, all right, yeah,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the landing of the rock ship was pretty cool.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That was an amazing thing. So yeah, this this space
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: X team is an incredible team. And it's wild that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this giant two hundred fifty ton object went to space,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: came back and was caught by giant Magzilla arms. It's like,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you know, it's super cool. That's the kind of thing
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that it's you know that I think is inspiring and exciting,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot of potential. I think
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: we can actually build a permanently occupied science base on
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the Moon, we can build a SETI on Mars, we
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: can be a multiplanet species and out there among the stars.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It's very exciting, you know. So I'm wearing this jacket
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that was given to me by the Space Force. You know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it's got Star Trek Enterprise on it. You know, it's
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: like Staffiat Academy. We want to make Staffiat Academy real,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you know, and go out there and visit other those
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: star systems eventually and see if there are alien civilizations.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're alien civilizations that existed for millions of years
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and we just find the you know, the ruins of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: many long dead alien civilizations.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know, well they might be. It'd be very.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Interesting to see, you know, because at least according to physics,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the universe is thirteen point eight billion years old and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Earth is about four and a half billion years old.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So even if you just increment the time counter by
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a million years, you have to go three digits past
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: decimal place.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: To go blip a million years.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And the oldest writing that we've discovered in archaeology is
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: only fifty five hundred years old. Only that's nothing. That's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a million of Earth's existence. It was the first writing.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And you really have to add it to the ancient Samerians,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: by the way, those they got a lot of firsts.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Those ancient Samerians, they are really knocking out of the park, right,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you know, we're just take clay tablets and everything. It's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a thanks thankfully that would in c clay tablets. It
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: was quite helpful. I mean they've even discovered like school work,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: like when they teach the kids cuniform on clay tablets
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and then there's the teacher correcting the cuniform in red ink.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: It's been going on for a while.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we are a mere.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Fifty five hundred year old civilization, just a baby, really,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: but what a lot of potential. I think we you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: we can go out there, we can make life multi planetary,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: understand the universe, find out what's going on. Maybe the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: aliens will come visit us. Maybe maybe they are here
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know, so alien registration are so yeah. If
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: people do ask me, like do I think aliens are
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: amongst I'm like.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen any.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's illegal aliens, but a lot of those.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: But but I haven't seen any like sort of green
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: aliens with antennas on the head or anything like that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And maybe they are, they're just very subtle, but I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: haven't seen them. So, but I think we want to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: be kind of we want to be the aliens exploring
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: other galaxies, you know, and you know, I grew up
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: watching Star Trek and Star Wars was the first movie
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that I ever saw in a theater, and it obviously
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: affected me a lot. And we just want to have
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: these sort of glorious, amazing I don't know, space future real,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, and and have exciting, inspiring things that make
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you glad to wake up when you wake up the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: one you're glad to be life. They have to be
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: these things, you know, life cannot Yeah, so yeah, so yeah,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: well I think we can so that you can travel
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to Mars roughly every two years, so every twenty six months,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the planet's align and you can travel from Earth to Mars.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And we're actually at a planetary alignment moment right now
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in the next few months, and so in roughly two years,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: there will be another planetary alignment, and that's when we
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: intend to send the first starship rockets to Mars. Yeah,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: so that's I think we can probably send quite a
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: few in two years. And then if those lands successfully
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and we do not increment the crater count in Mars
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: creater count before and after he equals the same, then
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: we can send.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: People in four years. Yeah, we will be illegal aliens
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: on Mars.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: You know, I guess if there's any you know, if
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: any any Martians, maybe they'll make Mars great again. Yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you know, Mars did have oceans a long time ago.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It's it seems like, yeah, like when Mars is a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: lot hotter, it had what appears to be liquid oceans,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And if you warmed Mars up, it'd have an ocean
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: run about forty percent of the earth of Mars's surface,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So Mars would be about have an ocean I think,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: almost like a mile deep on forty percent of the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: surface if you just warmed it up. So there's a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: ton of a massive amount of frozen ice on Mars.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it kind of make Mars great again because
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you can warm it up and it can be an
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Earth like planet. So I think that's actually very important
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for the long term, Uh, the longevity of consciousness is
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: to be a multiplanet species. It's actually very important. So
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: because there's always some chance that something could happen on
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Earth that's either you know, a man made disaster or
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a natural disaster like the you know, the media that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: killed the dinosaurs. I mean, there have been many mass
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: extinction events in Earth's history, and there will be there
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: will be mass extinction events. Yeah, there is the fact
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a mass extinction event of humans. Actually the birth rate
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is plummeting. So but the probable lifespan of civilization will
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: be much greater if we are a multiplanet species than
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: if we are single planet species. We don't want to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: be one of those lame one planet civilizations, is what
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know, so we want to be a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: multiplanet civilization. And you know, just I'm not talking about
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: like a lot of resources, like I don't know one percent.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Of our resources.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It seems like a wise moved to be a multiplanet species,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and it kind of just ultimately you find out what's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: going on, like visit other star systems. And I think
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: one day Mars may actually play a role similar to
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the role that America has played in saving the world.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You know, America saved the world three times last century.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: That's a big deal, World War one, two, in the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Cold War. So Earth would be very different if not
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: for America saving the day three times last century.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: So yeah, amen, indeed, so so I think in the future.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Mars used to call America the new World, and Mars
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: would be the new New World. And I but actually,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: you know, planet, so I think I think one day
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Mars may save Earth, just as America saved the rest
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of the world.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I think that's a big deal.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: So yeah, as you can tell, I love space and rockets,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: in case that wasn't obvious. So let's see, we can
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: go right into questions and.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: And just you sort of have it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: So it's always good to have, like get the discussion.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Going with people.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: So the lights are very bright in eyes, so I
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: can hardly I can't see what's going on. It's two
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: big lines. Okay, great, well let's see. How should we start? Okay,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: go ahead, okay, sure, Hi Elon.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: My name is Ashley and I'm from Lancaster County and
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I have a seven year old son named Daniel, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: he made me promise that if I got to talk
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: to you, I had to tell you that he thinks
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: that the cyber truck is the coolest thing that has
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: ever been invented.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: So he owes me one now for telling you that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: But so my question centers around higher education. So I'm
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: going to age myself a little bit. But twenty years ago,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: when I graduated high school, I made the decision not
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: to go to college and just to enter in the workforce,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: and it worked really well for me, but I did
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: get a lot of slack from it from people that
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: thought that that was kind of crazy. And now I've seen,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: you know, the attitude toward higher education kind of changing
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: and that not being the only model that we have.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: So my question's sort of twofold here. So when it
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: comes to like my children, who you know, will eventually
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: be needing to make that decision, you know, what decision
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: or what what advice would you give in comparison to
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: like a trade school, higher education or just entering the workforce.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: And from an employer standpoint point in you know, ten
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: to fifteen years, what do you think employers are going
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: to be looking for from this next generation that we'll
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: be entering the workforce?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I do think that probably.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Too often people do do a university or college thing
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: for four years and it's unnecessary, you know, it's and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: then they accrew a lot of debt and it's hard
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to pay off the debt, and they often don't learn
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: skills that are very useful. So it's it's not you know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I think we should really reconsider whether going to college
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: actually makes sense. I think it doesn't always, So you
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: know what I think, and people also forget, like what's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the point of of going to school in general? It's
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to learn useful things, you know, It's you
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: improve your understanding of the world and and learn skills
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that can help you contribute to your fallow human beings.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: But very often the university does the opposite. In fact,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you know, it will propagandize kids and not teach them
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: anything useful and just saddling with a lot of debt.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: So so I think, you know what, what what really
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: matters is like, are you doing something useful to help
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: your fellow human beings? Are you contributing more than you take?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And if you are, that's a great thing. So now
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: we are headed into a pretty wild future here with
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence and robotics. I think, especially if you if
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you look say like ten ten years from now more
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna have the world is gonna look very different.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I think that's it's like eighty percent likely to be good,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you know, like the glass is eighty percent full, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and and most likely will have I think we'll probably
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: have a situation which is universal high income, actually not
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: universal basic income, but universal high income, and there will
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: be no shortage of goods and services.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: That is what I think is most likely to occur.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And we need to make sure that this AI is
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and these robots are on the side of humanity. You know, obviously,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: you know, James Cameron made a made a couple movies
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: about that. You know, you gotta watch what your program
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: these rob us to do. And you know, the example
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I've used a few times is you know, when when
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Google Gemini came out, Uh, people asked, well, which one's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: worst miss gender and Kaitlyn Jenner or global therm in
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: nuclear war and said, well, mis genering Kaitlyn Jenner is worse.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: It's like we've got a problem with the AI. And
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: and even Caitlyn Jenner said, yeah, you should definitely miss jener.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Me.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Uh, that's crazy.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: So, you know, we.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Don't want to have an AIS that concludes that the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: best way to avoid miss gendering is to execute all humans,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: therefore reducing the probability of misgendering to zero because there
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: are no humans.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Like, that's the kind of crazy stuff that that could
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: potentially happen that we want to avoid, which is why
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I think we want to have a maximum truth seeking
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: AI it's got to be kind of kind of based
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: in a good way and just be an honest and.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Truthful and forthright.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: AI, that's the best path to safety for artificial intelligence.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: Hi, e Line, I'm Christine. I'm from Lancaster County. I
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: want to extend a heartfelt welcome from all of us
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: in Lancaster County.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for all that you do.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: My question, sir owns government and efficiency. What would be
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: your plan to make government more efficient?
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well so, I think the first of all, in
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: terms Ofer's ask, where would you start with government efficiency?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: It's and it's kind of like being in a room
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: where the entire room is targets, and so you can
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: shoot in any direction and not miss. It's like it's
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: just impossible to miss because every direction is a target.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: So it's because it's a normous possibility. Now, we do
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: have a fundamental issue, which is that that the government
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: is spanning far much that far far more than it
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: brings in. And the reality is that all all government
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: spending is actually taxation. All government spending is taxation. Sometimes
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: people think some of it is taxation and some of
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it's not, but it's all taxation because the part that
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: is not covered by tax revenue becomes inflation. So you're
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: either taxed directly or you're taxed by inflation. But you're
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: but you're off for for sure taxed and and and
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: so all gouvernm spending these taxations. So we have to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: reduce cover spending overall like this. This will be forced
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: upon us in the future because already just the interest
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: payments on the debt are twenty three percent of all
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: federal tax revenue.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Just the interest payments.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: The interest payments now exceed the defense popic budget, which
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: is a trillion dollars a year.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of money.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: So just the interest on the debt exceeds what we
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: spend on the military, just the interest, and that is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: rising rapidly. So so it can't be like, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: we'll we'll trim a little bit here and there. That's
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: not going to work. They have to be quite radical
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: reductions in costs. Yeah, and I think we just need
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to be you know, if you know of please Lord
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: drop wins uh the you know, and and and the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Duhamony government efficiency happens. We want we're gonna be very
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: open and transparent and be very clear about this is
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: what we're doing. Here are the issues. This is this
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: is the math for what what's being spent and what
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you know, and and we're gonna make it. We're going
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to make the spending lower. And if if somebody's got
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a better idea for how to make the spending.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Lower, we'll tell us.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But but if we don't, we're going to bankrupt the country.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: And and so we've got to do something. And it's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: got to be like some pretty big moves. Yeah, I'd say,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: like drain drain the swamps. This is like a there's
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: so many swamps. It's like, you know, this is so
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: many swamps. There's yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's just
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: nutty that like there was a massive increase in I R.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: S personnel and and and instead of adding people to
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the border prot role, like this is totally backwards. It's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: it's like like you can continue to remain a federal employee,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: but you have to go to goud the border. That's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: your new job.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: It's it's like, why are we spending money in applying
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: resources to oppress the American people while rolling out a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: red carpet for illegal So it doesn't make any sense.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So so yeah, it would have to be pretty big.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I mean there's I actually have tried googling it, and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I've asked all the AIS how many how many government
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: agencies are there?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: And even the government doesn't know, okay, and the AIS
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: don't know that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: They're like, well, it's about four hundred and fifty, but
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: maybe it's four hundred and twenty. I'm like four twenty,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: no kidding, that's that's a lot of agencies, just at
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the federal level. I mean, like if you sort of
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: stand back and say, okay, just for a second, like
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: let's say we're starting the country again, how many agencies
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: do we need? Do we need more than ninety nine?
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Because that's ninety nine is a lot of agencies, you know, Like,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: that's that's a lot. You know. If you said, like,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: does any how many people even know at ninety nine agencies,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I'd say practically no one knows nineteen nine knows the
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: names of nineteen nine agencies, let alone the.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Four hundred and twenty or whatever there are.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So we have to unwind the situation, and I think, well,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to do it, and it's going
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to unleash a new era of prosperity because people that
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: don't even realize how much they're getting held back by
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: millions of federal regulations.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Literally.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Oh and if it turns out that that that we
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: accidentally got rid of a good regulation, we'll just put
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: it back. Is that easy?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Hey, elon, I'm Dan from Pennsylvania as well.
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: I am a teacher, public school teacher, and I just
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: bought a Tesla this year and it's been amazing for
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: my one hour commute.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Right, Oh, thank you about that?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Cool?
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: Traditionally, yes, oh my gosh, it blows like when I
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: go into the teacher parking lot and I just tried
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: to summon today, like yeah, everybody's all hit the floor.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah as wild. Yeah.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So Republicans need to get out the vote.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: And as the mail in balloting becomes more common, what
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: can I tell my friend ends about the safety and
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: security of mail in ballots this election and future elections?
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: And then real quick, also, sure, my daughter is too.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Her name is Isabella.
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: She loves the planets and loves astronomy, is already and
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: I want to know what I can, as a teacher
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: do to help inspire her curiosity for the heavens and
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: the stars.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Sure, with respect to voting voting integrity, I think probably
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: your best thing to do is to hand it in
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: in person, but you can also mail it in and
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: you can check to see whether your ballot has been received.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: So it is possible to check online or in person
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to see if your ballot has been received. But I
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: would encourage people to vote early because what can happen
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: is that, you know, November fifth comes around and there's
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: like you've got something critical at work, or there's like
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a family emergency, or you know this, yeah, some mysterious
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: cybersecurity event that you never know might happen. So you know,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: anything can crop up on November fifth, whether it's personal
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: or some you know, there could be some other, some
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: other issue.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: So it's it's it is best to vote early.
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: It is very encouraging to see the early vote numbers
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: because if you compare the early vote numbers this year
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: to twenty twenty, there's about a I think the last
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: numbers I saw, it's like a two to three hundred
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: thousand vote different from twenty twenty. That's a huge that's
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: a major because because I think it was like an
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: eighty thousand vote threshold last time.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: So Biden won ish by.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: By by eighty thousand, eighty thousand votes, that was the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: number that was reported. And and but the interesting thing
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: is that that the delta votes is now two one
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: hundred I think maybe approaching two hundred and fifty or
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: even three hundred thousand, better than twenty twenty, which is
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: far in excess of the margin of twenty twenty. So
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is trending in the right direction. It's very encouraging,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: but there's still a lot of work to do, and
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: we don't want to be complacent. So definitely get everyone
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you know to vote. And as I mentioned earlier, people
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: can actually go in person on Monday and Tuesday if
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: they're concerned about putting anything in the mail, and they
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: can actually get their ballot, Like even if they don't
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: have their ballot, they can literally go to the county
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: office get the ballot even though it's his absentee, and
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: then they handed it even though you're not absent.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: It's weird, but it works.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: But it stops working on Wednesday, and then the next
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: up turnity is November fifth, So it's kind of quirky,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: but that's that's those are the current rules. And then
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: let's see with respect to your daughter.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: In order to inspire, like, kids are inspired by real
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: amazing imagery, Like they see something amazing. They see a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: rocket taking off, a rocket landing, or you know, robots
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: walking around or like cool things like the stuff that
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you see in sci fi movies.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: And when they see stuff like.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That, they're they're they're inspired automatically. They're inspired because it's
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: because there are real advancements in technology. And that's uh,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you know, that's that's that's what inspires kids because it's
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: because it should. You Like, kids are like a great
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: filter for for what's awesome. Like you can tell like
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: if a little kid reacts like wow, that's amazing, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: that's like that's real.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: So like kids love the cyberge truck and they love rockets.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: You know that's because they have no filter. They just
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: say what they immediately say what they think, you know. So, yeah,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: so it's great new rocket technology that allows us to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: like said, go there and be have a permanent science
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: station on the moon. You're not just like it's great
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: that we're into the moon yet fifty plus years ago,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: but we want to go to the Moon and actually
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: have a science base, Like, we've got a science base
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: in Antarctica, Well, we should have a science base on
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the Moon, and we should be building a city on Mars.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: And I actually think it's it's the long term future
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: of civilization. I think could be decided by whether or
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: not we build a self sustaining city on Mars. And
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: if we do that, that is a city that would
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: have millions of people, and it would be like, if
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: anybody wants to go to Mars, that they could, and
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: that would be an incredibly inspiring thing to to to
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: aspire to go to Mars. You're like, wow, let's make
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: that reel. Let's bring her to Mars.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, let's bring it to Mars.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if she thinks like, wow, one day I could
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: go to Mars, you know, and and and be one
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: of the Martians, and that would be.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Super awesome. I think.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's well, the you go, it takes
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: six months.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Actually, when you go from Earth to Mars, you're just.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You're just traveling across this this void of nothingness for
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of miles until eventually you reach another planet.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: It's kind of incredible to think that that's even possible.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: But and how amazing would that be?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: You know, like wow, I think that we want to
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: have a future where life is multiplanetary, where we're advancing
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: rocket technology, and like I said, where Star Trek Starfleet
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Academy is real, and that's what it will inspire your daughter.
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: Thank you all right, Hi Elon, My name is Lauren
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: from Pennsylvania. Thank you for being here, Thank you for
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: everything you're doing, and congratulations with SpaceX. You and your
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: whole team are absolutely brilliant. I have two specific questions
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: for you. But I was curious because I looked all
• 34:21
  Speaker 9: over on X today and I didn't see anybody who
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: won the million dollar prize. Oh yes, that gave it
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: out today.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Well let's see. I'm well, we're all going to give
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: it out tonight in fact, so let's to go ahead
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: and do it. Yeah, okay, let's do it. Good timing,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: all right, Judy Kamara, Yeah, Judy has no idea. By
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the way, it's just learning now.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: So okay.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: With I think Judy's on our way here.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Uh, Like I said, Judy had no learned when you learned?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: All right? Oh?
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Thank you?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: All right. M I mean we're trying to trying to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: get attention for this very important petition to support the Constitution.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: And uh, it's uh, you know, it's it's like if
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: if we you know, we need the rights to pre speech,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: we need the right to be our arms, otherwise there
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: is no right to free speech. And yeah, and and
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's peoples. I wonder why why didn't
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: why what's up with the million dollar prices? I'm like, well,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: we needed to get the legacy media to talk about it,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: and and I just knew that they would be like
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: complaining like hell about it. That like for sure, complaining
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: on every every newspaper, every TV station or complaining like
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: like crazy.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: And that's just like great, that's gonna.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Get the word out. Well it's welcome. Yes, Hi Caden
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: and Kayley.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Hi, all right.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, so we're gonna be giving out a
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: million dollars every day, uh through November fifth. And and
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: also all you have to do is sign the petition
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: in support of the person and second Amendment.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: You don't you don't even have to vote. Be nice
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: if you voted, but you don't have to. And that
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: to support the basically sign something you already believe in.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: And uh, you got tested on a million dollars every
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: day from now through the election.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, congratulations, Judy. Let me know if you want to
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: share two specific questions for Elon. One regarding your concern
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: about the declining birth rate.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big deal.
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: It is besides us as women having more and more
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: children and since we're the only ones who can give birth.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, what would you do.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: You do need a womb? Is if a lot is
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to a woman is necessary? Otherwise you can't have kids
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: currently it is necessary? Yes, what would be your solution?
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: Would you be in favor of creating or supporting an
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: IVF cyrocacy program to increase the birth rates? And my
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: second question is about what would you recommend towards the
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: first steps on improving our American educational system?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah, I mean in general, like I think
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: we should really view the birth rate as like an
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: extremely fundamental crisis.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Like it's really shocking how low it is.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: You know, the birth rate in America, in the United
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: States has been below replacement rate since I was born,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: roughly roughly around nineteen seventy one or so. That's since then,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: America has been below replacement rate, and pretty much every country,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: it seems as soon as they reach a certain level
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: of prosperity, the birth rate drops below replacement. And then
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I started looking into, well, it has this happened before
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: in history, and in fact it has. It's in basically
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: every civilization in the past. It's maybe intuitive, but the
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: more prosperous that a civilization becomes, the lower.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: The birth rate.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: So it's because you think, well, with prosperity, you'd have
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: more resources than you'd have more kids. Actually know, the
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: historical fact is that the longer that a civilization has
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: been prosperous, the worst it's birthrate. God, and that this
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: was an issue even in ancient Rome, like in fifty BC.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: There's like actually wherever we still have like the Roman
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: laws that were written have passed laws to try to
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: improve the birthrate of Roman citizens in fifty BC. So like, basically,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: this is a fundamental civilizational challenge that has been encountered
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: many times before. It's not something that just you know,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: happened recently. It's it's it's occurred throughout the cycle of civilizations,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and I don't I hope we can at least partly
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: reverse it. And I think part of that is at
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: least bringing it to conscious awareness because I meet many
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: people who think that there are too many humans on Earth.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: But this is not true.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: There aren't enough humans on Earth. In fact, you can
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: fit all the humans on Earth in the city of
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: New York on one floor.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: So, or like if you if you fly across the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: country and you look down and say, if you if
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: you're if you had to drop a ball in someone's head,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: would you succeed and you would not because the density
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: of people is very low. There's there are actually very
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: few people on Earth. It's only if you live in
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: a very dense city environment that it seems that there
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: are many people that that Earth is densely populated, But
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: it is only densely populated in zero point one percent.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Of the surface area.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: So I at least want to bring it to conscious
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: awareness so people don't think that Earth is overpopulated when
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: in fact Earth is underpopulated.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: That is the true.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Obiligates is and I am not best friends
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: to say the least, So I don't know he is.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: You know, I think this. You can arguably arguably say, like,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: look that maybe the real distinction is not right or left,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: but is someone an expansionist or an extinctionist, so.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: He has some issues. This is true.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: So but like if you say, like like any given civilization,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: it's it's not going to be exactly steady. So it's
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: like they're any given civilization is either going to be
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: growing or declining. And so you have to say you
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: can kind of divide any person's actions into are they
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: expansionist or extinctionist. And I mean, obviously I'm super expansionist
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: oriented because I think that's a far more exciting future
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: than going extinct. You know, sounds of yes when you
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: say it like that. So yeah, So it's just but
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I still run into a lot of people who think
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Earth is overpopulated. So I'm like kind of hammering this point.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: We're not overpopulated, we're underpopulated. And you know, so so
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I'm in the paper of really, you know, we need
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: to have babies by whatever means, whether it's ibfs, a legacy,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. You know, that can that
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: can certainly help, and but we just can't go extinct,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: like with humans need to you know, I think humanity
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: is great and we should have get bigger.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: You know, we want to expand.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I think we should expand the scope and scale of
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: consciousness so we can better understand the nature of the universe.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the foundation of my philosophy.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make babies great again.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, So yeah, hopefully that was helpful.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm high.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: I'm Mary Wrestler and I live in Lancaster, PA. I'm
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: a teacher here. I've been following you because of your
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: work with World Literacy with X Prize as I was
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: a participant in Barbara Bush X Prize with an app
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: development called Literacy Speedway. But my passion is turning because
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: since COVID, every day in the trenches in the classroom,
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: I see the effects of mental health on our students.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Not only students, but I've seen two of my brothers
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: commit suicide. I've seen my own daughter who wasn't able
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: to get a bed in a facility and had to
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: wait months. I have seen what's happened to American families
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: because of the mental health crisis and the lack of resources.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: Our mental health system in America is broken. And so
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: even though I have a passion for World Literacy and
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: always will, I also would like to ask you, because
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: I know of your collaboration, your contacts contacts with the
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: election with what the new administration can possibly do. What
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: can you guys do to fix our broken mental health
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: system in America?
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Sure well, I mean I'd be curious to hear your
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: thoughts and suggestions. I mean, my my sort of observation
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: is that we do we overprescribe medication and and and
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: and that you know, like there's a lot a lot
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: of regulation, uh, in fact too much regulation about getting
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: any any given medication approved, but then after it's approved,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: there's no follow up to see, hey, did we make
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: a mistake. And then you get to get things that
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: are approved and they just go hog wild and uh,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: and it's causing a lot of damage. But there's there's
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: not really a good revocation capability. So it doesn't make
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: sense like there are good drugs that are not being
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: approved and they are a bad drugs that have been approved.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: This is a broken system. We need to fix it.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I think very often when when somebody has commit suicide
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: or if they've essentially done, if there's something, if something
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: as bad has happened, like what were they prescribed? That
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: is an important thing. Do you have any thoughts on this?
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: I do have thoughts on it. I feel like in
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: the Brooke and mortar school in the educational setting, not
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: only to the States, because I know it's it's education
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: is stay dictated, even though there's national national common Core
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: curriculum that there needs to be mental health services embedded
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: into every school at this juncture. There also needs to
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: be facilities in every state, not a six month wait
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: to say psychiatrists as in Pennsylvania at times, or twelve
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: months to get a bed in a mental facility. The asylums,
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: unfortunately weren't the fixed years ago in America because they
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: were horrible. But when they were taken away, authority went
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: to the states, money was taken away, and now you
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: have outpatient services and there's a lack of prescribers, there's
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: a lack of counselors. There's a need for more and
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: every day. Our prison system right now is housing half
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: almost And I could give you the data to you know,
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: they're not there because they're criminals. They're there because they
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: have mental health issues and it needs fixed.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, are there any particular medications you think should be
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: pulled from the market or added to the market.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: I believe that every child, when they're diagnosed with the
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: mental health condition, should have There is a test for it.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: There's some kind of tongue tet that can dictate which
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: medications will work and won't work for you. However, you
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: have to ask as a parent for that test. And
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: I can guarantee for my experience in this with parents
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: working in the school district or just from friends and
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: other associates. Most people aren't aware of it because it's
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: not paid by for insurance and most Americans can't afford it.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: So when things aren't covered under your insurance, they're not
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: given Like a doctor isn't going to prescribe that that
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: is done. So you have to have the self awarence
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: and knowledge to go and have that testing done, and
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: most people, unfortunately just don't know it even exists.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well, I think this is definitely and
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: something we need to figure out figure out better. It's
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: it is clearly, uh, I agree with you that this
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: this this mental health issue, and I think what do
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: we need to look at, like what what drugs actually
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: work and and and and what other side effects and
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: uh and some of them, I mean, yeah, I think
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: I think some of them are are are pretty sketch. Frankly,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: that some of the drugs that are that are prescribed.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, some of the stories I've heard about some
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: of the psych psychic psychiatric meds from people are are
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: pretty bad. Like it's like the reason they weren't in
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: this in some case, the reason they wanted to commit
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: suicide is when they when they took the drugs, not
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: when they didn't.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Take the drugs.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: You know, people people do need to believe in something,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: so you know, I think I think that they're probably
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: a nature of ahoorse a vacuum. So if if there is,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: you know, there's certainly a strong argument that the decline
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: in religion has has led to people seeking a new religion,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: essentially a secular religion, so that is, you know, Orgalism
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: is essentially a secular religion, but it's it's believed very fervently.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: So.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's a it's a strong strong
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: argument for church.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I agree. So, well that's true. All right, Well let's
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: see so.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Hi, Hi, good evening. My name is Janell.
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: It's nice to meet you. I wanted to actually first
• 49:27
  Speaker 10: thank you and probably behalf on everyone here to thank
• 49:30
  Speaker 10: you for creating the pack and the referral opportunity. I
• 49:34
  Speaker 10: think everyone here is grateful I saw it as a
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: way to support two amendments that I actually care about
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: and don't want to see go away. And secondly, I
• 49:41
  Speaker 10: saw it as a way that if I could refer
• 49:43
  Speaker 10: my friend's family and everyone that I could go, I
• 49:45
  Speaker 10: could earn some extra money. My husband and I are
• 49:48
  Speaker 10: actually self funding our own fertility journey. I've got some
• 49:51
  Speaker 10: unexplained infertility and so that money is going to actually
• 49:55
  Speaker 10: pay our bill next month. And I've always wanted to
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: become a mom and I have a dream to be
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: a and I know one day it will happen. I'm
• 50:02
  Speaker 10: drawn to your population concerns. I don't know if you've
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: talked to President Trump, but I would love to know
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: if you would consider pack or advocating a grant for
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: fertility to make Americans like myself be able to afford
• 50:14
  Speaker 10: it and have a baby.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Well I'm super pro baby, so yes, yeah, absolutely, I'm
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: super super super pro baby, so yes absolutely.
• 50:30
  Speaker 11: Hey, Elon, my name is Furman Jones, and I just
• 50:35
  Speaker 11: wanted to start out and say I really believe in you,
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: and I know everybody in here believes in you for
• 50:40
  Speaker 11: one reason or another, and I'm super thankful to even
• 50:43
  Speaker 11: get to ask you a question. But anyways, I also
• 50:46
  Speaker 11: believe in the Constitution, and I'll believe in the Bible,
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: and that's what I'm gonna ask you about. Sure, the
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: Bible says that nobody's perfect, and there's no perfect form
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: of government on this earth because greed is inevitable. It's
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: like Churchill says that democracy is the worst form of
• 51:04
  Speaker 11: government except for all the other types. Right, But the
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: one government that the Bible does say is perfect is
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: the Kingdom of God. And Isaiah thirty three twenty two
• 51:13
  Speaker 11: says the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our king,
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: and the Lord is our our law maker.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: So I feel like so much of your worldview.
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: Aligns with Biblical principles, and we need Christians to vote
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: and see that greed, that communism is the greatest manifestation
• 51:29
  Speaker 11: of evil and greed, and so yeah, that's my question.
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: How do we get Christians to vote? And if you
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: have time, what keeps you from leaving the Bible or
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: being more vocal about it?
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: So?
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it is interesting that actually I was told
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: that a surprisingly small percentage of evangelicals, of people that
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: are really strong believers, access It's quite a small percentage
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: that votes, I thought, and I hope, yeah, well this
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: is what I was told. Anyway, I saw I suddenly
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: hope more more people, more Christians vote, That would be great,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: please do so yeah, I mean I so I was, uh,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: you know, uh brought.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Up Christian and uh.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I went to actually somewhat strangely, went to Sunday school.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: And also I was sent to a Hebrew preschool. You know,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: it's not I'm not Jewish, but I was. I don't know,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: it's just still I think it was in the neighborhood
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: or something, you know. And so I was like hoping
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: a gala one day, Jesus is all over the next.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: And I was like, great, So you know, uh, so
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I certainly I'm I'm I believe in the
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: like the teachings of Christ. I believe you know that
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: He's like I believe in the Christian principles. Uh, you know,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: love thy neighbor. I believe in turn the other cheek,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: which is very important for it to have forgiveness, because
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: if you don't have forgiveness, then you have an endless
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: cycle of recribution, you know. Like you know, I used
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: to think, like why would you turn the other cheek?
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. Uh, you know, sponge them. But and I
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: think you do need to actually be strong, like you
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: can't be weak because if somebody's if you're facing sort
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: of a predatory threat, uh, and that threat is stronger
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: than you and that and then that threat doesn't believe
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: in Christian values, then you.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Will just get you know, executed. I mean, I don't know.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: But but at a certain point, once you are strong,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: once you are once you are strong, you should you
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: should forgive the transgressions of others, you know. And this
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: is obviously not something they believe in the Middle East,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: which is why there's this endless cycle of violent you know.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: So I really think that yeah.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: We should.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I should love let everyone when we should forgive,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: and we should we should be kind and gentle. So yeah,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I believe I believe in what Jesus.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: I believe. I believe in what Jesus said.
• 54:28
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 54:30
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Hello Elon Musk. My name is Grant and Agle
• 54:34
  Speaker 13: my family. It's really really good to meet you. My
• 54:39
  Speaker 13: first question was do you have an answer to life,
• 54:43
  Speaker 13: the universe and everything?
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Well, the classic answer is forty two and four twenty
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: is just ten forty twos.
• 54:56
  Speaker 13: Interesting but my real question, yes, sorry, my real question
• 55:01
  Speaker 13: would be what is the most useful, most powerful piece
• 55:05
  Speaker 13: of advice you have ever received?
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: The most useful piece of advice.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a tough one, huh. Yes, indeed, vote Republican.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: That's yeah, yeah, I mean this is this is maybe
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: gonna sound like maybe like I like I believe in
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: like like, well, if you study physics, if you if
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: you study I just recommend studying physics. Uh uh, you know,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: and and and and the tools of physics of the
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: sort of the thinking tools that it's it's it's not
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: it's not just a bunch of it's What matters.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: Is not remembering a bunch of formulas.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: What matters is the thinking process that led to the
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: discovery of those formulas. It's sort of critical thinking, first
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: principles analysis, trying to understand what is true at the
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: most fundamental level and then reasoning up from there and
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: testing your conclusions against uh, the most fundamental truths in
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: any given arena. This is how you can figure out
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: whether something is more likely to be true or not.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: And I think it's it's good to think in terms
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: of probabilities. So you receive information about a subject that
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: should that should change the probability.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Of your conclusion, but but not the certainty of your conclusion.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: Like so in physics teaches you that you should not
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: be one hundred percent certain that about any given prediction.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Now there's some things that are highly likely, but but
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: physics teaches you you've got to you got to assign
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: a probability to something being true, and then as you
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: learn more information, your original conclusion may be wrong, and
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: then you know you should then change your mind based
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: on the new information.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can think of it intelligence kind of
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: as just how good is.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: How how how I think that, Yeah, probably the right
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: metric for intelligence is the ability to predict predict the future.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: If you can predict the future, well, then you're then
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: you're you're you're as intelligent as you can predict the future. Well,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: because if something if somebody claims, well, this is thing,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: is this this person or or the AI is very intelligent, Like, well,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: what how good are are its predictions? And if it's
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: predictions are not very good, it's not that smart. So
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: that's that's.
• 58:10
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: I think the key nature of intelligence and if you're
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: trying to decide what to do in the future, it is.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Really it just comes down to predicting the future, and
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: to break the future you have to think critically about
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: the past and constantly try to be less wrong. So
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: maybe that would be maybe that would be right up
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: there in terms of best advice aspire to be less wrong.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Hi Elon.
• 58:52
  Speaker 15: Yes, First off, thank you so much for having us
• 58:54
  Speaker 15: here today. We always appreciate that we have somebody in
• 58:57
  Speaker 15: your level of influence that can listen to do regular
• 59:00
  Speaker 15: people and kind of get our voices heard. And it's
• 59:04
  Speaker 15: also not every day that a person gets to meet
• 59:05
  Speaker 15: their hero and ask them a question. So my main
• 59:09
  Speaker 15: question is since COVID, the current administration has really put
• 59:15
  Speaker 15: a struggle with small businesses, and especially here in PA,
• 59:18
  Speaker 15: we've seen a large decline in both the foundation of
• 59:22
  Speaker 15: small business and I've personally known several small businesses that
• 59:26
  Speaker 15: have had to close due to increasing regulation, taxes, you name.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: It, acts.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: The burden of excess regulation is very severe and it
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: crushes a lot of small companies and it makes big
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: companies operate much less efficiently.
• 59:43
  Speaker 15: So how do you think that we as small business
• 59:46
  Speaker 15: owners and non small business owners can fight against this?
• 59:51
  Speaker 15: And also what can you do as a former small
• 59:54
  Speaker 15: business owner that you can kind of fight for us.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean to your point, I think a dramatic
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: reduction in government spending and government overregulation like you call it,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: sort of America is getting sort of strangulation by overregulation
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: will unleash in your era of prosperity. It just allow
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: people to do useful and productive things and don't make
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: it a two year permitting nightmare, which is often is,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: and then burden small businesses with taxes that make them
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: go bankrupt.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's pretty straightforward.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it's kind of mind blowing that there
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: are over four hundred federal agencies governing our lives. Most
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: of them people have never heard of, but they do
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: affect your life and unbalanced negatively. So we just need
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: far fewer agencies and get the government off your back. Yeah.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 16: Hi, my name is Margaret from Lancaster. Thank you for
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 16: your time, for the most valuable thing you can give
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 16: to any organization. So thank you, Thank you, sir. So
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 16: my question is my wife's a natural or at least
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 16: US citizen. She's registered to vote. I banked my vote already.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 16: I was just wondering if you'd be willing to talk about.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 16: I mean, we did it the right way. We took
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 16: years and money, and we got her naturalized the right way.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 16: If you'd be wanting to talk about your experience at
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 16: all with immigration and also other than secure border, how
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 16: you see fixing that system.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, since your wife has gone through the.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Process of becoming a citizen and getting green card, you've
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: seen how absurdly slow and arduous it is. So I mean,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: I think that the general principle that makes sense is
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: the same principle that you'd operate a professional sports team
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: on or a company, which is like, who would you
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: want on your team? And if somebody is going to
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: be productive, like productive and honest and a net contributor,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: and that'd be a great addition to.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: The team, welcome aboard.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: It should be not a long process because they'll they'll
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: they'll produce more than they consume. They'll make everyone, everyone's
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: lives better. And so we have this bizarre situation which
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: is like mind blowing that it is easier to get
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: into this country as a murderer than as a nobel laureate.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: Literally that's not an exaggeration.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: But just like what you know, it's like, I mean,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: it's like if like if if you have the opportunity
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: to say, have like, uh, you know, Lebron James or
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry on your team, and you'd be like, yeah,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: that would make total sense. Our team's gonna win. They'll
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: make the whole team better, you know.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: So we want to actually.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: We need to have things be what they should, which
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: is that legal immigration of honest, hard working, talented people
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: is quick and easy and coming into the country illegally
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: is hard. That's how it should be.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Honestly, like, okay, I'd like kind of a crazy idea.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: This is what this one's going to hit the press,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: which is like, what if we gave legal immigration job
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: to Chick fil a? They are so efficient, they make
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: an amazing chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwiches are epic and
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: they make a zillion of them and they just get
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: it done. I think we should give the immigration job
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: to Chick fil a. They were cross.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a headline.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Hello mister mus but honestly be great. Hello mister Muscus,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: an honor to meet you.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 17: So my question is this, and I ask this as
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 17: a first time voter. As we know, Trump did not
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 17: and has not accepted the results of the twenty twenty election,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 17: one which has been called the most secure in the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 17: nation's history by the former president's owned Department of Homeland Security.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Similarly, similarly, I.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 17: Saw the violent disruption of the electoral vote count on
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 17: the news during January sixth.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: So my and I asked this, as a first time voter.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 17: Who wants to discern the truth, Sure, what would you
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 17: say to comfort the concerns of young voters like me
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 17: who are worried that voting for a second Trump presidency
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 17: will lead to democratic backsliding.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's a fair question. Honestly, the I
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: think it is It is a fair question. I mean,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: the thing is that, yeah, like I want to very
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: framed this correctly and obviously, anything I say that the
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: legacy media is going to take a SoundBite out of
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: what I say and miss and misconstrue what I'm saying,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: which is something they've done with President Trump many times.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: It is very important if you've if you've heard something
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: bad about President Trump, listen to his whole speech. That's
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: actually very important, you know, and uh, you know on
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: January sixth, I mean his statements on that day he
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: told people to back down. I mean he said he said,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: do not do violence, and then people were like saying, well,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: that's actually some sort of dog whistle about doing violence.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you supposed to say? You know,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: he did actually tell people to to not not be violent.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: He recommended that the National Guard be deployed. Nancy Pelosi said, no,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: I don't, So he didn't call for any violence exactly.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: And if you look at like, while it's obviously you know,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: I think it was you know, and like the level
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: of disruption was was high, and I don't I don't
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: applaud any any kind of damage to public property, of
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: course that you know, but it's you know, the media
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: tries to characterize January sixth as some some sort of
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: violent insurrection, which.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Is simply not the case. I mean, that is false.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: So you know, I would take I think probably what
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I think is the reasonable middle ground, which is I
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: disagree with the level of protest, but it's isn't It
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't no way of violent insurrection.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: You know that the so that.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: There's got to be a lot of guns for to
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: be a violent insurrection, and uh and.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: And and they were.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of strange things from a vote
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: in terms of voting irregularities that are hard to explain.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 5: So, uh, what what what?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, I mean there were things that are statistically unlikely.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Put that way, and and so it's not as though
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: the Janerary six protesters had that their protests had no merit.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: They had some merit.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: I disagree with the magnitude of what they did, but
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: I I but it's not as though there were no issues.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: There were actually there were issues. And we have this
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: weird situation in America where it is almost impossible to
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: prove fraud because if you've got no voter ID and
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: mail in ballots, how do you how do you prove fraud?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: And you know, and and it does seem more than
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: a little odd that we don't have vote I D
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: and New York at say, states like California, which is
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: the super majority Democrat, they've passed a law banning voter
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: ID in any election whatsoever. Now, how is that supporting democracy?
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: That's not supporting democracy? I mean, that's insane. Almost every
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: country on Earth has voter ID requirements, but we don't.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Why and why do the same people that demanded vaccine
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: IDs for you to do anything are the same ones
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: to say, no idea for voting thumon doesn't add up.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: It doesn't, it doesn't add.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Up, you know, so I actually think, I mean, my
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: my firm opinion is that those who say Trump is
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: a threat to democracy are themselves the threat to democracy.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: Make some noise. Yeah, I'll tell you what.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: That was awesome.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 8: Conspiracy was theory and now it's the truth.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll see you at this point. At this point,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: we're running out of conspiracy theories because there's so many
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: of them have come true, right that we need we
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: actually need.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 17: Uh.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Can someone please come up with some new conspiracies.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 8: Because government's here to help the governments.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, even the frogs might be real. You know,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: the frog situation might be real. I don't know.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 8: You know, the government we're here to help.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Probably heard that, right, right?
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 8: Well, elon, God bless you.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: It's very nice to meet you.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 8: My name is Andrew Morisky, Lancaster, PA.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: Native.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm a small business owner of a barbershop ten
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 18: minutes down the street called Legacy Barbers.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 8: Love to cut your hair sometime if you will, thank you.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 18: Ask you a question and also encourage you with these
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 18: few words. Augustine, who was a theologian and a philosopher, said,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 18: you have made us for yourself, oh Lord, and our
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 18: heart is restless until it rests in you. And Second
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 18: Chronicle seven, verse fourteen says, if my people who were
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 18: called by my name should humble themselves and pray and
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 18: seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 18: I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 18: sin and heal their land. So I want to encourage
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 18: you with that, brother.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great woods, great Woods.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 18: Amen, Amen, and Elon, I'll tell you what I been
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 18: watching you now for a while, hearing the stuff you say.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 18: We need more men like you in this country that
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 18: do that are not afraid to stand up to the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 18: media legacy. Yeah, they're not afraid to stand up against
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 18: people who think we're toxic masculinity.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: We need more men. Yeah. You know, I've got a
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: great counterargument for toxic masculinity, which is, if masculinity is
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: so toxic, how come the kids that are messed up
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: don't have dads. Riddle me that, riddled me that.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 18: And something that you said earlier, and amen to that. Yeah,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 18: And I'm actually going to be a dad February.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: Congrestulations, I'm having a baby.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you, lord.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 18: But the tweet that you had not too long ago,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 18: it said, and no one is even trying to assassinate
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 18: Biden or commanding, Yeah.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Because it's pointless.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Nobody will bother assassinating a puppet.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 18: You know, when are people gonna start seeing that our
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 18: country is not when they keep saying democracy, it's a
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 18: constitutional republic. Would you please make sure if you don't mind,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 18: to keep reminding.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 8: People that we are a republic. We're free.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 18: We're free because of Christ Jesus, and we're free because
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 18: of the men and women who died and shed blood
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 18: for this country.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely yes, hey man Brallo, Yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people died to make this
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: country what it is today. A lot of people died, absolutely,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: man and man, people take it for granted, you know.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well America pack is kind of the Antisaurus pack.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: You know, something's got to be done about it. So
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: it's like, uh, you know, I don't know what's up
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: with that guy. But honestly, like putting das and like
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: it's like it's like the jokers in charge, you know. Yeah,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: like electing das that don't prosecute crime is insane. It's
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: like literally like Batman, Dark Knight. I'm like, you know,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: lock up the lock up the citizens, and free the criminals.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: It's insane, it's happening. Yeah, I mean, like what this
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: is total madness.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: So we need to stop that.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well, I.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: Think America is great, but we want to be greater
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: and we want to do awesome things. We want to do,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: and you want to you want to look forward to
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: the future and be inspired and excited about the future.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: You know, that's what makes life with living no think. Yeah,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: all right, have you.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 8: Ever looked into the sport of arm wrestling?
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm wrestling. Uh, I have looked at not
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: not in depth, but I have looked into it and
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: for for for a while there, I did like to
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: actually read up on it and and actually various techniques
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: for how to win at arm wrestling, which is like
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of it is you know, get get your angles, yeah,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: get yeah, get your whole body into it and and
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: and get your angles so you can actually like if
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: you know the techniques and arm wrestling and somebody doesn't,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: you can actually uh win against somebody much bigger.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, no, no, I mean I would challenge Biden,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: but that would be ridiculous.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: You know, that'd be so unfair.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 12: So you.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Can use to what if you can use his two hands? Yeah,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: that'll be fine.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make arm wrestling grant again.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, God bless.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 5: All right, Hiland, my name is Mollie. I just want
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 5: to thank you for spending so much time in Pennsylvania.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: I think what you're doing is amazing and it's making
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 5: a real impact, So God bless you, and I think
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 5: you're a national treasure.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: My main concern is with the national debt, and I
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 5: know you've talked a lot about reducing the spending side,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: but I was wondering what kind of Trump policies and
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 5: industries you think will help grow the revenue side. And
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 5: along those lines, do you have any plans to bring
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 5: more Tesla manufacturing back to the US.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: Well, Tesla actually is a massive manufacturer in the US.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: In fact, the biggest factory that's been built in recent
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: years is the Tesla factory in Texas, So.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: That's uh.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And and then there's another big factory in Nevada,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: So there's gig Nevada, and uh Giga Texas and maybe
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: someday Pennsylvania, so that that that would be that would
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: be super cool. I'm a huge believer in manufacturing. I
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: love manufacturing, like making things. I've spent a lot of
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: time in the factory, walking the floor. I lived in
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: the factory for a while, literally lived in the factory.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Uh it was kind of like it's kind of like
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: Vegas actually because I didn't even see the outside, but
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: the lights were always on. But we had some tough
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: times in Tesla. It's really difficult to make any kind
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: of manufacturing company work. And uh, you know, yeah, Testa's
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: actually also the biggest manufacturing employer in California still.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: But the state is not super grateful.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: So but but yeah, I'm I'm a big so. So
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: we we do a ton of manufacturing in the US.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Uh and we we we we keep investing and increasing
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: our manufacturing activity in the US. And and SpaceX also
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: is a massive manufacturer.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: SpaceX is the biggest manufacturer of rockets and satellites in
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: And uh, yeah, so and that's that's that's all in
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: the US. So SpaceX manufacturing is all in the US.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: And uh and Tesla has massive amounts of manufacturing in
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: the US, like giant factories.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: So I'm a big believer in manufacturing. So it's from
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I do think a.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: Reform of the tax code it would make sense because
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: it's extremely complicated and there are too many loopholes.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 19: You know.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: I'm often pitched on these loopholes. That's how I know
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: they exist.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, that sounds pretty shady. I don't think
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: we should do that. We're like, well, lots of other
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: people are getting away with it. Well, like yeah, but
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: I still don't think we should it.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I four is fourth. I'm the the largest individual taxpayer
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: in history. So I paid ten billion dollars in tax.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Over ten billion dollars in tax. We welcome. Like I
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: sort of thought maybe the irs would, like, you know,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: send me like a little trophy or something, you know, yeah,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: like one of those like doesn't have to be expensive.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: It could be like, you know, one of those like
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: like things you get for when kids win a karate competition,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: like little plastic gold trophy or something like that, or
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: a cookie or something. But I don't get anything. It's like,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: you know, and uh, but I was happy to pay
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: the taxes. I don't mind, you know, yeah, it's good
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: week this week. Yeah, stock markets wild wild, sort of
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: roller coaster, you know. I think Warren Buffet's got a
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: good good a lot of good sayings actually, But what
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: one of his sayings I believe is like, you know,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: having a public traded company is like having someone stand
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: outside your house and yell house prices all day and
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: it's still the same house, and you're like, why is
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: this person yelling house prices at me all day long?
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: And that's what it's like. Being in a publicly traded
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: company is just they just yelled stock prices at you
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: all day long, and it's like, well, it's actually still
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: pretty much the same company as yesterday.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: So it's it's it's it's kind of weird being in
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: a publicly traded situation.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I think we should we should simplify the
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: tax code, get rid of a lot of exceptions and loopholes,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: and make it easy to fill out taxes. It shouldn't
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: be this like extremely complicated thing. Yeah, but but overall
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: I think that like if we if we have less
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: federal spending, then there's less taxation, and so that's and
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: we we we have to reduce federal spending. There's no
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: way to make up for it other than than reducing
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: the federal spending. And as I mentioned earlier, like a
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: very important point that I think is important for people
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: to understand is that all federal spending is taxation. Because
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: what is not what they don't receive, what the federal
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: company doesn't receive in direct revenue, they make up for
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: in inflation. They just print money. So all federal spending
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: is taxation. Very important principle. Almost no, very few people
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: seem to time even like, you know, somebody's like spend
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: their life in economics. I'll mention to them, hey, all spending,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: all federal spending is taxation. They're like, first they'll argue
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: with me, and they're like, then they will agree it
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: is because it is either direct tax revenue or it
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: is inflation. All federal spending is taxation. So we must
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: reduce federal spending or we will go bankrupt as a country.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 20: All right, Hey, Yvonne, I'm Chadwick from Westchester, Pennsylvania. I
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 20: met you asked week I met you asked week it Harrisburg,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 20: And since then I've been prouder than ever to wear
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 20: my maga hat around. You've really inspired me to wear
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 20: it more and more. And since then, I've had my
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 20: car slashed with a key. Really fine, Yeah, it's fine.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 20: Trump got hit with a bullet in the air, and
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 20: look at him, he's doing good. So uh yeah, somebody
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 20: chased me around with the shopping cart. Well, yeah, it happens.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 20: That's just that's a part of Westchester.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: It's well, honestly, I mean at this point, it's like
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: flying the rebel flag man, you know. Yeah, it's really
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: mag It's an adventure. Yeah. I've had some people get
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: mad at me. Yeah, just like big time. I do
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: have I do have a question this time though.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 8: I actually I met somebody on X.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 20: I do podcasting, and I met somebody on X directly
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 20: through the platform. I would call him a friend. His
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 20: name is Derek, and he has something called spina bifida.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 20: Yeah it is spina biffit a month right now, So
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 20: spina biffit of Awareness Month. I wanted to put the
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 20: aware to out there is that it's a spinal he's
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 20: form with some spinal kind of like issues and he's
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 20: never been able to walk and really never well well
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 20: I guess not according from what I learned, and he's
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 20: never he hasn't been able to walk like his whole
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 20: his whole life. So my question is, like, for the
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 20: disabled community and for people like him, will things like
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 20: will things like neuralink help? And also what will the
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 20: Trump administration be doing for people who are disabled to
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 20: help them anything?
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: I think I think there actually are a lot of
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: things that like medical devices and drugs that could be
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: approved that are sort of stuck in regulatory molasses, like
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: they're just you know, it's like trying to get anything
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: new approved is like running in molasses with lead shoes.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: It's really slow.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: So, you know, a good friend of mine was telling
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: me how his mom was diagnosed with brain cancer and
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: not the doctor said like, well, that's that's pretty much
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: this game over, you know, and then he talked to
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: but he's very enterprising guy, so he didn't take that
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: for an answer, and he asked every smart person he knew,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: is there anything that that could help cure brain cancer.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: Turns out there there's a drug called welly Rig that
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: was in trials at Harvard, I believe, and.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: It cured his mom's brain cancer.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: So you know, I'm like, well, like, how many wellie,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: rigs are there out there, maybe there's a whole bunch
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: of them and and devices and everything, and we should
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: you know, like I said earlier, it's like we need
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: to expedite approval of drugs, make sure people, you know,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: that people are properly informed of the pros and the
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: cons and then there also needs to be some after
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: approval follow up to say like was something approved that
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have been approved, or whether it needs to be
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: additional warnings.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: It's pretty common.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: It's common sense, I think, you know, just but like
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: when you're dealing with the government, like common sense, it
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, like you know, common sense just bounces
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: off the government like water off ducks back, you know.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like arguing with the d m V.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: That's impossible. They did put the COVID vaccine quick. Yeah,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: that was weird and they made everyone take it, which
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: is messed up. So I don't think people should be
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: forced to ta vaccine unless that against their will.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 14: But hi, Elon, my name is Alex Gambell from Lebanon County.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 14: I first want to thank you sincerely for what you're doing.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 14: I think you're an American patriot. I really do I
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 14: love America?
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I listen, I love America. And like sometimes
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: people say, like, that's just jinguistic propaganda. I'm like, I
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: don't care. I love the jinguistic propaganda. It's awesome. You know,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: It's like, God bless America. I've freakin it's it's it's amazing.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I agree. Yeah with the recent news from Lancaster
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 14: County discovering twenty five hundred potentially fraudulent other registration forms.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 14: What's your opinion or mail in ballots and if we
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 14: should get rid of them in the future.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: I also, I also want to get rid of them
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: in the future. I mean, like mail in ballots are
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: a strange normally that got popularized during COVID, but but really,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: but like you have an obvious recipe for fraud and
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: and and an inability to prove fraud if you've got
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: no ID, no gooter ID, and you've got mail in ballots,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: like you can't even put your and even like like
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: like like many years ago, a friend of mine was
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: telling me how his his dad actually helped improve democracy
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: in Mexico, and it was by organizing a whole bunch
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: of citizens to just stand outside the falling stations of
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: the voting stations with a counter, just to count the
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: number of people that went in, because obviously if you
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: have more votes than people, something's wrong. Yeah, And and
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: it turned out they had a lot more votes than people.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, this is a little strange. So anyway,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: that that but that that actually helped fix the situation
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: in Mexico big time.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 10: Ye.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: But but but if you don't, if you've got mail
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: in ballots, you can't count this, like you don't even
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: know what's going on. I also wanted to uh ask
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: you a favor. My my son is named Elon.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: Really we named them after you.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: Wow, he's three.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 14: You're an inspiration and I was hoping to get an
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 14: all the graph from you to give to him when
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 14: he's older.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: The further, I.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: Can't say no to that.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, from one Elon to another.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: Actually, you know I was actually I was named after
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: my American great grandfather. I guess it's so I'm like
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: kind of the opposite of Obama. I'm from Africa, named
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: after named after an American. So but yeah, Johnny Alon
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: Haldeman was my great grandfather, and that's I was named
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: after his middle name, So I think it was like
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: from Minnesota.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: I believe.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 21: Yeah, Hey, elon, Yeah, my name is Jennifer Lucas. As
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 21: you can tell, I do not have a Pennsylvania accident,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 21: but I do live here. I'm voting legally, I promise.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 21: I believe I'm from southern West Virginia. Okay, And honestly,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 21: I've had a lot of questions on my mind, from
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 21: education to drug epidemic. It's hit really hard. But one
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 21: thing that I would really like to ask you about
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 21: right now is lobbyists.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: If I buy vote, I go to jail.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 21: They buy votes on the floor, on the voting floor
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 21: in DC, and that's okay. That is affecting our voice
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 21: as American citizens. So what can we do to ban
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 21: lobbyists in DC so we can take our power back?
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: A pac America pack? Yeah, I mean, you know, so,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: I was actually part of making a movie cold, thank
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: You for Smoking.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone has seen.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: That movie, but it's it's a movie about political corruption
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: and about lobbyists and political corruption.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: You know, it's worth watching Thank You for Smoking.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: And you know that was I'm actually the pilot in
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: the movie in that plane so it's a very small role,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: but that movie explores the the corruption that exists in
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: d C due to all the lobbying that takes place,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: and the legislation is primarily written by lobbyists impacted and
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: then you know Congress basically Robert stamps the what what lobbyists?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: I think I think we probably do need to take
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: a look at what rules make sense, because obviously the
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: the point of the elected legislators is to legislate in
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: the interest of the people. And so if this legislation
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: have which is often the case, that is not in
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: there of the people, something's wrong. So and you do
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: get these like regulatory capture situations where there, you know,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: the companies in an industry end up controlling the regulators.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: And preventing new entrants.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: From from coming into a market, making it difficult for
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: new companies to come in.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to make that movie for a reason,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: which is too highlight that there is a lot of
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: corruption in in d C.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: And I would like to have less of it at least.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: It's it's tough. And you know, this is also why
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: I think the the big government machine is so against
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: Trump because he doesn't. He's not beholden to all of
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: these interests, you know, So he's not he's not capture. Essentially,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: he's not a puppet. So the sort of the big
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: government machine is very worried about electing someone who's who's
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: not a puppet. So yeah, I mean, I certainly advocate
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: for you know, better rules that limit the power of
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: companies to lobby in d C.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: Or at the state level for that matter. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: like I.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: For for Mars. Like people sometimes asking me, like, well,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: what kind of system of governments do I think makes
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: sense for Mars. I'm like, I said, well, that's gonna
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: be up to the Martians, you know. But but but
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: I would recommend direct democracy, not representative democracy.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: Where the people vote directly.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: And you know, in the past, before there was electric
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: before you had like the internet and electronics, you had
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: to have representative democracy because you couldn't.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: You couldn't.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: You had to just like with the legacy media, you
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: had to collect people's opinion by mail or literally by
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: voice or by letters written with a quill on you
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: know and a scroll type of thing, you know, like slow,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: So you had to have representative democracy. You couldn't have
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: direct democracy. But my recommendation for mars would be that
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: the people vote directly for anything, and that any given
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: piece of legislation must be short enough to understand. So
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: like if it's you know, not more than a thousand words,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: maybe three hundred, the longer the legislation is the worst
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: it gets. And we've got legislation that's longer than Lord
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: of the Rings, and like nobody's read it, you know,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: and really quick.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 21: I just wanted to say thank you for everything that
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 21: you're doing. I see you, and I see your heart,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 21: and I know that you love humanity, not just America.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 21: I do everything that you do. It shows you care
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 21: for everyone deeply. Thank you for that.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 8: I have a lot of ideas and if you want.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 21: To hear them sometime we can sit down for dinner.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 12: All right, Hello, Elon. My name is Stephen Marsha, so
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 12: I live in Lancaster County. It's nice to meet you.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 12: You once said in a job interview that when when
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 12: asked what is your biggest weakness, you said honesty, which
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 12: I find really interesting. And the guy said, well, that's
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 12: not a weakness, and what I find fascinating is the
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 12: way you stand up to anybody and speak your mind.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 12: And my question is there's a cost of telling the truth.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 12: There's a cost of being honest, Yes, and you're not
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 12: afraid to pay that.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully it's not like fatal, you know.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 12: Yeah, And I think that I'm wondering, like where that
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 12: came from in your life, because you know, you're an
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 12: amazing inspiration with everything I.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: Can, I can totally tell you, so, like it's I mean,
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: first of all, you know, like I think, I I
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: I aspire to be honest, but I'm also sometimes wrong.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: So obviously you know it can be right all the time.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: So and I do believe in and like you know,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: one should stand to be corrected. And the reason I
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: believe in sort of truth and honesty is because I'm
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: like I'm trying to understand the universe. I'm trying to
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: understand reality. You know, we're trying to understand like what's
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: the meaning of life?
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: Like what are we here for? Like what's what's going on?
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: And if you don't aspired to truth, if you're not
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: like rigorous about truth and honesty, then you're obviously going
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: to live in a deluded world. You want understand, you
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: want understand the nature of reality. You want to understand.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: So I just I'm just curious and I want to
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: understand the nature of reality. So that's requires rigorous adherence
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: to the truth.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 12: Also, add thank you. What I find fascinating too is like,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 12: you know, for you to stand up and speak the
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 12: truth about what you feel about Trump. There's so many
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 12: celebrities on the other side has.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: And yeah, that's weird that there's so many celebrities, you know,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, like, what did they what's up with that?
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly, You're You're the only guy with a serious
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 12: amount of influence that's able to really stand up for Trump.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 12: And I really think that I know people that are
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 12: like on the fence that are going to Trump because
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 12: of you. So I think, right you are making a
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 12: massive difference in this election, like you single handedly, and
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 12: that's an amazing legacy amongst all the other things that
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 12: you do.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: So thank you. Well, I'm trying.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: I'm trying my best to to you know, I want to.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to make as big a difference as possible.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I mean I do think like we're
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: at a like I said, folk in the road of
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: destiny where you know, like it's yeah, it's not clear
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: to me that that that there will be elections after
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: this if Trump is not elected, you know, so the
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's basically, in my opinion, there's massive voter
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: importation to swing states that is happening right now. If
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: you look at the actual numbers as reported by the
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: Democrat administration, there are triple digit increases in the number
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: of illegals in each swing state. It's two d and
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: forty percent with the number I sworre in Pennsylvania in three.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: Years and like that.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: That's you know, if the margin of victory is, like
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: was eighty thousand votes last time, Well, what happens if
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: you bring in like three hundred thousand illegals who are
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: beholden to the Democrat machine and get a whole bunch
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: of handouts, and even though they may socially not be
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: in agreement with the Democrats, their order priority is bringing
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: Princeton family into the country, which will be supported by
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: the Democrats but not by the Republicans. So its voter
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: importation is what's going on. And it doesn't take much
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: to have the swing states be a permanent deep blue.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: That's what happened in California. So like, I love Reagan,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: but he did sign in nineteen eighty six an amnesty
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: that you know, it's sort of legal alien amnesty. That
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: thereafter California, which had been red or a swing state
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: but primarily read was, went blue and then deep blue,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: and now California passed the law banning voter ID in
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: any election whatsoever, even in a town council. That's what
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: they will do to the whole country. They the playbook
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: is obvious because we could.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: Just look at what they did California.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: They're going to do the same thing in Pennsylvania, same
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: thing the whole rest of the country if they can.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: And Trump is the only chance to have that not
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: be the case.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you it's I'll tell you it's even
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: it's people like I think it's gonna be worse than
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: California because the one thing that keeps California from being
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: even more crazy than it currently is is that people
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: can move to other states and still be in America.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: But what if you can't move to any other states,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: it's going to be way worse in California. So it's profound.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: Yankee.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: Well sorry, okay, listen, I like the name. Okay, it's
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: a great name. Sorry, sorry, sorry, what have I done?
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: Hiylan?
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 22: My name is David and I am an founder of
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 22: an e commerce company here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. And I
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 22: appreciate the one thing that you're saying about the I
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 22: R S being bullying amid the American citizens. Instead of
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 22: enforcing our border, we're doing that. And I found one
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 22: problem being a business owner is I have been the
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 22: subject of recent harassment by the I R S and
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 22: I find that being a huge discouragement to entrepreneurship, which
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 22: is the American backbone. And I wanted to know what
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 22: you would be one of the number one things you
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 22: would recommend to the Trump administration about encouraging entrepreneurship and
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 22: getting young people, especially encouraged into starting small businesses to
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 22: keep our economy economy flourishing, and to keep creating wonderful
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 22: things like you have done.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean said, it's really I think, you know,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: if we can just get the government off people's backs,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: then you can you can get a tremendous amount done.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, it's like just we're over regulating six
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: ways of Sunday as you've experienced yourself. And then even
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: when there's like a little bit of success, then the
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: government comes along and takes the money.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: So it's crazy.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: You know. So just when when if the founders of
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: the country could see like where we are now, they'd
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: blow their mind, you know, Like there was a revolt
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: against the British. I think it was like a two
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: percent tax on tea, like say a three percent tax
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: on tea of like they're like no way, and now
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, forty percent. I mean, it's just
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: like there's new taxes every day, and there's a lot
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: of hidden taxes that you experience as a as a
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: small business own that people don't even realize exist. You know,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: you did sort of come to realize that because IRS
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: comes after you. But there's a ton of taxes that
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: try to sort of mask from the consumers.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: So we just need smaller government.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: And allow people to produce useful goods and services for
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: their fairly human beings.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's straightforward.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: Hi Elon, my name is Will King. It's nice to
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: meet you.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 23: Welcome to Lancaster.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 23: I'm a young mechanical engineer. I'm excited to work on
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 23: new problems. One of my dreams would be to work
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 23: for one of your companies, So we'll see where that goes.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 23: But the question I have is what are your thoughts
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 23: on tariffs and how do you see tariffs impacting consumer
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 23: spending or increasing inflation? And what problems to be solved
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 23: for US production to reach a scale and efficiency that
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 23: would match current outsource production. Like obviously it's it's no
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 23: first principle it's not a first principal principles problem.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: We can do it, but what needs to happen in
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: order for that to.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: Well, what are your thoughts on the subject?
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 23: So I think what you were, what you were touching
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 23: on before, a lot of government uh regulation and uh taxes,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 23: well taxes, you know, I don't know where we need
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 23: to go with that, but I think, uh, I love
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 23: your philosophy of surges in the employment and going hardcore.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 23: I was reading your autobiography, the other biography biography, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 23: be clear, it's it's it's a pretty good biography, but
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 23: it's not it's not actually what I would have written, right,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 23: But what really stopped to me I was reading about
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 23: how you wanted to move the servers from Twitter up
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 23: to is it an organ And well.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, actually there was yeah, there were three data centers,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: but only two were needed.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: And uh, I was being told it would take like
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: nine months to write.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 23: And you showed up with your guys and you're like, hey,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 23: let's just do this over.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: Night like Christmas. So I think, yeah, we'll see if Yeah.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 23: Cutting cutting down some of those regulations and all this
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 23: crazy stuff that goes that extends the timeline for a
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 23: bunch of stuff would really would really help, and that
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 23: that worth worth ethic, work ethic. I agree with your
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 23: eighty hour work principal work week principle and the hardcore.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: It's not for everyone.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: It's not for everyone, but I think.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 23: The principle is really cool, and I think we should
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 23: bring that culture and that mindset down of the forty.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: Hour work week or the fifty.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 23: I do fifty, but you know, work life balance potentially.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 23: But I love where you're taking your companies and it's
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 23: it's really cool to see.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 19: Well, thanks, thank you, Yeah, go ahead, Hello Elan, nice
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 19: to see you here tonight. So recently I was reading
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 19: an article on medium where a Italian researcher named Andrea
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 19: Rossi was able to demonstrate a new technology that he
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 19: invented that was able to extend the range.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: Of an electric vehicle.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 19: It was a technically like a quadricycle, so a very
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 19: low power electric vehicle by four times, and after the
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 19: full test that it actually increased the battery life of
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 19: the electric vehicle. And obviously, you know, we don't it's
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 19: only been demonstrated once. We don't know if this technology
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 19: could be replicated. But if it was able to be replicated,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 19: would you be interested in implementing this kind of technology
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 19: into your TESTA vehicles and even possibly the starship?
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I wish such a thing were real, but I
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: do not think that such a thing as real. That
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: there is you know, every industry has a certain amount
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: of BS, but the battery industry, I think might is
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: a candidate for industry with the most amount of BS.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: So it's it's just there's like electric chemistry is very difficult.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: In fact, one of the ways that I will test
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: like the intelligence of an AI system is ask a
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: battery electroc chemistry questions and rocket questions and usually comes
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: back with terrible answers. So it's it's it's it's extremely
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: difficult to increase the range, but the range is already
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: sufficient to fully electrify everything on Earth. So you know,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: tails us have over three hundred miles of range, and
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: some of them have like four hundred miles of range.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: We could actually make it go further. It's just that
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: that's like an unnecessary amount of battery for most people
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: because the amount of the amount of range that you
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: need in a battery is about the same amount of
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: range that your bladder has. Essentially, So if you know,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: if you start a trip at say nine am, around noon,
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: you want to probably hit the restroom, take a break,
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: you know, have a bite to eat, and you know,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: so you drive for three hours, maybe four hours, and
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: then charge the car.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: As long as the car is charged.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: By the time you come back from the bathroom and
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: have you know, had lunch or whatever. Then at long
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: distance trips are no problems that we're already we're already
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: there at this point.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but but there is no magical breakthrough.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: Would you also be.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 19: Willing if other technologies are discovered over the next few
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 19: years into the near future, would you also be willing
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 19: to that theoretically could revolutionize electrical vehicles, space travel. You know,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 19: exotic propulsion, exotic energy generation techniques. Are you interested in
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 19: researching those and potentially funding them and contributing to this
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 19: kind of research. I do think there is a lot
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 19: of technology out there that is not really mainstream that
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 19: it has potential, although it's in a very infantile stage.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: I think there is potential. I mean not only I
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: mean I'm both Tales and SpaceX are desperately interested in
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: anything that works. We're not like barring the door. We're like, please,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: if you've got something that works, tell us about it. Unfortunately,
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: it's rarely the case that it actually works, is the issue.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: So you know, for a while there, Tesla, I guess
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: maybe still do like we're just would rate any given
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: you know, proposed new technology out of ten, where ten
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: is is incredible and you know one is total total nonsense,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: and really nothing got above a four. So it's it's
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: just very difficult to do. But if if and I
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: would encourage anyone to say, prove me wrong, please do that.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: I would like to be proven wrong. That would be awesome.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, but just just compete with Tesla. That sounds
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: like you're great. If you know, if there's a some
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: technology that has much greater range, I would strongly recommend
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: they just kick our ass.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 24: You know, Yeah, Elon, Do you believe that Jesus the
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 24: Christ is a real person who was crucified and died
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 24: and has risen and that God is Jesus.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: What do you mean by a real person that he.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 24: Was alive back two thousand years ago and he was
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 24: the guy who was crucified?
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool, Yeah, no, I.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: Think there's yeah, I do think that's that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: I mean you get into like these you know, uh,
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: theocratical debates of the Trinity, and but I thought, you know,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, I think it's real.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 25: Sou by Elon. That feels very weird to say. But Hi,
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 25: my name is Chris Michaelson. I'm a Lancaster County resident.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 25: We're really happy to have you here.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you everybody.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 25: Look, I, like many of us here, feel that the
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 25: very construct, the constitution of our country is at stake
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 25: during this election. I'm a firm believer that those who
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 25: can should and I just want to say thank you
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 25: for being one of the very few powerful members outside
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 25: of the Construct who have the balls to stand up
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 25: here every.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: Day and do what you're doing. Big dude, thank you.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 8: Thanks. All right, there's a macho man's here.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 25: Look, President Trump has announced you or has announced that
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 25: he will appoint you as the.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: Head of the Efficiency Commission.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 25: Right, that's obviously a perfect spot for you, given your
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 25: historical success running lean and exceptionally profitable businesses. One of
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 25: my big concerns that extends beyond the disarray of our
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 25: financial constitution here is the technology attacks that have happened
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 25: in our country. Twenty twenty one, the Colonial pipeline ransomware attack. Yeah,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 25: twenty twenty one, robin Hood seven million users, data stolen,
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 25: their money held for ransom. Twenty twenty three, T Mobile
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 25: goes down overnight, airport attacks, airline attacks. Have you spoken
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 25: to Trump at all regarding your expertise around cybersecurity? Are
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 25: you going to have any involvement there? If not, do
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 25: you know who is and do you trust them? And
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 25: I have one more question, Well, I.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: Definitely, I certainly don't have all the answers here, and
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to tempt fate. But like
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: nobody has successfully hacked SpaceX or starlink, and they've been
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: every day, there are thousands of attempts to hack starlink
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: and no one has succeeded.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: Again, I don't want to tempt fate here.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: So this is not a tempt saying to hacker groups
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: out there, please hack starlink, like please don't hack starlink.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: But but thus far there have been many attempts by
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: individuals and state actors to hack into starlink and none
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: of them have been successful. So track recle it thus
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: far is pretty good. No one has successfully hacked into Yeah,
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: so far, so good. You know, don't want to be
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: complacent or anything. No one has hacked into the tel mothership,
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: like the the Tesla Core database. Many people have tried
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: to hack into the tel Core database, zero successes. Yeah,
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: I can certainly say like, now, government computers are not
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: super secure because it's the government, you know. So it's
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: like if you say, like, what is an easy thing
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: to hack? As the government computers are easy thing to hack.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: So it's not good. No, I agree.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: That's why I like, I'm you know, I'm like, as
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: a hardcore technology guy, I'm saying we should not have
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: voting machines, we should not have computers.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: Because that are two.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: Subject being hacked by by and it's like the subject
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: is being hacked by, you know, and the people protecting
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: these machines don't understand technology, and they could easily be bamboozled.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: So even with the best of intentions. So but it's
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: really hard to bamboozle paper ballots person with ID, which
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: is obviously how it should be. Yeah.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 25: We we've talked about baseball a couple of times. Tonight,
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 25: my brother's handicapped. Ryan.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: I love you.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 25: I'm sorry that you couldn't be here tonight. He's a
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 25: White Sox fan and he just wants to know if
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 25: you would consider buying them and turning them to a
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 25: reputable business.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: But I'm in technology guys, so I'm just you know,
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: I got to pick my battles here, so I'm just
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: I just try to make technologies that you will find useful.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 26: All right, Hi Eli, my name is Vladimir. I'm an
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 26: entrepreneur from Reading, Pennsylvania. I came all the way here
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 26: to see you because I'm not sure if you're going
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 26: to make it to read in Pennsylvania.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: I couldn't wait.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 26: Thank you so much for your contributions to the world.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 26: Thank you for Tesla Neurallink, SpaceX X. Everything that you're
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 26: doing is incredible, and thank you for stepping up with
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 26: your leadership to once again how to take our country back.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 26: It's my question to you, is regarding artificial intelligence probably
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 26: our greatest invention, hopefully not or last invention you were
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 26: really on the you were really advocating for basically regulating
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 26: the advances that we're making on artificial intelligence. How long
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 26: do you think it would be before we actually reach
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 26: AGI or artificial general intelligence and artificial super intelligence? And
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 26: are you still up for regulating this amazing invention that
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 26: we've summoned here?
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I do think there should be some
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: regulatory oversight for AI. So yeah, I mean it's it's
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: kind of your regulators is kind of like the referees
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: in a sports game. You know, whether it's baseball, basketball, anything,
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: any given sport. Uh, all the teams want to have
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: referees so that you know, the teams don't break the
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: rules and there's fair play.
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: So I think there there is a sort of a
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 2: right number of regulators.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: For any given industry, but there shouldn't be There shouldn't
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: be too many or too few. Now there's basically no
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: regulators in AI right now. So it's like having a
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: game with no referees. That's that's you know, subject to
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: something bad happening. So my recommendation would be to have
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, to have an AI regulatory agency at the
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: federal level. It should be you know, not not heavy handed.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: It should be, but there shouldn't be nothing. In contrast
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: in other industries where where there's excess regulation because these
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: regulatory agencies are just sort of grown over time to
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: the point where there are too many referees on the field.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 2: I think the sports analogy makes.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: A lot of sense, like you want to have enough
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: referees to have a fair game, but not so many
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: referees that people can't can't throw a pass on the
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: football field without hitting.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: A ref you know.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: That's that's the situation we got right now. It's like
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: you're trying to run downfield bam, you're just rub bumping
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: into the refs everywhere. So that's that, you know, we've
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: got to take some correct action there.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: So thank you.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 27: All right, Elon Musk, it's a pleasure to meet you.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 27: This should be sponsored by doctor Schulz. I don't know
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 27: how your few are doing it right now. I just
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 27: want to say thank you for being here tonight.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: It's an honor to be here with you.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 27: I actually have been waiting for almost a decade to
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 27: talk with you and ask you a few questions. All right,
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 27: First one, I want to just break right into business.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 27: A friend of mine is building the world's brightest light
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 27: in the world, powered completely by renewable and Teslas solar panels,
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 27: and we want to know if you'll turn it on
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 27: for us. It's been cleared, it's in Texas, the FAA
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 27: approved it. Will you turn it on for us?
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: Potentially?
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: Possibly?
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 2: When you say right us light, like, what do you mean?
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 27: Right than the Luxer? It'll have the International Space Station
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 27: and you can illuminate it at night.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, yes, yeah, you can light up the.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 27: Whole Grand Canyon as well. That's what the engineers say.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, so the hell of a light? Okay, it is sure.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 27: Test the solar panels too, so okay, great, that sounds good. Secondly,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 27: we've heard a lot of prayers tonight. I just want
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 27: to say a quick prayer for you and ask everybody
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 27: to join me and just put your hands up and
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 27: let's pray that God protects this man here. He's risking
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 27: his life, his family, and his future for people here
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 27: in a country who he believes in.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: And we believe in you, Elon, and thank you.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 27: Thank you for everything you're doing, and we ask God
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 27: that he protects you and keeps you safe in your
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 27: journey in protecting us in our country.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 27: Okay, So my question, my real question, is you've done
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 27: a ton of things. You've literally enabled mankind to live
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 27: amongst the stars.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 2: Well, not yet, but we're almost.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: We're getting there, yes, and I can. I want to
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: nerd out with you all day on this.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 27: Yeah, the NASA has been you know, tauted that the
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 27: fuel of the stars is hydrogen. I know, I know,
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 27: before you kill me, you're not a huge fan of hydrogen,
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 27: and I understand it has its flaws, but we do
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 27: have some incredible successes. And my question is for you,
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 27: if I were able to help you and provide you
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 27: with the right people and resources, would you be down
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 27: to basically involve yourself with us and help save our planet.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I do have seventeen jobs and with the Department
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency at eighteen, so you know, I have
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: to be cautious about taking on additional responsibility because it's
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: just physically impossible. But yeah, I mean, the biggest source
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: of energy by far is the sun, So nothing even
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: comes close to the Sun in terms of energy output.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: The Sun converts before million tons of master energy per second,
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: and it's been doing that for a very long time,
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: and we'll do that for many, many billions of years
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: to come. So one of the ways you can think
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: of it, the progress of any given civilization is on
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: the Kardashev scale, and so just simple way of thinking
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: about it is your Kottashev level one. If you've honessed
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: all the power of a planet, you're two. If you've
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: honessed all the power of a solar system, and you're three.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: If you've honessed the power of a galaxy. We're very
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: far from three, it's safe to say, but even from one.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: So when you think in Kodashev terms, it becomes very
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: obvious that the Sun is overwhelmingly the source of energy,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: and everything else is tiny potato, tiny, tiny, tiny potato.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: But hey, well, tiny potatoes wire fine for now. But
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: the Sun is overwhelmingly the big potato, the human potato.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: So it's really harnessing the power of the Sun that
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: will lead us to the stars.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 28: Hi hi Elon Dave from Lancaster County. First, thank you
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 28: so much for all the insight this evening and thought
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 28: provoking conversation.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 2: Two questions.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 28: One with slightly more than nine days until the election,
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 28: what would you recommends a thirty second pitch to convince
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 28: somebody not to believe what they're seeing on CBS, NBC
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 28: and ABC.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: I've got a great solution for that, which is send
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: them links to videos and information on the X platform.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 2: So if they say that, you know, Trump loves Nazis,
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 2: for example.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: Like well, actually here's the whole speech where he categorically
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: condemns Nazis, and yet the Democrats keep claiming that he
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: loves Nazis even though he specifically said he condemns in
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: the strongest possible terms. Uh, they still perpetuate to find
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: people hoax. You know, it's pretty insane. So for any
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: given thing that somebody says, well Trump is this all that,
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: just send them the actual speech. That's that's the antidote.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: Send them what he actually said, thank you, And then
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: the second part X platform actually has that, so you know,
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: that's that's the best way. Y.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 29: Hey, elon, John Scott, your old classmate from U Penn says, Hi, okay, cool,
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 29: thanks for a great earnings call. On Wednesday, welcome. My
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 29: name is Raphael Aziz. I'm a Coptic Orthodox Christian immigrant
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 29: from Alexandria, Egypt. I have lived through religious persecution before,
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 29: and I believe that the liberal and the woke movement
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 29: is a religious persecution today. It is anti Christian and
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 29: quite honestly anti religion. You have posted on x that
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 29: unless there is more bravery to stand up for what
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 29: is fair and right, Christianity will perish. My question to you,
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 29: Elon Musk, is very simple. Will you stand with the
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 29: Coptic Christian community, our brothers and sisters, the Catholic and Christians,
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 29: and the Protestant Evangelicals against the liberal movement that is
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 29: trying to destroy Christianity and religion in America.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm I'm I'm against I'm against
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: the work work religion is is fundamentally an extinctionist belief system.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: It's an extinctionist belief system. And I think we want
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: to we want to be expansionists. We want to expand
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: to the stars, we want to grow as a civilization.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 2: We don't want to go extinct. And so yeah, I.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: Absolutely support the Coptic Christians and like, I mean, really,
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: anyone who's like expansionists, who's whose believes in a future
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: that is better than the past, that in a future
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: where we grow.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 2: I massively support that.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 24: So all right, yeah, hi Elon, I'm Jeremy and I'm
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 24: from Earth, more specifically Bowmansville.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: But my question is address one astronomical unit.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 24: Can you give some insight into your decision making process
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 24: and worldview? I mean, I have a lot of respect
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 24: for what you've been able to accomplish so far, and
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 24: you have a huge vision for what you want to
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 24: accomplish so yet. And in that way, there's a crossover
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 24: between the areas that you're a subject expert in and politics.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 24: So if you have some insight into how you make
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 24: decisions in your worldview, then that enables us all to
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 24: trust you across a larger amount of issues.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: Sure. Well, you know, I'm a big believer in physics,
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: you know, which is like basically, if if you like,
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I sort of say, like, you know, everything
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: everything else is a recommendation pretty much, but physics is
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: the law. Like, if you break physics, you're gonna it's
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: not gonna. The rocket will explode and the car will
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: not work. So you have to adhere to physics in
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: order to make cars that work, and to make rockets
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: that work, in order to make space.
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 2: Internet that works.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: You you, because if you're wrong, then reality is a
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: very harsh judge.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 2: Reality is merciless.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: If you make advice that doesn't work, that that violates physics,
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: it simply doesn't work, and then you'll think rocket blows
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: up in the satellites don't work and the car's break.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: So you either you either if you make technology, you
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: either have a rigorous you.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 5: You you.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: Have to in order to make technology work, you must
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: have extremely rigorous pursuit of the truth because otherwise reality
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: will bite you in the as big time.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 30: Yeah, So all right, Hi, thank you for taking the
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 30: time to be with us today. My name is Justin Henson,
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 30: also Lancaster County native. My generation is inheriting housing shortage
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 30: and we're statistically less likely to take blue collar jobs. Obviously,
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 30: declining birth rates been discussed. There's not going to be
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 30: as many people to even fill blue collar jobs. What
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 30: do you think the solution is to the current housing
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 30: crisis that we're having in this country. In terms of pricing,
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 30: it seems like my generation is getting priced out of homes,
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 30: but also balancing the equity that people who currently own
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 30: their homes have and obviously not wanting to destroy that
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 30: as well.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: What do you see there to be a solution to
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 2: that problem?
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean the risk of being repetitive. I think
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: regulation is a strangling progress. And there's so many regulations.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: You know, you can't even like modify your kitchen or
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: you know, add add something to your house without getting
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: Azillian permits. So if we get if we reduce regulation,
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: you reduce the cost of new houses. So yeah, I
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: mean it's it's you know, if I know there's like
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: many small business owners and and builders in this audience,
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: and and who are listening, and anyone who has tried
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: to build things, whether it's you know, build build, build
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: a house, or do anything, build a business, you realize
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: just how much of a government burden there is. It's
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: it's massive, and uh there's a state burden as well
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 1: as a federal burden. But we can at least do
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: something about the federal burden, and then you know that
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: that's you know, at least we could we don't have
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: to have like four hundred and how many agencies there are.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 2: This is so crazy, you know, more I like, I'd
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 2: like to know if this is there.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: I've been this on a single member of Congress that
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: can name two hundred agencies, I'll be surprised.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 2: So, how many agencies do we need? Ninety nine?
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot. That sounds plan I need
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: to cover the basis? How many bases do we need
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: to cover? Anyway, it's a ninety nine basis sounds like
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: a lot. So anyway, I think we could just get
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 1: the governor of people's backs. Would be a bigger improvement
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: in the quality of life and cost of housing.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: And everything else. So, yes, Elon was going on big Dog. Hey,
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: how's it going.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to meet you.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: My name is Nathan, I'm from Columbia.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: Anyways, so.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 12: I was gonna ask how do it feel to be
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 12: the richest man in the world, and also kind of
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 12: get a picture with you real quick.
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: Well, we're on TV right now, so I think I
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: think actually we're we're both last streaming right now, and
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: I think probably to millions of people actually, so yeah,
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: so millions people. I think millions of people will actually
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: see us. We're now on screen for millions of people.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: In terms of how does it feel, I mean, it's
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: kind of a strange thing because I guess, like I'm
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: still very much like a technologist who, like, you know,
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: I just work a lot, you know, and then my
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: recreational activity is hanging out with friends and family and
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: playing video games, which is yeah, exactly, I played video
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: game Dablo out of the video games, so you know,
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: it's like, I don't I don't have like any yachts
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: or holiday homes or anything. So I guess if I
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: was to maybe live a more hedonistic life and you know,
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: had like yachts and islands or something like that, then
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: I would make more I got out of a movie
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: that every more. I don't know, but that's not my
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: idea of fun though, because I like, I'm like, you know,
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting. If I got sitting the beach, then I'm like,
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: this is boring. I know what I'm I supposed to
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: do now, you know. So I just like building things,
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: and I like being being productive and doing useful things
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: and making cool products, and that's it pretty much. I mean,
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: I also to like hanging out with friends and family
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: and stuff. But uh, you know, I'm not like saying,
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: how can I sort of well, ither I get you
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: out or anything like, I don't have a boat or
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: anything like that. So yeah, of course I still love it.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: You know, you're right, I do have boats.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 2: What are you talking force, Yes, there's a boat.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: We SpaceX has these ships that are for the rocket
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: lands on. You know, so I guess technically I do
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: own boats. Yeah, I stand corrected, Thank you. Yeah, maybe
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: I should like go sort of sailing around in one
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: of them or something.
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Hi Elon. My name is Bruce.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 31: I'm a voter here in Pennsylvania and it's really it
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 31: is an honor to meet you. You've been a very
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 31: strong inspiration for me and my family and all my friends,
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 31: so God bless you for that.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: Have a question right now about Latin America.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 31: You've obviously met President Naibukeleva Salvador, who has done.
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: An incredible job.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 2: He really has.
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: He's a very smart guy. Oh absolutely, absolutely, Like it's like, like,
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: you know, we had a long conversation about many subjects.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, he's really sharp guy. Absolutely.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 31: So following on that, what would you advocate for in
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 31: a second Trump administration to incentivize states like Mexico, Ecuador
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 31: and others into strengthening their policies on policing and economic
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 31: opportunities to stem the tide of illegal migration to the
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 31: US southern border.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah. Well, I mean, if there's prosperity in
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 1: those countries, then I think there would obviously be less
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: of a forcing function for legal migration. It's it's pretty tough,
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, and there's some lessons to be
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: learned there, Like when when Travis came to power in Venezuela,
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: one of the first things he did was take the
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: guns away from people, so he basically banned private gun
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: ownership under the guise of, you know, safety. And then
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: Maduro when he had the election recently, he lost by
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: a landslide and just ignored the election, and the people
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: protested when they got shot, they couldn't defend themselves. That's
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: why I need the Second Amendment. It's a critical thing.
