AFA's Air Warfare Symposium is a premier event for the aerospace and defense industry geared toward the professional development of Air Force officers, enlisted members, civilians, retirees, and veterans. The symposium harnesses the Air Force's innovative spirit through sessions focussed on innovation and exhibits that highlight the next generation of air, space, and cyber power. The symposium brings together the top leadership of the Air Force as well as leaders in industry, academia, and government officials to discuss the issues and challenges facing our Air Force today and in the future.
"Failure is essentially irrelevant unless it is catastrophic"
Elon Musk 2020.
Honestly Elon is a national treasure and he should have the full backing and help from the American people. He is killing himself for us and we don't appreciate him enough.
Yes. Not bad for a South African. 😂😂
Elon is a world treasure! We all need him to show us the reality that should be but currently is not, due to corporate greed.
National treasure coming from another country... Like all the USA's "National treasures". No offence, it's just the truth.
Milen Dimitrov There’s a reason the US has the best talent in the world. Elon chose to develop his companies here, and has the backing of the Government whereas other countries didn’t see the potential.
fun fact he is South African
The interviewing general has soooooo much patience...and compassion...
Its probably humbling sitting next to someone that wealthy and proven.
“Fighter jet era has passed” to say in the room full of pilots , epic !
Well that indeed aged like fine wine
(Ukraine drones)
44:00
"Failure is essentially irrelevant unless it is catastrophic"
How Edison ....
I loved his baseball analogy, it was pretty eye opening personally, understanding how Elon personally sees a failed launch (strike one), he’s looking at the batting average.
that's how to keep learning and improving yourself after childhood is gone 👆
It makes sense, you learn more from a catastrophic failure.
Imagine turning up to an interview and the interviewer saying that "So whats your definition of catastrophic?"
Elon the most influential man of the century.
Yes, and why? Elon is influential because of his accomplishments not his speech. Normally the lying stream media would barbecue someone like him for his speech patterns. But his successes would make anything they could say about him seem stupid.
@@ThomasLee123 Naw Elon has great speech because he truly thinks about every answer he gives.
Oh never mind about that Steven guy? Steven Hawkings just made the physics and equations that are needed to make what Elon does possible. Steven Hawkins is certainly up there for the greatest mind of this century. I love Elon and I like how he gives credit where credit is due. I love the great men and women of this century that pushed to break barriers and push the limits so that up coming innovators like Elon and the next generation of geniuses will have a great start in technology on every level due to the great men and women that paved the way for men like Steven Hawkins and Elon Musk to push the envelope for the good of humanity. The next generation is going to have a great start because of these men and women like Elon that have done the hard work for them so they can get on the good stuff right away. I’d like to thank Elon’s wife and Children for sharing himself with everyone so this world would be better . To your children- hey have shared their Daddy with everyoneyour kids will see that their father has done this for them and the future of mankind. They will understand all of this one day
@@ThomasLee123 👍
austin collin he is a clown.... the most influential is Obama because he is black, and a nice guy. Elon is not nice and therefore is not influential!
I don't think Elon is into war, he just wants to explore❤
He's searching for peace like all of us.
I love how serious he is about these big dreams that people laugh at and only think of as sci-fi fiction. He really wants to make what we’ve seen in comics and movies real, and shows us it’s not impossible. Dude is dead serious about star fleet and making it like Star Trek even though people laugh. I love it.
But why? Nothing but rocks out there
@@vihreelinja4743 the pursuit of space exploration reaps many great benefits. If you think about the pursuit of space exploration, it really is the pursuit of understanding physics and the laws of nature, and just incredible feats of engineering. Aside from my curiosity and wanting to see if there is life beyond Earth, lots of NASA research has given us luxuries that we know today. NASA has helped us understand climate change better and the impact of what we are doing to our planet. If we can study other planets as well, we can better understand our own. Other examples of benefits we gain include LASIK eye surgery, solar energy, fire resistant material that our firefighters use today, artificial limbs, the MRI machines we use today in our hospitals, etc etc. The list goes on and on.
Furthermore, humans have always yearned to explore, to find out whats beyond. Aside from just understanding science better, I think it's a noble thing to want to learn how our universe works, and going beyond Earth will be critical. Imagine if early European explorers looked across the Atlantic Ocean and said, meh, not worth it.
curiosity killed cat
For real man like look what he’s done with his rockets already like how they land that was unseen before he came along a true god on earth in my opinion
@@vihreelinja4743 Bro we live in a huge rock what are u on? I want you to come back to this comment in 10 & 15 years from now on and see how many ppl like u have changed their mind is space
Please don’t die
I can't believe that Time Magazine listed people like Cardi B and Ariana Grande as the most influential people of 2019 yet they didn't even mention him 😔
Its not Time Magazine's fault honey,its the people!,unfortunately that is what they are more in interested in and influenced by...😢
@@mukhezamukheza623 I guess you have a good point
There’s many people or corporations who’s products or inventions have the biggest impact or influence but because most people who read or pay attention to certain information outlets are a certain age or are interested in certain “things” newspapers, articles... tend to focus on pop culture figures because unfortunately that’s what the majority (non intellectuals) tend to follow or invest their time on.
Because they are not interested in building the spirit and knowledge and understanding of the public; they are happy dummyin down the people
@@carmenliedke8659 I agree
The way Elon talks is like he's from the future and he's trying not to say something that might disrupt the space time continuum.
how do you know that? it's supposed to be top secret
@@janszy9735 everione know's that
It's called stuttering. Very smart people have a hard time speaking, too.
@@lovewilliams4500 yeah he also has eidetic memory so I think the reason he looks up is that. I get super annoyed when people bug him and say he cant talk.
@@kimjongun3890 I know about his memory. Looking up is not the problem. In fact, a lot of us do that from time to time. He is not a good speaker. Regardless of where is eyes wonder off to. Elon is probably not reading this. So I doubt that what I write bugs him.
He values his goals more than his wealth. That's awesome.
Every time I listen to Elon Musk it gives me hope for mankind
I can't believe that from 7.5 billion people, 1 guy is leading us to space exploration.. where are the rest Elon Musks? 🤔
They are being dashed by the system
Inhibited by our own shortcomings. You already know this ya procrastinator
Some of them are probably working for him
They weren’t lucky enough to be billionaires
They don’t work as hard or give up and procrastinate and think other people are going to do it for them.🤷♂️
Elon needs starfleet to happen because he wants to go home
LOL
Good one, HAHA!
This one made me laugh for real.😂😂
I want to go home with him
Why? I think he's sufficiently violated the temporal prime directive that he would be imprisoned if he went home.
“It good to have competition where somebody can actually loose.”
*lose
He's so smart, & considerate that he took 25 minutes to explain that the air forces tactics are outdated, what they need to work on, that thier innovation in drone technology is needed to prevail over China, which will gave twice the economy of the US. Great
the size of his balls: going to an AFA symposium and telling them " the fighter jet era has passed "
41:10
And then immediately countered with his failures. That was a rude answer in complete denial.
Drones will be the future war fare .
@@ibrudiiv It was probably next on the list of questions anyway, but it was funny.
Yes
Well, they know it's true themselves.
It’s crazy how Elon speaks. When he explains something, he speaks like a scientist. He breaks it down by numbers, risks, and outcome.
@Kévin Fouache You're right but still there's more to it. For logic and math to work as precise, sensible and "fresh" as it does for Elon there needs to be a definitive connection to ...something that is hard to put into words, a truth which is situated in emptiness and in the now.
He is a scientist, studied material science at some point.
He definitely gets debriefed.
You should see when he does Q&A's at Universities. His spectrum of knowledge, and ability to assess and response almost instantly with valuable relevant information is seriously impressive.
@@BenDunlop I feel like im the only one that saw this.... This was a terrible interview for Elon compared to normal.
he was in terrible form as far as answering questions goes. Normally someone asks him a question.... then he pauses and finds the answer.... then he will be like "uhh so AI is...." then he pauses and stumbles again while he is dumbing down the answer for the interviewer
ormal people to understand. This is normal Elon as i see him.
In this interview.... he just looked like a bumbling mess and never really directly answered questions. Such as
This is the abridged version but watch this video again.... this really is how the conversation flows.
Q: "So what are some of your processes\management advice\tricks."
A: "We need sustainable rockets and we have to get to Mars."
Seriously? wtf! The dude is truly an asset to this country. I really hope whatever was wrong with him at this interview isnt his new normal.
I'd say he hesitates a lot when he speaks because he has such a huge amount of knowledge, and so much going through his head at once. He's probably got a dozen things going on in his mind while doing this interview.
His brain presents information faster than he can speak
Jufvk
Elon: "The Chinese economy will probably be at least twice as big as the US economy." General in the control room: "Ok time to wrap up this up... cue the soft jazz...."
You’re rightttttt LOLOLOLOL
fucking hilarious
Haha
Chyna 🙉🙉🙉🙉
Lmao
Thank god for this man moderating, he is so good at handling Elon and giving him the best opportunity to get his thoughts out and still keep a sense of direction LOL. Love them both
Man there needs too be more interviewers like this guy, his questions are so precise and fundamental to their discussion you can actually learn here, perspective is everything, Good Job man.
Yes, I was very impressed with the interviewer. I didn't expect that from a General. Questions on point. Didn't interrupt the great one when he was talking and dived in when Elon was running out of answer. Excellent. (Media stations please take notes!)
Yeah, u got it.
He was exceptional. Very respectful as well and seemed to be very knowledgeable himself.
@@johnwilson5743 i’m
l
His personality is stunning.
He lights up the whole room with his persona and voice.
Nothing compares to him and his unparalleled genius.
41:18 Elon tells a bunch of Air Force people that the fighter jet era has passed 😂
We aren't in a simulation, this is a movie and Musk is the main character
jazz music think it is. lol, random anomalies at precise points in time. 360 degrees is 12 o'clock 90 degrees is passed 15, 180, passe 30...and so on, precise points... 369 teslas... place on stun ... loll 369 pow...loln check firts if it has a navy seal...we mite be playing code master.loll shot only on 9 if so...and stun only, we are peacekeepers remember. ? lol the magicien will appear on 9...
Yea but no super heroes are coming to save us like were programmed to believe. We MUST save ourselves!
Stephane fyfe wtf are you high
@@INFINITEXII stay on the subject, weed is just a gateway drug. lol
@@INFINITEXIIi will give you one hint, look up sums of nine...let me know what you got. soul are on the live cabin man.? lol
That dude needs a different camo pattern for this terrain.
Not for Central Florida
You know how long it took and how much taxpayer money went to just getting that design and how big of a deal was made to get it
It does look like 2 guys dressed for camouflage, but only Elon succeeded. xD
Well, he does have some shrubbery next to him. Lol.
@@thanakislupusthesaltywolve7208 literally billions of dollars went into that uniform.
Why does the interviewer look like he's from the simpsons
Facts 🤣🤣
Because he is a General!
That laugh by Elon at 3:09 is like he’s a alien and he thought oh yeah I’m supposed to laugh/ show human emotions. Ps I don’t believe Elon is an alien
Absolutely endearing. I enjoy listening to him think. Imagination meets intelligence, chaperoned by a shy, mischevious, determined, boyish heart -- that is Elon Musk.
I really like your assessment of his statement.
Crystal Betteridge .. Just because you fancy the pants off him😁
Read what the exwife wrote about him.
Judge him by his results.
39:55 Talks about drones and the fighter jet era being over.
He is so smart. In the Last syrian conflict turkish drones destroyed syrian army defence systems . Those were best russian air defence system and were just easy target for turkish drones. This drone technology is surely future of war.elon musk is right.
War in Karabakh prooved his point once again
Fighters accompanied by drones (now) then...
Can't wait to hear that part! 👂
Yes sir
I love the analogies Elon Musk makes when he explains things - it's obvious how smart he is when he can explain such complex things in a manner that is accessible to anyone. High contrast to the interviewer's questions which sound more complicated lol.
Not being able to turn off some music shows just how far we have to go.
He chooses his words very carefully. When talking about outcome, he specifically means outcome and not output... It is a distinction which is lost on most, it was on me until not too long ago. Outcome means goal, intent and a strategy, output meams a lack of strategy or at least the risk of a disconnect between strategy and the translation into actionable items.
Hearing him talk he is the living breathing poster child for congruent thought and behavior. Impressive.
Nah I think that as well. He has good control. Actually inspiring
I'm pretty sure he means output. He specifically says net useful output and strategy would simply be part of ur set of actions.
@3:03 *Slight Comedy Identified
Run chuckle.exe...*
😂
man was thinking the exact same thing :DDD
There’s no way Elon is running on Windows...
😂😂
I almost reported this while I was crying my eyes out🤣
One of the best interviewers with Elon.
One day on Twitter, I made such an amazing discovery for myself, who called Elon Musk and
I was so surprise and I was filles with admiration to him.
So extraordinary charm, simplicity, tolerance and not a single trace of arrogance inherent in the rich and famous of this word...
Elon, you are wonderful and you are only one exception to the existing rules...
Please, do not change, remain yourself, the way you are today, tomorrow and for ever!
Good Luck, dear Air Man!
With admiration, Elena S. (Ukraine)
I love watching Elon talk because whenever there is silence he just talks about spaceships😂
Love Elon he is definitely my favorite person
Imagine being "Tony Stark" and you're being interviewed by a three star General. Amazing.
I was just thinking he looks so bored up there
Tony Stark?
Where do you see the similarities?
Genius - check
Billionaire - check
Playboy - not really (has kids, so BETTER than Stark)
Philanthropist - check
Still can't figure it out???
@Wylde Wylde he didn't create Tesla it was created and founded by two other guys , every legit doc mentions that , or shows Elon saying it, he invented the Model S, 3,X, Y
Most of his answers come back to space at the end. This is how much he loves Space.
I do love reading the comments whilst listning to elon..really makes it a extrodinary page too be on...I thank all of u guys
Imagine spending an hour in the morning trying to work out what to wear to my local Elon Musk conference, only to discover everyone else had the same idea.
Lool
Haha that is! Funny ;-)
😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
What a great interview.
That soldier dude showed how interviews are done.
Just shows. He gets the subject. He's interested. He's invested.
A model to separate the wheat from chaff in the scummy media.
@@abdillin No doubts the questions asked were a big part of the reason.
You have got to be kidding. That guy is grasping at air and we know that EM hates it when people try too hard to ask complex wordy questions. 12:40-13:14 when EM attempts to answer he only knows what LOL.
@@Rebeccaturnerrescue Not the best question, yes, but still "failure is irrelevant when the net outcome is good" ;)
And it _was_ good, I agree with Jan Day - this General Thompson is an awesome interviewer. I never seen him before, but this video alone made me respect him a lot.
That “soldier” is a 3-star general... You don’t get that high up in the military without complete competence and superior domain knowledge
@@Rebeccaturnerrescue Oh shut up. The Technology he probably deals with would blow your mind. Stop assuming that everyone besides Elon is some moron.
The thing I love about Elon Musk is that even though his mind works beyond our comprehension ie building his own reusable space rockets, electric vehicle motors. He can explain it so simply where we don't get lost in translation.
Everyone is talking about where he is coming from and in which country he is making things. I dont think it matters I'm french and I'm inspired by the future of humanity and I'm gladd I'm alive to see that coming. Whatever the country he is in , if he has the resources to make it happen then perfect. If he needs to be in every big country of the world to make it happen ,then perfect . Only matter that it happen . Not where he is from...
Why Elon Musk has a hard time talking? Well, every single thought of his contains 99.9% classified information.
Plus he dumbs down everything. Listen to a one on one interview with Neil Degrasse Tyson. He speaks normal and fast! as they both "smart". But when there are lots of ppl he wants everyone to follow.
facts
He also isnt the best at putting his thoughts into words. Not uncommon among really smart people.
I believe his thoughts run through his head so fast he has to back up and think through each one even if it's only a millisecond for each one to determine the right response
YOU ARE 99.9.999% CORRECT There are some things he is working on that HE DID HAVE to sign a NON DISCLOSURE for.... Some of this, when it comes to the public's brain dead realization...It WILL BE TOOOOOOO late. But THE CHIPS will be ready by then...You could get one and they can change your mood about your realized disappointment.... I understand why this is being done, I just dont feel comfortable about some of the aspects. BETTER THE U.S.A Than some other COUNTRY!!!!! BUT THEN AGAIN AMERICA TESTS ON ITS OWN CITIZENS QUICK A.H.....I'LL HAVE TO GET A CHIP...TO FIX THE BRAIN DAMAGE CAUSED FROM BEIN' BEAMED ON.....WELL DAUM.
he definitely did not want to speak on the future of weapons
He doesn't wanna build weapons unless we are at war with aliens.
Richyashringa Batsya Funny that the people that are interviewing him are creating aliens through the MIC.
Don't give secrets away!
It's definitely classified.
5 g is
Great interview. Amazed it's taken me so long to watch this. Wonder why they cut off the standing ovation he received at the very end?
thank you for the best, most informative interview i have seen with mr. musk, to date. 🤍📐⚙️
Yes we want star fleet .your right on the money my friend.
They laughed. He wasn't joking.
If we dont China will. Humans dont have rights in china. Imagine if they owned Mars.. Slaves forever?
@@nedaltrebor8553 Indeed
it's weird having these crazy daydreams and realising there's actually someone out there who will just go and make it happen without a second thought
i actually didn't know they open-sourced their patents... that is the greatest thing any production company can do to help boost the insdusty instead of dominating it like most company want to do, great respect for that
Been doing it for along time
It has to be the software.
Shout out to the interviewer. Elon is not an easy guy to interview. Even Joe Rogan said after Elon was on his podcast he was one of the hardest guys to interview.
I thought this interviewer asked very clear questions and allowed Elon to expand on each question.
Elon pioneers a lot of future and forward thinking for society. This is what the US needs, more so in the world. A lot of his endeavors were for man-kind and a true vision beyond the issues we currently face. I hope there are gonna be more people like him in society.
“Failure is essentially irrelevant (unless it’s catastrophic)” Failure leads to innovation
What government political bureaucrat could understand and do that? (intentionally). Of course this is communisms undoing. Where China is, and tragically where some Americans want to be.
It's really really useful when the people doing your design also know about manufacturing systems so they intentionally make things manufacturable from the beginning.
Bill Kong that’s why he said the best design is no design or something like that
100% As someone who works in manufacturing it is very important to have an open line of communication between your engineering department and your manufacturing experts. There can often be a disconnect between these two lines of thinking. When an engineer is designing something new, they do not always know the how easy or hard it is to manufacture the different various components he has added to his design or how easy or hard it is to obtain the materials he has decided to use. More experienced engineers who have a history of working with manufacturing experts can get better at this but there needs to be an open line of communication with engineers doing R&D and your welding, machining, assembly, & material procurement experts. As Elon said, it is infinitely harder to design the "machine" that builds the machine. Perfecting your manufacturing process is the real challenge.
As someone who designs his own products, I find I do much more thinking about the machines to make the product, and how to do it in fewer steps, and to absolutely simplify final design. Refining to simple takes time, lots of prototypes.
Wow best interview ever....very informative and very excilent Q&A
Elon... He is South Africa's gift to the US
General: What kind of weaponry is on a Falcon 9 Heavy and how can we use it against China?
Elon: Look man, I just wanna go to mars.
😂
Haha
Yeah the military is just his day job not his favourite hobby.
what time stamp does he talk about that?
100 t of payload.
It's 500 w88 warheads. Or 15 000 steel rods.
"We got to make Starfleet happen." - Elon Musk.
Dumbest thing ever. Better to solve earth problems first.
@@vihreelinja4743 that's what space travel does. We can mine asteroids for materials we don't have now
I really benefitted from this interview/symposium. I have always loved the airforce/armed forces. I'm in total agreement of the necessity of being #1. The USA has always been a fight for peace force. If the USA does not retain this status/position they will become a victim of a dictatorship. Noone will be left to save the weak and vulnerable we will become the weak and vulerable. Stay strong and smart America. We need more Elon's...we need our smartest and strongest armed forces. Keep the high tech and innovation above and beyond...keep us surrounded with the best and brightest for the hightest outcome. We need the critical thinkers and problem solvers. We need to stay smart and strong...and appreciate smooth jazz😄
The last 10 minutes are about the best on CZcams :|
Real life Tony Stark
Only no Audi, not needed ...
Tesla
lol no.
ehm, that's a stretch )
As much I like wha Muck does his crowd work is nowhere near the fictional blend of Howard Hughes and Hugh Hefner.
Yep without the extrovert part
Elon looks uncomfortable there but he is actually comfortable
What mental issues other than a brilliant mind?
@Liam hey relax will ya? Jesus.
@Liam i loved how unnecessarely rude you were specially that last phrase, still correct
A world with a Starfleet, that'll be a dream, given today's state of the world's society.
Hugs
Thank you for sharing, really inspiring!
It is incredible how even now, when we talk about going to other planets, we still think in terms of a polarized world, of Americans versus other power poles, as usual. Instead of coming together as a species and combining our efforts and ideas, we still hope to export our wars, hatred and power struggle to the rest of the universe. No matter how big the technological progress, as long as the ego will prevail, as long as we will not learn empathy and respect for the others members of our species and for other species, humans will remain fundamentally dumb.
It's not wrong to be idealistic, but we also have to take into consideration that for example the communist party of China's ideals are not the same as yours. China's foreign policy is only becoming more and more aggressive as its power is growing and we have to be realistic about that or they will continue to take advantage in every way.
He said StarFleet that's the world coming together , watch ST much?
Thank you morning 🌟,incredible indeed,making his future market ,business as usual,in the end we are doing it together,we just think we outsmart the other,reverse engineering ,patent control and industrial Spionage prevents that I would think! We have to get rid of possessive behavior ,it's for all of us always to share,that would be progress,it's not present!
..on and on!
Back to the roots ,hands off space-i say,plenty of projects on mothership Earth!
This sounds great, but as @knapret said, countries have different ideals. It IS a competition, and it always will be. We are humans, the ego and the desire for survival rises to the top.
part of human nature to define others to define yourself, there you go, us and them,. It becomes addictive and a easy way out for a troubled mind, its gathering the society ( tribe) around a story/goal, releasing big comfort for some, and direction for the acting/progressive. So the most gathering for all earth humans to happen is finding intelligent life in space. Climate crisis is not gonna do it, its also a fight.. Elon might think, just going into space can do it. Its a heavy, ressource consuming activity for the limited. Compared to 1bn on earth doesn`t have toilets. Plain toilets. How about that. Lots of people have no light in there “houses” , even in daytime. but a spaceship, hell yeah, just gettin there
tough questions for a CEO indeed.He has to apply deep thoughts to answer those properly and also keep the stock price not impacted.
Also Elon: Tesla's stock is too high...
@@abrahamkristanto8531 His words in tweet are used in AI based a stock analytics software..in this case it may trigger a short sell.
Thank you for this.
Great interview, the questions asked where good
Some points I made, not exhaustive by any means, mostly relate to innovation. I can add to this list if y'all suggest more timestamps!
17:33 Good to have competition where it is meaningful i.e. where someone can actually lose
17:53 Motivation workforce question, what sort of things do you look for in people or processes that make things better
19:30 Do you think the carrot and stick approach make people more risk-averse or less risk-averse
41:25 Dealing with failures, question 42:30 answer
45:23 The real way of protecting IP!
45:50 Speed of Innovation is what matters, innovation without time metric is meaningless
46:31 Larger companies slower innovation, means messed up incentive structure
47:11 US-China competition 47:38 answer
50:36 Culture that drives innovation 51:54 answer
53:11 Elon's message for the audience
Thanks a lot!
@@munachison.5408 cheers! Thanks for reminding me again of this video! Have you found other similar interviews of Elon? Asking cuz this is 2 years old and by now there might be more similar interviews
Cheers, have a great day ahead!
@@rishi-m Hey! Yeah I have seen a lot of older interviews which were really good; if you haven't already, checkout his interviews with Lex Fridman

You just gotta love Elon! He thought he had a handheld microphone for a second :D
😂
Lool
😂
He looks so tired, I'm not sure if we should laugh or worry
Good spot anyway
Bravo! According to his great works,
Elon is the most innovative person:) What a lucky 🍀 country USA
I really admired his creativity and leadership!
“The foundation of war is economics” jazz music starts playing... 😂😂😂 Smooth Musk for the next couple minutes haha
Is it funny though?
48:48
Smooooooth Operator Musk 🤩🤩🤩
It was absolutely on purpose because he started to talk about China getting bigger than America and they didn't like it
lmao
Great questions directed to Mr Musk, in fact it's the fist time I've seen well directed questions to gain an insight into processes of innovation. It had to be the Air Force Association who obviously survives through innovation. Thank You.
Have any of us seriously considered the possibility that Mr. Musk is actually a spokesperson for a group of highly capable individuals (a secret intellectual & financial team) with the goal of redirecting the trajectory of human progress ?
How he turns those great ideas into reality and make them work at the minimal cost of production is just amazing. We all have great ideas, but how we can make them real is hard. He is great example for everyone. He has great dreams for humanity's future. Although he is very rich now, I think that was not his primary goal. It just happens because his ideas worked.
I could sit and talk with Elon for years and enjoy his mind the whole time.
I agree. I would love to be a friend to him. I could pick his brain for a lifetime
"We're building a starship" he says nonchalantly haha
I used to think a President of the United States was an American Hero worthy of looking up to, but in reality..it's ELON
This man is an Interplanetary Revolutionary
Just make sure your rate of innovation is fast.
My rate is fast
@@jonaslegend1309 this guy's talking in radio.
literally about to comment the same thing.
solid questions mr interviewer
Two great men - great to see commanders understanding the business space too.
Wow,was this a treat. They really get you to thinking 🤔.
Hard for him to slow the verbal expression of the thoughts of a gifted powerful brain to a normal speed. His disposition and
His humbleness is admirable and so is his love for the US.
He doesn't need an introduction. all man should know him...
Time will tell if it's a "good" or "bad" thing. He sure helps a few gain powers that have never been seen before.
Amazing interview with very informative stuff!
"and look forward to doing alot of interesting things in the future"
that sounded scary af
The fact that he's doing this for humanity is amazing. A lot of this stuff will never benefit him in this lifetime yet he is improving the functionality of the entire world for generations to come. It's a selfless act. In my opinion. Pretty amazing.
I agree, Elon is very selfless in his search for a better future for all of us. Most will never appreciate his modern Einstein brain...
Well he is the richest dude on earth so not entirelly selfless. But yeah I agree with you
45:00 nail on the head what he's talking about! Innovation is king!
I have to hand it to General Thompson for really steering the conversation and being able to simplify Elon's somewhat technical answers at times to well meaningful questions within the context of the conversation.
Man, this is a smart interviewer...
Beautiful person. Honest and smart. Good heart. Even his innocent looking child-like mannerisms are wonderful. No angle but a direct angle. Elon is a God-send.
@Logos Learner I am judging Elon on his actions.
@Marten Dekker I meant angle as in no ulterior motive. Not angel. Lol
Elon is the real Tony Stark of our time
You got it and we need it 🤘
Is there a transcript of this anywhere? Musk's comments on innovation and failure here are pretty standard for him, but how he articulates the principles here is pretty effective and unique.
I mean Elon is right unmanned drones in the future would probably be well developed enough to take down these fighter jets and at a fraction of the price with no risk to the controller flying it.

Love and support from India 💞

You know All the Tesla owners are officers in that crowd 😂
