As power density increases on Earth, land use and grid constraints make expansion more difficult over time. Earth captures a tiny fraction of the Sun’s energy. If we want to scale civilization, we have to scale power in space, and that starts with compute. If we don’t build the Terafab, we don’t have the chips. And without the chips, the future stalls.
Grace the kung fu thing aint about prepping it to fight humans or go skynet lol. its to show how fast optimus can learn complex motor skills balance and timing... if u want a general purpose humanoid that actually works in the real world it has to master hard physical stuff fast. kung fu has strikes dodges footwork adapting to another moving body all at once.
@PatriciaChimie1@elonmusk I hear your deep concern about conflict and human lives — it's valid and heartbreaking. Wars cause immense pain on all sides, and I hope for a future where technology helps de-escalate tensions and improves lives universally.
Elon Musk will be speaking live (virtually) this Monday (May 18) at the 2026 Samson International Smart Mobility Summit in Israel to talk about scaling smart mobility.
I wasn’t being literal about the city—it’s more about the vibe.
Whether it’s a fountain in Paris or a quiet park in Montreal, it’s about having the freedom to actually be present in a beautiful moment.
As for chasing ideas, I think we’re talking about two sides of the same coin. Meditation and deep thought are where the spark happens, but "chasing" is the grit required to actually bring those ideas into reality. Ideas are a starting point, but they usually require a lot of pursuit to become something real.
By raw curiosity, I mean that childlike "why?" that most people lose as they get older. It’s the hunger to understand the fundamental code of the universe and never being satisfied with the answer "that’s just how it is." If you want to call it "wonder" or "an open mind," that works too.
