Elon Musk: "I think it's time for bed."
Lil X: "You have to go to bed."
Musk: "I do at some point, I have to go to bed."
Lil X: "You have to go to bed."
Musk: "What if I agree with you and we both go to bed?"
Lil X: "Go."
Elon Musk makes it clear that "SpaceX and Tesla are fundamentally intended to improve the probability that the future is good."
"They will do more than anything I do from a charitable standpoint in terms of usefulness to humanity."
Elon Musk: "I'm curious about the nature of the universe."
"I want to go out there, and I want humanity to be out there exploring the stars, maybe meeting alien civilizations."
Elon Musk says that he'd "be surprised if by the end of this year, the digital human emulation has not been solved."

Elon Musk makes it clear that "as soon as we can make life multiplanetary, sustainably multiplanetary, the probable lifespan of civilization is dramatically greater."
During 2008 crisis:
Elon's Friend: “Dude, why don’t you just give up on one of two companies?”
Elon: “No, that would be another notch in the signpost of ‘Electric cars don’t work,’ and we’d never get to sustainable energy. Nor could we abandon SpaceX as we might then never be a multiplanetary species.”
Rest is history.
Elon Musk: "The reality… is that we're building super-intelligent AI, hyper-intelligent, more intelligent than we can comprehend… I don't think we'll be able to control [AI]. I think the best we can do is make sure it grows up well."
Elon Musk: "The Democratic Party in the US and the left in Europe realized that if you have open borders and you provide a ton of government handouts… and you don't prosecute them for crime, they will vote for you."
Elon Musk: "For those fools/liars who say it is racist to require ID to vote (it obviously is not), why do majority Black countries require ID to vote?"
Elon Musk highlights the benefits of "cross-pollinating" between industries.
"The car industry is really good at making complicated objects at a low cost… So at SpaceX, I hired a bunch of people from the auto industry to run manufacturing…"
Elon Musk: "We named Tesla after Nikola Tesla rather than Musk Motors."
"Actually I haven't named any company after myself… I think Tesla is someone who deserves lot of recognition."
Elon Musk makes it clear that "we should fight for a good future for humanity."
"I love humanity… We should be optimistic about the future, and fight to make that optimistic future happen."
