“How long would you want to live?”
Elon asked the question first, and he kept saying:
“One of the worst curses you could possibly give anyone would be, “May you live forever.”
Then he said the line that actually matters:
“I’ve long thought that longevity or semi-immortality is an extremely solvable problem. I don’t think it’s a particularly hard problem.”
His reason was simple. The body ages in sync. Nobody has an old left arm and a young right arm. So the clock must be obvious.
“This is the way you’re programmed to die. If you change the program, you will live longer.”
Bowhead whales get 200 years. Greenland sharks get 500. Why them and not us? Hardware or software — and the tech to solve it is coming.
The only rule added: don’t die of something stupid before the solution arrives.
Peter Diamandis offered him to upload his full genome. Elon laughed: “Don’t clone me, bro.”
Too late, they said. It’s already in the works.🤣
Elon doesn’t want forever. He wants enough time for humans to leave the solar system.💫

@WilliamShatner@RiotFest Bill, if I may...
I loved your album Has Been, particularly the recording "Common People." I'm looking forward to your boldly goings on.
Hey @RiotFest?
What's going on with my Rider? I've been keeping track here and noticed you've been a bit....silent...🤐.😱
I'm getting worried. 😰

Hello, neighbor! Kid Ramos is one of the wonderful artists featured on our Three Stars Tribute album, and I love the way he puts it: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper are part of the very foundation of rock & roll.
I’m proud to have Kid helping us keep that foundation, and this great music, alive nearly 70 years later! Get your own copy of the Three Stars Tribute album at the link below.

He’s a pretty stupid guy who literally has no idea what he’s talking about
Elon saved NASA from literally burning taxpayer money, saved billions, and gave the US the ability to send astronauts to space and bring them back
Elon leads in EVs.....
The fact is, almost nobody wanted EVs before Elon. Now he has forced the entire auto industry to move toward them
I can go on for a whole day and the list still wouldn’t be over
There’s literally no truth to what this idiot is saying
He just has this bloodthirsty hatred for Elon that he’ll go to any lengths to paint him as bad.....to make him look like some kind of villain
Ask the people who work with Elon. Ask the people who actually know him
They’ll tell you the truth
Why they attack the man who actually builds?
This is not a mystery. It is a mechanism.
The person who does more real work for civilization than entire newsrooms, ministries, and think tanks combined will be attacked. Always. The more he delivers, the louder they scream.
Elon Musk builds rockets so humanity is not stuck on one planet. He builds cars that actually work, not just exist in slide decks. He builds a network that puts internet where governments want silence. He builds AI meant to seek truth instead of ideology. For that he gets hate, vandalism, lies, and a permanent media barrage.
Why?
Because people who build nothing cannot stand people who build.
Legacy media lives on clicks, fear, and advertising protection money. Elon does not pay it. So they attack. Simple.
Bureaucrats fear anyone who proves things can be done faster, cheaper, and without their permission.
Parasites hate the host that stops being a cash cow.
The woke mind virus cannot tolerate reality. Elon is reality: physics, engineering, results. Not narrative.
This is not complicated philosophy.
Good people are attacked by bad people because good people turn the lights on. They show that competence exists. That you can ship instead of speechify. That you can refuse to lie. That you can refuse to feed off others.
That is why the hatred is so intense. Not because he is "evil." Because he is effective. Because he is a threat to a system that survives on failure, control, and fiction.
He said it himself, as plainly as it gets: his companies make products people love, and he has never physically hurt anyone. So where does the rage come from? Because he is a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls.
Understand this once and for all.
Not so you can complain.
Not so you can wait for fairness from the same people throwing the punches.
So you keep building.
The attackers will leave ruins and old headlines.
The man they attack will leave rockets, a network, cars, and a chance that humanity does not die on one planet.
That is the whole story. The rest is noise.
@elonmusk , we the team on X will always support you.❤️
I'm waiting for a real film about you.
Not about the noise. Not about the ones who bite from below.
About what got built when they meant to bury you.
I think it's time to make it.
Only then will their intentions crawl back into a mole hole.
A rat hole.
A director who doesn't come up to the builder's heels makes a four-hour film about him.
Yesterday in Venice, Alex Gibney's nearly four-hour documentary "Musk" had its world premiere. It is a classic case of someone who has spent a career telling other people's stories taking on a man who actually builds those stories with rockets, cars, satellites, and infrastructure, not slides.
Alex Gibney is an acclaimed documentarian. An Oscar for Taxi to the Dark Side, Emmys for Going Clear on Scientology, high-profile films on Enron, Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. His specialty is exposing corporations, cults, and frauds. He does it skillfully and with a thesis. The problem starts when he applies the same method to someone who is not selling an illusion, but hardware that either flies or blows up in front of the entire world.
Gibney's fuel is controversy. Elon's fuel is the pursuit of truth hard, engineering truth, the kind that either works on the test stand or it doesn't. It would have been enough to make a film based on facts. Instead we got another rut that fits the slogans of provocation: megalomaniac, confidence man, threat to democracy, an AI avatar reciting old quotes, ex-wives, his father, a former partner. Musk said in 2023 it would be a hit piece. After the premiere, a large share of reviewers effectively agreed with him.
I don't know about you, but four hours of falsified formulas would bore me. Instead I watch how much Elon has already done. His energy is extraordinary. Tesla changed the car industry. SpaceX brings rockets back. Starlink works. Starship stands on the pad and prepares for the next flight. This is not a PowerPoint. It is steel, fuel, engines, and people who cannot hide failure in the edit suite.
A weak documentary like this is a crumb on the shoulder of his jacket. Now it depends on us when and how quickly that blown-off crumb a utopian attention vampire is simply starved of attention. You could list the names of people who tried to take Elon's energy. Energy is the most precious thing we have. Anyone who steals it with slogans, gossip, and a four-hour indictment that excludes the main subject is sowing under his own feet.
Gibney: you reap what you sow. If you have a shred of shame, look at the list of Elon's accomplishments. Look at what kind of person he is for the world and what he does around himself so that things get better cars that drive, internet from orbit, rockets that return, attempts at a brain-computer interface, AI that is supposed to be more than another chatbot. You can dislike his tweets, his political alliances. You cannot honestly erase the scale of what was physically built.
A good documentarian should stand, at least for a moment, in the shoes of the person he is portraying. Gibney did not just fail to do that. He took a measure cut for Enron and Holmes and held it up to a man who lands rockets. He left Elon's shoes in the edit suite. Elon walked on barefoot and kept building.
One man tells stories about the world from an editing chair. The other moves that world. A four-hour film will not change that. At most it will confirm what people who already disliked Musk already believed. Everyone else can blow the crumb off the jacket and keep going.
History does not judge a man by the length of a film. It judges him by what is still in the air when the camera has stopped running.
Controversy feeds on attention. Building feeds on repetition. One vanishes when you look away. The other keeps flying.
You can cut a man together in four hours. You cannot cut a landing together.
A documentary can be switched off. The work cannot.
