2007A 36-year-old Elon Musk sits down for a quiet PBS interview and says, almost casually:
“The most important thing we can do for the future of consciousness is to become a multi-planetary species… Everything else pales in comparison.”
He then predicts, with zero hype:
•Fully reusable rockets that land like airplanes
•Electric cars that outperform gasoline in every way and go mass-market
•Solar + batteries becoming the cheapest energy on Earth
•Humans on Mars and a self-sustaining city there
Jeff Bezos was already the richest man on Earth in 2007. He started Blue Origin in 2000 with the exact same “multi-planetary” dream.
18+ years later:
Blue Origin has flown exactly zero orbital missions. New Glenn still hasn’t launched. No reusable booster has ever landed. No Mars plan with dates.
Elon?
•Falcon 9 boosters have landed 400+ times
•Starship (bigger than anything ever built) is flying
•Tesla sells 2 million cars a year and is worth more than the rest of the car industry combined
•Solar + batteries are now the cheapest electricity source in history
•First uncrewed Starships to Mars: 2026–2028. Crewed: late 2020s/early 2030s — exactly the timeline he gave in 2007
The vision never wavered. Not once.
The enthusiasm is the same calm, burning conviction you hear in that 2007 clip today.
The determination? He went personally bankrupt in 2008 keeping SpaceX and Tesla alive with his last dollars.
Almost 20 years later, every single “crazy” prediction from that interview is either already reality or on schedule.
This is what relentless execution looks like.
Watch the 2007 interview (25 minutes that aged like fine wine):
He didn’t just dream about the future.
He scheduled it. And showed up.
Moments ago: @FLOTUS shared her heart with everyone grieving after the Texas flood disaster saying...
"My deepest sympathy to all of the parents who lost beautiful, young souls. Deepest sympathy from all of us to the community—to everyone who lost a loved one—we are grieving with you. Our Nation is grieving with you.”
“We just met with the wonderful families. We prayed with them. We hugged. We held hands. They shared their stories, and I met beautiful young ladies who gave me this special bracelet from the camp in honor of all the little girls who lost their lives. We are here to honor them and also to give support and help. I will be back—I promised them. I pray for them and am giving them my strength and love.”
We ended Iran’s nuclear ambitions with zero casualties and they begged for peace after 12 days of “war” instead of starting World War III. Trump made the right call. Again.
.@POTUS: "Far too many American presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it's our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use US policy to dispense justice for their sins ... It is God's job to sit in judgment — my job to defend America and to promote the fundamental interests of stability, prosperity, and peace."
Game Week! Let’s do this TOGETHER Nittany Nation. We need EVERYONE - students, faculty, lettermen, alumni, & fans worldwide - locked in on being 1-0 against Maryland Saturday! #WeAre
President Trump expertly TROLLS Democrats after getting picked up by a Garbage Truck in Green Bay:
"How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden."
DJT is a national treasure. 😂😂
