Elon Musk: We want 𝕏 to reflect a wide range of opinions.
“It is important to have a global free speech platform where people from a wide range of opinions can voice their views. And in some cases, there were advertisers who were insisting on censorship.
And at the end of the day, if we have to make a choice between censorship and money, censorship and money or free speech and losing money, we're going to pick the second, we're going to support free speech rather than agree to be censored for money, which is, I think, right moral decision.”

Elon Musk: If we don't become multiplanetary, all life will eventually die.
“If you think really long-term, then you realize that eventually there will be some natural disaster – even if it is not made by humans – that destroys all life on Earth.
Eventually, the Sun will expand and evaporate the oceans, and we'll be like Venus, so hot that no life can really exist. Maybe some chemotrophic bacteria, but eventually even they will die.
So, the only way to prolong life as we know it is for us to become multiplanetary and ultimately multistellar.
And if we do not do that, all life on Earth will die.
So, those who care about life on Earth should really care a lot about life becoming multiplanetary and ultimately multistellar.”

“SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company are philanthropy.
If you care about the reality of goodness instead of the perception of it, philanthropy is extremely difficult.”
- Elon Musk
“History is going to bifurcate along two directions:
One path is we stay on Earth forever and then there will be some eventual extinction event. [...]
The alternative is to become a space-faring civilization and a multiplanet species – which I hope you would agree that is the right way to go.”
– Elon Musk, 2016
Elon Musk: If you want to know where the woke philosophy leads, just walk around the streets of San Francisco, but be careful to not get killed by a violent drug zombie.
“Other companies attempt to essentially program their AI with a dystopian San Francisco-Berkeley philosophy.
And if you want to know where that philosophy leads, just walk around the streets of San Francisco, but be careful, do not get killed by a violent drug zombie, because they're all over downtown SF. It's insane.
So you can see where that philosophy leads. And unfortunately, I think a lot of the AIs are being programmed, at least implicitly, with that misanthropic dystopian philosophy.”

Elon Musk: In order to make a technology that works, you have to be extremely truth-seeking.
“You'll test your technology against reality, and if you make an error in your rocket design, the rocket will blow up or the car won't work.”
Dwarkesh Patel: “But there were a lot of communist Soviet physicists or scientists who discovered new physics. There are German Nazi physicists who discovered new science. Being really truth-seeking doesn't seem like a universally alignment-inducing behavior.”
Elon: “Well, I think actually most physicists, even in the Soviet Union or in Germany, had to be very truth-seeking in order to make those things work. If you're stuck in some system, it doesn't mean you believe in that system. Von Braun, who is one of the greatest rocket engineers ever, was put on death row in Nazi Germany for saying that he didn't want to make weapons; he only wanted to go to the moon. He got pulled off death row at the last minute when they said, Hey, you're about to execute your best rocket engineer.
If you're stuck in some system that you can't escape, then you'll do physics within that system.”

Elon Musk on being useful:
“I just think that a usefulness optimization is really a good thing.
If you've done something that's useful to your fellow human beings, you've done a really good thing.
People should feel proud of doing that.
It doesn't always have to be something that's going to change the world.”
