I don't want to go to Massachusetts. Im only going to Massachusetts for work ๐. They offer to pay for my hotel and pay me handsomely. A offer I couldn't refuse. But I'm definitely moving back to Texas.

Elon says ordinary people can choose to be extraordinary.
He delivers the line with quiet certainty, like it is something he has tested rather than a motivational slogan.
The weight sits in the word โchoose.โ He is not talking about talent or luck. He is talking about decision and effort. That framing removes the usual excuses and puts the responsibility back on the person listening.
Most people soften this kind of message so it feels safer. He keeps it hard and clear.
Want to know the ugly unfair truth about why some guys get rich and others do not?
It's not hard work.
Here it is: Almost every 8-9 figure guy I know at SOME point had a gun to their head where they HAD to be successful.
When I got out of the military, I had $6k and no education.
In short I HAD to make something work.
It wasn't passion that made me work 12-14 hour days to learn how to build an online business.
It wasn't confidence either. I considered myself an idiot. It was fear.
I had about $500 left when I finally started making money.
This fear was the greatest gift God ever gave me. During this time I witnessed that I "could" do it.
THIS is what gave me the confidence to keep going and build what later turned into a sizable net worth.
Most people never get this. They have the option to stay comfortable, they never have to fight, thus they never learn to fight.
Getting comfortable is what also kills most guys ONCE they make it.
If you are waking up and going to bed in fear, say a little prayer.
Pain, fear, anger. They are the most unfair advantage a guy can have. Most are never lucky enough to truly get in bad enough straits that they HAVE to make something happen.
If you do, don't pout. Embrace the dark side, you will come out made of steel and red lightsabers.
Elon Musk reveals why all life on Earth ending is a certainty
Elon: "If we do not become multi-planetary and ultimately go beyond our solar system, annihilation of all life on Earth is a certainty. A certainty."
Start with how briefly we've been here at all.
Elon: "Earth is about four and a half billion years old. Civilization as measured from the first writing is only about 5,000 years old."
"That's one millionth of Earth's existence. Civilization has been around, it's really a flash in the pan so far."
And the clock is not metaphorical.
Elon: "The sun is expanding slowly, but it will heat the Earth up at some point in the future, boil the oceans, and Earth will become like Venus, where life as we know it is impossible."
Then the number that makes it feel close.
Elon: "It could be as little as, on the galactic timescale, half a billion years. It's a long time by human standards, but that's only 10% longer than Earth has been around at all. So if life had taken 10% longer to evolve on Earth, it wouldn't exist at all."
He thinks that's what the silence out there means.
Elon: "There are these great filters, which civilizations don't pass through. And one of those great filters is, do you become a multi-planetary civilization or not?"
"If you don't, it's simply a matter of time before something happens on your planet, either natural or manmade, that causes us to die out. Like the dinosaurs. Where are they now? They didn't have spaceships."
