Elon Reeve Musk, often affectionately referred to as Elongated Musk, is a visionary entrepreneur who continues to redefine the future of humanity with his innovative companies. Musk’s journey from co-founding PayPal to becoming the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has inspired millions. Whether it's Tesla's groundbreaking electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and the highly anticipated Cybertruck, or his leadership at SpaceX with revolutionary missions aimed at colonizing Mars, Musk is pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Tesla, under Musk’s leadership, has skyrocketed both in innovation and stock performance. With TSLA stock frequently at the center of investor attention on NASDAQ, the Tesla stock price and the price of Tesla shares have made headlines, capturing the world's fascination. From Tesla Motors’ stock price to the Tesla company’s share value, his work has driven the company's presence to new heights. Tesla's lineup, including the Tesla Model Y, Cybertruck, and others, showcases Musk’s dedication to creating sustainable transportation solutions for a better future.

Meanwhile, SpaceX has revolutionized space exploration with reusable rockets, satellite deployments, and projects like Starlink, which aims to provide global internet coverage. Musk's ambition to send humanity to Mars is no longer a distant dream but a goal in progress. His title as CEO of SpaceX highlights his unwavering commitment to pushing the envelope, taking us closer to becoming a multiplanetary species.

00:00Wow, this is amazingly great energy. Thank you for coming.
00:09So I'm holding my phone since we're doing sort of a live spaces as well as a video cast, so I'm holding my phone for that reason.
00:21If you see me, you're probably wondering why he's holding his phone.
00:23This is, we're doing a live X spaces at the same time as a video stream, so I'll be able to take some questions from,
00:31as many questions as possible from the audience and as well from people online.
00:35But as you can see, I'm obviously here in person. This is me, not a clone of me.
00:47And the reason I'm here in person is because Pennsylvania is so important to the future of the world.
01:00You know, you show what matters by your actions, not your words, and my actions are I'm here, I'm in Pennsylvania,
01:12and I'm here for a very important reason, which, yeah.
01:16I can't emphasize enough that Pennsylvania is, I think, the linchpin in this election,
01:25and this election, I think, is going to decide the fate of America, along with the fate of America, the fate of Western civilization.
01:35And I think the things we all want are simple, sensible, I mean, common sense things.
01:51We obviously want secure borders, we want safe cities, sensible spending, so that we don't have crazy inflation.
02:02We want freedom of speech, we want the Constitution to be upheld.
02:07And, you know what, I'm being told at times that these are like right-wing values.
02:14I'm like, are you insane?
02:17This is literally the fundamental values that made America what it is today.
02:29And anyone who's against those things is fundamentally anti-American.
02:32And to hell with them.
02:35Yeah.
02:45I see I'm getting a lot of agreement from everyone in this room.
02:49Yeah.
02:53And, you know, so I actually lived in Pennsylvania for three years, by the way.
02:59I'm no stranger to the state.
03:00I lived in this city for three years.
03:02I went to school here.
03:03So, you know, I know the state.
03:06I'm not some, you know, just-arrived situation, you know.
03:10I've been here, spent three years of my life here.
03:12So it's a great state.
03:15Love it, you know.
03:16And, yeah.
03:19Yeah.
03:21It was awesome.
03:22But, you know, the thing is, like, I was talking to friends of mine who, like, when I went to Penn, it was very dangerous at the time.
03:30But everyone thought it would get better over, you know, it would get better as the years went on.
03:35You know, one of the issues was, like, students would get killed from time to time.
03:40And that was pretty bad, obviously.
03:42And I was talking to someone who recently graduated from Penn, and they said, actually, it's worse.
03:48And I'm like, it's worse?
03:50What the hell is going on?
03:52You know.
03:54It's like, yeah.
03:57Well, yeah.
03:58I mean, the reality is that if someone is a violent criminal, you know, where they either are unable to control their violence or they like it, if you do not incarcerate them, they will hurt people.
04:11That's what it comes down to.
04:14So.
04:20So if you don't put hardened criminals in jail, they will kill people.
04:25That's what it comes down to.
04:27And that's, unfortunately, the situation we have here is that the Democratic Party will not put hardened criminals in prison.
04:36And so they roam free, and they prey upon you, and your kids, and your family, and your friends.
04:43This is insane.
04:45How can we be, you know, the most powerful country in the world, and it's not safe to walk around our cities?
04:54What the hell is going on?
04:56George Soros!
04:57Yeah.
05:01I mean, Soros, honestly, misanthropic.
05:04You know, he's someone who has, you know, sort of claims to be doing good, but actually he is not.
05:12You know, he is tearing down the fabric of society.
05:16So, terrible.
05:18Yeah.
05:20So, but I think it's just unbelievable that we, like, you should be able to feel safe walking around American cities.
05:30And it's not just, you know, Philadelphia has a challenge.
05:33New York has a challenge.
05:35Every major city in the U.S.
05:37Like, you know, my mom lives in New York, for example.
05:40Three of her friends have been assaulted on the street this year.
05:44You know, it's like, and it's getting worse.
05:47And now, when she takes her dog for a walk, she has to stay, you know, inside of the building so that she can call for help if need be.
05:56This is not the future we want.
05:59And if we get four more years of this, I mean, we're going to be fully Mad Max, you know.
06:05It's like, well, it's nice to watch a Mad Max movie, but we don't want to be in the Mad Max movie.
06:12Okay?
06:26So, yeah.
06:27You know, and then the whole border thing is just insane.
06:31You know, I always want to try to figure out, what is the truth of the matter?
06:36What's really going on?
06:37So, on the border situation, it's like, is it real or is it not real?
06:42So I went there in person, and I just literally live streamed what I saw.
06:45And, you know, our border looks like World War Z.
06:48Okay?
06:49It's like zombie apocalypse.
06:51You know, it's insane.
06:53So, this is, if you don't have a border, you don't have a country.
06:58Yeah.
06:59I mean, we're just saying, like, you know, we have to have real borders.
07:04And, if you don't have real borders, you don't have a real country.
07:09And, obviously, as someone who's an immigrant, I'm pro-immigrant.
07:12I just want to make sure that people who come here are going to be assets to society.
07:15And that they're going to raise our standard of living.
07:19You know?
07:28You know, I think it's like, I think the sort of sports team analogy is a good one.
07:33So, like, let's say you're a pro-sports team.
07:35You want to win the championship.
07:37Then, well, you want aces on your team, obviously, because they help the whole team win.
07:41You know?
07:42So the same is true for immigration.
07:44You know, if we have this sort of equivalent of, like, Kobe Bryant or Steph Curry or LeBron or something like that.
07:50They want to join the team.
07:51Like, absolutely, of course.
07:53Do you like winning?
07:55Yeah, okay.
07:57But, if they can't play basketball, they shouldn't be joining.
08:00So, that's real important.
08:06And, yeah.
08:08And then, something that doesn't get a lot of attention is the fact that the federal government is spending America into bankruptcy.
08:14You know, which is crazy.
08:17It's sort of, and that's really what leads to inflation, is that when the government spends more than it brings in, that's what causes inflation.
08:25Yeah, so it's just a pernicious tax.
08:29So, there has to be much, we have to radically reduce the amount of government spending so that we don't rack up a debt that is impossible to repay and drive the country to bankruptcy.
08:53I mean, just basic stuff, really.
08:56These shouldn't be controversial topics.
08:58Stuff like normal.
09:00Common sense, exactly.
09:04And, you know, you're seeing all these attacks on freedom of speech, and they're, like, attacking me for freedom of speech.
09:10It's like, yo, that's the First Amendment.
09:12Like, literally the first one.
09:14You know?
09:16Tells me it's a high priority.
09:19And the reason they have the First Amendment is because, you know, the countries people came from, if you spoke your mind, you'd be imprisoned or killed.
09:25That's why you have it.
09:27That's really important.
09:29And then the right to bear arms is also really important.
09:31That's there to protect, you know.
09:41I mean, the Second Amendment is there to protect the First Amendment.
09:49As soon as the government can disarm the people, they can do anything they want.
09:55And we've seen this in one country after another.
09:58They take the guns away from the people, then they do fake elections, and then the people try to protest, and then you just get shot.
10:06That's what happened in Venezuela recently.
10:09They had a fake election.
10:11Maduro lost.
10:13Like, massively lost.
10:15Like, you know, 70% loss.
10:17And he's like, oh, no, I won.
10:19And everyone's like, oh, you didn't win.
10:23There were big protests in the street.
10:25But the thing is that Chavez, when he came into power, took away everyone's guns.
10:29So now you're facing, you know, soldiers with assault rifles, where you're going to throw some sticks at them or something?
10:35Use finger guns?
10:37It doesn't work.
10:39So Maduro, even though he lost the election, is still in power.
10:43And that's the kind of risk that we face.
10:46So, we've got to do everything possible to protect the Constitution.
10:51And I think this is, yeah.
11:05So, you know, for all those reasons, that's why, you know, after thinking about it hard, it was very clear to me that Donald Trump has to win this election.
11:15He really does.
11:31And so, I think the most important thing that you can do, and what I'm asking everyone to do,
11:37is make sure that you're registered to vote, and then vote early.
11:43And then talk to your friends and family and everyone you know to make sure that they're registered to vote, because Monday is the deadline for voting registration.
11:52And honestly, if there's ever a time to be a pest with your friends and family, this is the time.
11:58You know, just, yeah.
12:00This is the time.
12:02This is the time.
12:07Everyone you know, everyone you meet, everyone you run into, register them to vote, and then get them to vote immediately.
12:15And we only have until Monday night to register to vote, so the next basically three days are essential.
12:25And I think we see this election decided in Pennsylvania by, it could be 10,000 votes, it could be 1,000 votes, it could be 10 votes.
12:33It could be some very tiny number.
12:35So every incremental person is a huge difference.
12:38So, you know, I haven't been politically active before.
12:44I'm politically active now because I think the future of America and the future of civilization is at stake.
12:54So, yeah, please go all out registering people.
13:07We have three days.
13:09Let's go.
13:11Anything you can possibly do.
13:13So with that, I'm happy to answer questions or take comments from the audience.
13:18Yeah.
13:34We'll do one question per person, okay?
13:36Yeah, I have the mic.
13:39Okay.
13:41Where's the mic?
13:43All right.
13:45Here.
13:47Elon, first of all, welcome to Ridley Township.
13:55Delaware County, and welcome to Ridley School District and our beautiful high school.
14:02Because you made this your first stop, we'd love to make you an honorary Ridley Raider.
14:10I'd like to give you this shirt, football jersey.
14:12Sports is big in Ridley, big in Delaware County.
14:15This is must.
14:17Sixty-seven counties in Pennsylvania.
14:19We've got to turn every one of them red.
14:21Great.
14:25Sounds good.
14:29Thank you very much.
14:38First question is, what can all of us here, everybody in this auditorium, everybody watching the live stream,
14:45what can we do now to make sure we get Donald Trump across the finish line in Pennsylvania and everywhere else in this country?
14:54Yeah, it's fundamentally for the next three days, just everyone needs to focus on registering friends, family, acquaintances, everyone you know.
15:02Because if you're not registered by Monday, that's why I'm being sort of repetitive about this and really emphasizing this,
15:08anyone not registered by Monday evening, or if they're registered incorrectly, their vote won't count.
15:14They won't be able to vote.
15:17So, we have three days.
15:19It's all about registration, registration, registration, registration, every single day.
15:25And like I said, this election could be decided by a handful of people.
15:29It could just be that a little bit of extra effort on voter registration decides the entire future of civilization.
15:36So that's why I'm saying, man, if there's ever a weekend to spend going hog-wild on registration, this is it.
15:42Yeah.
15:45Hi, Elon.
15:49Thank you so much for being here.
15:51It means so much, and I think it's really in line with your character as I've come to know you from listening to you speak in interviews.
15:59In addition to voting for Donald Trump, what can the average citizen do to help train AI to be truth-seeking?
16:10Well, I think definitely publicly pushing to ensure that AI is truth-seeking and is not sort of politically correct,
16:21which means factually incorrect, that's a big deal.
16:27Like just speak out on social media and certainly complain loudly when other companies attempt to essentially program their AI with a dystopian San Francisco Berkeley philosophy.
16:45And if you want to know where that philosophy leads, just walk around the streets of San Francisco.
16:50But be careful, because do not get killed by a violent drug zombie, because they're all over this downtown SF.
16:58It's insane.
17:00So you can see where does that philosophy lead, and unfortunately I think a lot of the AI is often programmed, at least implicitly, with that misanthropic dystopian philosophy.
17:13Yeah.
17:16Hi, Ilan. Right here. On your right.
17:21Sorry, with the lights in my eyes and stuff, it's hard to see.
17:24Hi, my name is Jasmine. I'm originally from Malaysia and I've been here 20 years.
17:31I came here legally. I see a lot of immigration and a lot of immigrants who came here legally.
17:41They all support Trump and they want a strong economy, they want family values and all that.
17:49Oh, by the way, I came here because my daughter goes to school here.
17:53She told me to come over.
17:55I used to be really, really active in promoting Trump campaign four years ago, and I got burned out and I'm so frustrated.
18:06And it's all because of the cheating.
18:09So what are we going to do with that?
18:12Well, there is, I think, some amount of cheating that takes place.
18:18It's hard because when you have mail-in ballots and no sort of proof of citizenship, it becomes almost impossible to prove cheating is the issue.
18:31So a lot of people on the Dem side will say, there's no cheating, there's no cheating.
18:34And I'm like, you've made it impossible to actually prove that there's cheating.
18:39But statistically, there are some very strange things that happen that are statistically incredibly unlikely.
18:48So there's always this question of, say, the Dominion voting machines.
18:54It is weird that the, you know, I think they're used in Philadelphia and in Maricopa County, but not in a lot of other places.
19:03Doesn't that seem like a heck of a coincidence?
19:06So I think there's, you know, we should, in my view, we should only do paper ballots hand-counted.
19:18That's it.
19:21I mean, I'm a technologist.
19:28I know a lot about computers.
19:30And I'm like, the last thing I would do is trust a computer program.
19:33Because it's just too easy to hack.
19:36It's too easy to add just one line.
19:38And it's really difficult to hack paper ballots.
19:42So, you know, it's in-person voting with ID.
19:49Which, by the way, every country has.
19:52I mean, almost every country that has democratic elections requires in-person voting with voter ID.
20:00It's super weird to not have that.
20:03I think that's the only way to effectively address fraud.
20:09You know, given that we are where we are today, I think we just need a very big margin of victory.
20:17You know, there's, yeah.
20:20If the margin of victory is big enough, then, you know, as they say, it's got to beat the cheat.
20:27Yeah.
20:29So that's it.
20:35Elon, first off, you're my hero, and I love your sneakers.
20:41So if you do choose to be the head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
20:47Yeah, it does.
20:49Yep.
20:53What do you think about we stop giving money to other countries, such as Israel, Ukraine,
20:59and we stop funding forever wars that most likely are going to the deep state anyway?
21:05Yeah.
21:06Well, I think in general, the amount of waste that happens with the federal government is really staggering.
21:13It's a staggering amount of waste of taxpayer money.
21:16And if we're, you know, for any given expenditure, we have to say, well, what does this do for the citizens of America?
21:22Like, how is this good for the people of America?
21:25It's their money.
21:27Like, for some weird reason, a lot of people in the sort of state or whatever, the politicians,
21:35they seem to forget that the money being spent is your money.
21:39And if it's not being spent in a way that is beneficial to the American people, it's a misuse of the funds.
21:46So, yeah.
21:53There's a lot of money that's being spent where sort of illegals are getting more benefits than citizens.
21:58Like, what the heck is that?
22:00That doesn't make any sense.
22:02Yeah.
22:03Hi, Elon.
22:04So, as we bring government spending and look inward to our country, I am a government employee.
22:08I care about innovation and efficiency.
22:10With your vision for a department of government efficiency, you know, what can we do?
22:14How can we support you?
22:15And also, how can we spotlight the needs of people in North Carolina?
22:19The body count is abnormally underreported.
22:21You know, what can we do to press on that and to support people within our country?
22:25Sure.
22:26Well, I do think that, you know, government efficiency is not something about reducing the size of government,
22:32but making sure that there are incentives for excellent work.
22:36You know, so if somebody's, you know, whatever you incent will happen.
22:39So, if you have incentives for excellent work, and by the same token, if someone's not doing excellent work,
22:45they're exited, just like normal.
22:47It's really what happens in a properly functioning company is that you reward, or think of a sports team.
22:53The players that are doing well, they get rewarded, and the players that are not doing well, they exit the team.
22:58And that should just be how it works.
23:00And I think that will have a profound effect on the effectiveness of government.
23:05So, whatever you incent will happen.
23:07So, if the incentives are aligned with, you know, with saving people in North Carolina, then that's what will happen.
23:16But if, you know, if you have a sort of a failed response to the disasters, to the hurricane disasters, and no one even gets fired,
23:26well, okay, what do you expect?
23:28No one's going to take action.
23:30You know, if there's a track record of failure, you have to exit the people who failed.
23:37Otherwise, people will look around and say, well, I guess I don't need to do anything because, you know,
23:43nothing bad happens to you even if you do a terrible job and people die, which is insane.
23:48So...
23:50Hi, Elon.
23:53Hi, Elon.
23:56Can you tell us about your trip to Israel?
23:59Yeah.
24:01I mean, it was a very moving trip.
24:03So, you know, there's...
24:07Yeah, it was a very moving trip.
24:10Definitely one of the toughest regions to, you know, like how do you, what set of actions result in the greater good in Israel?
24:24I mean, obviously, you cannot have people who, you know, if they want to slaughter everyone in Israel, you've got to stop that.
24:33There's no, you know, there's no way.
24:36Yeah.
24:39Those people either need to be killed or incarcerated or they will simply try to kill more Israelis.
24:47This is what it amounts to, obviously.
24:49And they want to kill Americans, too, by the way.
24:51Generally, Israel is referred to as the little Satan and we are the big Satan.
24:56That's what the Ayatollah calls us.
24:59So, you know, so I think, you know, I think a lot of what's happening there is people are being taught to hate, you know, in Gaza from when they're children.
25:14They're taught to hate.
25:15And that's really the thing that needs to stop for there to be, you know, long-term peace, hopefully, is that you just cannot have the kids be taught to hate from the moment they can talk.
25:30That's fundamental.
25:32So, yeah.
25:34So, you know, so I think there's kind of a three-step process there, which is, as you mentioned, one has to do the difficult thing, which is to…
25:52Eliminate Hamas.
25:53Yes, eliminate Hamas, exactly.
25:56And then, so, and then the, you know, I think also going forward, anyone who's teaching hatred in Gaza or elsewhere, you know, they need to stop doing that.
26:10That can't be acceptable.
26:12And we have to stop, yeah, kids being taught to hate America in America.
26:19So…
26:28And then the third thing that's also very important is that there has to be economic prosperity in Gaza.
26:35So this is very difficult.
26:37It's like how do you sort of, you know, after terrible things have been done, you then have to sort of, you know, you have to bring prosperity to Gaza.
26:49And that's the thing that will ensure, provided kids are not taught to hate and there's long-term prosperity, I think there will be peace in Gaza.
26:57And we see an example of that after World War II, where with Germany and Japan, you know, they were defeated, they obviously did terrible things, but changed the education system.
27:10And unlike World War I, we helped rebuild Japan and Germany, the Marshall Plan.
27:17Instead of exacting vengeance, America insisted we're going to help rebuild Germany, we're going to help rebuild Japan, and now they're our allies.
27:27And there's been no war ever since.
27:41And I want to say congratulations on the successful re-docking of your rocket.
27:56And I'm going to go…
27:57Yeah, I mean, honestly, it was a great week.
28:01You know, we had the Tesla sort of cool autonomous car and robot stuff, which I think is going to be really, really great.
28:12You know, I think, you know, who wouldn't want their own personal C-3PO R2-D2?
28:17It'd be awesome, you know?
28:20So I think that we're going to build some awesome, like, helpful robots and autonomous cars.
28:26And then, I mean, this is a good day.
28:30Faye is smiling upon us here.
28:36You know, we caught the rocket, which is just totally nuts, you know?
28:43You see that rocket booster?
28:46It's the largest, heaviest flying object ever made, and it just got caught by Mechazilla arms.
28:53You know, kind of like a karate kid, but bigger.
28:57Catch on the fly with the chopsticks, you know?
29:00So my question is, do you think there is a shadow government behind the Biden-Harris administration?
29:08I mean, well, let me put it this way.
29:11It's not Biden.
29:14We know that for a fact.
29:15Okay.
29:17The dude's, like, barely got two functional neurons, so, you know, it's like—
29:23and he just seems to be at the beach a lot, and he's obviously not in charge.
29:30So, I mean, when the polls started going low on Biden, he, you know, he was saying,
29:37oh, he's staying in the race, he's staying in the race, but then I guess the real power is that
29:40B told him he's not, you know?
29:43So who is it that's behind him?
29:46We know Obama, okay, but Obama—
29:52I mean, I'm just as curious as you are.
29:56You know, it is—as far as I can determine, there isn't any one sort of puppet master.
30:03It's more like there's a thousand or, I don't know, a lot.
30:08But, I mean, I'd like to talk to them to understand more about,
30:12listen, what are your goals, puppet masters?
30:16I'm just curious.
30:20I mean, maybe.
30:21I agree with some of them.
30:22It's possible.
30:23But it's just obvious that Biden's not in charge.
30:26It's obvious that Kamala's not in charge.
30:28I mean, Kamala's—they just replaced the Biden puppet with the Kamala puppet, very obviously.
30:34And so you can tell, like, if the teleprompter stops working, then the puppet breaks.
30:39And it's like, whoop!
30:42The puppet just starts looping, because the teleprompter broke.
30:46But I don't have a teleprompter.
30:48I just talk like a normal human.
30:52So, I mean, yeah, I think it's not—from what I can tell, it's not one puppet master, it's many.
30:57But, you know, it's interesting to see the crossover between the Epstein client list and Kamala's puppet masters.
31:09I bet there's a lot of names that appear on both lists.
31:15Oh, sorry.
31:16Yeah, did he, too.
31:19Did he, did it.
31:22Elon, my name is Gregory Stenstrom.
31:25I'm from here, Delaware County.
31:28There's a few people who know me.
31:31In my hands, you asked earlier if you'd like to go to a hand count.
31:35We have three federal suits right now.
31:38One, because we know for a fact, and we have proof, that the election code and the machines in Dominion and Hardin-Pacific are fraudulent here, right here in Delaware County.
31:49The Secretary of State for the elections, Jonathan Marks, admitted this in court last week.
31:56Wow, he did?
31:57In court, on a transcript.
31:59I didn't read about that.
32:00Well, of course you didn't.
32:01For some reason, the legacy media forgot to report about that one.
32:05How many people here know me?
32:08Quite a few.
32:09I mean, I usually keep up with these things, and I did not know that.
32:12Well, we're also co-defendants, Leah Hoopes and myself, also from Delaware County, we're co-defendants with President Trump and Rudy Giuliani in a defamation suit, where we proved over 952 days that there was massive election fraud in 2020.
32:26We proved that in court.
32:28It's a matter of public record.
32:30We also have the proof that the election machines that are currently being used are fraudulent.
32:34We have videos right now that I can show you of ballot boxes being stuffed here in Delaware County, Montgomery County, Chester County, and across the state.
32:44We have that video.
32:46We have submitted this to the federal courts in three federal cases.
32:49We have a SCOTUS case right here, and the SCOTUS case is just simple.
32:55It asks the DOJ to rescind their policy not to investigate election fraud.
33:00Which seems crazy.
33:01We are being blocked.
33:03Blocked, blocked.
33:04Yeah, this DOJ is doing a great—take the J out of the name, you know.
33:10What do you mean, thing?
33:11Department of Injustice.
33:12What I'd like you to do, Elon, is I don't want to take too much time, and I know this is kind of a shock, but we have a book here, the Parallel Election.
33:18I have the Supreme Court case, and I have the federal suits here.
33:24We've called your people, we've called the people who are supposed to be helping.
33:28We have hundreds of people right now ready.
33:31Yeah.
33:32They're out taking videos, they're training poll workers, and we are not getting support from many of the people in the first front rows here.
33:39And their pictures, if you want to know who they are, are in this book.
33:44What I recommend is to post content on the X platform, and then people can argue and say it's right or wrong,
34:01but if you have videos or evidence, then post them publicly on social media, and then people can judge for themselves, exactly.
34:13Okay, great. Excellent. Thank you.
34:16Anyway, let's not get contentious. I think teamwork makes the dream work here.
34:31And whatever the situation, I don't want to dissuade anyone from voting. It's very important to vote.
34:39So any actions with respect to voting machines and whatnot, we simply want to put them under intense scrutiny.
34:46But nonetheless, everyone needs to vote, and like I said, if you leave here with one thing, the goal is to register as many people as possible to vote.
34:56That is the goal, and we only have until Monday night. That is the goal. One mission. Bam.
35:02Can I go?
35:05Hi, Elan, thank you for being here.
35:08First, I want to thank you, as somebody with a spinal cord injury, for being innovative, because not many people are.
35:15I won't take up the time, but 18,000 people a year are injured, so thank you.
35:23Absolutely. I'm hopeful that Neuralink can do a lot, actually.
35:27Initially providing the ability for anyone who's lost the brain-body connection to be able to interface with their phone and computer faster than a human with working hands, which is, I think, really cool.
35:38But down the road, I think it will be possible to restore whole-body functionality.
35:46If you have a Neuralink in the motor cortex that then shunts past where the neurons are damaged in the spine, I'm confident that long-term you can actually restore people's ability to walk and use their hands.
36:05I appreciate it. I would love to work with you on getting support around here.
36:12To be fair, the FDA has been, within the context of their current rules, has been actually quite supportive.
36:21They've given us Express Lane, because they've seen the quality of the work and the sophistication of the technology.
36:28They have given us fast-track approval, but still our progress is limited by regulatory issues.
36:36That's the same thing that's happening with SpaceX.
36:39SpaceX can build a giant rocket faster than the license can be processed by the government, which is insane.
36:46I should mention one of the most fundamental things about me supporting, and maybe the biggest showstopper of all for me, in terms of why I feel Donald Trump must win, is that we have to have sensible regulations.
37:06Last time I checked, we have 428 agencies.
37:13There's more than an agency a year has been created since America was a country.
37:20We've got almost twice as many agencies as years that America has been a country.
37:26Which means an agency has been created, there's sometimes two new agencies per year created, which is just madness.
37:34So, America is being smothered by over-regulation.
37:38I call it slow strangulation by over-regulation.
37:43I would like to ask about natural gas and lithium, that's kind of it.
37:47Pennsylvania is rich of natural resources and fracking gas and lithium, which could benefit not only our state, but our entire country.
37:57However, many residents, and I have to be honest, along 350 miles of Pennsylvania, had real challenges like eminent domain and the destruction of water sources, such as what happened with the Mariners Pipeline.
38:11How can we ensure that while utilizing these resources, we work closely with local governments and residents without the federal government overreaching and forcing land from homeowners?
38:21Effective communication with citizens and their involvement in these decisions is crucial.
38:26What role do you see for technology or private industry in making sure that this process is transparent and fair?
38:32Because believe you me, lots of people were forced with eminent domain and aquifers poisoned all across Pennsylvania, including our veterans.
38:41And this has been a real problem since 2016.
38:44So we want to support our workers and use our gas, but we need to be careful of what we're taking from people who've lived here, families for centuries.
38:54Certainly. I believe in sensible regulation.
38:57But what I see happening is that there's a mountain of rules that actually don't benefit people, and then there's missing rules that do benefit people.
39:09So it's this bizarre Kafkaesque nightmare of regulations where ultimately the good of the people is not served.
39:16And we get regulatory delays for things that are fake.
39:22Meanwhile, bad things are allowed to happen simply because someone filled out the paperwork and gamed the system.
39:29So that's what I mean.
39:31When I say the Department of Government Efficiency, I mean addressing any issue which is not in the interest of the people.
39:41And we do need to, at times, fight against what large corporations are pushing for, because some of them are very short term, and some large corporations do bad things.
39:54Corporations are like people. Some corporations are good, some are meddling, and sometimes some corporations are bad.
40:05And it's just like people, is the way to think of corporations.
40:09So we've got to stop the corporations that want to do bad things, make sure they're doing things that are in the interest of the people.
40:15And then corporations that want to do good things, they shouldn't be slowed down by smothering regulation.
40:25Yeah, absolutely.
40:29Yeah.
40:31Yeah, and I think these things should be done very much in the open so people can understand what's going on and nothing, you know, in the shadows.
40:37So sunlight is the best disinfectant.
40:47Hey, Elon, how are you?
40:48I'm Rob.
40:50These are two tough acts to follow here, but my question is a little more simple.
40:55What are some of the first courses of action you plan to take as the head of government efficiency if Trump gets elected, and do you have any areas of concern in particular?
41:05Yeah, that's a good question.
41:07You know, I definitely, you know, the focus right now is making sure that Trump wins the election.
41:15Otherwise, it doesn't matter.
41:17And I think if Trump loses, we're going to see, you know, our cities are going to get less safe.
41:23Our borders are obviously going to be wide open.
41:26We're going to see government spending go ballistic.
41:29It's inflation going nuts.
41:31It's going to be just bad on every level.
41:34And, like, fundamentally, if the current trend of, you know, strangulation by overregulation is not turned around, we will never get to Mars.
41:44It just will be illegal.
41:46And then we'll be a one-planet civilization.
41:48We won't be a space-faring civilization.
41:50And Starfleet will never be real.
41:53And we want Starfleet to be real.
41:55So, you know, I've had quite a bit of interaction with the government, you know, because SpaceX is the biggest NASA contractor, actually.
42:12There's a lot of work for NASA.
42:14And I'm a big fan of the agency, by the way.
42:16But, you know, there are expenditures that don't make a lot of sense, that are wasteful.
42:23And we need to put a stop to that.
42:26Honestly, there's so much government waste that's going on that I would call it a target-rich environment.
42:33Like, it's hard, in every direction, there's just mad waste.
42:38And I think simply, if people simply know that, well, if they waste a ton of taxpayer money, they're going to get fired, that will immediately improve the situation.
42:49Immediately.
42:51It's like...
42:56Yeah, it's just literally...
42:57And I think, actually, it's going to be both carrot and stick.
43:01It's like, so if a government official is very effective in spending your money...
43:06Taxpayer money is your money.
43:11If they're effective in spending your money, they should be promoted.
43:14They should be rewarded.
43:15And if they waste your money, or do something that's basically corruption, they should be fired.
43:21Obviously.
43:23You know, they have a duty to spend your money well.
43:26Yeah.
43:28Hey, Elon.
43:29As a veteran who was deployed because of...
43:32What would you say to an administration and a candidacy that is spreading lies or disinformation about the troops that are currently in combat, my friends?
43:41Yeah, can you believe that was said?
43:43And under Biden's laptop, President's declined, and so on.
43:46Yeah, I mean, during the Trump-Kamala debate, she said there was no active-duty soldiers out there.
43:54I'm like, I know a whole bunch of them.
43:56What are you talking about?
43:57That's a shameful, terrible lie.
44:02And she wasn't even fact-checked.
44:05And I'm like, are you kidding?
44:07Are you kidding?
44:13I mean, yeah, thank you.
44:20Yeah, and I'd just like to say, for the people, for the Americans out there who are serving in dangerous places right now, I'm like what Kamala said.
44:29Thank you for your service to the country.
44:46Elon, thank you for stepping up to help America when you don't have to.
44:51Like, you could be on an island right now.
44:53Yeah.
44:58Yeah, I could be...
45:08Yeah, I have a lot of jobs.
45:12So, no, it's true.
45:14I mean, there are, you know, a lot of people I know who are on a yacht, sipping a Mai Tai, whatever, on an island, you know.
45:21And, you know, that is a thing I could be doing.
45:27But I think, I can't do that if I think the future of civilization is at stake, which I do.
45:38Yeah.
45:40My question for you, I guess, one, do you know Alberto Congawala?
45:47He's the system manager for Europa Clipper.
45:50Oh.
45:51Which you sent...
45:52That's a cool mission, by the way.
45:53Which you sent into space on Monday.
45:55Yeah, yeah.
45:56Thank you very much.
45:57Absolutely.
45:58In fact, that was a mission where I talked to, you know, SpaceX team.
46:00It's like, you know, every mission's important, but, you know, this mission's extra important.
46:05So, yeah, because, you know, I think like you, like I think most people, I want a future where you look forward to it and you're excited about what's going to happen.
46:20That we're going to learn new things.
46:21That we're, you know, it's going to be better than the past.
46:26You know, and a future where we're a spacefaring civilization, and we're out there among the stars, where Star Trek is real.
46:33You know?
46:34That's exciting.
46:35I mean, there have to be, like, life can't just be about solving one problem after another.
46:39There have to be things that inspire you, that move your heart.
46:42Yeah.
46:43You know?
46:47We have a new warp drive.
46:50Yeah.
46:51That's a hard one to build, but at some point we should build a warp drive.
46:57But, you know, but even without the warp drive, the, you know, the Starship, the rocket made by SpaceX, is capable of building a city on Mars and a city on the Moon.
47:09That's what it's designed to do.
47:11But we're being massively slowed down by regulatory molasses.
47:19I mean, I'll tell you, like, a crazy thing.
47:21Like, we got fined $140,000 during launch.
47:24You know, which is one of the cool launch pads that doesn't overheat.
47:27And in an excess of caution, we actually brought in drinking water.
47:31So clean, super clean water.
47:33And the FAA said, no, you have to, sky water falls all the time.
47:37That is the same as the water that we used.
47:40It's lots of sky water.
47:43So, and they're not going to process any of our future applications.
47:48So, like, this is the kind of crazy stuff we're dealing with.
47:52Keep it rolling, Elon.
47:54Yeah.
47:55Hi, Elon.
47:57My name is Sarah.
47:59I'm from Philadelphia.
48:00I have a whole team here.
48:01First of all, I'm really excited about your, really, quickly.
48:09I would like to sincerely like to accept our protocol.
48:13I mean, the proposal.
48:15And, you know, we want to have some further discussion with you to take our country back.
48:23Well, thank you.
48:24Sure.
48:25Thanks.
