Like we all existed around the Mediterranean for like most of Western human history.

And then all of a sudden Columbus discovered the new world.

And it's like, all right, we need new shipping technology.

We have a taste for all of the fineries of this new world.

So many people want to pay for passage.

And it's like this economic bonanza and just zoom all the way out again.

And like, where are most of the raw materials in the solar system?

let alone the galaxy, not on Earth.

We have this bias to the only raw materials that matter are wood and farmland, but there are raw materials, atomic raw materials on every other world and in the asteroid belt and just floating around in space.

And getting the technology, the Starship to go access them is going to be an unbelievable boon for humanity.

But it does take that leap of imagination to get there.

Tesla is, I think, going through, like these startups are stacked S curves, right?

And so electric cars was one very fundamental innovation.

Autonomy is a whole nother one.

And so a big question mark is this leap to autonomy.

And then he's already looking around this corner to do humanoid robots.

Yeah, humanoid robots are in Tesla.

He's just shut down the Model X and the Model S production lines and switched them over to building humanoid robots.

That is coming quickly.

He's starting to build robo taxis that are fully autonomous, no steering wheel.
