But as he explains, it's like, yes, I push people really hard.

I sometimes step on toes, but I do that in service of this mission that serves all of us, which is

making life multi-planetary or electrifying transport, advancing clean energy.

If it's Neuralink, it's helping paraplegics or quadriplegics control computers or eventually walk again.

That also has some AI alignment components to it.

There's a chapter in the book, my companies are philanthropy.

Everything that he starts or all the technologies that he tries to advance come from this inherent love of humanity and the desire to solve problems that make

collectively our lives better or preserve consciousness itself.

I...

I almost early stages of this book, I didn't have it in there.

Um, and it wasn't until the purpose piece kind of clarified itself that I was like, oh, this is actually like the frame through which he is so motivated.

Um, as what I'm sure that deep, that book goes into great detail about it, but like there's been many extinction events.

in human history, or not in human history, but in Earth's history.

Most species were wiped out multiple times, entire continents destroyed.

Asteroids have hit Earth in the past.

We don't know if things have evolved and then been killed.

But his big motivation is make life multi-planetary, preserve the only form of consciousness that we're aware of that exists in the world, in the universe, which is ourselves.

we're going to feel pretty stupid if we destroy ourselves before we, before we back ourselves up, like back up the hard drive.

And his point is like, you know, we've been around, earth has been around a really long time.

Humanity has not been around so long.
