Elon, we are incredibly grateful for your time.
We know what a busy man you are.
Why is it important for you to be here today speaking at this Unite the Kingdom event?
I give SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all, to be clear.
In fact, I told people this.
I said, look, we're probably going to fail, but we should give it a try because if we don't,
If there's not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly space-bearing civilization.
Why SpaceX public now?
Because you had choices.
You didn't have to.
We're embarking on a massive new growth phase and we need capital for that.
We don't think this is a particularly difficult thing to do.
In fact, we think it's easier than our communications satellite.
The Starlink V3 communications satellite is an incredibly complex machine.
The AI data center would be much simpler by comparison.
If we go to space...
we can go far beyond the electricity generation of Earth.
In fact, this is going to sound crazy, but you could actually increase harnessed energy by a factor of a million and still be using much less than a millionth of the Sun's energy.
