Well, I think actually most – like physicists, even in the Soviet Union or in Germany, they had to be very truth-seeking in order to make those things work.

And if you're stuck in some system, it doesn't mean you believe in that system.

Von Braun, who was one of the greatest rocket engineers ever, he put on death row in Nazi Germany for saying that he didn't want to make weapons, he only wanted to go to the moon.

He got pulled off death row at last minute when they said, hey, you're about to execute your best rocket engineer.

But then you helped them, right?

Look, if you're stuck in some system that you can't escape, then you'll do physics within that system.

You'll develop technologies within that system if you can't escape it.

Everything.

These things are only probabilities.

They're not certainties.

So I'm not saying that for sure Grok will do everything, but at least if you try, it's better than not trying.

At least if that's fundamental to the mission, it's better than if it's not fundamental to the mission.

And understanding the universe means that you have to propagate intelligence into the future.

You have to be curious about all things universe.

And if...

It would be much less interesting to eliminate humanity than to see humanity grow and prosper.

I like Mars, obviously.

Everyone knows I love Mars.

But Mars is kind of boring because it's got a bunch of rocks compared to Earth.

Earth is much more interesting.
