So...

I think if anyone would know if there are aliens among us, it would be me.

And we have 9,000 satellites up there, and not once have we had to maneuver around an alien spaceship.

So I'm like, I don't know.

Bottom line is, I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare, and it might only be us.

And if that's the case, then we need to do everything possible to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished.

Because we're effectively, the way I view it is, the image in my mind is of a tiny candle in a vast darkness, a tiny candle of consciousness that could easily go out.

and that's why it's important to make life multi-planetary, such that if there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster on Earth, that consciousness continues.

That's the purpose of SpaceX.

Tesla is obviously about sustainable technology, and also, at this point, we've sort of added to our mission sustainable abundance.

So, with robotics and AI,

This is really the path to abundance for all.

If you say, you know, people often talk about solving global poverty or essentially how do we make, give everyone a very high standard of living.

I think the only way to do this is AI and robotics.

Which doesn't mean that it is without its issues.

We need to be very careful with AI.

We need to be very careful with robotics.

We don't want to find ourselves in a James Cameron movie.

You know, Terminator.

He's got great movies, I love his movies, but we don't want to be in Terminator, obviously.
