So we could run continuous mining, continuous manufacturing processes on the Moon at a fraction of the cost of what it would take to do it here on Earth.

The biggest limiting factor, getting people to the Moon.

And that is largely solved or will be solved in the next few years by robotics.

So I think that there's this pretty profound intersection with what's going on in robotics with this moment for space industrialization and moving to the moon.

So Tesla, I think 20 years from now is actually a more interesting story, whether they're the same independent company or the same company.

I think we're going to look back one day and have this kind of laughing observation that Tesla started out as an electric car company.

100%.

Ended up becoming an autonomous car company.

And the autonomous competency is what led to the robotics revolution.

And the robotics revolution, even if the socialists ban robotics on Earth and tell us no robots allowed, they're taking all the jobs, you could ship all those robots to the moon and they could get to work and create an entirely new manufacturing frontier for...

for our civilization, for humanity.

That frontier can manufacture precious metals and other goods and ship them back.

You could manufacture semiconductors on the moon.

All that's missing is the robots.

So moving the robots to the moon or setting up the materials for robots to build themselves on the moon is kind of the first phase of this transition, you know, asking about 20 years from now.

And then the next phase is building this all out.

So look, I mean, I think that this may not be, and it certainly won't be limited to just SpaceX, but SpaceX is demonstrating its capacity at being effectively the railroads.

You know, what the railroads were to the West and to the frontier in the West, you know, in the last generation, SpaceX will be to the moon and ultimately to Mars

And there's going to be an extraordinary abundance of production that's going to come out of the moon.

The moon has everything, by the way.
