Someone tried to pick a fight with me on the road on 05/21. They didn’t succeed — but the whole thing is recorded, because it’s a Tesla. The safest car in the world. If they had FSD, they never would’ve put themselves in that situation in the first place. FSD saves lives not only by preventing accidents, but also by helping reduce road rage. When the car handles the driving calmly, a lot of unnecessary anger never even starts.

Today I’m celebrating one week of living in my Tesla. I’ve owned the Tesla for 12 days and have already covered 2,276 km (1,414 miles). So far I’ve visited two countries: Italy (where I picked up the Tesla) and France. The plan is to travel all across Europe and live in the Tesla for two years. Daily updates with videos and posts keep coming in. The Elon Musk effect is real.

The main difference between Elon Musk and Scam Altman: Elon Musk actually changes the world for the better and saves lives: Tesla accelerates clean energy and has saved thousands of lives on the roads. SpaceX is making humanity multi-planetary. Starlink connects and saves millions in wars and disasters. Neuralink gives hope to the paralyzed. He pays a very heavy personal price for it — endless attacks, lawsuits, media smears, and a broken personal life. Scam Altman? He mostly just takes. His technology (ChatGPT) still struggles to genuinely help people with real problems — hallucinations, lies, and fabrications instead of real answers. He turned OpenAI from “for the benefit of humanity” into a profit machine. And the suspicious death of whistleblower researcher Suchir Balaji, who was highly critical of OpenAI, still raises serious unanswered questions. One builds the future and saves lives. The other takes the money and plays games.

Tesla’s predictive navigation just hit different. I woke up in the car, about to say “Hey Grok, take me to the gym”… and before I could even ask, Tesla already suggested the gym as my #1 destination based on my driving history and routine. Didn’t type anything. Didn’t say anything. It just knew. This feature that learns your common stops is actually super useful.

Elon Musk on why Optimus is so brutally hard to build (hardware side): “The hands are the majority of the engineering difficulty of the entire robot.” Human hands evolved insane sophistication — ~27–28 degrees of freedom, complex tendon web (mostly forearm muscles), crazy dexterity. No supply chain exists. Tesla had to design every single actuator, motor, gearbox & electronics from physics first principles. “Harder than Cybertruck or Model X… somewhere between Model X and Starship.” Optimus v3 finally aiming for true human-level hand performance. The “hands problem” is massively underestimated.

Ricky, an amazing 71-year-old man, bought his first Tesla solely for the Tesla Self-Driving software. Without it, he would have to rely on someone else to drive for him. The Elon Musk effect on humanity.

2007A 36-year-old Elon Musk sits down for a quiet PBS interview and says, almost casually: “The most important thing we can do for the future of consciousness is to become a multi-planetary species… Everything else pales in comparison.” He then predicts, with zero hype: •Fully reusable rockets that land like airplanes •Electric cars that outperform gasoline in every way and go mass-market •Solar + batteries becoming the cheapest energy on Earth •Humans on Mars and a self-sustaining city there Jeff Bezos was already the richest man on Earth in 2007. He started Blue Origin in 2000 with the exact same “multi-planetary” dream. 18+ years later: Blue Origin has flown exactly zero orbital missions. New Glenn still hasn’t launched. No reusable booster has ever landed. No Mars plan with dates. Elon? •Falcon 9 boosters have landed 400+ times •Starship (bigger than anything ever built) is flying •Tesla sells 2 million cars a year and is worth more than the rest of the car industry combined •Solar + batteries are now the cheapest electricity source in history •First uncrewed Starships to Mars: 2026–2028. Crewed: late 2020s/early 2030s — exactly the timeline he gave in 2007 The vision never wavered. Not once. The enthusiasm is the same calm, burning conviction you hear in that 2007 clip today. The determination? He went personally bankrupt in 2008 keeping SpaceX and Tesla alive with his last dollars. Almost 20 years later, every single “crazy” prediction from that interview is either already reality or on schedule. This is what relentless execution looks like. Watch the 2007 interview (25 minutes that aged like fine wine): He didn’t just dream about the future. He scheduled it. And showed up.

Elon Musk explains the “four R’s” that will make life multiplanetary: Rapidly Reusable Reliable Rockets. The breakthrough is catching the Super Heavy booster with giant mechanical “chopsticks” (Mechazilla arms). No landing legs = no time wasted on leg deployment, pickup, leg retraction, or slow transport. The same tower that stacks the rocket catches it directly after landing and places it straight back on the launch mount in seconds. Booster flight time back to pad: ~5–6 minutes. Refueling + stacking Starship on top: ~30–40 minutes. → In principle, the entire stack could refly every 1–2 hours. Next milestone: catch the Starship upper stage the same way. This extreme rapid reuse is the only path to drastically lower the cost per ton to Mars.

Flashback to July 2022: Elon Musk showing Everyday Astronaut the massive leap from messy Raptor 1 (‘Christmas tree’ vibes 😂) to clean Raptor 2 – 230 tons thrust at 300 bar, tons of parts deleted! Fast-forward to 2026: We’re already on Raptor 3 – 280+ tons thrust, even simpler design, no external pipes, in production (100+ built!), testing like crazy, set for Starship V3 flights soon. Insane progress in ~3.5 years!

In 2022, Elon Musk casually dropped that he held the record for the most-liked tweet ever by a living person—4.7M likes on his iconic post: “Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in.” 😂 As of January 2026, he still holds this record, with no newer tweet surpassing it. Only Elon can turn a wild, nostalgic joke into the internet’s biggest flex while deadpan explaining why our grandparents had endless energy. The man’s humor, timing, and sheer audacity are unmatched. Legend.

Elon Musk doesn’t lie and is always open to criticism. In the 2011 WSJ interview, Elon corrected the interviewer about Tesla’s government loan: • It was not stimulus money or a bailout. • Came from the ATVM program (created & signed by George Bush pre-crisis). • Tesla had to prove company viability independent of the loan (GM/Chrysler couldn’t qualify due to bankruptcy). • The ~$465M loan was specifically to accelerate Model S production (~$50k car, high volume), not to rescue Tesla. • Elon: “We did not need the loan… it was to accelerate progress,” and he’d accept criticism if it advances sustainable transport faster. • It included interest payments + government stock warrants if not repaid early. Other major recipients of the same ATVM loans (much larger amounts): Ford Motor Company received ~$5.9 billion, Nissan North America ~$1.45 billion. Fisker Automotive got ~$529M (later defaulted), and Vehicle Production Group ~$50M. Transparency on full display—big legacy automakers got far bigger slices.

Did you know? Elon Musk’s first public mention of tunnels solving urban traffic was in a Jan 26, 2016 Hong Kong interview (around min 9): “The problem with cities is that we build cities in 3D, we see tall buildings with lots of people in each floor, but you have roads that are 2D, and that obviously just doesn’t work. You’re guaranteed to have gridlock. Hong Kong is in the process of building some tunnels… that really is a solution of traffic in major cities.” Just days later, he referenced it at the Hyperloop competition at Texas A&M (Jan 29-30). This idea evolved into founding The Boring Company in Dec 2016, sparked by his infamous traffic jam tweet. Comprehensive searches show no earlier interview mentions!

Watching Elon Musk on Charlie Rose in 2009 is surreal. Back then: • Tesla delivering ~1,000 Roadsters/year • Model S just unveiled, promised for 2011 at ~$50k • SpaceX had reached orbit once, Falcon 9 about to fly, hoping to end US reliance on Russian rockets post-2010 • Splitting time evenly between Tesla & SpaceX As of February 2026: • Tesla: Pioneering groundbreaking tech like scaled dry-electrode 4680 batteries (major breakthrough cutting costs/energy/use, boosting scalability & energy density), advanced AI for Full Self-Driving (FSD nearing unsupervised autonomy), Cybercab/Robotaxi rollout accelerating, Optimus humanoid robots heading toward mass production & even Mars missions • SpaceX: 165 orbital launches in 2025 (world record!), ~15 so far in 2026; Crew Dragon standard (no Russian dependency); Starlink >9M subscribers (expected to double again) • Hot update: Focus on “self-growing city” on Moon (<10 years); Mars delayed a bit; IPO rumors at ~$1.5T valuation? Same visionary drive from 2009. Execution: now planetary + AI/robotics scale.

In a 2025 interview, Ted Cruz asked Elon Musk how he knew to dive straight into government computers to uncover waste & fraud. Elon: “The government is run by computers… several hundred computers effectively run the government. To reconcile accounting and eliminate waste & fraud, you must analyze the computer databases… otherwise you’re just asking humans who ask other humans who eventually ask contractors to query the computer. It’s many layers deep.” He called it “reprogramming the matrix” — direct access to the actual electronic payment flows. No surprise from the man who built PayPal, revolutionized finance, and runs Tesla (still the only EV maker with massive profits) and SpaceX by mastering systems, data, and execution at the deepest level. This is why DOGE worked. Real expertise meets real problems.

Watching 2009 Elon Musk on Charlie Rose casually drop one of the clearest explanations ever about suborbital vs orbital flight: Suborbital (Virgin/Blue Origin style tourism flights): → Top speed ~ Mach 3 → Roughly 9 units of energy Orbital (real orbit, what SpaceX does): → Needs ~ Mach 25 → Roughly 625 units of energy Why? Energy scales with velocity squared → orbital takes ~70× more energy! Suborbital is basically just ~1.5% of the effort needed to actually reach & stay in orbit. He was already explaining this 16 years ago like it was nothing.

Elon Musk is the most consistent person I know (unfortunately, I don’t know him personally). Every interview you look up, the message stays the same. He doesn’t change. No one can buy him off. His mission is always clear: To improve human life, to multiply the stars we live on, free speech, cheap and sustainable energy, cheap labor. And lives of abundance. If you don’t support this mission, then there’s no doubt that something is wrong with you, and thank you that you’re not part of my life. Thanks ZUBY: for this interview. Link to the full interview is in the first comment
