Bill Maher: You're right about almost everything. I mean, "Let's have more babies and raise them on Mars" I don't get that, but okay. Elon Musk: I think we should be cautious about civilization's decline. We have plummeting birth rates in most places. Bill Maher: Right. And we also... have plummeting resources. Elon Musk: No, no. Resources will be fine. Bill Maher: But they're not fine. They're not fine now. Elon Musk: Look, I'm not suggesting complacency. We do need to move to a sustainable energy economy as quickly as possible. But we're not in any danger of resource collapse. Bill Maher: But lots of people don't have enough food or water. Elon Musk: Water? We're not going to run out of water. People say we're running out of sand. Bill Maher: You can't drink the ocean. Elon Musk: But desalination is absurdly cheap. Bill Maher: Then why don't we do it? Elon Musk: We do. It is being done. There's already a lot of desalination. There's plenty of water. This is not an issue. I want to be clear about that.show more

The reason people lack food and water is because of their governments.

capitalist maybe 🤔

@argentcorvus GREED is the problem. Capitalism/Communism are lead by people People led by greed are the problem no matter what the system is

@skpywatts58832 It's true, but notably every single government operates on greed. The difference is capitalism weaponizes greed and harnesses it to do work.

The people who spread that nonsense about running out of water are insane

well his talking about drinkable water. he doesn't know about desalination

How do you think the Navy makes their drinking water we've been doing it for a long time

oh i never thought about it

Iran is literally blowing up desalination plant & Bill Maher is acting like they don't exist at scale all over the plant. He is still liberal

funny they act like they don't know

These are the lies people convince themselves of to feel better about not having kids

lol your correct tho

When a genius explains the world to a comedian pretending to be a reporter comedy gold..

lol

Desalination is not cheap or energy efficient. If you fix the energy problem, then okay, we have a fix. BUT the quality of topsoil globally is deteriorating. And barring a silver bullet, there will be no fix for it, and it will lead to famine.

there is a study about using wind energy which is cheaper

Surprise, surprise: Bill doesn’t know a thing about the world. Another idiot on stage, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

lol

is desalination real like we can drink sea water

In order to talk about REAL science with people, you first have to break through the mountain of low-IQ environmental propaganda they have been fed since childhood.

lol

Maher proving, yet again, that he has all the brains of a jellyfish

😂

he can't yet openly say they've been keeping us a false cage of scarcity for eons

As someone who worked in the water treatment industry for most of my adult life, Elon is 100% correct.

cool thanks man for that

Bill should shut up when talking to the man, he might learn something.

lol his trying to learn tho

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact it's cold as hell

i thought it has a balance weather like seasons

But there's no one there to raise them if you did

ft @elonmusk

Desalination is not cheap

oh no wonder it's not common

Maher is so out of his league as he spits nonsense that Elon immediately debunks.

yeah

Bill trying to act smart with all his goofy climate change bullshit

he doesn't know shit

I really like Maher but imagine thinking you're smarter than Elon Musk. Yeesh.

imagine that

Number on rule of totalitarian control, produce scarcity mindset.

yeah capitalist

Confused. Totalitarian only exists in the vacuum of communism, and communism is by proof in Marxist theory, the failure of Capitalism. Capitalism works exponentially in growth markets and abundance theory. Free market balances controlled systems and keeps things localized and sustainable.

well either ways nothing is balanced to me

In a fallen world, that’s true. But there are terrible systems and less terrible ones.

Bill Maher is an ignorant elitist pos.

well some of the ideas are from his audience

This is why ai data centers should be required to desalinate ocean water creating multiple products while not using up fresh groundwater.

wow great idea

Celebrities swimming in Olympic sized pools at home screaming we’re running out of water lol

Hmmm!

Musk is a cunt

The problem is people living in places that don’t have water like Arizona in Las Vegas 😂

😂 well that's a problem

Desalination isn't cheap, it's very energy intensive. With solar or something it could be cheap, but i don't think we're there yet

it's cheap bro. ask Israel

note to Bill... don't try to be smarter than Elon dude. It will never end well for you.

yeah i think he learnt his lesson there

We don’t do it because they want us to think there’s a shortage of water when the earth surface 2/3 made of water

you maybe right

The main resource and the reason people are having less kids, is money, not food and water…

Money 💰😯

Bill is a dumb person's idea of a smart man. Elon is a dumb person's idea of a dumb man

Who cares about this clown

He's such a dolt. Yes, both of them.

You know where birth rates are just fine? The places where immigrants are coming from.

that's imbalance for me

There was a proposal in Los Angeles for a desalination plant to provide all water needed for LA. CA coastal commission rejected it. Abundant water rejected.
