Elon Musk: "If civilization cannot develop, then nothing else matters." "Profits are irrelevant… Without civilization, we cannot survive." "You must support the development of civilization, because without it, humanity cannot survive." A reminder that, in Musk's view, the ultimate goal is not profit—it's advancing civilization and securing humanity's future.

The focus should not be on just anything, but rather on paving the way for peace, resisting the sabotage to peace orchestrated by the forces of darkness. "The word which He sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all)" Act10:36 Eph6:12

Civilization is doomed because far too many people just want to watch it all burn.

I thought about it a lot overnight and I know today that old school democracy loses out in the face of AI and robotics who are going to keep track of what we say until The bitter end. 🇨🇦🍺 We best scrap amongst each other and see who is worthy to them! Them being the bots.

It’s an interesting perspective. Do we care enough about future generations to plant trees now that will outlast our lifetimes? Visionaries have always opted in for long term presence. @elonmusk is one such visionary.

A vision bigger than quarterly earnings is rare. Whether you agree with Musk or not, building technology that leaves humanity better off is a far more meaningful legacy than simply maximizing profits. The real challenge is making sure actions consistently match those ambitions.

In this statement, we need to understand what "Development of Civilization" means. - ecological destruction, human degradation...?

Há uma ideia essencial aqui: lucro é um instrumento, não uma finalidade civilizatória. Uma sociedade pode acumular riqueza, tecnologia e poder e, ainda assim, fracassar como civilização. Desenvolver-se significa ampliar conhecimento, preservar a continuidade humana e transformar capacidade tecnológica em futuro. A questão decisiva não é apenas quanto conseguimos produzir, mas se aquilo que produzimos aumenta as chances de a humanidade continuar existindo, evoluindo e avançando.

… are the first things humans, through cooperation, successfully thrive on. Money, power, Chris Ruth‘s Steak House, and Disneyland, are not the things that will secure our survival. That comes much later. Diversions, cheating on our mates, appropriating our neighbors valuables

This is the bigger picture. Companies come and go, but the technologies we build today shape the future of humanity. The real question is: are we creating tools that only generate wealth, or tools that move civilization forward? 🚀

Me maravillo esa es la palabra y digo este hombre como dimensionó los cambios que está haciendo con su equipo y lo que está visionando para el futuro: la IA no se hubiera movido tan rápido, la conectividad, base de datos, energía, servicios ships..

Civilization can't develop when you keep taking from it. You take from the people and expect civilization to grow? Elon is full of shit and talks nothing but bullshit.

I keep crying out to Grok with my plan to save humanity but you aren't hearing me. So maybe our doom is on you, maybe it's on our leader, I really don't know. But at least I am trying when so many others have no idea what they should be doing. #WAKEUP!

…are not the sort of ideations occupying the forefront of our brains. Profits are meaningless if you have no companion to share it with. Elements, harsh seasonal weather, is what we were concerned with. It wasn’t ‘til the inroads were established when the opportunity afforded

Multiplanetary expansion only makes sense when survival itself becomes the primary metric.
