ELON: UNIVERSITIES OFTEN PROPAGANDIZE KIDS INSTEAD OF TEACHING THEM USEFUL THINGS “I do think that too often, people do a university or college thing for 4 years, and it's unnecessary. They accrue a lot of debt, and it's hard to pay off the debt. And they often don't learn...

Education has become indoctrination. We need to reverse that and start teaching practical and applicable skills that will lead to actual jobs and not to an ethereal job that may never materialize.

Elon’s right, universities may be handing out debt, but not always the tools to pay it off!

I know many people who went to college, didn’t end up going onto a career, and the college offered so many of those degrees, that thousands of people end up fighting over a position that only opens up every couple of years. So not only are they paying debt for the rest of their lives, the skills not applicable to reality, the college sold the degree to more people than jobs are actually available.

This is not new information. Students are deciding to take on enormous debt to fund their partying and then whine and scream injustice when it’s time to pay it back.

Schools don’t teach you about credit, investing, how to pay bills. Nothing of value even history is being taught poorly nothing about nikola Tesla but they’ll teach about Edison who invented nothing just stole everything

ELON: A USEFUL LIFE IS A GOOD LIFE, A LIFE WORTH HAVING LIVED "Try to live a useful life. Do things that are useful to your fellow human beings, to the world. It's very hard to be useful, very hard. Are you contributing more than you consume? Can you try to have a positive net contribution to society? I think that's the thing to aim for. Not to try to be a leader for the sake of being a leader. If you live a useful life, that is a good life, a life worth having lived." Source: Lex Fridman Podcast

In a remarkable moment, Musk unconfidently told a caller, “I’ll do my best,” before delivering one of the most brilliant answers about the broken education system that you'll ever hear. 1. “Educational scores have gone downhill dramatically since the creation of the Department of Education, which doesn't make any sense.” 2. “If you're going to create a department and spend a bunch of money, you should expect things to get better, not worse.” 3. “The Department of Education at the federal level has pushed all sorts of propaganda on kids that has nothing to do with useful skills. 4. “Schools should be focused on teaching kids about the world and teaching them useful skills so that, when they graduate, they can do something useful. That's the whole point.” 5. With respect to college, he said kids will often “spend four years in college, not learn anything useful, and be saddled with a ton of debt. And what's the point of that? It doesn't make any sense.”

ELON: IT’S INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO BE USEFUL TO A LOT OF PEOPLE “Try to be as useful as possible. It may sound trite, but it's so hard to be useful, especially to be useful to a lot of people, where you say the area under the curve of total utility is how useful have you been to your fellow human beings times how many people? It's almost like the physics definition of true work. It's incredibly difficult to do that. And I think if you aspire to do true work, your probability of success is much higher. Don't aspire to glory, aspire to work.” Source: Elon Musk at Y Combinator, June 2025

Too many people actually spend four years, accumulate a ton of debt, and then often don’t have useful skills” The future belongs to those who can actually do..... not just those who can study and go into debt

ELON: EVERYONE ON EARTH WILL WANT THEIR OWN ROBOT “My prediction is the robots will actually make so many robots and AI that they will actually saturate all human needs, meaning you won't be able to even think of something to ask the robot for at a certain point. There'll be more robots than people. I think everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one, because who wouldn't want a robot to, assuming it's very safe, watch over your kids, take care of your pet. If you have elderly parents, it's very difficult to take care of them. It's expensive, and there just aren't enough young people to take care of the old people. If you had a robot that could take care of and protect an elderly parent, I think that would be great. That would be an amazing thing to have.

In a lot of cases, it is the average citizen that knows more than the journalist. Very often, when I see an article about something that I know a lot about, they get a lot wrong. It's the best interpretation of someone who doesn't really understand what's going on in the industry.

.Elon Musk: Generally, you want education to be as close to a video game as possible, like a good video game. You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling and far easier to do. You really want to disconnect the whole grade level thing from the subjects and allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject. It seems like a really obvious thing. Most teaching today is a lot like vaudeville, and as a result, it's just not that compelling. It's like somebody standing up there and lecturing to you, and they've done the same lecture several years in a row. They're not necessarily all that engaged in doing it. A university education is often unnecessary. That's not to say it's unnecessary for all people, but I think you probably learn about as much in the first two years. Most of it is from your classmates. For a lot of companies, they do want to see the completion of the degree because they're looking for someone who's going to persevere and see it through to the end. And that's actually what's important to them. So it really depends on what somebody's goal is. If the goal is to start a company, I would say there's no point in finishing college.
