Elon and I have resolved our differences after a long chat at one of our conferences. I admire his work with SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink, and I want to support him and his companies. Many people view the government as ineffective, especially regarding issues like inner-city education and stagnant income for the bottom 20% over the past two decades. We deserve a better government, and simply sending more money to Washington won't solve the problem. Government needs to be more accountable and efficient, focusing on outcomes. It's a complicated system, but I hope we can contribute positively to it.

Elon Musk explains his career arc and overarching vision. After dropping out of Stanford’s physics program to start Zip2, which he later sold, and after PayPal, he set his sights on three areas he believed would most impact humanity: the Internet, space exploration, and transforming the economy from hydrocarbons to solar electricity for energy and transportation. He remains optimistic about humanity on Earth and frames space as a second path that would yield a richer human experience if we become a spacefaring civilization. Musk clarifies SpaceX’s relationship with NASA: NASA is a customer, not a competitor. SpaceX’s Falcon Nine rocket launches the Dragon spacecraft, which goes to the International Space Station (ISS), docks, transfers astronauts or cargo, and Dragon returns to Earth. The Falcon Nine acts as the booster, delivering Dragon to space and enabling ISS servicing in the post-shuttle era. The goal is to replace the Space Shuttle’s role starting in 2011 with SpaceX’s crew and cargo transport. On the state of the U.S. space program, Musk notes that in 1969 we went to the Moon, yet more than three decades later we struggle to reach low Earth orbit, which he views as a backward step. He attributes this to misaligned priorities, technological choices, and a lack of will at the highest levels of government to take the next steps toward establishing bases on the Moon or Mars. He believes a presidential priority that aspires to Mars would be beneficial, arguing that Mars should be the focus rather than returning to the Moon, which he describes as barren and resource-poor. Regarding competition in space, Musk says there is no serious competition presently for SpaceX, though he admires Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin and notes that Branson’s Virgin Galactic is pursuing suborbital, not orbital, flight. He emphasizes the enormous difference in scale: Branson’s craft aims for Mach 3, while SpaceX targets Mach 25, with energy requirements increasing quadratically with velocity. He insists SpaceX’s challenge is fundamentally different and far more demanding, and that the real risk comes from SpaceX’s own mistakes rather than from competitors. The long-term goal is to make life multiplanetary, starting with Mars as the viable destination. Even if SpaceX cannot do it alone, it aims to help make it happen and to broaden humanity’s reach beyond Earth. On his financial success, Musk says he has “made a fortune” and rejects the idea of retiring to a beach, describing startup life as driving him to work. He uses the metaphor of a startup being “like eating glass and staring into the abyss” and says the key criterion for choosing a startup is whether it matters—whether it will matter to the world if successful. He emphasizes that benefiting humanity is a core motivation, noting that many Silicon Valley peers share this aim, though not everyone prioritizes it. Back on Earth, Musk discusses Tesla Motors, an electric car company focused on high performance and sustainability. The Roadster, set to debut in 2007, goes 0-60 mph in under four seconds, with torque benefits from electric propulsion and greater energy efficiency than a Prius. He explains Tesla’s strategy: start with a high-end, high-cost product to enter the market, then move toward mass-market models—Model Two at around $49,000 and Model Three at around $30,000—to accelerate adoption as technology matures. Tesla’s name honors Nikola Tesla, inventor of the AC induction motor. Tesla’s showroom approach will feature customer centers and a consumer-friendly service experience, with a vision to demonstrate that electric vehicles can be desirable and practical. Musk notes that there has been no formal sale offer from legacy automakers, but he sees Tesla as a catalyst to demonstrate feasibility and demand for electric propulsion and zero-emission power generation, ideally paired with solar power. Regarding daily management, Musk is CEO and founder of SpaceX, dedicating about 80% of his time there, while he is chairman and CEO of Tesla but not involved in daily operations. He spends roughly three days a month on Tesla, with SpaceX occupying the majority of his focus, citing a Steve Jobs–like model of cross-company oversight. He describes his typical day as starting around 7:30–8:00 a.m., with a flexible schedule, and a workday extending to about 8 p.m., surrounded by SpaceX colleagues in a cubicle. In sum, Musk envisions a future where humanity is a multiplanetary species, with SpaceX advancing orbital capabilities and Mars ambitions, while Tesla accelerates the transition to sustainable energy and electric transportation, all rooted in a commitment to meaningful, world-changing progress.

People paint me as an oligarch trying to raid the government for wealth, but since joining the administration to improve government efficiency, my net worth has dropped by $133 billion. Besides the financial hit, there's been vandalism targeting Tesla across the country, like Molotov cocktails at dealerships and burned charging stations. Tesla's stock recently experienced its biggest one-day drop since September, marking the seventh consecutive week of losses. So, why make these sacrifices? While wealth, power, and fame motivate many, I already possessed these before my current role. This initiative has only cost me personally. Therefore, consider that, much like my goals of putting a man on Mars or electrifying vehicles, I view this as a mission to put the United States on sound financial footing.

- The conversation opens with a reflection on Doge from Elon Musk’s perspective. Musk says the Doge government project was “a little a little bit successful” and claims they “stopped a lot of funding for that… that really just made no sense,” noting that 2–3% of government payments were unnecessarily sent without proper codes or explanations, which made stopping the waste difficult. - When asked if he would do Doge again, Musk says no, and suggests that instead of Doge he would have worked in his companies and not had the cars running. - On irrational fears, Musk says he tries not to have irrational fears and squelches any he identifies. - If starting from scratch today with a thousand dollars, Musk recalls originally coming to North America with about 2,500 Canadian dollars (roughly $2 US) and says that with the knowledge he has now, it would require Armageddon or a terminal failure of civilization for that scenario to be plausible again; otherwise he could recruit funding based on the high returns he can promise. - In the Katie Miller podcast episode, the host takes Musk back to January 20 (in the Roosevelt Room) and asks what happened next with Doge. Musk explains Doge stemmed from Internet suggestions; it was initially intended to call the Government Efficiency Commission, but the Internet suggested Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. - On success, Musk reiterates they were “a little… somewhat successful,” citing the elimination of wasteful payments and the example of eliminating a large portion of zombie payments through requiring a payment code and explanation. - Would Musk start Doge again from scratch or know what he knows now? He says no, and notes that rather than Doge, he would focus on his companies and avoid the funding backlash from stopping money flows to political corruption. - After DC experiences, Musk expresses that the aim is the least government intervention possible, but he highlights a major concern: large transfer payments to illegal immigrants, arguing that citizenship fast-tracking and government payments create a powerful pull factor, effectively “voter importation.” - On AI, Musk believes AI and robotics will eventually provide all goods and services, making work optional; he distinguishes his predicted outcomes from what he wishes would happen, acknowledging the rapid pace of AI advancement and the difficulty in slowing it. - Sleep and routine: Musk averages about six hours of sleep per night; he tracks sleep using ex-posts and a phone app, finding five hours fifty-six minutes as a recent average. He emphasizes information triage and minimizing context switching to manage inbound communications across Tesla, SpaceX, X (Twitter), and personal matters. - On people and leadership, Musk describes President Trump as very funny and “naturally funny,” and says the funniest person he knows in real life is Trump who can be effortless in humor. - God and religion: Musk says God is the creator and acknowledges that the universe came from something, noting that people have different labels. - About space, Musk emphasizes Starship’s potential for full and rapid reusability and calls life becoming multi-planetary one of the top evolutionary milestones, alongside multicellular life and life branching from oceans to land. He states Starship is capable of enabling sustainable multiplanetary life, with Starship not using AI in its creation. - He clarifies that Tesla and X AI both contribute to improving life on Earth, and stresses that Mars would be dangerous and uncomfortable in early days; it would be risky with high chances of death, and early settlers would face hardship rather than an escape from Earth. - On Starbase, Musk describes it as an inspirational city and a rocket factory by the Rio Grande on a sandbar; Starbase is legally incorporated as a city with tax-exempt status, a milestone akin to Disney World as a company town. He notes Cape Canaveral proximity and recalls visiting Disney World multiple times with his kids; Space Mountain is his favorite ride but could use an upgrade. - On fashion, Musk laments that styles have not evolved much since 2010–2015 and argues for more distinctive, era-defining fashion—suggesting higher collars, bolder silhouettes, and more personality in wardrobe. - Conspiracy theories: Musk says he hasn’t seen evidence of aliens; he does confirm that Neil Armstrong and others walked on the Moon and jokes that they even played golf there. He notes there is gravity on the Moon (one-sixth) and that there is no atmosphere. - The biggest misconception about Musk: the general belief that he is a difficult boss; he counters with praise for the mission-driven loyalty of his employees and characterizes his workplaces as highly inspirational. - On Starbase’s origin, he reveals the desire to create something inspirational and notes Starbase’s proximity to Disney World as part of the branding and cultural context. - For a hypothetical dinner party, Musk names Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, and Nikola Tesla, and envisions a grand 12-course meal; he jokes about possibly including a tiny cheeseburger as one course. - Closing note: the episode wraps with thanks and a tease for the next installment.

I'm worried about the media's portrayal of current events as an escalation of past conflicts. The intensity directed at Elon Musk mirrors the previous attacks on others. These protests, I believe, are organized by those financially threatened by Musk's actions, particularly his uncovering of issues with Doge and USAID funding. Large sums of money are at stake, hence the organized opposition. These protests aren't organic; they're funded campaigns mobilizing NGOs and using existing networks. The question remains: Will those who opposed previous actions reflect on their positions if things improve under the current leadership? It's a test of character and objectivity. Some will remain entrenched, others will adapt. Musk’s actions may have been a defense of the West, particularly his acquisition of X (formerly Twitter), which he likely did for less than it was worth. Despite other platforms, Twitter's addictive nature persists.

I'm concerned about the media's portrayal of figures like Elon Musk, comparing them to extreme historical figures. The protests against Elon seem organized, possibly by those who stand to lose financially from discoveries being made. These groups may have also been involved in efforts against Trump and even funded research related to the coronavirus origins. Protests aren't always organic; they can be funded and mobilized by NGOs. I wonder if people who believed things would worsen will be capable of self-reflection if the world improves. Some will adapt, while others won't. People may realize they were supporting warmongering or the theft of tax dollars. Elon might be saving the West, especially with his involvement with X, formerly known as Twitter. He's smarter than the critics, and everyone is tapped into the platform, even those who claim to have left. Alternative platforms quickly become echo chambers.
