What’s on Elon Musk’s mind? In this exclusive conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Musk details how the radical new innovations he’s working on — Tesla’s intelligent humanoid robot Optimus, SpaceX’s otherworldly Starship and Neuralink’s brain-machine interfaces, among others — could help maximize the lifespan of humanity and create a world where goods and services are abundant and accessible for all. It’s a compelling vision of a future worth getting excited about. (Recorded at the Tesla Texas Gigafactory on April 6, 2022)
Just over a week after this interview was filmed, Elon Musk joined TED2022 for another (live) conversation, where he discussed his bid to purchase Twitter, the biggest regret of his career, how his brain works and more. Watch that conversation here: https://youtu.be/cdZZpaB2kDM

Also clean energy ie solar, wind , like Elon said
…and robotics, since people are evolving
that's amazing I'm also hopeful for my future
I'm going to college and I'm going to make a steam powered electric generating car charger prototype soon I will be working with top minds soon using a tank of water a steam wheel an electric generator and a giant magnifying glass. There may be a way to get the water to circulate and repressurize without having to add water but it will probably emit steam and have to be refilled because of the fact that steam will rise and water will fall there's a good chance it will be circulative I just haven't figured it all out yet. I think it's going to have to be tall
sweetheart, what's the budget for the construction of SpaceX? I plan to settle when I do the funding for Xtra, for example, it's broken, how can you get back
Thank you so.mucj Ted for your amazing
i i i i i i i i i i i it goes like thi thi thi thi this….
"What's on Elon Musk's mind?" Unrestrained and unhinged insanity and egomania indicative of someone that never for a moment had a solid emotional foundation. You are what you were in high school (I was a sports and social star and a nice guy). Regardless of title or money, he is the same desperate, unstable weirdo he must have been back then. I'm smarter than he is but I'm comfortable in my skin. He'd fall apart in my presence.
Then why not save earth Elon?
beside of that, let's talk about the quality of the picture
ELON MUSK I love you very much, ich liebe dich sehr
σε αγαπω παρα πολυ
ti amo moltissimo, 私はあなたがとても大好きです, 我非常愛你, je t'aime beaucoup, أنا أحبك كثيراً…
Unlike Bezos I can’t help liking Musk. He has taken huge risks when he could have lived a decadent lifestyle on back of paypal payoff.
embarrassing, unassuming and conformist interview with a certain union-busting billionaire
Ai is the beginning of the end
he was born in South Africa and this man its very great
0:56 obviously reading a script. wait you mean this isn't a real interview?
