[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=9) Um... I guess misery loves company, unless that company is Elon's. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=16) Maybe you don't like Elon's politics. I get it. [0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=19) But do you like the fact that he's giving quadriplegics their abilities back with Neuralink telepathy? [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=25) How about helping the blind see with Blindsight? [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=28) And did you hear that he's giving every child in America one of his personal SpaceX shares for a total of over 10 billion dollars? [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=38) No, you probably didn't, because everything is political and tribal now. [0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=44) Look, I know I'm biased, but let me glaze for a bit. [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=48) If you're hating on Elon, you're hating on humanity. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=52) The man single-handedly moved millions of people off of fossil fuels by popularizing the electric car. [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=59) Now, maybe you have one of those, "I bought this before he was crazy," bumper stickers, so your friends know that you're a good person. [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=65) But it's pretty easy to sell a car, and Teslas hold value. [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=68) So your values are only bumper sticker deep, while the value that he's giving you, you drive down the street. [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=76) Your words condemn him, but your actions condone him. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=79) Now the man has built a flying car, and people are asking, "Why?" [1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=84) Well, why not? Why not build the future that we've been promised since we were kids? [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=90) Yeah, he is a trillionaire, because he's created trillions of dollars worth of products that make our lives better every day. [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=100) And the fact that he's the richest man alive, not some hedge fund guy, is good for humanity. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=105) Humanity, which is the focus of everything he does. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=109) He made SpaceX to free us from single-planet extinction risk. [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=112) He made Tesla to get us off of fossil fuels. [1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=115) He made Neuralink to restore lost abilities and give us new ones. [1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=118) He made OpenAI so that Google wouldn't have a monopoly on AI. [2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=122) He bought Twitter so that there can be a place for free speech, even from people who hate him. [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=129) And you think this is about money? Now, strap in. [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=135) Whether you like it or not, Elon Musk is the most influential person to walk this planet since Jesus Christ. [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=144) He's helping the blind see, the deaf hear, and the mute speak. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=149) Maybe you think that there are other problems he should be solving, but can we just be grateful that he's solving what he is? [2:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=157) Besides, we have nearly 9 billion people on team humanity. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/j5cYlzEiLThn/en/a-defense-of-elon-musk-tesla-spacex-and-neuralink?t=162) So if you want the other problems to get solved, how about you do it?
