One issue with terraforming Mars is that its a dead planet, lacks a magnetosphere, plate tectonics and its core is at a stand still. Any atmosphere generated through terraforming would be destroyed by radiation from space and the sun, as a magnetosphere protects against that.

[jamesmichaelwalker]

Yes! AI will accelerate so many things.

[emerica]

Why send humans if Optimus will be able to do what a human can ?

[tiaay]

This dude may publicly be the “richest” man in the world, yet he’s like the antonym of a prophet. Many people have lost money listening to him. And he’s gone 🦇💩 crazy the past few months!

[TheHeartandtheEggplant]

When he says that in 2026ish AI can do anything any one human can do, and 2029ish all the things all humans can do, is he saying, that all humans could retire, in principle, then?

I always wanted to have kids. Worked all my life. My life is a story of how Americans suffer.

Where is AGI and ASI? We need UBI, Flying Cars, AI buildings, medicine anywhere, Foods anywhere, immortality Moon colony, Space colony, Mars Colony? We want our lives go to bars, go to beach, make more families, spend more time with my families, we need UBI ASAP. No more wars...WORLD GOVERNMENTS MAKE THIS ASAP. WE MUST DISCUSS IT EVERYDAY. IT MUST PRIORITIZE. UN WHERE ARE YOU? AI is the solution not wars.

He loves the idea of robots dominating the world and excited at the future of inevitable human extinction. Massive job loss. Completely replaced by robots and downloading his consciousness into a robot and live forever.

[thinking]

He is fantastic at making up random "facts" and "predictions" on the spot. The best!

[shilohtrowbridge]

Lets be clear that elons wifes have been doing their part what he did took 2 minutes

[mattyrjackson]

Coming from the man who said we would be on Mars by now

[devendra_singh_]

Bought xAI66x after watching your video, super excited! 💰

[deeplearningpartnership]

He's said Tesla would be fully self-driving ten years ago. Who's gonna believe anything that comes out of this guy's mouth?

[juliusbrown]

Elon is so exceptional! He is so brave! I cant believe he will copy his complete DNA profile onto his prototype Optimus bot and send his copy of himself on his Starship maiden voyage to Mars! A true visionary pioneer!

[bpg]

Terminator was a film about future - and I can see we are approaching in fast speed this vision

[MrTom-klhy]

He may, then again, he may not - but one thing is absolutely certain, his wealth depends on selling the belief he will.

[NosanaKanana]

Maybe neuralink should have a password

[danjohnston]

Meanwhile,
The Philadelphia DA has some concerns

[Michael_X]

Modern media is bizarre because we all know that we cant actually say what we actually think. Its kinda gross

[ioanacostache]

There is nothing positive here. There is nothing to congratulate him for. We are over with those robots. Turn them off! We don't need them! Period.
