Interesting. He consulted other multiverse Elons before answering and saw every possible outcome.

[dragonballsuper]

I really thought I had pressed pause by accident because there was a long moment of silence but he was just taking his time to answer the question lol

[Bobbyjonesyrrr]

This is incredible seeing two sentient robots communicating.

"I don't need a source of strength. Quitting is not in my nature." Elon is a true machine.

[chefdan]

I love how Elon takes the time to think out his answer even if it gives somewhat of an uncomfortable silence. Too many people start talking immediately and fumble their way through an answer and end up not saying what they actually want to say.

[triscuito]

More and more I think podcasts are one of the greatest blessings of our time. Interesting people can talk as long and as thoughtfully as they want about interesting things and everybody can learn something, or at least look at things in a new way.

[jayfi]

A pure savage mindset from a man that went all in on betting on himself and became the wealthiest man alive true phenom and history will quote this man on how to solve humanities problems “ FUCK THAT, WE’LL GET IT DONE”

[Burgmannn]

Me, stuffing a handfull of cheetos in my mouth while listening to this: "That's the spirit, Elon!"

[NijeBitno]

- "It's impossible, Cooper"
- "No, it's necessary"

[Kamala--President]

Elon's source of strength - from his answer in this session - is simply his desire to turn his vision into reality. In other words, when the vision is strong enough, it pulls you forward.

[optimize.]

This is the first time I’m seeing Elon’s high-stress, low-sleep lifestyle reflected in the aging of his face. I hope he also remembers to take care of himself, so we can enjoy his genius for decades more to come.

"I don't need a source of strength. And I don't care about optimism or pessimism. F*ck that we're gonna get it done." - Elon Musk 2021

From a Henry Ford biographer: “When Henry Ford decided to produce his famous V-8 motor, he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and instructed his engineers to produce a design for the engine. The design was placed on paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece.

Ford replied, '' Produce it anyway.” They did.

[CurtisMoe]

His pauses before answering are so respectable.
We all could do more of that instead of beong so quick to say our response.

[StudioELW]

Dude I love how Elon just sits an ponders someone’s question to him almost for an uncomfortable amount of time. Cool to see his gears turning to be able to answer as precise and intelligently as possible.

50 cent in 2003 "Get rich or die tryin"
Elon musk in 2021 "Get it done or die tryin"

[mikesavatar]

I love how Elon sincerely considered the question, and his answer, even though the question didn't fit his experience.

[TheChessNeck]

This is one of he most badass and inspirational quotes for me. Some days you are down, some days you are positive, either day you should get out there and get things done.

[thomaschristopherwhite]

Man Elon taking the time to go on these podcast is unbelievable. Especially knowing how busy he is. He's really taking the time to make sure his thoughts aren't interpreted in bullshit ways. I truly believe he's using his billionaire powers to better mankind. Regardless of what I or you or anybody may think about his methods I truly believe the guy's intentions are pure.

[zlozlozlo]

I love how Elon took full 12 seconds to compute the answer. Not his most life-like moment :D But then look who he's talking to...
