SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on the next giant leap for mankind

As the founder, CEO and lead designer at SpaceX, a private company that makes rockets and spacecraft, Elon Musk envisions a time when his reusable rockets will bring people to the moon and Mars. He's focused on humans becoming a "multi-planet species," and on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, he speaks with Jeffrey Kluger (editor-at-large at Time magazine, and the co-author of "Apollo 13") about his vision for the future.

I'm just waiting for the moment when Elon says:
"Yes, I'm Iron Man"

[AfterschoolPsychology]

I'd be happy sweeping floors on Space X.

[AndrejGobec]

When you have a CEO talking about a better future instead of bigger profits - no wonder he is an idol to so many!

150 years from now some people might say, I live in the times of Elon Musk

[odjoz]

Elon: “What gets you excited about being alive”

Me: “My next meal .. “

[MrBahuba]

dude's already a living legend. Just the fact that a private company was built from scratch and is now building rockets on a large scale is just so surreal. I can't wait for the future

[CoolNinja]

Elon Musk is such an inspiration to me. Makes me emotional because I've been depressed recently, and SpaceX alongside space travel in general reminds me there's still hope not only for me, but for humanity.

[trulyinfamous]

Elon May not be perfect, nobody can be, but I'll be damned if he's not exactly what we need in our modern age.

[Dr.SariHamoud]

Elon Musk seems like one of the few men on Earth who really want to use their money to advance humanity and not just make more billions, which they could NEVER take to the grave.

Imagine the world without elon...no private space industries, no star link, no hyper loop, no pay pal, bigger companies wouldn't invest in electric cars this earlier..we would be at least two decades late in human race.

He risked every dime from PayPal and gambled on spacex and Tesla. Meanwhile, most guys would find a way to minimize taxes and live off of their dividends for the rest of their lives. Gotta hand it to the guy.

[InfiltrateIndustries]

"A million tons"
"And that's some serious payload"
(...)
"Yeah"

[BryceLovesTech]

He is why I'm buying a Tesla next

[TeachAManToAngle]

Nice seeing a visionary like Musk being celebrated instead of being denigrated. Thank you CBS!

[Channel-lvhl]

He’s not Tony Stark, He’s not the second Werner Von Braun, He’s the First Elon Musk and Our Iron Man

[sruler]

Love this guy - dream big kids - dream big 🤔

[chris]

Meanwhile, in North Korea, Kim Jong Un is hating not being rocket man any more

[Mel_ilm]

Brilliant guy. You too can be part of his vision. Buy Tesla.

[thelonesomewanderer]

damn elon makes me feel excited for the future every time I hear him speak

[raibard]

The real ‘Next Giant Leap’ is when humanity learns to value humanity above all else. This is the core value that unlocks our potential in every way.
