Elon Musk, why are you still working? You are worth $184B

Check out the whole interview here. Our Interview with Elon Musk

[buggydclown]

His meaning to life is the search for the meaning of life

[mikecollins]

He doesn't work to pay his bills anymore. He works to answer the questions that are most important to him. A great position to be in.

[AbdulLatif-okzy]

It's my first comment on YouTube ever.

It is so satisfying to hear one of richest humans on the planet to show aspirations that I (and I presume most of us) once held dear but had to set aside in favor of earning a living (again like most of us) and thus become an average person. It is gratifying to know that there are people who have the resources to not worry about earning a living and who are dedicated to exploring our existence, the universe and the meaning of life, rather than succumbing to the defeatist mindset of retreating into the "internal world" and similar distractions. I really wish that Musk and other humans like him carry on our quest for meaning and do not waste their time in distractions (of the sort we often see them wasting time in).

[kodram]

As much as I admire and definitely encourage this way of thinking, I also believe that it's easy to get lost in an endless search for something that you will never be able to find an answer to and miss out on being present and enjoying whatever you have at the moment, including the bliss of obliviousness.

[AlexMartinez-vnkh]

He’s not rich because his goal was to become rich. He’s rich because he has a purpose having money is just a tool for him to fulfill that purpose.

Wise, Passion, Searching most in life!Respect😍🙏

[CrystalNova_HI]

Technically, understanding is very important in our lives.

[renscience]

I retired 5 years ago. Few millions are available. Saw the world, flew around in private jets. Had the finest things in life. I’m going back to work. Not because I need the money. I need the challenge, schedule, and deadlines. Money has nothing to do with it.

[Antonocon]

"Then I started reading the philosophers. Be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager, it's definitely not going to help with your depression." 😂😂😂

[baseguitar]

Elon Musk has mentioned that he cannot turn off his brain, that ideas are basically flooding his brain 24/7. He is gifted, a savant. To retire and get comfortable would actually be torture for him because he would feel like he is wasting his time on earth with the rare gift he has.

[christinehallfeldt]

Wow. Loved hearing that. I'm an infp personality and I grew up fascinated by the stars and engorged on sci fi films and ideas. His vision is one I share also. Good stuff 😊

[excelrobot]

Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy: that book changed my life. It was super funny but beyond that it just blew my mind and made me question everything. Or as Elon puts it, it makes you question what the questions should be, which turns out to be more important than mere answers.

[thomastessier]

It is not about money, he has a passion for something. Good for him.

[krissnovak]

I totally agree with the part where he says were. We don't ask the right questions. There's a wealth of knowledge out there that we could obtain, but a lot of times, we were just not asking the right questions.

[OneTwoMark]

When I was a bit younger I’d probably be all for this, to know and explore the unknown. These days I realise the more you know, the more boring it is. What are we going to do when we know everything? It’d be almost depressing. Somethings are best left unknown. Perhaps until we have better minds that are equipped to process it all more healthily.

[linuxmill]

deeply admire his drive, intelligence and courage

[mfalmog]

Most people wont realize and less will appreciate that he’s answered this question numerous times with the same answer and the humility to not tell reporter to ask a different question.

[nikhilvr]

As a teenager i also had an existential crisis....so many questions what is the meaning, the journey to searching was full of lots of hitting and failing, but the intensity had never come down, but one fine day i was sitting and listening to something and then that day in a very fortunate moment All my questions fell off for never to come back....that day i lost it all....that day i lost it all...that day i lost it all...

[louisharvey]

I already know the meaning of life. I have done for ages, just to love everyone and everything no matter what they do to you.

[silentblackhole]

I agree with him, but to add, in a simple way, it’s about the journey, not the destination. Also, be kind to others as you would want others to be kind to you on this journey.

Hope you’re having a great day ❤
