At 3:00 a.m. I was reading the S1. What were you doing? So, first off, I have some notes here. The first 14 pages of
00:00:06
the S1 are pictures of rockets. AI is mentioned 1,200 times in the S1. There are 277 pages of the perspectus. For
00:00:14
context, it's longer than The Great Gatsby and The Catch and the Rye. And some direct quotes from the filing.
00:00:19
These are direct quotes. We do not want humans to have the same fate as dinosaurs. Well, thank God you're here,
00:00:25
Elon. >> Would you mind if I ate my protein bar where you do this? cuz I'm hungry and I
00:00:29
also am fascinated. Keep going. >> For decades, a reality where humanity travels between the planets and the
00:00:34
stars has felt tantalizingly close but still locked in the pages and screens of science fiction. The sun contains
00:00:41
approximately 99.8% of the solar systems energy. And as a result, we believe it is the only truly scalable solution to
00:00:48
terrestrial energy constraints in the age of AI. Oh, Jesus [ __ ] Christ. All right, hold on. We believe the next
00:00:54
paradigm shift for humanity is the creation of a resilient perpetually expanding space fairing civilization
00:01:00
ultimately preparing us to cardv type 2 status defined in the filing itself as a
00:01:06
civilization that harnesses the full energy output of the sun. Remember we work its mission was to elevate the
00:01:12
world's consciousness. That sounded grounded. You just read this thing and you start thinking, okay, this feels a
00:01:20
little bit, you know, Iawasa. It's a lot.
