00:00:00
At 3:00 a.m. I was reading the S1. What
00:00:02
were you doing? So, first off, I have
00:00:04
some notes here. The first 14 pages of
00:00:06
the S1 are pictures of rockets. AI is
00:00:10
mentioned 1,200 times in the S1. There
00:00:12
are 277 pages of the perspectus. For
00:00:14
context, it's longer than The Great
00:00:16
Gatsby and The Catch and the Rye. And
00:00:18
some direct quotes from the filing.
00:00:19
These are direct quotes. We do not want
00:00:22
humans to have the same fate as
00:00:23
dinosaurs. Well, thank God you're here,
00:00:25
Elon.
00:00:26
>> Would you mind if I ate my protein bar
00:00:28
where you do this? cuz I'm hungry and I
00:00:29
also am fascinated. Keep going.
00:00:31
>> For decades, a reality where humanity
00:00:33
travels between the planets and the
00:00:34
stars has felt tantalizingly close but
00:00:37
still locked in the pages and screens of
00:00:39
science fiction. The sun contains
00:00:41
approximately 99.8% of the solar systems
00:00:44
energy. And as a result, we believe it
00:00:46
is the only truly scalable solution to
00:00:48
terrestrial energy constraints in the
00:00:50
age of AI. Oh, Jesus [ __ ] Christ. All
00:00:53
right, hold on. We believe the next
00:00:54
paradigm shift for humanity is the
00:00:56
creation of a resilient perpetually
00:00:58
expanding space fairing civilization
00:01:00
ultimately preparing us to cardv type 2
00:01:03
status defined in the filing itself as a
00:01:06
civilization that harnesses the full
00:01:07
energy output of the sun. Remember we
00:01:10
work its mission was to elevate the
00:01:12
world's consciousness. That sounded
00:01:14
grounded. You just read this thing and
00:01:16
you start thinking, okay, this feels a
00:01:20
little bit, you know, Iawasa. It's a
00:01:23
lot.
