My first guest is the man who made electric cars a thing, and is currently working on perfecting reusable rockets, space travel, connecting the human brain directly to computers,
2
connecting cities with electromagnetic bullet trains, the Starlink satellite system that's so important to the war in Ukraine, and then on Tuesday...
3
He's gonna work on that tunnel thing on traffic.
4
He also tweets a lot.
5
Elon Musk, ladies and gentlemen.
6
Look at you.
7
Wow.
8
Did I get the full order of things that you do in a day there?
9
When I was reading there, I left out the tunnel thing at the end.
10
Do you work on all these things?
11
Do you do all these things every day?
12
Do you work on all of them in a single day?
13
No. No. But I do have a long work day.
14
Um, Yeah.
15
So-- I work a lot.
16
Well, I'm so thrilled you're here because, you know, we do a show where we talk about what changes happen in the world
17
and but we just talk there's a very few people who actually make change happen.
18
You are one of those people, probably.
19
You know.
20
I just want to say I love this audience.
21
Well, you're a likable guy.
22
Thanks.
23
I mean, they attack you a lot.
24
They do.
25
- - And you seem to laugh it off, which I think is fantastic.
26
- Yeah.
27
- I love it that you have a sense of humor, because a guy as important as you, who makes changes, could use your powers for evil and not good.
28
The fact that...
29
Yeah, absolutely.
30
You could.
31
I would, of course, I would, yeah, never use them for evil.
32
No, I know.
33
But, but the way I know that is because you have a sense of humor.
34
Yeah, you really do.
35
I do.
36
Yeah, you like laughing.
37
You like to be funny.
38
I kill me.
39
- Right.
40
No, as opposed to somebody like Zuckerberg, who I'm not even sure is a real boy.
41
- Yeah.
42
Um.
43
Yeah, I actually love comedy and and I show you know like I Many years ago, I actually was in the audience here and watched your show.
44
Oh, really?
45
So I've been a long -time admirer of your show.
46
Oh, well, thank you.
47
- I...
48
- Let me get back to you being a genius.
49
Okay.
50
But that has always been my view, is that I was a history major, and when you study history, what you realize is that You know, there's the great man theory,
51
and they talk about kings and princes and queens and presidents.
52
It's really the people in tech who changed the world.
53
They're the people who deal the cards, whether it's fire or electricity,
54
for good or bad, or the cotton gin or the iPhone or the atom bomb.
55
Those are the cards, and the rest of us just play it.
56
Would you agree with that assessment?
57
I think technology is the thing that causes these big step changes in civilization.
58
So obviously you've got things like say, the Gutenberg Press, before which-- - Right.
59
- It was very difficult to get books.
60
- Yes.
61
- They were very rare.
62
- Even if you had a thirst for knowledge, you really couldn't do anything about it.
63
because there were very few books to read. So.
64
and the internet is something beyond the good word press, I think.
65
You know, it's a When I first saw the internet, coming into being in a way that the general public could use it.
66
It felt like the Humanity as a whole was uh, developing a nervous system.
67
So previously the way the information would travel would be by osmosis, one person to another or one person calling another.
68
Um, But uh...
69
The access to information is very limited.
70
Now, with the Internet, It's like having a nervous system.
71
It's like any part of humanity has access to almost all the information of humanity.
72
Hmm.
73
Like you could be in the middle of the Amazon jungle, with say a Starlink terminal and have access to more information than the president did in 1980.
74
Right.
75
Well, anything on your phone.
76
Everything.
77
-Is...
78
-Yeah.
79
Okay.
80
So you are one of these dealers.
81
These people who deal the cards in civil society.
82
I deal some memes, too.
83
Yes, you do.
84
Some, uh...
85
So I think a lot of people thought when you bought Twitter that this is kind of an outlier.
86
Like, how does this, what doesn't fit with these other things you're doing?
87
I never thought that.
88
Because I think you're dealing with big civilizational issues and problems, and I was right on your page.
89
I think Twitter is one of them.
90
I mean, you have talked about this woke mind virus.
91
Yes in really apocalyptic terms.
92
- Yeah.
93
- I don't-- You should explain why you don't think it's hyperbole, to say things like it's pushing civilization towards suicide, First of all, what is the woke mind virus?
94
And if we don't deal with this, nothing else can get done.
95
Tell me why you think that.
96
Yeah, so I think we need to be very cautious about anything that is anti -meritocratic.
97
and anything that is that results in the suppression of free speech.
98
So, You know, those are two of the aspects of the work my virus that I think are very dangerous.
99
is that it's often anti -murocratic.
100
You can't question things.
101
Even the questioning is bad.
102
So, uh, You know, you know, another way to almost anonymous would be cancel culture.
103
And obviously people have tried to cancel you many times.
104
- Many times.
105
- Yeah, I mean you're-- - Every week.
106
- Yeah.
107
- From left and right, I've had it from both sides.
108
Yeah, and it's interesting.
109
People, you and I are both like in that little group of people.
110
Maybe it's a bigger group.
111
Yeah, who we who are called conservative who haven't really changed
112
i don't see him think of you as a conservative definitely Yeah, like I at least think of myself as a moderate, you know, so I I mean,
113
At least like I've spent a massive amount of my life energy building sustainable energy you know,
114
electric vehicles and batteries and solar and stuff to help save the environment.
115
That's not a.. you know...
116
It's not exactly far right.
117
No, you drew that diagram...
118
You drew that diagram once where you're here.
119
I related to that.
120
And, like, the world has changed.
121
I feel the same way.
122
I feel like very often wokeness is not building on liberalism.
123
It's the opposite of liberalism.
124
I can mention it.
125
Yes, exactly.
126
Many examples where it's the opposite, including free speech.
127
Free speech is actually extremely important.
128
And it's bizarre that we've come to this point where...
129
Like, free speech used to be a left or liberal value.
130
And and and yet we see from you know the in quotes left.
131
a desire to actually censor.
132
And That seems crazy.
133
I mean, I think we should be extremely concerned about anything that uh, it undermines the First Amendment.
134
There's a reason for the First Amendment.
135
The first amendment is because people came from countries where they could not speak freely.
136
and where Seeing certain things would get you thrown into prison.
137
And they were like, "We don't want that here." And by the way, in many parts of the world, including possible that people might think are relatively similar to the United States.
138
The speech laws are Draconian.
139
England is quite different.
140
I won't name any countries. But, um...
141
- England, why are we protecting them?
142
They have no First Amendment.
143
- - It's very easy to prove libel in England.
144
- Whereas here it's almost...
145
- I love England, but...
146
- Yeah, you too.
147
But I wouldn't want to say the wrong thing. Or...
148
- Yes.
149
- You could be sued easier.
150
I mean, there are laws...
151
In France, I think, if you deny the Holocaust, which I think is abhorrent, but I also think it should be part of free speech.
152
you can be thrown into jail.
153
Okay, so this...
154
I really can't emphasize this enough.
155
We must...
156
we must protect free speech.
157
And free speech only matters.. it's only relevant when it's someone you don't like saying something you don't like because Obviously, a speech that you like is easy.
158
So it's a and it's The thing about censorship is that, for those who advocated, just remember, at some point, that will be turned on you.
159
Woke mind virus, how did it start?
160
Was it bats?
161
Was it an escape from a lab?
162
I mean, what is your assessment of what?
163
Because it's fairly recent.
164
Why did -- why -- how did it start and why?
165
I was trying to figure out where it's coming from.
166
I think it's actually been a long time brewing in that it's...
167
uh, I think it's been going on for a while.
168
IT IS NOT A LITTLE BIT.
169
Um, The amount of indoctrination that's happening in schools and universities is, I think, far beyond what parents realize.
170
and I only came to realize this somewhat late,
171
The experience that we had in high school and college is not the experience that that kids today are having.
172
and hasn't been for I don't know.
173
10 years, maybe 20 years.
174
So Are parents themselves also a big part of the problem?
175
They-- Well, I suppose in some cases that parents...
176
But I think like the...
177
Parents are just generally not aware of what their kids are being taught or what they're not being taught.
178
- But they're letting the kids think that they're equal.
179
- Well, I mean, yeah, let me give you an example that a family told me, which his daughters go to college in, oh, sorry, go to high school in the Bay Area.
180
And And he was asking them, like, well, so who are the you know, who are the first few presidents of the United States?
181
They could name Washington.
182
And I said, well, what do you know about him?
183
Well, he was a slave owner.
184
What else?
185
Exactly nothing right like okay.
186
That's maybe you should know more than that and You know.
187
Yeah.
188
Yeah.
189
And that is the woke mind virus.
190
Exactly.
191
Yeah.
192
Exactly.
193
It's like, you know, the, Uh, You know, slavery is obviously a horrific institution,
194
but we should still know more about George Washington than that.
195
And by the way, one that was practiced all over the world forever since the beginning of time by every race, including people of color.
196
I'm sorry to tell you that.
197
It's huge in the Bible.
198
Absolutely.
199
The Bible loves it.
200
Really?
201
Yes.
202
They're quite strict about, like, you know, don't take someone else to slave and that kind of thing.
203
Right, but no one ever says just don't do it.
204
They don't.
205
They don't.
206
They don't.
207
At no point.
208
- What does it say slavery is bad in the Bible?
209
- No, no. - They did not condemn it at all.
210
so so it's um but twitter is not doing bad right i mean i saw today that Tucker Carlson recently fired.
211
You were just on his show and he lost his job, so I hope this isn't an old-- - Well, yeah.
212
- Yeah, I-- - But, uh-- - Hopefully, uh-- - What are you, the angel of death?
213
- Yeah, no, exactly.
214
I'm not the Typhoid Mary of talk shows.
215
- - But his-- - For some reason, people just get fired after.
216
His rant yesterday, or today, on Twitter I think it was yesterday or something.
217
It did more than every Cable news monologue or something like that.
218
Is that right?
219
I Well, Twitter has a tremendous audience.
220
So there's 250 million people that spend an average of half an hour a day on Twitter.
221
So it's about 120.
222
to 130 million user hours per day, and it's been increasing.
223
So Um, the-- we didn't do anything.
224
To be clear, we did nothing special whatsoever.
225
I learned about it afterwards, that he had posted something on Twitter.
226
-Mm.
227
-Um, so it's just that Twitter has a lot of people's attention.
228
And it tends to be the people that are
229
uh that read read a lot or are interested in current events um and um generally are pretty influential.
230
But most of the people who tweet are the same people, right?
231
I mean, the people who actually tweet are supposed to just reading it.
232
Yeah.
233
I feel like that's-- I've read this many times-- that that's a very small percentage of the people on Twitter.
234
And it seems like-- see, here's why I don't tweet anymore.
235
Because you may be the mayor of Tweet Town now.
236
Yeah.
237
The mayor of Tweet Town.
238
I'm getting a cap with that.
239
And I'm glad-- and I like it that the mayor likes my jokes.
240
But the reason I don't do it anymore is because the mob of Mean Girls is still there.
241
-And that has not changed.
242
-I know.
243
Like, it's too easy to get canceled.
244
And I don't even know what pisses them off.
245
They're so nuts, these kids.
246
I feel like I'm walking on a roof with a blindfold.
247
I could fall off any time.
248
That was the most innocuous thing.
249
But it's like, you know, I said George Washington was a great president.
250
Oh, how dare you?
251
Yeah.
252
Yeah, exactly.
253
I had some flaws, but overall, uh, instrumental in the situation of the United States.
254
So, um, well, you have to say, like, what does canceled mean?
255
You know, uh, I mean, it's, yes, people attack on Twitter.
256
That's one thing, but frankly, that's just going to increase engagement.
257
So I would just ignore it.
258
Well, that's easy for you because they can't take your job away or any of your main ten jobs, but they could take mine.
259
And they did once, by the way.
260
-A scale affair.
261
-You know, I was, like, literally cancelled.
262
- -Yeah, I mean, like, when the show is cancelled...
263
-It's like...
264
But, okay, so you were in Congress, uh, at Congress the other day, talking with Chuck Schumer about AI.
265
I'm very interested in this, 'cause you've been on this for years.
266
I've always thought you were right about this.
267
I think you're right about almost everything.
268
I mean, let's have more babies and raise them on Mars.
269
I don't get that, but OK.
270
Well, I just think we should be cautious about civilizational decline with-- and we have plummeting birth rates most places, yeah.
271
Right.
272
And also plummeting resources.
273
No, no, no, resources will be fine.
274
but they're not fine now.
275
Look, I'm not suggesting complacency.
276
We do want to move to a sustainable energy economy as quickly as possible, but we're not in any danger of resource collapse.
277
But lots of people don't have enough food or water.
278
Water.
279
We will run out of water.
280
They're running out of sand.
281
No, Earth is 70 % water by surface area.
282
But you can't drink that.
283
Desalination is absurdly cheap.
284
Why don't we do it then?
285
- We do, it is done.
286
- You have a lot of free time.
287
- It is done, there is a lot of desalination done.
288
- Okay, but-- - There's plenty of water.
289
This is not an issue, I wanna be clear.
290
- All right, so, but let's talk about AI, because like you were on this tip 10 years ago when nobody else was, and I always thought he's right.
291
Why, because I've seen too many movies, everything that happens in movies, that happens in real life.
292
And, you know, if you make things that are way smarter than you, Why wouldn't they become your overlords?
293
So what did you say to Chuck Schumer?
294
And what are we doing about this?
295
I know you want to pause in AI because it in the just in the last six months with chat GPT, which came from a company you started.
296
Yes.
297
- - Um...
298
Well, I mean, a friend of mine has a sort of modification of Occam's razor, you know, instead of the simplest thing being the most likely, like, the most ironic outcome is the most likely.
299
- Right.
300
- Right.
301
Yes. So, um...
302
With respect to AI, I just think we should be -- we should have some sort of regulatory oversight.
303
Uh, you know, for anything that is a danger to the public, if it's sort of aircraft, cars, food and drug and whatnot, we've got some regulatory oversight,
304
like a referee, essentially, and making sure that Companies don't cut corners.
305
So I think that since if one if one agrees that AI is a potential risk to the public,
306
then there should be some regulatory body that oversees
307
what companies are doing so that they don't cut corners and potentially do something very dangerous.
308
That's-- yeah.
309
And if we don't do something-- lay out a scenario for me in the next two, five, 10 years.
310
If nothing is done, because we're very good at doing nothing, especially when it comes in the way of profit, and this is a big profit engine now for companies,
311
they're going to want to just compete with each other.
312
I mean, there are people like Ray Kurzweil who doesn't think it's a problem at all.
313
Actually, Ray Kurzweil's prediction for artificial superintelligence is 2029.
314
He's not far wrong.
315
Right.
316
But he doesn't think it's a problem, whereas people like you and Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking think it's a problem.
317
Um, Yeah, it depends.
318
If some people want to live forever
319
or for a much longer period of time and they see AI as the only way
320
digital super intelligence is as the only thing
321
that can figure out how to get them to live forever I think
322
because well isn't that category and So he would prefer to have AI.
323
artificial general intelligence than not because it can figure out longevity. So are you optimistic?
324
I read in your Rolling Stone article back in the day
325
that you said you can never be happy unless you're in love.
326
Well, you can be half happy, I suppose.
327
I mean, there's two things, I think.
328
To be most happy, if you're happy in love and you love your work, then you'll be, I think, fully happy if you Lack either of those two.
329
If you have one of those two things, we have happy You know, roughly.
330
I feel like the theme in a lot of your works that connect all these different things is connecting.
331
Like you want to connect things.
332
You know, you want to connect on the Hyperloop, and you want to connect this to Mars, and Even Twitter.
333
- Or a Connect Four.
334
- You want...
335
- I love that game.
336
- What?
337
- Connect Four, you know, we could...
338
Sorry, this is a comedy, right, you know?
339
- Gotta throw some comedy in there.
340
- Okay.
341
- But it's hard for you because I've, When you bought Twitter, you're kind of doing what you did when you took over, when you started Tesla.
342
You lived at the factory, right?
343
I feel like that's your...
344
That's your pattern.
345
You get into this thing, and then you've got to live at the factory to make it work.
346
You've been back in-- you moved to Texas, then you went back up to San Francisco because of Twitter.
347
I was living in the library of Twitter for a while.
348
um yes but it's i think things are reasonably stabilized right now it was
349
just on the fast track to bankruptcy after that position.
350
So I had to take drastic action.
351
There wasn't any choice.
352
- I'm just saying it's hard for a woman.
353
- Yeah.
354
- To like when the guy lives at the factory.
355
Yes.
356
- - Yes, it is.
357
- That could be a stumbling block.
358
- Um, yes.
359
Uh, but, um...
360
- No, no. Overall with, you know, my concern with Twitter was to...
361
it is somewhat of the digital town square and it's important that there be both the reality and perception of of trust uh,
362
for a wide range of viewpoints.
363
and There was a lot of censorship going on.
364
And we've we sort of uncovered a lot of
365
that with the Twitter files including a lot of government driven censorship which It's it's I mean,
366
it seems that that's got to be a constitutional violation, what was going on there.
367
Um, So, and I can, since I'm like an avid Twitter user, I could detect that like something's not right here.
368
And so that's really why. at the deposition.
369
It wasn't because I thought this was an easy way to make money or something like that.
370
Man, this is being mayor of Twitter town, Tweet Town or whatever, is definitely like there's a lot of arrows pointed at you, flying at you. Of course.
371
But you seem to handle that okay.
372
I hope you do, because...
373
Yeah.
374
Look, I mean, geniuses are going to be a little quirky sometimes, but your heart is always in the right place.
375
You were trying to fix this world.
376
And look, I could talk to you forever.
377
We can't today.
378
I'd love to get high with you.
379
I know a great place to go.
380
But I can't tell you how much I appreciate you.
381
I know you have a lot of choices and places you can go.
382
Thank you, Elon Musk, ladies and gentlemen.
383
All right, I'll see you soon, Elon.

Зачем практиковать разговорную речь с этим видео?

Практика разговорной речи с видео, таким как интервью с Элон Маском, предоставляет уникальную возможность погрузиться в реальные диалоги на английском языке. Во время просмотра вы не только слышите, как произносятся слова, но и видите, как строится речь в контексте живого общения. Такой подход помогает вам улучшить произношение английского, развивая чувство ритма и интонации, что является ключевым элементом языка. Используя методы shadowspeak и shadow speech, вы сможете точно повторять фразы, исполняя их в нужном эмоциональном контексте.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В данном интервью слушатели могут заметить несколько ключевых грамматических конструкций и выражений, которые стоит обсудить:

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
