      (instrumental music) Exactly. Um-

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Just every morning.

   6. EMElon Musk0:14

      ... I wonder what Jeff Bezos is doing?

   7. NANarrator0:17

      (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      He's doing some, definitely doing some testosterone.

   9. EMElon Musk0:19

      Yeah, right. (laughs)

   10. NANarrator0:21

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:21

       He looks jacked. He looks jacked, right?

   12. EMElon Musk0:23

       Yeah. But he's a, like-

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       Quick.

   14. EMElon Musk0:25

       ... qu- quick.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       Quick. (laughs)

   16. EMElon Musk0:27

       Like, well, I mean- (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       Yeah. Yeah, he got jacked quick.

   18. EMElon Musk0:29

       At age, like, 50-

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       Yeah. (laughs)

   20. EMElon Musk0:30

       At 50, at age 59, in less than a year, he, he went from pencil neck geek to, uh, looking like a mini- like, like the Rock.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       Yeah, like a l- little miniature alpha fella.

   22. EMElon Musk0:40

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       Yeah.

   24. EMElon Musk0:41

       Like, like, his neck got bigger than his head.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       Yeah, he got big quick.

   26. EMElon Musk0:43

       And then, and then, but then, like, his earlier pictures, his neck's, like, a noodle.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       I support this activity.

   28. EMElon Musk0:48

       (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       I would like to see him going in this direction.

   30. EMElon Musk0:49

       Which is fine, and his voice dropped, like, two octaves.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. And there's nothing…

   1. EMElon Musk15:00

      like that. There've been many such impacts through the course of history.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:03

      Yeah. And there's nothing we can do about it right now.

   3. EMElon Musk15:06

      Yeah. There was one that, um, hits... There was... Went ahead and hit Siberia and destroyed, I think, um, a few hundred square miles.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      Oh, that's the Tunguska.

   5. EMElon Musk15:15

      Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:16

      That's the one from the 1920s, right?

   7. EMElon Musk15:18

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:18

      Yeah. That's the one that coincides with that meteor, that, uh, comet storm that we go through every June and every November that they think is responsible for that Younger Dryas impact.

   9. EMElon Musk15:29

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       Yeah. All that shit's crazy. Um, thank you, before we go any further, for letting us have a tour of SpaceX.

   11. EMElon Musk15:38

       You're welcome.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:38

       And letting us be there for the rocket launch.

   13. EMElon Musk15:40

       Sure.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       One of the absolute coolest things I've ever seen in my life. And we, we've... We were s- We thought it was only like... I thought it was a half a mile. Jamie's like it was a mile away. Turned out, it's almost two miles away.

   15. EMElon Musk15:53

       Yeah, yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       And you feel it in your chest.

   17. EMElon Musk15:55

       Yeah, it's very intense.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       You have to wear earplugs, and you feel it in your chest, and it's two miles away.

   19. EMElon Musk15:59

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:00

       It was fucking amazing.

   21. EMElon Musk16:02

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:02

       And then to go with you up into the command center and to watch all the Starlink satellites with all the different cameras and all in real time-

   23. EMElon Musk16:10

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:11

       ... as it made its way all the way to Australia. How many minutes? Like, 35, 40 minutes?

   25. EMElon Musk16:15

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:16

       Wild. Watch it touch down in Australia.

   27. EMElon Musk16:19

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:20

       Fucking crazy. It was amazing.

   29. EMElon Musk16:22

       Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah, yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:23

       Absolutely amazing.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Probably, yeah. Well, resources.…

   1. EMElon Musk30:00

      program with that, you know?

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      Probably, yeah. Well, resources.

   3. EMElon Musk30:02

      'Cause it's like if, if you, if you could go to the moon with... And, and safely, uh, I think we'd get a lot of people, uh, would, would, would pay for that, you know?

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      Oh, 100%.

   5. EMElon Musk30:13

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      After the first year, after nobody died for like a year.

   7. EMElon Musk30:16

      Yeah, yeah. Just to make sure (laughs) . Exactly.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:17

      (laughs) It's-

   9. EMElon Musk30:17

      Are you gonna come back, you know?

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       Because like that submarine, they, they had a bunch of successful launches in that private submarine before it imploded-

   11. EMElon Musk30:25

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       ... and killed everybody.

   13. EMElon Musk30:26

       ... that was not a good design, obviously.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       It was a very bad design.

   15. EMElon Musk30:28

       Terrible design.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       And the engineer said it would not withstand the pressure of those depths.

   17. EMElon Musk30:33

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:33

       Like, there was a lot of whistleblowers in that company too.

   19. EMElon Musk30:36

       Yeah. Um, they, they, they made that out of, uh, carbon fiber, which is, it doesn't make any sense because, um, you actually need, you need to be dense to go down. Um, in any case, just make it out of steel. If you make it out of, uh, sort of just, you know, a, a big steel casting, that's, that's, you'll, you'll be safe and nothing will ha-

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Why would they make it out of carbon fiber then? Is it cheaper?

   21. EMElon Musk30:58

       Um, I think they think carbon fiber sounds cool or something, but, um-

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:00

       It does sound cool.

   23. EMElon Musk31:01

       It, it sounds cool, but, um, uh, because it's such, it's such low density, you actually, actually have to add extra mass to go down because it's l- it's low density. But if you just have a giant, you know, hollow ball bearing, uh, you're gonna be fine. Um-

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:15

       Speaking of carbon fiber, did you check out my unplugged Tesla out there?

   25. EMElon Musk31:18

       Yeah, it's cool.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:19

       Pretty sick, right?

   27. EMElon Musk31:20

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:20

       Yeah. Have you guys ever thought about doing something like that? Like having like an AMG division of Tesla where you do like custom stuff?

   29. EMElon Musk31:28

       Um, I think it's best to le- leave that to the custom shops. Uh, you know, we're, we're, we're, like, like, Tesla's focus is autonomous cars, um, you know, building kind of futuristic autonomous cars. Um, so, um, li- like, I think it's, we, we want the future to look like the future. Um, so the, uh, d- like, did you see like s- our designs for like the sort of the robotic bus?

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:58

       No.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   The stunning thing about…

   1. EMElon Musk45:00

      see the results of that mind virus on the streets of San Francisco, uh, where, where, you know, downtown San Francisco looks like a zombie apocalypse. Um, you know, it's, it's bad. Um, so we don't want the whole world to be a zombie apocalypse. Um, but that's, uh, that, that, that, that was essentially a... They were pushing this very negative, nihilistic, untrue worldview on the world, and it was causing a lot of damage. Um, so-

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:30

      The stunning thing about it is how few people course corrected. A bu- a bunch of people woke up and realized what was going on, people that were all on board with, like, woke ideology in maybe 2015 or '16-

   3. EMElon Musk45:41

      Mm-hmm.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:41

      ... and then, and then eventually, it comes to affect them, or they see it in their workplace, or they see it... And they're like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, we gotta stop this," a bunch of people did-

   5. EMElon Musk45:48

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:48

      ... but a lot of people never course corrected.

   7. EMElon Musk45:52

      Yeah, um, a lot of peo- a lot of people didn't course correct, but, um, but it, it's gone directionally in... It's gone dir- it's, it's directionally correct, like y- you mentioned, like the, like the massive spike in, in kids identifying as trans and then that, that sp- that spike dropping, um, after the, the Twitter acquisition. I think that, um, s- simply allowing the truth to be told, um, was th- just shedding sun... Sunlight is the best disinfectant, as they say, and, uh, just allowing sunlight, um, kills the virus.

   8. JRJoe Rogan46:24

      And it also changed the benchmark for all the other platforms.

   9. EMElon Musk46:28

      Yes.

   10. JRJoe Rogan46:29

       You can't just openly censor people on all the other platforms-

   11. EMElon Musk46:32

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan46:32

       ... when X is available. So, everybody else had to... So, like, Facebook announced-

   13. EMElon Musk46:36

       Yes.

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:36

       ... they were changing. YouTube announced they were changing their policies.

   15. EMElon Musk46:39

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:40

       And they were kind of forced to.

   17. EMElon Musk46:41

       Yeah, and then I...

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:41

       And then Blue Sky doubled down. (laughs)

   19. EMElon Musk46:44

       Well, li- like, the problem is, like, if-

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:46

       (laughs)

   21. EMElon Musk46:47

       ... uh, essentially, the woke mind virus re- retreated to Woke, to, to Blue Sky.

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:51

       Yeah.

   23. EMElon Musk46:52

       Um, but it's w- where they're just a self-reinforcing lunatic asylum.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:56

       They're all just triple masked.

   25. EMElon Musk46:58

       (laughs) Yeah, uh, totally.

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:59

       I, I was, I was watching this in exchange on, uh, Blue Sky, where someone said that they're just trying to be zen about something-

   27. EMElon Musk47:06

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan47:06

       ... and then someone, a moderator immediately chimed in and said, "Uh, why don't you try to stop being racist against Asians," by saying something zen, by saying, "I'm trying to be zen about something."

   29. EMElon Musk47:18

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan47:18

       They were accusing that person of being racist towards Asians.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:13:53

   Right. …

   1. EMElon Musk1:00:00

      the robe unless you do-

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      Right.

   3. EMElon Musk1:00:01

      ... you know.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      Gotta go to school to get the robe.

   5. EMElon Musk1:00:03

      You gotta know what the law is.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      Right.

   7. EMElon Musk1:00:05

      And then you're gonna need to make decisions in accordance with the law.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      Based on the stuff-

   9. EMElon Musk1:00:09

      Not feelings.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

       ... that you already know 'cause you read it, 'cause you went to school for it.

   11. EMElon Musk1:00:12

       Yes.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

       Not you just got appointed.

   13. EMElon Musk1:00:13

       Not vibes.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

       (laughs)

   15. EMElon Musk1:00:15

       (laughs) You, you, you, you can't be just vibing as a judge.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

       Vibing as a left wing judge. So, you got crazy left wing DA's-

   17. EMElon Musk1:00:22

       Yes.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:23

       ... like, I wish they didn't say left wing, 'cause the left wing used to be normal. It's-

   19. EMElon Musk1:00:28

       Y- yeah. L- left wing just meant, like, like, yeah, you're, like-

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

       Open-minded.

   21. EMElon Musk1:00:31

       In fact, the left used to be, like, pro, pro-free speech.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

       Yeah.

   23. EMElon Musk1:00:34

       And now they're against it.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

       It used to be like-

   25. EMElon Musk1:00:36

       Um...

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       ... pro-gay rights, pro-women's right to choose-

   27. EMElon Musk1:00:38

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

       ... pro-minorities, pro, you know...

   29. EMElon Musk1:00:42

       Like... Yeah. Like, 20 years ago, I don't know, it, it used to be, like, left would be, like, the, the, the party of empathy or, like, you know, caring and being nice and that kinda thing.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:00:51

       Yeah.
