How much longer until this guy becomes Howard Hughes?

He's transcended Hughes in some ways. He's planning a mission to Mars in 2020-something.
No word on whether he is receiving regular blood transfusions from Mormons yet. We'll know at that point that he has become Fully Hughes.
The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future.

He actually didn't go quite far enough. The updated version is "I am aware of my thinking, therefore I am". When you become aware and realize that you are the consciousness watching your thoughts and emotions and not the thoughts and emotions themselves, then you will have answered the eternal question " Who Am I?" You are the one who is asking the question. The one you are looking for is the one who has been looking all along.

Elon Musk is one of the few people on this planet that can honesty say he might change the entire world.
That's fricking insane. I'd imagine to have that much drive and genius and power and thought careening through your brain, you inevitably have thoughts and theories far outside the grasp of normal minds.

I love how Elon Musk says shite and the media just blows their wad. He made an electronic payment system, meh. An electric car company that still doesn't make any money, meh. And a rocket that lands back on earth, me- ok that one is cool.
Dude just says the word hyperloop and everyone acts like he built and designed the thing already. Their is definitely an Elon Musk media bubble. He's not saying anything anyone else hasn't already said.

If video games become as real as our reality, and we experience it, is it not real? Same with our dreams, if we can wake up and become lucid in our dreams, is that reality in that moment not real? What is real?
I guess he is saying aliens in a more advanced society are playing us as a game?
If one reads N.ear D.eath E.xperiences, or some drug experiences where the user leaves their body and travels to other places, like on DMT, high doses of shrooms/LSD, you start to question reality. Not that it isn't real, but what is the real depth of our reality. It is much more than what we can just see and touch, that much I know for a fact.

Many retarded people aren't aware of it so how can you know you aren't retarded?

So we're willing to believe that we live in a giant computer simulation but are unwilling to even entertain the possibility of a supernatural creator? Okay. Sounds rational.

Paypal has had a lot to do with shaping the way we currently use the internet and he's running two of the most innovative companies in the world at the same time.
Our space program would be dead in the water without the research SpaceX is doing and that tech will one day allow common people to take trips to space as it will make it more affordable to do so.
Tesla will one day be more than just an electric car company. Their battery technology has a very real possibility to change the way solar is stored and consumed which could cause shifts in world markets. SolarCity, which he founded, is furthering the research.
His hyperloop is a multi-billion dollar project that could also have very wide implications on the way we travel by connecting the West and East coast in a matter of minutes vs hours. The guy is willing to give this tech to anyone that can afford to build it.
He also started open source research into AI last year.
The reason the media eats up what he says, because unlike most, he doesn't just talk about things and leave it at that. He actually talks about his vision to improve things then goes about making them a reality. Or you can just try to continue to dismiss him by boiling his accomplishments down to their simplest form.

I'm pretty sure he had just polished off a half oz of blow before answering that question.

No shite. What a misinformed and naive comment by barry.

I read the thread through and was thinking exactly the same thing. I would bet that 80%+ of these posters lauding his genius and giving the idea some measure of validity are the same who scoff at the mention of intelligent design by a supernatural creator. LOL!

damn interesting viewpoint...seems our concept of "God" is not gone at all, but has just changed a bit.

You forgot your pompoms baw
Tesla is still a bit of a shitshow of a company financially, and he was on point for making the comment about the media circus the surrounds him. He still won't put too much of a dent in internal combustion engine use globally in our relevant lifetimes, and btw, the hyperloop has no practical application for transcontinental travel, which Musk has made clear. You kind of just threw out a bunch of platitudes and glowing embellishments, a feedback loop that has kind of surrounded his cult of personality. Impressive guy to say the least, kind of a douche, but not a god.
Again, what was said is nothing new. In fact, LucasP posted a video on this probably a year ago.

He's not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens.
