Elon Musk

Mohammad Al Gergawi: In life, we've seen, within this part of the world, great people, like Al-Khawarizmi, who invented algorithm. Globally, Newton, Henry Ford, the Wright brother, Albert Einstein, and Elon Musk. It seem you are in rush.

You wanna go to places that nobody been. You are reinventing a certain industry, from the rocket industry with SpaceX to the car industry with Tesla. What's your mission in life?

Why you do whatever you do? Elon Musk: Sure. Well, first of all, thank you for having me. It's an honor to be here.

And we're having a really great time, with my kids in Dubai. It's really been fantastic. I'd really encourage anyone who hasn't been to visit.

What a, what a great city. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. And in terms of the motivations, I guess the there's sort of a, kind of a long version of the explanation, but essentially, the.

When I was a kid, I was wondering kind of what's the meaning of life. Like, why are we here? What's it all about?

And I came to the conclusion that, what really matters is trying to understand the right questions to ask. And the more that we can increase the scope and scale of, human consciousness, the better we are able to ask these questions. And so I think that there's certain things that are necessary to ensure that the future is good.

And some of those things are in the long term, having long-term sustainable transport and sustainable energy generation, and to be a space-faring civilization and for humanity to be out there among the stars and be a multi-planetary, species. I mean, I think the.

Being a multi-planet species and being out there among the stars is important for, the long-term survival of humanity, and that's one reason, kind of like life insurance for life collectively, life as we know it. But then the part that I find personally most motivating is that it creates a sense of adventure, and it makes people excited about the future.
