One on One with Elon Musk
 

Interesting to see what makes one of today's true visionaries tick and what "bumps in the night" scare him.

Love the part about "If aliens came to Earth and landed with parachutes in the middle of the ocean and needed to be picked up would you really feel threatened?" (paraphrasing) when talking about why using retrorockets to land.

Yeah, that was funny. What struck me the most was that he got so rattled by the AI question that he did not even hear the next question. It makes you wonder when a guy that has such vision for the future has such a fear of "that" vision for the future.

This just got pulled in the middle of me watching the last few minutes of it!

Youtube got pulled, here's MIT's stream haven't watched it yet but no idea how long it will stay up.
