Elon Musk : The future we're building — and boring


Elon Musk at TED2017  (transcript)
The future we're building — and boring
Summary
When Elon Musk would be as old as Donald Trump, he must be a president of Mars.

How many companies does Elon Musk want to run?
Just the number won't be important. He only does what he wants to do.

He started The Boring Company to create tunnels. In the tunnels, your car can run at 200 kilometers an hour. The point is using your car but creating new subways to alleviate traffic congestion. His thoughts seem to be that continuing creating cars is important for Americans, economics and his company Tesla, but energy problems are important, thus Tesla offers electric cars and another company is going to create a house which has a solar roof to capture the solar energy for cars and your life. It addresses safe hands - off cars to decrease car accidents.
Cars should not fly because it's dangerous and you can imagine that cars smash into tiny pieces on your head.

After all, the key to autonomy is how much better autonomy needs to be that a person before you can rely on it.

What SpaceX changed is to reuse rocket and to think that rockets can take people and baggage into orbit. Thinking to build a city on Mars with a million people on it additionally, in our lifetime is important it's to have a future that is inspiring and appealing.
This is a future Elon Musk is building and he is a man. Human dreams must be like that and it might be the thing that we might forget recently.

My previous summary on June 2017
The future we're building — and boring
Summary
Why are you boring?
I thought that Elon Musk is bored or he is a boring person, but there are no reasons he is bored or his life is boring. In his previous TED, he and his companies which are Tesla, SpaceX and SolarCity always face exciting things.
However, his new company called The Boring Company seems to have a little problem. However, no one believes it a problem for him. It’s like a hobby for him.

The Boring Company is digging a hole under LA to create big tunnels where electric cars can run 200 kilometers an hour. His thoughts are first energy problem, electric cars are created, and next, there are cost, traffic jams and time problems there. Alleviating congestion leads to saving time, running a lot of cars and reducing costs.
Then, I also thought that it'll be very dangerous when flying cars are allowed in our sky. Tunnels can avoid sky’s accident and tie-in with Hyperloop.
Tesla works about a self-driving car and a long-range semi truck both run by electricity.

Although it'll take for about 15 years, having solar roofs will be usual in your cities. Now, a hundred gigawatt hours of batteries a year is produced.
SolarCity is really needed for the next generation.

SpaceX designed an outrageous rocket which is like a 49-story skyscraper.
Then I think that there is a big difference between we optimistically do something and ambitiously do it.

There is an inspiring and appealing future there and we can look at the future from the standpoint of probabilities. We use energy, it means we will run out, however, we have to help the advent of sustainable energy.

Everyone likes his today's last words: "I just only do it and work a lot. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad".
We can have more big dreams.
