Rapid Fire Questions: Elon Musk
November 10, 2019
if you had an opportunity to sit down and interview anyone that is alive today who would you choose and why no i had i had to think long and hard about this right and and who i would actually want to sit down with um i think i'd want to sit down with elon musk that would be awesome i'd love to sit down with him and just play video games like i think that'd be cool right like uh i'm not i'm not uh i'm not a big weed guy but uh I'd smoke a blunt with him. I'd eat some mushrooms or acid with him. I think that would be like the best night ever. That and, you know, I'd love to talk to him about space and where SpaceX is going and what their plans are and how they're going to actually get to Mars and where he sees like the next 40 or 50 years of space exploration going. And I'd also like to ask him about Neuralink. I'd like to ask him if I could get on the list and be one of the first people to get Neuralink installed in the mind. into my brain so that'd be freaking cool it's either going to be one of those conversations or one of those nights with him where you come out of it really optimistic about the future or really really pessimistic about the existence and what's going to happen i think it'd be mind-blowing man just like listening him on joe rogan podcast was great i've listened to that a few times and then sometimes like watching videos of him when he's when he's on stage with other people and some of the faces he makes when they say weird dumb shit i think i think the guy's brilliant man Yeah. It's a once-in-a-lifetime sort of person, especially to live through his era. He basically has revolutionized the auto industry. It's not going to be long now until they're self-driving and electric. It's just crazy to live through this time. I guess there's always crazy inventors, right? It's always like Isaac Newton and Einstein, all these different people. Everyone would have lived through their time and be like, man, it's crazy that he did this and he changed this and did so much for us and like this is just our version it's just the 2019 version of you know the newtons and the einsteins yeah and like to talk to somebody who everyone said you can't do this or can't do that and he said here hold my beer right just say fuck it i'm gonna do it anyways and yeah right i i a i a an extremely odd person and so i like hanging out with fantastically weird people and he is just you can you can get weirder than that guy Yeah it about as weird as I come The best bit would be if you had the meeting with him and then everyone was like, oh, what'd you ask him? Like, oh, we just played video games. Didn't really get to any of the questions. What's your high score on Galaga? Let's go. Nice. Okay, so
