They’re not as capable, not nearly as capable as a Tesla, but there’s something really satisfying about the mechanical aspect of like feeling the steering and the grinding of the gears and the shifting. There’s something about those that’s extremely satisfying even though they’re not that competent. Like I have a 1993 Porsche 964. It’s like a lightweight. It’s not an RS America. It’s not very fast.

But if they keep doing it deliberately, then of course, they should be permanently suspended. I think forgiveness is just a very important principle.\nAnd so long as an account takes corrective action and does not do bad things repeatedly, they shouldn’t be suspended permanently.

"content": "Yoel, do you want to jump in on that? Speak to like how we do it right now?\nTotally. I mean, let’s kind of take a step back in the history of trust and safety stuff on platforms. For many years, the only thing that Twitter could do was delete tweets and ban accounts. That was our only tool for content moderation. And we did quite a bit of that. We deleted a bunch of tweets, and we banned a bunch of accounts. But one of the directions that we’re trying to build towards is having more tools in our toolbox to be able to reduce the harmful impacts of content, without always having to go to that step of a ban. And in the coming days and weeks, you’re going to see us start to introduce some of these new concepts and frameworks for content moderation. My focus and my team’s focus is how can we enable as much speech as we can, while preventing the potential harmful impacts of that speech. And as Elon said, sometimes the only way to mitigate harm is to ban somebody. But we think there’s a lot of other stuff that we can do, from warning messages to interstitials to reducing the reach of content that we haven’t fully explored in the past. And you’re going to see us move quickly to build some of these new tools, and to integrate that with our policy approach.",
"role": "user"
},
{
"content": "Exactly. It’s very well said, Yoel. I pretty much think we want a diversity of viewpoints within Twitter, you know, sort of (…) cabinet, if you will, representing a diversity of viewpoints. So, at the end of the day, the success will be if people like Twitter, they will use it, and they will use it more frequently, and we’ll get more people joining. And if advertisers and brands, if companies like Twitter, they will use it and they will buy advertising, and if they don’t, they won’t. The proof is in the pudding.\nSo I think it will be a good thing. We’re really going to agonize a lot about what is right, what should be done, what is a force for good in the long term? And sometimes we’ll be wrong about that and we’ll, you know, like I said, take corrective action. But really, I think we’ll see like if we’re doing a good job, we’ll see user growth be high, we’ll see advertising interest be strong, if we do a good job, and we will see the opposite if we don’t.",

And it’s where you have an intersection of sets of people who want to go because I think only a small percentage of humanity will want to go and can afford to go or get sponsorship in some manner. That intersection of sets, I think, needs to be a million people or something like that.\nAnd so it’s what can a million people afford or get sponsorship for, because I think governments will also pay for it, and people can take out loans. But I think at the point at which you say, okay, like, if moving to Mars costs are, for argument’s sake, $100,000, then I think, you know, almost anyone can work and save up and eventually have $100,000 and be able to go to Mars if they want. We want to make it available to anyone who wants to go.\nAnd it’s very important to emphasize that Mars, especially in the beginning, will not be luxurious. It will be dangerous, cramped, difficult, hard work. It’s kind of like that Shackleton ad for going to the Antarctic, which I think is actually not real, but it sounds real, and it’s cool.\nIt’s sort of like, the sales pitch for going to Mars is, “It’s dangerous, it’s cramped.

In fact, you can now put an entire book, post an entire book to the platform. You can do long form video content, so you can do up to four hour video segments.

And there’s nobody that old really anymore who can remember a time when the United States is not the world’s biggest economy. Now, we’re heading towards a situation where China is going to be probably having an economy two to three times the size of the United States. And so that’s just a different world.\nI do think there are a lot of people in the government in China who kind of grew up with China being a small economy and maybe who feel like China was pushed around a lot. But they haven’t fully appreciated the fact that China really is going to be the big kid on the block. And if you’re going to be the big kid on the block, then you can really be pretty chill about things, you know, you don’t have to worry about like, other countries are not really a threat to you if you’re by far the biggest kid on the block.\nAnd so I’d say that’s kind of an important mindset change. Hopefully, that, you know, trying to go through is just… just think, if you’re the biggest kid… like, how would you want the biggest kid on the block to behave? And now, if you are going to be the biggest kid on the block, then wouldn’t you want to behave like you would have wanted the biggest kid on the block to behave? I think that’s pretty important.\nI mean, overall, I think Tesla has a good relationship with China. I don’t mean to endorse everything that China does. Anyone I know wouldn’t say he endorsed everything the United States does. Or any country. But overall, I think we are headed to an interesting, a different world.

But, yes.\nSpeaker A:\nI noticed… I picked up two kinds of themes from what you were discussing. One was somewhat audacious goals. And the other was I don’t think I heard you use the word profit in anything that you spoke about. Each thing is pointed at, like re-invigorating an industry or bringing back space missions. How much of your success do you attribute to having really audacious goals or versus just not being focused on the short term, money coming in, or I don’t know, investors?",

"content": "Unfortunately, one does have to be focused on the short time and money coming in when creating a company because otherwise, the company will die. So I think that a lot of times people think creating a company is going to be fun. I would say it’s really not that fun. I mean, there are periods of fun. And there are periods where it’s just awful.\nAnd, particularly, if you’re the CEO of the company, you actually have a distillation of all the worst problems in the company. There’s no point in spending your time on things that are going right. So you’re only spending your time on things that are going wrong. And there are things that are going wrong that other people can’t take care of. So you have like the worst. You have a filter for the crappiest problems in the company. The most pernicious and painful problems. So I think you have to feel quite compelled to do it. And have a fairly high pain threshold.\nThere’s a friend of mine who says starting a company is like staring into the abyss and eating glass. And there’s some truth to that. The staring into the abyss part is that you’re going to be constantly facing the extermination of the company. Because most start-ups fail. It’s like 90%, it could be 99% of start-ups fail. So that’s the staring into the abyss part. You’re constantly saying, “Okay, if I don’t get this right, the company will die,” which can be quite stressful. And then the eating glass part is you’ve got to work on the problems that the company needs you to work on and not the problems you want to work on. And so you end up working on problems that you really wish you weren’t working on. And so that’s the eating glass part. And that goes on for a long time.\nSpeaker A:\nSo how do you keep your focus on the big picture when you’re constantly faced with, we could be out of business in a month?\nWell, it’s just a very small percentage of mental energy is on the big picture. Like, you know where you’re generally heading for, and the actual path is going to be some sort of zigzaggy thing in that direction. You’re trying not to deviate too far from the path that you want to be on, but you’re going to have to that to some degree. But I don’t want to diminish the… I think the profit motive is a good one if the rules of an industry are properly set up.\nThere’s nothing fundamentally wrong with profit. In fact, profit just means that people are paying you more for whatever you’re doing than you’re spending to create it. That’s a good thing. And if that’s not the case, then you’ll be out of business. And rightfully so. Because you’re not adding enough value. Now there are cases, of course, where people will do bad things in order to achieve profit, but that’s actually quite unusual. Because usually, the rules are set up mostly correctly.

So, my (…32:54) in the envelope calculations suggests that you need about 400 watt-hours per kilogram to have an aircraft with a decent range. This is where with a range where it’s comfortably over 1000 kilometers, including some reserves and, you know, emergency power and that kind of thing.\nAnd then, as you go above 400 watt-hours per kilogram, it gets really better in a nonlinear way because you spend so much of your energy getting to altitude; once you get to altitude, the air is thin, and your cruise power is quite low. If you go to like 450 watt-hours per kilogram, even though it’s, let’s say 460, or 480 watt-hours per kilogram, you will double the range. Even like a 20% increase, let’s say in energy density, we’ll double the range to at least 2000 kilometers, if not more.\nAnd we’re getting there progressively with improvements in the energy density, almost every year. This is just watt-hours per kilogram. And a lot of the improvements of energy density actually also improve the cost because you need less material because you’re able to put more energy in the same amount of material, which means less material per unit of energy. You know, where we are right now is a little over 300 watt-hours per kilogram, and some of the very expensive cells can do over 400 watt-hours per kilogram. But the high-volume cells, I think we’ll start to approach 400 watt-hours per kilogram as well.\nI would expect to see a significant transition to electric aircraft, starting initially with propeller planes because they’re generally more efficient per kilometer than jets.

That’s why it matters whether electric cars happen sooner or later. You know, we’re really playing a crazy game here with the atmosphere and the oceans.\nWe’re taking vast amounts of carbon from deep underground and putting this in the atmosphere. This is crazy. We should not do this. It’s very dangerous. So, we should accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. I mean, the bizarre thing is that, obviously, we’re going to run out of oil in the long term. You know, we’re going to — There’s only so much oil we can mine and burn. It’s totally logical. We must have a sustainable energy transport and energy infrastructure in the long term.\nSo, we know that’s the endpoint. We know that. So, why run this crazy experiment where we take trillions of tons of carbon from underground and put it in the atmosphere and oceans? This is an insane experiment. It’s the dumbest experiment in human history. Why are we doing this? It’s crazy.",

But if somebody risks losing even eight bucks, it’s too expensive to now have 100,000 fake accounts because they have to spend $800,000 a month as opposed to $800 a month.\nThen also, since we’re using payment authentication, we’re piggybacking on the authentication system as a payment system. And we’re also piggybacking on Apple’s authentication system, which is another layer of security. So the net effect will be over time that the verified users will pretty much always be at the top of comments and search, and you’ll have to scroll far to see the unverified users, which will be the bots and trolls and whatnot. This is sort of analogous to Google search. If you go to page eight of Google search, there will be a ton of scams and stuff, you know, call it page eight, page nine, something like that.
