Great summary! I am extremely grateful for Elon’s efforts.
Thank you.
I thought I’d watch a little of that last night. Ended up watching all three hours of it.
Listened to all 3 hours. Well worth it!
In addition to the huge problems that Musk discussed regarding the astronomical DeepState corruption, there are two other problems which seriously prevent Trump, his administration, and succeeding administrations from cleaning up the federal government:
1. Getting people (including educating students) to recognize that what has occurred is not simply corruption, but treason against the United States of America.
2. The willingness and abililty to bring the traitors to trial and conviction, and the willingness and ability to carry out the sentence on those convicted. Part of this ability will be to deal with the traitorous Demonicrat and RINOcrat judges that have been placed in the federal court system to stop any attempt to bring Justice to the guilty (including themselves).
Ransom; Thank you for your summary! I really appreciate it!
Musk’s Mars timeline has accelerated dramatically. SpaceX will launch several Starships to Mars by the end of next year (November/December 2025).

Not sure about sending ships to Mars next year, since 15 refuelings are needed just to get to the moon. And the refueling concept for StarShip exists only on paper, and any attempt will be multiple StarShips Flights down the road. ( Refueling is needed because StarShip is massively heavy, not light composite as are other rockets ).

StarShip Flight 8 Monday March 3, 4 CT.
I may watch it, I may not. Thanks for the summary.
One thing. This
“Mars is our insurance policy.”
is lunacy. The only way humans can survive a Mars trip is with a major leap in propulsion technology and either transporting the hardware necessary for boring underground habitats or the ability to manufacture both the hardware and materials required for underground habitat construction.
Assuming, of course, that a source of fresh water is found and secured.
Beyond all that, it’s either fantasy or a suicide mission.
I respect what Musk is trying to do here on Earth, nothing more, besides innovation and vision (not lunacy...presuming that our government isn’t already in possession of such technology).
. Musk believes our future requires becoming multiplanetary.
For the first time in Earth’s 4.5 billion year history, we can extend consciousness beyond our home planet.
This window may not stay open long - civilization could collapse from war, natural disaster, or simply population decline.
Mars is our insurance policy.

The 20 million dead people are also on voter rolls. Along with how many millions of illegals. Once this is all cleaned up, the left will be proven to be about 25% of this country and every state will be red without voter fraud.
Musk wants to go to Mars. O’Neill wanted to build an orbiting space cylinder. Why not do both?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder
An O’Neill cylinder (also called an O’Neill colony, or Island Three) is a space settlement concept proposed by American physicist Gerard K. O’Neill in his 1976 book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space.
O’Neill proposed the colonization of space for the 21st century, using materials extracted from the Moon and later from asteroids.

An O’Neill cylinder would consist of two counter-rotating cylinders. The cylinders would rotate in opposite directions to cancel any gyroscopic effects that would otherwise make it difficult to keep them aimed toward the Sun.
Each would be 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) or 8.0 kilometers (5 mi) in diameter and 32 kilometers (20 mi) long, connected at each end by a rod via a bearing system. Their rotation would provide artificial gravity.
Musk is the Communists’ biggest fear.
“1. The scale of government waste is worse than anyone imagined.”
I doubt it is worse than I imagined. For decades I have been using 5% as the part of government that should exist - the remaining 95% being waste. Is Elon Musk saying it’s worse than that? If so, then I stand corrected - it’s worse than I imagined.
” The scale of government waste is worse than anyone imagined.”
Nope! We all knew.
That's what Musk found at Twitter. He solved the problem by firing half the people.
In the federal government, much more than half the people are doing nothing and can be fired.
This country is in a civil war (financially and ideologically). We cannot lose. We must not lose.
Good summary.
I hope he is right about Bondi—I really want to be the one who is wrong about her.
I know believe that the senior members of Congress are actual secret billionaires it you add up how much they own with their NGOs.
No way trillions of dollars disappear and you just under up with millionaires.
[ransomnote: “There’s a 56 second clip of Musk saying he thinks Patel and Bondi are great, but they just got there, and they are in a hostile environment. He thinks we should give them a little slack there and says it’s like you’re the captain of a ship and everyone around you was until now, your mortal enemy.]
I agree with this. Folks on here have been too quick to turn on AG Bondi. It’s been getting worse by the day.
They don’t take into account what Musk said here.
“Musk believes we have about 15 such opportunities (roughly 30 years) to establish a self-sufficient civilization on Mars before Earth potentially faces civilization collapse.”
Mankind has no practical (or even impractical, frankly) way to shield astronauts from the kind and quantity of flesh- and brain-cooking cosmic rays they will inevitably absorb on their way to Mars, on Mars, or on their way back from Mars.
Why are we entertaining this fantasy?
