Saw the video a few days back.
Pretty good.
The next Starlink Satelite will ROCK, with a huge improvement in capacity, nut it needs Starship to launch it. That should be next year.
Plus those spectrums he just bought for $17 Billion from EchoStar to allow cell phones to use Starlink directly without a satellite dish.
Very impressive.

There is only one version 2 Starship and booster remaining before version 3 Starship. Starship 3 will be a complete redesign with Raptor 3 engines, and which will not be without hiccups. V3 will do 100tons to LEO.

There was no mention of Starship refueling, nor of the lunar program or Mars program in any respect.

Grockipedia may be coming - like Wikipedia without the falsehood, half-truths, and including any missing info.

AI hardware scales logarithmically ... 10X more compute [ AI data centers like Colossus ] will double the intelligence [ from 100 IQ to 200 IQ ]. AI will continue to scale to the power of the Sun, and then to the power of the Galaxy ... Kardashev scale 2 and 3 civilizations [ we are not even to a 1 ].

Musk says he thinks by next year AI will be as smart as any human ever and by 2030, AI will be smarter than the sum of all humans. This, as the human population continues to decline and human intelligence with it. Human intelligence continues to scale up as the population increases, but with population declines, it is decreasing. “The actions of the West are indistinguishable from suicide.”

As long as people are optimistic about the future things will progress upward [ cancelling Apollo took Hope from people worldwide ]. Having a child is an act of optimism about the future. If a person or a civilization is not optimistic about the future, it leads to suicide by the individual or civilization [ huge applause here ]. “If you take away religion, you actually get something worse than what was there before. Replacing religion with dystopian de facto religions that are very self-destructive.”

“What we need is a revival of religion or a coherent philosophy that people can get excited about ... for [ Musk ] its a philosophy of curiosity. To know what’s going on [ in the universe ] we mush have an increase in the scope and scale of consciousness. We must grow and expand humanity, like going to other planets and to the stars, meeting other civilizations, to even ask the questions we should ask about the Universe”
