"What this advertising boycott is going to do is, it is going to kill the company [...] And the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company"

"You can have a job if you want to have it for personal pleasure. But AI could do everything."

"We will have something that is, for the first time smarter than the smartest human. It's hard to say exactly what that moment is, but there will come a point where no job is needed. You can have a job if you wanted to have a job for personal satisfaction. But the AI would be able to do everything. I don't know if that makes people comfortable or uncomfortable. If you wish for a magic genie, that gives you any wish you want, and there's no limit. You don't have those three wish limits nonsense, it's both good and bad. One of the challenges in the future will be how do we find meaning in life."

"I think that the whole notion of work from home is a bit like the fake Marie Antoinette quote, "Let them eat cake". It's not just a productivity thing, I think it’s morally wrong. [...] People should get off the goddamn moral high horse with the work-from-home bullshit."

"I'll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it."

"You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity."

"I'm sort of worried that hey, civilization, if we don't make enough people to at least sustain our numbers, perhaps increase a little bit, then civilization's going to crumble."

"Now you can still satisfy the limbic instinct but not procreate. So we haven't yet evolved to deal with that because this is all fairly recent in the last 50 years or so before birth control."

"There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye,"

"The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right-wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society... That is why I bought Twitter. I didn't do it because it would be easy. I didn't do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love ... That said, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences!"

"I see a path for Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined."

"I have spoken to Putin only once and that was about 18 months ago. The subject matter was space."

[...] You have to ask the question: do we want to be a space-flying civilisation and a multi-planet species or not?

"I still very much support Ukraine, but am convinced that massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to Ukraine and possibly the world."

"You are assuming that I wish to be popular. I don't care. I do care that millions of people may die needlessly for an essentially identical outcome. Russia is doing partial mobilization. They go to full war mobilization if Crimea is at risk. Death on both sides will be devastating. Russia has >3 times population of Ukraine, so victory for Ukraine is unlikely in total war. If you care about the people of Ukraine, seek peace."

"Let’s try this then: the will of the people who live in the Donbas & Crimea should decide whether they’re part of Russia or Ukraine"

"I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset. Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency."
