Maye Musk on Elon's father

"I was the science nerd at high school. I didn't really get many dates. I don't know if men, boys, rather, were scared of me or whatever, but I didn't have many dates, so I wouldn't date anybody who wasn't, if he wasn't as good at math and science as I was, and no one was.

Although, my ex-husband was. He was better than me at math and science, and I hate to admit that, but that probably did help towards Elon being a genius."

Elon Musk explains why communism fails every single time it is tried and reveals the only way its promise could ever actually be fulfilled

"The problem with communism is it's universal low income. It's not that everyone gets elevated, it's that everyone gets oppressed except for a very small minority of politicians who live a life of luxury. That's what's happening every time it's been done."

"But if everyone gets anything they want, it will be achieved via capitalism. Because fate is an irony maximizer."

"Elon Musk is a genius by all accounts. His commitment and his work, like I asked him one time about how does he learn. And the amount of research, the amount of study that he does is unheard of, but he'll always say the most important thing is imagination.



You can learn anything that you want to learn. You can study all these things that you have in a book. If you don't have the imagination to take it to another level, it doesn't mean anything. I sat down and spoke with Elon for a couple hours. It was really, really a joy."
