Elon Musk - Things Most People Don't Know About China

How much potential is there for future conflict/war between with the United States and China? To buy my books, including Thomas Paine: A Lifetime of Radicalism, check out my online bookstore: davidbenner.square.site/

Imagine where the US could be if it didn’t piss away 14 trillion on wars and added debt!

If you can’t avoid it, you have to prepare for it! One of life’s lessons

Most people ignore the fact that Elon is from South Africa, and was there to see Mandela, Apartheid, and knows the current circumstances of SA. He can compare all that to the US, and other countries he does business with.

Loved the interview. The interviewer was the perfect interviewer, did not interrupt or talked over the interviewee; what a breath of fresh air! The topic, very interesting 🤓❤

My wife and I were there five years ago. We traveled across the country, and visited Tibet. What an amazing country, everywhere we went! Very clean. Very nice people.

Musk has a lot of haters b/c of his massive wealth, but this interview is an example of why no one should underestimate him. He is no idiot and his naysayers have always been proven wrong. I'm no fanboi, but mad respect for his intelligence, drive and accomplishments.

The more I see of Elon the more I like him. His manor is so easy going; easy to listen to

Having visited China 3 times for stays from 15 to 23 days, I must agree that the Chinese ambition and drive is unmatched in North America. I seen it first hand in factories from the Pearl delta to Shanghai and inland. They are not just working for this moment but also have the future generations progress in their sights. That said I am hearing about this undercurrent by a new generation that wants to do away with old values around work and persue leisure. Does that sound familiar?

In the US we have insane social issues like, "how many genders are there?" No chance China will out compete us there 😂

The more I listen to Elon, the more I like him.

Elon Musk made the same comment about "conspicuous acts of kindness" when he first commented about the Hamas attack. If they listened to him then, the world would be a safer place. But the mainstream press accused him of antisemitism and pressured him into taking back his words. It is statements like this that show his true intelligence and empathy. I hope more people will listen to him.

Elon is the Undisputed Genius of our time. I have no judgement I will not agree or disagree. All I'm saying is that nothing that he ever says has Not been very well thought out In mere moments, when most of us would take far longer to process the possible consequences of our words.

I don't know how he juggles between times to give interviews, read books, tweet, running several large companies, date women and know a little bit about everything enough to have opinions about it. Some may not like him, but he's pretty incredible in terms of time management. UPDATE16July24: I've seen several comments saying anyone can do any of this all at once. And yes, you're right! But the question is, did it make you become a billionaire doing so? Or run companies that launch rockets and build electric cars? 😂

the difference between this interview and the one with don the lemon is this has substance and d.l. 's was more like tabloid

I trust him much more than our politicians.

The book Musk refers to is actually entitled 'Destined for War.' I read the book and noticed that the cover review blurbs kept mentioning The Thucydides Trap as if it were the title of the book. I think what happened is that the original title was changed prior to publication (for the obvious reason that it is difficult to pronounce) and that the reviewers had received pre-pub copies that were under the original title. The implication I draw from this is that Musk was on the list of pre-pub reviewers.

China has a long history of survival 😊

I recently check the ancient poem of China, came across one of the most famous poet - Li Bai, who was born in AD 701, 1323 yers ago. His poem still very popular in Chinese literature and in high school texbook . His wording still quite easy to understnad even for ordinary Chinese. The culture continuity is amazing. How many US people can read Chinese? How many Chiese can read English? Tells why they never understand China at all.

If only more people were encouraged to sit and have in depth conversations.
