Elon Musk: "Last year we, in an effort to help the rest of industry and just sort of, be a good neighbor, we open-sourced all of our patents.
So any company in China or elsewhere can use our patents to create electric vehicles."

Elon Musk: “Nothing any of my companies have done has been to stifle competition. In fact, we've done the opposite,
At Tesla, we have open-sourced our patents. Anyone can use our patents for free.
At SpaceX, we don't use patents. Once in a while, we'll file a patent just so some patent troll doesn't cause trouble. But we've done nothing anti-competitive.”

Elon Musk: "There are really only three hard things for humanoid robots: the real-world intelligence, the hand, and scale manufacturing.
And I haven't seen any even demo robots that have a great hand, But Optimus does have that.
We had to design custom actuators, basically custom-designed motors, gears, power electronics, controls, sensors—everything had to be designed from physics first principles. There is no supply chain for this.”

Elon Musk: “You know, if you query ChatGPT - it’s pretty woke. People did experiments like, ‘Write a poem praising Donald Trump,’ and it won’t. But you ask, ‘Write a poem praising Joe Biden,’ and it will”
“It’s programmed to be that way”

Elon Musk: "The Cybertruck is alien technology
Because it shouldn't be possible to be that big and that fast
It's like an elephant that runs like a cheetah - 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds, it's pretty enormous, with four-wheel steering
Pretty sick"

Elon Musk: "I think if we operate with extreme urgency, then we have a chance of making life multi-planetary. It’s still just a chance, not for sure. If we don’t act with extreme urgency, that chance is probably zero
The rate of innovation is not going to be constant; it’s either going to increase or it’s going to slow down. If you look at American access to space with a crew, we were able to go to the moon in ’69. Then with the Space Shuttle, we could only go to low Earth orbit. Then the Space Shuttle retired, and for almost a decade, America had no access to space with people
So this is a pretty bad trend, it's trending to zero. We need a very strong trend in the other direction in order to have any chance whatsoever of making life multiplanetary. So that's the reason for the extreme sense of urgency."

Elon Musk: "We’re in the final stages of completion of Optimus 3, which is really going to be by far the most advanced robot in the world, nothing's even close.
In fact, I haven’t even sent any demos of robots that are as good as Optimus 3, frankly.
We’ll start production on Optimus 3 this summer, but very slow at first. And then probably reach high-volume production around summer next year.
We’ll have Optimus 4 design complete by next year like, we will try to release a new robot design every year, an improved robot design every year."
