Elon Musk and Peter Diamandis LIVE on $100M XPRIZE Carbon Removal

energy of 20 million dollars to extract co2 from the chimney of a natural gas and coal plant and convert it into a more profitable product in the cost of extraction and we were only the two teams that won. creating concrete and, of course, they're improving and scaling, so you know, it's instead of just coming out of the plants right now and thanks to Wyoming, uh, for their support, we can now do it on a global level, okay? Um, but what kind of tonnage are they capable of? Actually I don't know the answer but Nandan from India says can a 17 year old register?

Since I have the resources and the ideas, yes, I think I am safe. It is not age level there is no age limit where in fact student teams are going to be important um oli from London says that technology is a part of the solution to climate change, but how do you change behavior and habits? What do you think about that? I think changing people's behavior. and habits are hard or basically if you're trying to convince people to make their

live

s more miserable, this is a hard argument to win, so with Tesla, when we created Tesla, we were like, "Okay, look "We have to make a car." that's exciting and fun and it looks good and then people don't have to do it if you're trying to convince people that to save the environment you have to wear a hair shirt and make life miserable and your food is going to be terrible that's it.

It's an uphill battle, okay, so at Tesla we think we're just going to make electric cars that are better than gasoline cars, faster, yes, lower cost per million, they look beautiful, they're faster than them, too You know, great. advanced technology, they're more fun, you don't have to go to gas stations, which are unpleasant, and you know, but you have to solve long distance problems with superchargers, so I think it's actually what you know, it's going to be. much more acceptable to people if it's uh if any solution is de

carbon

izing it doesn't worsen their quality of life yeah, one last question here from uh from Godfrey in New York um I know Godfrey has als and uh it's loving his fully autonomous model okay, what I mean, it's not completely moralistic, yes, I know, but it's getting there, it's getting there, it's getting there and by that, I mean disabled people, it's an extraordinary technology that's coming and he is. a brilliant, brilliant human being, say hello

elon

, a huge fan of your work, enormously and eternally grateful for being a powerful source of inspiration to me, could you share who and what inspires you and drives you to be so incredibly productive ? a superhuman level then who and what?

Well, I don't know, I think it was. I was always like a crazy child. I guess I was just really curious about the world and how did we get to be here? the meaning of life and all that and I always had a very intense desire to understand things and learn um yeah, I mean, I had kind of an existential crisis, I guess when I was 11 or 12 or something, trying to figure out what It's about you. I know and we finally came to the conclusion that we don't really know the answer, but if we increase the scope and scale of civilization, then we have a much better chance of understanding the meaning of life and why we are here or even what the right questions to ask, therefore we must strive to expand the scope and scale of consciousness to better understand the questions we must ask about the answer that is the universe, yes, well, on behalf of the human race, on behalf of all those who observe Elim. thank you for everything you do, I know you worked 24/7 and you were driven by passion, so thank you, yes, just, grateful for what you have done and thank you for supporting and launching this award x, has incredible meaning and hopefully now.
