God he is revolting. Within the first few minutes it's fascist racialisation of production, China is successful because of the Chinese people being "inherently" good at production for thousands of years. Fuck offfff.

Anyway I agree on one point. Musk says somewhere in the middle he expects China to catch up in chipmaking within 2-3 years. That sounds right to me. They're very very close now and it follows the same prediction timelines this site has been making since like 6 years ago.

The rest of the video is just blah blah ai blah blah robots blah blah neuralink bandwidth of a human blah blah colonise other planets to stop the species from dying blah. Same shit we've seen him say before.

    Muskrat is well aware that he would've been nothing without China, because that's where a large chunk of his cars are manufactured and sold. It's the reason why you always see him say positive things about China on social media, unlike his fellow chud buddies. Same goes for CEOs of other major US businesses who don't want to lose access to the biggest consumer market in the world.

    Hm, a skull-shaped castle even. Someone tell Mega Man to keep tabs on this guy.

    This interview was hilarious to watch because his answers to almost every question, from AI safety to FALGSC "age of abundance" to what places one should visit in China (uh, Shanghai, Beijing, Terracota Army) are so ill-prepared and shallow, he clearly isn't the genius his wealth and status would suggest. The rapid-fire of disconnected questions and lack of pushback by the interviewer accidentally gives the effect of a kid forced to talked about details of a book they haven't read my-hero biden-the-thing sit-back-and-enjoy

    Apparently the original video had distracting background music and "after viewer feedback" this was removed on Youtube, but the CGTN website still has the original.
