Musk's interview today was really heartfelt.
Everything for Mars
Why Musk doesn't want the United States to dominate, because if the United States dominates, everything is made by the United States, it will be a huge Soviet Union. If everything is made by yourself, the innovation efficiency will definitely not be good. So you have to let Germany and Japan develop and compete together so as not to delay his going to Mars
He said
Americans work with eight people commanding one person
Japanese work with one person commanding eight people
But when Americans can't compete with the Japanese, they will open fire and knock the Japanese down.
