Elon Musk is no stranger to making outrageous statements.

But a three-hour marathon of bold claims from him is still quite watchable:

We are already in the singularity. Next year will feel like living in the future—more so than any previous year.
The three key words for ensuring AI safety: truth, curiosity, beauty.
The essence of future currency is essentially watts.
Don’t worry about saving for retirement anymore—either we won’t be here, or it won’t matter whether you save or not.

The conversation took place at Tesla’s massive 11.5 million square foot Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, where the Cybertruck and Model Y production lines are located, with an additional 8 million square feet planned for the Optimus robot production line in the future.

Participants included Elon Musk, XPRIZE Foundation founder Peter Diamandis, and Link Ventures founder Dave Blundin.
