Here's What We Know
After the purchase of Twitter, the American billionaire began to work more, in connection with which he was unable to personally attend Bali. Elon Musk spoke about the future of the projects in which he and his companies are involved.
In particular, the head of SpaceX believes that space tourism will become commonplace in the foreseeable future. Musk also does not exclude that humanity will be able to find extraterrestrial civilizations, which exist now or lived millions of years ago.
But the proposal to use Indonesia as a launching pad for SpaceX because of its proximity to the equator, the billionaire rejected. To be more precise, Elon Musk expressed the hope that civilian spaceports for launching rockets will appear in different places of our planet, allowing the inhabitants of the Earth to travel "to the other side of the world" at a speed 20 times faster than sound (343 m/s | 1 Mach).
Musk paid attention to another of his projects - underground tunnels to solve the problem of traffic jams, what The Boring Company is doing. He noted that projects like the Hyperloop are a more promising and safer solution, since they do not pose a danger in the form of cars falling on his head.
When Musk was asked about the difficulty of "disconnecting" supplies from China and the risks associated with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the businessman did not answer and referred to how busy he is right now.
