Host Goes Off Script & Elon Musk Gives an Unexpectedly Deep Answer
What was said
"I was useful in the furtherance of civilization, that I helped move civilization forward. Added to the store of knowledge and capability. That I helped understand the universe."
In an interview with Laura Trump from approximately a year ago, Elon Musk defined his desired legacy as being useful in advancing human civilization, adding to knowledge and capability, and helping humanity understand the universe. The host contrasts this aspiration with political critics who attack Musk's wealth despite his contributions to rocket technology, electric vehicles, and other innovations.
