"The fundamental fork in the road for human destiny is where Mars can continue to grow, even if supply from Earth stop coming for any reason. At that point, we've achieved civilizational resilience, where Mars can come to rescue of earth if something goes wrong" 一 Elon Musk

"It's about a man named Elon Musk, and he's one of the greatest business leaders and innovators the world has ever produced. He stepped forward to put his very great talents into the service of our nation, and we appreciate it. And just want to say that Elon has worked tirelessly, helping lead the most sweeping and consequential government reform program in generations. And you know the kinds of things that he's he's found, and his people have found, he's brought a group of very smart people in, and they found things that are pretty unbelievable. I have to say that the numbers that we're talking about are substantial, but they're going to be very much more substantial with time, because many of the things that we're working on right now, we're going to have to remember Elon as we find them, but the numbers could double and triple, because many, many things, we don't want to go out with them until we're sure. With the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon delivered a colossal change in the old ways of doing business in Washington. Doge has installed geniuses with an engineering mindset and unbelievably talented people and computers. I actually asked Elon one time, what's their primary thing, and they have a lot of primary things, all having to do with being smart. But he said the thing that they're really the best that is working with computers so that they can't be outsmarted by somebody that's not so honest, that happens to also be good with computers, but not as good as these people, but the mindset of the senior ranks of every federal department, and it's really changed, and with Elon's guidance they're helping to detect fraud slash waste and modernize broken and outdated systems." 一 President Trump
