People have called you the real Tony Stark.
Okay, you've got your finger in so many different advanced technologies.
As I said, SpaceX, Tesla.
Now you've got SolarCity and the solar pack that people put in their houses.
Are you sincerely trying to save the world?
Well, I'm trying to do good things, yeah.
I mean, saving the world is not, I mean...
But you're trying to do good things and you're a billionaire.
I mean...
Yeah.
That seems a little bit like either superhero or super villain.
You have to choose one.
I'm trying to do useful things.
I mean...
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So let's talk about the Tesla.
I have a Tesla.
Yeah.
Okay, and I love it.
I love it.
You've got a new thing that you think is going...
People are going to want for their Tesla.
Can I...
Jim, can we show the footage of this?
I think it's called...
This thing is the power arm.
That is an extremely...
It's a snakebot charger.
Yeah, it's a snake charger that automatically plugs into your car when you get home.
This looks a little wrong.
That really looks like the thing that jacks into the back of Neo's head in the Matrix.
Right.
All right.
Is that thing going to attack me in my sleep?
It's...
Well, I wouldn't...
For the prototype, at least, I would recommend not dropping anything when you're near it.
All right.
Now, another thing that you are talking about is,
you sincerely think that we should go to Mars,
that men and women should go to Mars.
Yeah.
Why do we want to go to Mars?
It's uninhabitable.
It's very inhospitable.
That's true.
It is.
Like, you have to be in domes and everything, and you're just leaving...
Initially domes.
Initially?
Yes.
Really?
How long before we could turn Mars into some place where we could live?
It is a fixer-upper of a planet.
First, you're going to have to live in transparent domes, but eventually...
Yes, we're going to be huffing each other's stank.
Yeah, but eventually you can transform Mars into an Earth-like planet.
How would you do that?
You'd warm it up.
Just warm it up.
With a blanket?
How would you warm Mars up?
You know, it's a long way away from the sun.
There's the fast way and the slow way.
Okay.
Give me the fast way.
The fast way is drop thermonuclear weapons over the poles.
You're a super villain.
That's what a super villain does.
Yeah.
