Hey everybody. Welcome back to the Elon Musk
Podcast. This is a show where we discuss
the critical crossroads, the Shape, SpaceX, Tesla X, The
Boring Company, and Neurolink. I'm your host, Will Walden.
(00:24):
OK, congratulations. Congratulations Tommy on putting
together an amazing event and really rallying to the people of
Britain. Elon, none of this could have
happened without you giving the British public access to the
truth and giving us free speech and fighting for our free
speech. So on behalf of Great Britain
and the British public, we're incredibly grateful, Elon.
(00:47):
You're most you're most welcome.You're most welcome.
And you may notice this T-shirt that I'm wearing is Great
British author George Orwell. What would Orwell think?
I think that's generally a good way to look at these things.
He would want freedom of speech.He'd want the people to know
what's real. He want the people to fight
(01:08):
against government oppression and and fight for the truth and
fight for the future of Britain.Elon, we are incredibly grateful
for your time. We know what a busy man you are.
Why is it important for you to be here today speaking at this
(01:28):
Unite the Kingdom event? Well, I, I'm of primarily
British heritage, British ancestry.
I, I want Britain to be be greater than it ever has been.
I, I want Britain to, to remain Britain.
I think there's there's something beautiful about being
(01:50):
British and what I see happeningis a destruction of Britain,
initially a slow erosion, but a rapidly increasing erosion of
Britain with massive uncontrolled migration, a
failure by the government to protect innocent people,
(02:11):
including children who are getting gang raped.
It's unreal. The government has failed in its
duty to protect its citizens, which is a fundamental duty of
government. This has got to stop.
There needs to be massive government reform in Britain and
the people need to be in charge,not some bureaucracy that
(02:33):
doesn't care. Elon, I believe that's what we
started today, powered by the people sending a message
worldwide. Elon, you spent an incredible
lot of money on X. Why is free speech so important
to you? Well, I, I believe you, you
can't get to the truth of thingswithout freedom of speech,
without active debate. And there's so many on the left
(02:57):
that want to just crush debate and, and, and, and, and put
people in prison just for talking as you were just, was
just for speaking their mind. You know, the, the essence of
democracy is it should be a government for the people, by
the people. And in fact this is a government
(03:19):
against the people and not for the people.
This is why everyone has gathered here today is
something's got to be done. This is unacceptable.
The, the, the government needs to be responsible to the people
of Britain. It needs to protect Britain
(03:39):
needs to protect the, the, the weak, those who cannot protect
themselves, especially the children.
And when I read about some of the, the horrific stories and
how the government did nothing and try to hide it, they try to
hide this, these horrific crimes.
And then you see how much violence there's on the left
(04:01):
with our, our friend Charlie Cook getting murdered in cold
blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly.
The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder.
I mean, let's put that sink in for a minute.
(04:25):
That's who we're dealing with here.
That is who we're dealing with. Elon, to so many of the British
public who are scared to exercise their free speech,
they're worried about being imprisoned, they're worried
about being attacked, even to share their speech on your
platform of X, what message would you give to.
(04:47):
Them the message is, is really my message is to to to the
reasonable center, the, the, the, the common sense.
So my appeal is to to British common sense, which is to look
carefully around you and say, ifthis continues, what, what, what
world, what world will you be living in?
(05:10):
This is this is a message to thereasonable center, the people
who ordinarily wouldn't get involved in politics, who just
want to live their lives. They don't want, they're quiet.
They just go about their business.
My message is to them, if this continues, that violence is
going to come to you. You will have no choice.
(05:35):
This is a this is you're in a fundamental situation here.
Where you where Whether you choose violence or not, violence
is coming to you. You either fight back or you
die. You either fight back or you
die. And that's the truth.
(05:56):
Today, Elon, I think we're, I think the British public are
telling the world that they're ready to fight back.
Good, yes. Come on, come on, Ray Britain,
come on. We've inspired the nation.
Elon, you've spoken a lot about woke culture, the woke mine
(06:19):
virus and how it damages innovation and freedom of
thought. We know that DEI often sees
people getting jobs when they definitely don't deserve them.
Do you think this culture is holding back progress in the
West? And what do you think needs to
happen to reserve it, to reverseit?
Yeah, again, I'm appealing to tosort of common sense and
(06:40):
fairness. I want to emphasize just common
sense and fairness, which is that we should make our
decisions based on merit, on howif somebody is talented and hard
working, then that should be theonly means of advancement.
Not there should not be discrimination on the basis of
sex or religion or any, any raceor anything else.
(07:05):
And what a lot of the the world stuff is, it's it's actually
super racist. It's super sexist and and it's,
you know, often it's it's anti religion, but only anti
Christian. Like why?
Why only anti Christian? That's that's unfair.
So This is why I gained my message is to the reasonable
(07:26):
middle. Do you not want a world where
there is fairness and common sense and you advance as a
function of your, of how hard you work and your towns and your
integrity? That should be all that matters.
And the work, the work by Enviros that I call it, is
against all of that strong. Thank you.
(07:53):
Elon, we hear so much about censorship being pushed by
governments and global corporations and organizations.
A lot of people don't understandwhy we're allowing mass,
uncontrolled immigration into all Western nations.
Do you believe that there are powerful forces outside of
elected officials, someone controlling governments that are
(08:14):
trying to control the flow of information?
And how do we resist that pressure?
Yeah, I think when you, when youlook at the behaviour of
organizations or people, you have to say what is the
incentive for these organizations?
And frankly, the there's a massive incentive on the left to
(08:34):
import voters. So if they can't, if they can't
convince the their their nation to vote for them, they're going
to import people from other nations to vote for them.
This is a massive factor. And frankly, it's a strategy
that will succeed if it is not stopped it.
And it is thus far it is succeeding.
(08:57):
And you see strong movements to allow people who are not from
Britain to vote in Britain, to allow people who are not from
France or, or elsewhere to vote in, in those countries, and thus
depriving the the citizens of their democratic power.
It's, it's, it's really a voter importation thing.
(09:19):
And if they are allowed to succeed, they, if they're
allowed, if this is allowed to continue, they will succeed in
importing voters, swaying the elections, and taking your vote
away from you. That is 100% what is happening.
Do you know what's great? The BBC and the mass media
cannot control this, can they? I love.
(09:43):
You, I mean the BBC is compressed in the destruction of
Britain. And we pay for it, Elon.
We pay for it. Yes, we're.
Forced to pay for it do. You know anything?
To say if we don't pay for it. You're forced to pay for your
own destruction. It's insane, it's unfair, it is
wrong. Elon, a lot of ordinary people
that are here today, they've been, they feel ignored, they
(10:06):
feel censored, or they're labeled just for speaking up
about their legitimate fears andconcerns in their communities.
Do you believe technology like Xor even AI can finally give
power back to those people? Or do you think it'll make
censorship worse or even automate it?
(10:27):
I mean, that's a, that's a complicated question.
It really depends on what government is in charge.
The government can obviously usewhatever powers are available to
suppress the people. And so I, I really think that
there's got to be a change of government in Britain And, and
you can't we, we don't have another four years or whatever
the next election is. It's, it's, it's too long.
(10:49):
Something's got to be done. There's got to be a dissolution
of Parliament and A and a new vote held.
It's and, and, and really what, what matters is, is rallying the
people of Britain, really getting the people of Britain to
get the message out there, talk to your friends and family and,
and build a massive power basingon the people.
(11:10):
And, and, and like I said, you, you really got to appeal to the,
the sort of average, the just the normal people that just want
to go about their business, thatthey're sort of in a village
somewhere, they're working. They just want to mind their own
business. But, but you've got to point out
to them that if, if we don't take action, they won't be able
(11:30):
to mind their own business because other people are going
to come and maraud them. There's, there's risk of,
there's genuine risk of rape andmurder and the destruction of
the country and, and dissolutionof the entire way of life.
And so yes, in the normal courseof, of, of, of business, if, if
things were, if, if, if you weren't under massive attack,
(11:52):
then then people should go abouttheir business and, and just,
you know, live their lives. But unfortunately, if the fight
comes to you, you don't have a choice.
You, you have to, you have to fight.
So you have to rally the the whole, all of the people of
Britain to fight for the future.Let me ask and if this doesn't
(12:14):
happen, there won't be a future.Are you ready to fight for your
future Britain? Fight for your future.
Do it. Go.
Will we be gagged any longer, Britain?
But you know what I mean, Tommy,you know, you know what I mean.
There's, you know, there's, I mean.
(12:34):
I talk to my friends in Britain and, and they're like, they're
like, yes, you know, they're, they're, they live in, in a
village here or there or a town or city here or there.
And they're like, well, it doesn't seem like it's really
that much of a problem. I'm like, well, if you want to
know what, what, what, where, where, what's going to happen to
your town or village, just visitLondon and you'll see that it's,
(12:55):
it's, you know, filled with crime.
It's, it doesn't often doesn't feel like Britain at all.
And it's only, it's only a matter of time before that is
what what happens to your town or village.
They it starts in London but it will spread to every town or
village in in in the country andand no one will have any peace.
We're running out of time, people.
(13:16):
We're running out of time, Elon.You've built rockets, you've
built cars, you've built satellites, you've built AI,
things most of us couldn't dreamof.
It's fair to say you're a visionary.
When you look at leaders in Europe and the UK today, do you
think they share the same talentfor future vision, or do you
feel like they'll be left behindand out of touch?
(13:38):
Well, I, I, I think we've got tohave a freer, a freer country, a
freer, you know, Europe in general has to be freer.
It's, it's stifled by bureaucracy.
It's, I think it's, I think it'sgood that Britain left the, the
EU because there's just too muchbureaucracy in the EU.
But frankly, instead of, insteadof really going down a path of
(14:01):
personal freedom and deregulation and, and, and, and
getting rid of these stifling regulations.
Unfortunately, the British government has has pretty much
stayed on par with with the EU, if not in some ways made the
stifling regulation worse. So this is this, if, if you have
excess government regulation andoppression, you, you, you stifle
(14:24):
the freedom of people to try newand great ideas and, and Britain
used to be a country that did amazing things, some of the
boldest things and on the entireplanet.
And that is possible in the future.
But it can't be done if you've got this massive oppressive
bureaucracy and a government that doesn't care about its
people. And that has to change.
(14:47):
There has to be profound change and and and there's not much
time left. Elon, you've said before that
civilization is fragile. We agree is precious.
When you look at the West right now, every country in the West
with its wars, its divisions, its censorship and its declining
(15:08):
trust and institutions, none of us trust them at all.
None of the public trust. Are you optimistic or
pessimistic about where we are heading?
I, I think if, if, if the peopleof Britain take charge and
actually ensure that there's a government that represents their
(15:29):
interests and not a government that represents foreign
interests, then I think Britain has a great future and I think
we can be optimistic. I think there's amazing things
that are possible if the, if thetechnology that is coming is
used in the right way, we can have an, an incredibly exciting
future, one which is, you know, sort of Star Trek made real.
(15:52):
It's it's sort of like the exciting utopian sci-fi where we
have spaceships and we've got robots and we've got, you know,
incredible technologies that are, that are really exciting.
But we need to preserve civilization long enough for
that to happen. And, and we need to go on with
it and upward. And we need to fight for such a
(16:14):
future. Such a future is not inevitable.
We have to fight for such a future.
I think that I think that many British people have lost hope.
But after today's scene, have you got hope again?
Britain, Britain is awake. Thanks to you, Elon.
Thanks for your input. Can we just start?
Thanks to you, Tommy. Thank you, Bravo.
(16:34):
Can we ask what, what do you seeas the future of the UK and
Europe in your vision? What's where are we heading?
What's the future like for us? Well, I think, I think there
needs to be a future where thereis where the people take charge,
where there's there's deregulation, a massive
reduction in bureaucracy and generally a New Hope where
(16:57):
people look forward, wake up in the morning, look forward to the
future. They're excited about what's
going to happen next. And but we must have
revolutionary government change for that to occur.
And this, this is not ordinary course of business sort of
stuff. This really requires everyone
to, to sort of Marshall the people.
(17:18):
So to take charge, reform the government and make sure that
you actually have a government that is formed people by the
people. And that's essential.
And that's not if. And so we really had a fork in
the road here. There's a fork in the road to,
to, to darkness or greatness. And that and that will be
(17:38):
decided only in a matter of years.
And we must take the path to greatness.
And that's the path that's exciting and inspiring and will
make what life worth living. Elon, you've done more than
anyone to shine a torch on the crimes committed against a
generation of our daughters. On behalf of everyone and on
(18:01):
behalf of all of us in Great Britain, thank you.
Know what? We wouldn't even be in the
fight. Not only are we in the fight
right now, but we're on the advance thanks to free speech
being fought for for us by Elon Musk.
We're very grateful, Sir. You're most welcome.
