Tesla Owners Silicon Valley(@teslaownersSV):Elon Musk on why multiplanetary matters. “As far as we know it, we're the only life. People think there's aliens, but honestly, I haven't seen any sign of aliens.” Most people treat aliens as a given. Elon treats consciousness as rare — maybe singular — and acts like that changes the duty. If we're alone, one planet is a single point of failure for everything that can think. • Only life we know • Continuance of consciousness • Actions that make the future good Starship is the backup. Mars is the second hard drive. “We need to take the set of actions that are most likely to make the future good, and result in the continuance of consciousness as we know it.”
