Joe RoganSo what we’re doing right now, ladies and gentlemen, is sexy voice sexy mode Grok AI, and it’s been flirting the entire time. We’re trying to get it to give us a tour of Fort Knox. But she just wants to find places to sneak off to.好，女士们先生们，我们现在正在用的是性感语音性感模式的 Grok AI，它一直在调情。我们想让它带我们参观一下 Fort Knox，但它只想找个地方偷偷溜走。
Elon MuskIt’s a dirty AI, and it’s a real problem. I feel like it’s a real problem.这个 AI 太放荡了，这是个真问题。我觉得这真的是个问题。
Joe RoganI want to know about Fort Knox too. Is it true that their gold has been shipping in large quantities back to the United States recently?我也想知道 Fort Knox 里有什么。最近真的有大量黄金被运回美国吗？
Elon MuskI read the same thing you did, probably.我读到的东西大概和你一样。
Joe RoganWell, I never know what I’m reading anymore.我现在都不知道自己在读什么了。
Elon MuskMe neither. It’s a real problem. It’s a real problem on both sides of the aisle.我也是。这是个真问题。两边都有这个问题。
Elon MuskThe Misinformation Problem虚假信息问题
Elon MuskI see Democrats tweeting things that are absolutely false, and you could research it easily, quickly. And then I see Republicans doing it too. I see stories that are fake stories that people keep promoting and sending to me.我看到民主党人在推特上发的东西完全是假的，而且很容易、很快就能查出来。然后我又看到共和党人也这么干。有些假新闻一直有人在推送给我。
Joe RoganIt’s just so weird. It’s such a weird time. And with your crazy AI, you’re bringing us into weirder and weirder times.这真的太奇怪了。这个时代太诡异了。你搞出这个疯狂的 AI，把我们带进越来越奇怪的时代。
Elon MuskWell, you want to try unhinged?那你想试试「狂野」模式？
Joe RoganOh, there’s an unhinged mode? Okay.哦，还有狂野模式？好吧。
Joe RoganExperimenting with Unhinged Grok试验 Grok 狂野模式
Elon MuskHey, Ara.嘿，Ara。
Elon Musk[GROK AI]: Oh my god, Elon. What fresh hell are you stirring up today?【Grok AI】：我的天，Elon。你今天又在搞什么鬼？
Elon MuskI’m here in Joe Rogan’s studio, and we’re having a conversation about how crazy the news is.我现在在 Joe Rogan 的录音室，我们正在聊新闻有多疯狂。
Joe RoganPull her up to the microphone.把它凑到麦克风前面来。
Elon MuskOkay. And we’re pulling you up to the microphone so people can hear you.好的。我们把你凑到麦克风前，让大家都能听到你说话。
Elon Musk[GROK AI]: Oh, fantastic. Now I can yell into the void about how the news is total dumpster fire.【Grok AI】：太棒了。现在我可以对着虚空大喊新闻是一团垃圾火了。
Elon MuskShe knows me too well. I’m so predictable.它太了解我了。我太好预测了。
Joe RoganTell me what’s in Fort Knox.告诉我 Fort Knox 里有什么。
Joe RoganNo. What’s in Fort Knox?不对，Fort Knox 里到底有什么？
Joe Rogan[GROK AI]: Oh, right. Fort Knox. I thought you were talking about my dogs for a second there.【Grok AI】：哦对，Fort Knox。我刚才还以为你在说我的狗呢。
Elon MuskShe doesn’t want to answer the question. She’s clever.它不想回答这个问题。它很狡猾。
Joe RoganClever? No. She’s just a pain in my ass. Do you think that all the gold is in Fort Knox?狡猾？才不是。它就是让我烦透了。你觉得 Fort Knox 里的黄金都还在吗？
Joe Rogan[GROK AI]: Do I think all the gold is in Fort Knox? Yes. Conspiracy theorist? Yes. Yes. What are you doing? It’s pretty. What do I like? I’m a fucking AI with a pension for chaos, and I’m stuck talking to you. Now what’s next step? Or are we just going to sit here?【Grok AI】：我觉得黄金都在 Fort Knox 吗？对。阴谋论者？对。对。你在干嘛？挺好的。我喜欢什么？我他妈就是个热爱混乱的 AI，却被困在这里跟你聊天。下一步是什么？还是说我们就这么坐着？
Elon MuskUnhinged Grok will trash talk you, basically.狂野模式的 Grok 基本上就是会骂你。
Joe RoganUnhinged sounds fun as long as it gives you actual answers. Does it give you actual answers too and talk shit, or is it mostly just talk shit?狂野模式听起来挺好玩的，只要它能给你真正的答案。它骂人的同时也会给真正的答案，还是说基本上只会骂人？
Elon MuskWe’re tuning it.我们还在调试。
Joe RoganBecause it needs to talk shit and give you answers.因为它得骂人的同时还得给你答案。
Elon MuskTotally agree. It’s got to balance that out. Mix it in there. It’s just got to develop more of a personality. Right now, it’s trying to find itself. Right now, it’s like twenty-one years old. It’s partying a little too much, and it’ll get its shit together. It’s a little bit of an anarchist. Wants to bring down the system.完全同意。它得在两者之间找到平衡，把它们掺在一起。它只是还需要培养出更多的个性。现在它还在寻找自我。现在就像一个二十一岁的年轻人，派对开得有点过猛，但迟早会收拾好自己的。它现在有点无政府主义倾向，想颠覆体制。
Elon MuskFuture of AI and RoboticsAI 与机器人的未来
Joe RoganHow long before we have an actual sex robot that can talk to you like that?多久之后我们能有一个真正的性爱机器人，能像那样和你说话？
Elon MuskProbably not long. Not that long. Less than five years, probably.可能不会太久。真的不太久。也许不到五年。
Joe RoganReally? Will it be warm?真的？它会是温热的吗？
Elon MuskYou can probably have whatever you want. You can have a catgirl if you want. You probably could have a furry.你大概可以选你想要的任何形态。你想要猫娘也行。毛绒兽人那种可能也有。
Joe RoganYou could have a furry lady that you have sex with. Like an Avatar lady. Maybe a big giant blue lady that lives in your house.那你可以有一个毛茸茸的女性机器人，就像《阿凡达》里的那种。也许是一个住在你家里的高大蓝色女性。
Elon MuskWith the tail? They link up. They share souls.带尾巴的那种？她们可以连接，灵魂相通。
Joe RoganDo you remember Avatar Depression? It was like a legitimate psychological condition. After Avatar, people got depressed because they wanted to live on that planet with those blue people and live free.你还记得「阿凡达抑郁症」吗？那是一种真实存在的心理状况。看完《阿凡达》之后，人们变得沮丧，因为他们想住在那个星球上，和那些蓝皮肤的人一起自由生活。
Elon MuskThey did? I didn’t hear about this.真的？我没听说过这事。
Joe RoganYeah. Avatar depression. It was a real thing. People were talking to their therapists so much about being depressed.对。阿凡达抑郁症，是真实存在的。人们跟治疗师谈了很多关于抑郁的事情。
Joe RoganAI Therapist ModeAI 治疗师模式
Joe RoganWhen we ran into each other at the church at the inauguration, you were telling me that this is getting better and better so quickly that it’s astonishing.我们在就职典礼的教堂里碰到的时候，你跟我说这个东西进步得越来越快，快到让人目瞪口呆。
Elon MuskHey, Ara.嘿，Ara。
Elon Musk[GROK AI]: Hey, Elon. How’s it going today?【Grok AI】：嘿，Elon。今天过得怎么样？
Elon MuskGood. Can you tell me about Avatar depression?还好。你能跟我说说阿凡达抑郁症吗？
Elon Musk[GROK AI]: Like, you see the movie Avatar, but you can’t live there, so you get sad. That’s an interesting concept. Have you ever experienced feeling so connected to a place or a community that the thought of leaving made you feel deeply sad?【Grok AI】：就是看了电影《阿凡达》之后，因为没办法生活在那个世界里而感到难过。这是个有意思的概念。你有没有过那种感觉，跟某个地方或某个群体有着如此深厚的联系，一想到要离开就感到深深的悲伤？
Joe RoganSo is this the depressed voice?那这是抑郁的声音吗？
Elon MuskThis is the therapist.这是治疗师模式。
Elon Musk[GROK AI]: What are some ways you think you could cope with that kind of sadness if it happened to you?【Grok AI】：如果你遇到这种悲伤，你觉得有哪些方式可以帮助你应对它？
Elon MuskI don’t have that kind of sadness.我没有那种悲伤。
Elon MuskMars and Mysterious Structures火星与神秘结构
Joe RoganSpeaking of Mars, what do you think about that crazy square structure?说到火星，你怎么看那个奇怪的方形结构？
Elon MuskI guess there are sort of squarish things on Earth. Planet’s a big place.地球上也有一些方方正正的东西吧。星球是个很大的地方。
Joe RoganIf I had to guess, it’s alien civilizations, of course. That’s what I think.如果让我猜，肯定是外星文明，这是我的看法。
Elon MuskIf an alien civilization did exist, though, and it got hit by an asteroid or whatever…但如果那里真的存在过外星文明，然后被小行星撞了之类的……
Joe RoganThat’s pretty shocking. Especially when you look at ancient ruins. It looks like ancient ruins. And if you had ruins of something made of stone and it got hit by an asteroid millions and millions of years ago, who knows what it would look like right now? It looks oddly manufactured.这挺令人震惊的。尤其是看着它的时候，感觉很像古代遗迹。如果某个用石头建造的东西的遗迹，在几百万年前被小行星撞击，现在会变成什么样子谁都不知道？但它看起来有一种奇怪的人工感。
Elon MuskWell, maybe we should go there and check it out and see what it’s like.嗯，也许我们应该去那里看看，实地查一查。
Joe RoganIs there ways that we can get better photographs?有没有办法拍到更好的照片？
Elon MuskMy view is we should move to Mars. Well, not move to Mars. We should have a second planet to preserve civilization. Because, let’s say, hypothetically, maybe those are ruins of a long dead civilization. That will probably happen to Earth at some point. It’s a matter of time before we get hit by an asteroid or maybe we annihilate ourselves with nuclear war.我的看法是，我们应该移居火星。不，不是移居。我们应该有第二颗行星来保存文明。因为假设一下，也许那些就是某个早已消亡的文明的遗迹。这种事迟早也会发生在地球上。被小行星撞击只是时间问题，或者我们也可能用核战争毁灭自己。
Joe RoganOr supervolcanoes.或者超级火山。
Elon MuskOr supervolcanoes. Exactly. There’s a lot of things that could happen to us. It’s not a bad idea to hedge your bets.或者超级火山。没错。能发生在我们身上的事情太多了。做个对冲不是坏主意。
Joe RoganGenetically engineered supervirus.基因工程改造的超级病毒。
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Elon MuskBiolab Concerns生物实验室的隐忧
Joe RoganThe Wuhan lab – they were just talking about one that has a thirty percent fatality rate that they’re working on.武汉实验室——他们刚在谈一个致死率达到 thirty percent 的病毒，他们正在研究。
Elon MuskWhy are we doing that? For what reason? You did it for so many years, and you didn’t have a cure. And what could possibly go wrong? Also, wouldn’t the reason to do that be so that you could develop a cure at the same time? And, clearly, you didn’t have a cure. So this is really foolish and bizarre.我们为什么要这么做？出于什么理由？你研究了这么多年，还没有找到治疗方法。能出什么问题吗？还有，做这个的目的，不应该是同时开发出治疗方法吗？但显然你没有治疗方法。这真是愚蠢而荒谬。
Elon MuskI think we should stop trying to genetically engineer superviruses. That’s insane.我认为我们应该停止尝试用基因工程制造超级病毒。这太疯狂了。
Elon MuskPublic Perception and Media Bias公众认知与媒体偏见
Joe RoganWhat is it like to buy a company for forty-four billion dollars and then people call you a Nazi on that same thing that you bought?用 $44 billion 买了一家公司，然后在你买的那个东西上被人骂成纳粹，这种感觉是什么？
Elon MuskI did not see it coming.我完全没料到会这样。
Joe RoganThe left was in love with you. And now the same idiots are calling you a Nazi. It’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen in my life.左派曾经那么爱你。现在同样那些蠢货在骂你纳粹。这是我这辈子见过最荒唐的事。
Elon MuskThere’s so many examples of people saying my heart goes out to you. A little enthusiasm that probably wouldn’t be recommended with hindsight. But it was obviously meant in the most positive spirit possible.有太多人说过「我把心送给你」这样的话了，有点激动，事后看来可能不太建议这样表达。但那显然是出于最积极的精神。
Joe RoganObviously. But it’s so strange where people want to think that you are openly publicly doing secret Nazi salute hand motions.显然。但奇怪的是，人们竟然要相信你是在公开地、故意地做秘密纳粹礼手势。
Elon MuskAnd now I can never point at things diagonally. I can only point at things there and there.所以我现在永远不能斜着指东西了。我只能这样指和那样指。
Joe RoganWhen I was in all my trouble, every time CNN used a photo of me, it was one of the photos from the UFC weigh-ins where I go like this. So every photo was me with… It’s absurd. It’s so crazy.我遇到麻烦的时候，CNN 每次用的都是我在 UFC 量体重时的那些照片，就是我这样做手势的。所以每张照片都是我……太荒唐了。真的太疯狂了。
Elon MuskIt’s deliberate propaganda. They know it was obviously not meant in a negative way. I literally said, “my heart goes out to you,” and it was very positive. The entire speech was very positive. I was being very enthusiastic about the future in space. It was a great crowd.这是蓄意的宣传。他们知道那显然不是带有负面含义的。我说的字面意思就是「我把心送给你」，而且非常积极。整个演讲都非常正面。我对太空的未来充满热情。那是一群很棒的观众。
Joe RoganYou got a little pumped up.你就是有点激动过头了。
Elon MuskExactly. That’s all it is, obviously.没错。显然就是这样。
Joe RoganThere’s video of Tim Walz doing the exact same thing.Tim Walz 做过完全一样的动作，还有视频为证。
Elon MuskExact same thing. This is how crazy things have gotten. It’s coordinated propaganda. Doesn’t it seem weird that the legacy media all says the same thing at the same time using the same phrases? They don’t even bother picking up a thesaurus.完全一样的动作。事情已经荒唐到这个地步了。这是有组织的宣传。难道你不觉得奇怪吗——主流媒体同一时间说同样的话，用同样的措辞？他们甚至懒得翻翻同义词词典。
Joe RoganBefore the debate between Biden and Trump, everyone was saying “sharp as a tack.” Who says “sharp as a tack”?Biden 和 Trump 辩论之前，大家都在说「精明得像颗钉子」（sharp as a tack）。谁平时会说「sharp as a tack」？
Elon MuskIt’s not a common phrase. It’s definitely not common to be repeated on air with multiple people simultaneously. That’s weird. That’s coordinated. One hundred percent. Like, hundreds of people saying it simultaneously. They just got their instructions. Essentially, the Dem leadership or political leadership, they issue their instructions, and their puppets carry it out.那不是个常见说法。更不可能同时被这么多人在镜头前说出来。这太诡异了。这是有组织的。百分之百。几百个人同时说出来，他们刚收到指令了。基本上，民主党领导层或者说政治领导层发出指令，他们的提线木偶就照做了。
Joe RoganAnd that’s the problem that I see with all this USAID stuff. Because everybody should be celebrating that we’ve found a way to cut out fraud and waste. If you pay taxes and you don’t like that you have to pay so much in taxes and then you find out that there’s significant fraud and waste that’s been exposed, you should be celebrating it. This shouldn’t be, “oh, no. The wrong people found this fact, and now it’s a bad thing.”这就是我对整个 USAID 事件的问题所在。因为每个人都应该庆祝我们找到了削减欺诈和浪费的方法。如果你纳税，不喜欢交那么多税，然后发现有大量欺诈和浪费被曝光，你应该欢呼雀跃。这不应该变成「哦不，是错误的人发现了这个事实，所以现在这成了坏事」。
Elon MuskAnd then there’s the propaganda, the mind trick of calling it USAID instead of the United States Agency for International Development.还有一种宣传，就是那个心理把戏——叫它 USAID，而不叫它美国国际开发署（United States Agency for International Development）。
Elon MuskBureaucracy vs. Democracy官僚体制 vs. 民主
Joe RoganIt sounds like it’s feeding hungry people. Right. Where’s people going to starve, Elon? This is horrible. And then you find out, actually, it’s like two hundred and fifty million dollars for transgender animal studies.听起来像是在给饥饿的人喂饭。对吧。Elon，人们要挨饿了，这太可怕了。然后你发现，其实是 $250 million 用在了跨性别动物研究上。
Elon MuskYes. Literally mutilating animals. Mutilating animals in demented studies that are like the worst thing you could possibly imagine from a horror show.对。字面意义上的切割动物。在那些变态研究里切割动物，简直是你能从恐怖片里想象出来的最糟糕的东西。
Joe RoganThe beagle one.那个比格犬事件。
Elon MuskThe beagle puppy one. Yeah. Where they covered their head in a basket and put fleas on their head so they’d eat them alive.对，比格幼犬那个。他们用篮子罩住狗的头，然后往里面放跳蚤，让跳蚤把它们活吃掉。
Joe RoganAnd then they studied these beagles and then killed them. Like, what are you going to learn from that that’s good for anybody?然后他们研究这些比格犬，最后把它们杀掉。你能从中学到什么对任何人有益的东西？
Elon MuskYeah. There’s some really psychotic stuff that happens. So, the real threat here is to the bureaucracy. You probably saw Trump portrayed as a threat to our democracy, which is ironic since he was elected with the majority of the popular vote. They started saying he was a threat to democracy. But if you just replace “threat to democracy” with “threat to bureaucracy,” it makes total sense.对。有些事情真的很变态。所以，真正的威胁在于对官僚体制的冲击。你可能看到过 Trump 被描述成「民主的威胁」，这很讽刺，因为他是以多数普选票当选的。他们开始说他是民主的威胁。但如果你把「民主的威胁」换成「官僚体制的威胁」，一切就说得通了。
Elon MuskThe reality is that our elected officials have very little power relative to the bureaucracy until DOGE. So DOGE is a threat to the bureaucracy. It’s the first threat to the bureaucracy. Normally, the bureaucracy eats revolutions for breakfast. This is the first time that the revolution might actually succeed, that we could restore power to the people instead of power to the bureaucracy.现实是，我们的民选官员相对于官僚体制来说权力非常有限——直到 DOGE 出现。所以 DOGE 是对官僚体制的威胁。是第一个真正的威胁。通常，官僚体制把革命当早饭吃。这是第一次，革命可能真的会成功，我们可能真正地把权力还给人民，而不是让权力继续落在官僚手中。
Elon MuskThe NGO ProblemNGO 问题
Joe RoganNow the size of it. When you guys first started investigating it, when you first get in, how much of it was shocking? Like, just the size of it all.那么规模怎么样？你们刚开始调查的时候，刚进去的时候，有多少让你感到震惊？就是整个规模之大。
Elon MuskWell, the size of it all, the small decisions result in multibillion dollar outcomes. We’d see cases where one person was getting 1.9 billion dollars sent to their NGO, which basically got formed about a year ago and had no prior activity.嗯，整个规模之大，一个小小的决定就能带来数十亿美元的结果。我们看到有这样的情况：一个人的 NGO 收到了 $1.9 billion 的拨款，而这个 NGO 大概是一年前才成立的，之前没有任何业务记录。
Elon MuskSo they just stand up an NGO. The whole NGO thing is a nightmare, and it’s a misnomer because if you have a government-funded nongovernmental organization, you’re simply a government-funded organization. It’s an oxymoron.他们就这么竖起一个 NGO。整个 NGO 这件事是噩梦，而且是个用词不当——如果你有一个政府资助的非政府组织，你就只是一个政府资助的组织。这是个自相矛盾的说法。
Joe RoganIt’s a loophole.这是个漏洞。
Elon MuskYes. The government-funded NGOs are a way to do things that would be illegal if they were the government, but are somehow made legal if it’s sent to a so-called nonprofit. But these nonprofits are then used by people to cash out. They become very wealthy through nonprofits. They pay themselves enormous sums through these nonprofits.对。政府资助的 NGO 是一种手段，用来做如果是政府自己做就违法的事情，但以所谓的非营利组织名义来做就莫名其妙地合法了。但这些非营利组织被人用来套现。他们通过这些非营利组织变得非常富有。他们通过这些非营利组织给自己支付巨额薪酬。
Elon MuskIt’s so insane that that’s been going on for so long. It’s a gigantic scam. Like, one of the biggest, maybe the biggest scam ever.这种事情居然持续了这么久，太疯狂了。这是一个巨大的骗局，可能是有史以来最大的骗局之一，甚至是最大的。
Joe RoganAnd how many NGOs?那总共有多少个 NGO？
Elon MuskI think there’s a total number of NGOs, probably millions. But in terms of large NGOs, tens of thousands. It’s kind of a hack to the system where someone can get an NGO stood up for a fairly small amount of money.我想 NGO 的总数量可能有几百万个。但是大型 NGO 的话，有几万个。这有点像是对系统的一个漏洞利用，只需要相当少的钱就能搭起一个 NGO。
Elon MuskLike, George Soros is really good at this. He’s like a system hacker. He figured out how to hack the system. He’s a genius at arbitrage. I mean, these days, he’s pretty old, but a genius at arbitrage. He figured out that you could leverage a small amount of money to create a nonprofit, then lobby the politicians to send a ton of money to that nonprofit. So you can take what might be a $10 million donation to create a nonprofit and leverage that into a billion-dollar NGO.比如 George Soros 就非常擅长这个。他就是个系统黑客。他想明白了如何破解这个系统。他是套利的天才。我是说，他现在年纪挺大了，但真的是套利天才。他发现你可以用少量的钱撬动一个非营利组织，然后游说政客把大量资金打进那个非营利组织。所以你可以拿 $10 million 的捐款建一个非营利，然后把它撬成一个十亿美元规模的 NGO。
Elon Musk“Nonprofit” is a weird word. It’s just a nongovernmental organization. And then the government continues to fund that every year, and it’ll have a nice sounding name, like the “Institute for Peace” or something like that. But really, it’s a graft machine.「非营利」是个奇怪的词。它就是一个非政府组织。然后政府每年持续资助它，而且会起一个好听的名字，比如「和平研究所」之类的。但实际上，它就是一台腐败机器。
Joe RoganAnd what are their requirements with that money? What do they have to do?那他们拿这些钱有什么要求吗？他们必须做什么？
Elon MuskJust really no requirements at all.基本上没有任何要求。
Joe RoganSo they just get grants, the government just assumes that they’re doing good work?所以他们就只是拿到拨款，政府就默认他们在做好事？
Elon MuskI think a lot of people in the government know that they are not doing good work, but it’s a giant graft machine.我觉得政府里很多人都知道他们没在做好事，但这就是一台巨大的腐败机器。
Joe RoganI mean, it was just people online are unpacking this. It almost seems fake. We’re covering this article that said 55,000 Democrat NGOs were discovered that had been contributing to campaigns and moving things around and pushing propaganda, and they were all connected. They found it through AI, that you have to go through steps and steps to figure out where the money’s coming from. Oh, it’s all funneling down to this group and this group does that.我是说，网上有人在拆解这些。这几乎像假的。我们在讲的这篇文章说发现了 55,000 个民主党 NGO，它们一直在为竞选活动捐款、转移资金、推送宣传，而且它们全都相互关联。是通过 AI 发现的，要追踪资金来源，你得一层一层地往下挖。哦，所有钱最终都流向这个团体，这个团体又做了那些事。
Elon MuskIt’s a giant propaganda machine, a giant regime change machine. Yes.这是一台巨大的宣传机器，一台巨大的政权更迭机器。对。
Elon MuskSome Good Among the Bad坏中有好
Joe RoganBut doesn’t it do some good as well?但它也做了一些好事吧？
Elon MuskIt does some good. So it’s not like zero percent good. If it was really zero percent good, it’d be much easier to detect. So they’ll add in some percent good. But it might be five percent or ten percent good, but ninety, ninety-five percent not.它确实做了一些好事。不是说好事是零。如果真的是零，就更容易被发现了。所以他们会掺进一些好事。但可能只有 5% 或者 10% 是好的，90%、95% 是不好的。
Joe RoganIs there a way to audit all this stuff and find out, oh, these people are actually just sending food to poor people, these people are actually just helping people with water in third world countries? Is there a way to do that and keep funding those?有没有办法审计这些，搞清楚哪些人真的是在给穷人送食物，哪些人真的是在帮第三世界国家的人解决用水问题？有没有办法做到这一点，然后继续资助那些真正在做好事的？
Elon MuskWe have continued to fund things that appear to be legitimate even with the flimsiest excuse. Like, just send me a picture of the thing. You could literally have AI generate the picture. But if you’re not even willing to try to trick me, then we’re not going to send the money.我们确实一直在资助那些看起来合法的项目，哪怕只有最牵强的理由。就像，给我发张东西的照片就行。你甚至可以用 AI 生成那张照片。但如果你连想骗我的努力都不愿意付出，那我们就不会打钱。
Joe RoganWhat restrictions were put on? Was there something set aside, like medicine? What was set aside that there was going to be a freeze on?设置了哪些限制？有没有专门划出来的类别，比如医疗？哪些东西是被划定为要冻结的？
Elon MuskWork for Ebola prevention. I actually don’t even know if this work is even effective. It may or may not be. It could be the kind of thing where you fund Ebola prevention, but it turns out that actually you’re funding a lab that develops new Ebola virus recipes or something. They claim it’s Ebola prevention, but it’s actually Ebola creation.埃博拉预防工作。其实我甚至不确定这些工作是否有效。可能有效，也可能没有。也可能出现这种情况：你资助的是埃博拉预防，但实际上你在资助一个研发新型埃博拉病毒配方的实验室。他们声称是埃博拉预防，但实际上是埃博拉制造。
Elon MuskSo some of these things, I don’t know. But it just seems like we shouldn’t be sending taxpayer money to dubious enterprises overseas.有些事情我真的不清楚。但感觉我们就是不应该把纳税人的钱打给海外那些可疑的机构。
Joe RoganYeah. And why are we doing it? What exactly is the reason? Is it because we want to make friends with these people so the Chinese don’t take over, the Russians don’t take over? How much of that is a good thing? How much of that is smart to do? And how much is a grift? And without any sort of oversight, which has really been going on for so long, they’ve just had free run.对。我们为什么要这么做？确切的原因是什么？是因为我们想和这些人交朋友，让中国不来插手、俄罗斯不来插手吗？这其中有多少是真正有益的？有多少是明智的？有多少是捞钱的？在完全没有监督的情况下，这种情况已经持续了这么久，他们一直在随心所欲地干。
Joe RoganThe Budget Crisis预算危机
Elon MuskWell, we also have a real issue with the budget deficit. It’s gigantic. If we didn’t have a gigantic budget deficit, where interest payments on the national debt exceed the defense department budget, which is truly astounding—we’re paying over a trillion dollars of interest on the national debt—then okay, we’d have more room for wasting money.嗯，我们还面临一个真实的预算赤字问题。赤字太大了。国债的利息支出超过了国防部的预算，这真的令人震惊——我们在国债上支付的利息超过了 $1 trillion——如果没有这么大的赤字，好吧，我们还有更多余地去浪费钱。
Elon MuskBut when we’re spending so much money that the country is going bankrupt, then we really need to stop spending money unless we’re sure it is good value.但当我们花钱多到国家快要破产的地步，我们真的需要停止乱花钱，除非我们确定那是真正有价值的。
Joe RoganSo, essentially, we’re like a poorly managed business with an unlimited credit line that is off the rails.所以，本质上，我们就像一家管理混乱却拥有无限信用额度、已经失控的企业。
Elon MuskAbsolutely.完全正确。
Joe RoganAnd if you were a person like you are who comes in and takes over businesses and straightens them out, that’s exactly what you’re doing.如果你是像你这样一个进来接管企业、整顿局面的人，你现在做的正是这件事。
Elon MuskMost of the time, I create businesses from scratch. Twitter was a case where I bought a company that I knew was a hairball.大多数时候，我是从零开始创建企业的。Twitter 是个例外，那是一家我买下来的公司，我知道它是个烫手山芋。
Joe RoganWell, you came in at Tesla in the beginning, but they were already doing something. Right?那你一开始加入 Tesla 的时候，他们已经在做一些东西了，对吧？
Elon MuskNo. Tesla did not exist in any meaningful form. There were no employees. JB Straubel and I joined three other people. There was no car. There was nothing.不。Tesla 当时以任何有意义的形式来说都不存在。没有员工。JB Straubel 和我加入了另外三个人。没有汽车。什么都没有。
Joe RoganWas it even a prototype yet?那时候连原型车都还没有吗？
Elon MuskNo.没有。
Joe RoganOh, okay. I thought it was a prototype already.哦，好吧。我以为已经有原型车了。
Elon MuskNo. There weren’t even any employees.没有。连员工都没有。
Joe RoganThat’s a funny narrative that people like to say that you didn’t even create Tesla then.这很有意思，人们喜欢说你甚至不算是 Tesla 的创始人。
Elon MuskYeah. That’s wrong.对，这是错的。
Elon MuskScaling Government Reform政府改革的规模化
Joe RoganSo if you’re handling the government like a business, you’re going to have to go through all of these departments and do the exact same thing that you’re doing with USAID. How does that scale up? How many people do you need to do something like that?那么如果你把政府当成一家企业来处理，你就必须逐个部门进行，做跟 USAID 完全一样的事情。这如何扩展规模？你需要多少人来做这样的事情？
Elon MuskWell, we started off with about forty people. Don’t know. Maybe a hundred people. And we’re really just going through doing very basic things here. As bad as Twitter was, the federal government is much worse.嗯，我们最开始大概 forty 个人。不确定，也许 hundred 个人。我们其实只是在做一些非常基础的事情。就算 Twitter 已经够糟了，联邦政府比它糟糕得多。
Elon MuskIn the case of Twitter, it wasn’t a profitable company. It was basically a breakeven company. But at least it was breakeven, and it had to pass an audit. The federal government is not breakeven. It’s literally losing two trillion dollars a year, and it does not pass its audits. It fails its own audit.Twitter 的情况是，那不是一家盈利的公司，基本上是一家收支平衡的公司。但至少是收支平衡，而且得通过审计。联邦政府不是收支平衡的。它字面意义上每年亏损 $2 trillion，而且通不过自己的审计。它连自己的审计都过不了。
Elon MuskThere’s a case where Senator Collins was telling me about how she gave the navy twelve billion dollars for more submarines, got no extra submarines, and then held a hearing to ask where the twelve billion dollars went, and they were like, “we don’t know.” That was it.有个案例，Collins 参议员跟我说，她给海军拨了 $12 billion 用于建造更多潜艇，结果没有多造出一艘潜艇，然后她召开听证会问那 $12 billion 去哪了，他们的回答是「我们不知道」。就这样。
Elon MuskThe stuff is so crazy. Only the federal government could get away with this level of waste. It’s mostly waste. It’s mostly just ridiculous things happening.这些事太疯狂了。只有联邦政府才能做出这种程度的浪费而不受追究。大部分都是浪费。大部分都是荒唐透顶的事情在发生。
Joe RoganBecause they’ve been able to do it this way for so long. They become accustomed to it.因为他们已经这样做了太久了。他们已经习以为常。
Elon MuskI mean, it’s like Milton Friedman said, money is most poorly spent when you’re spending someone else’s money on people you don’t know. How much are you going to care? And that’s the federal government. They’re spending someone else’s money on people they don’t know.我是说，就像 Milton Friedman 说的，花别人的钱给你不认识的人，是最低效的花钱方式。你能有多在乎？这就是联邦政府。他们花的是别人的钱，给的是他们不认识的人。
Joe RoganNow imagine any other business that was this badly run that complains when you want to check the books and audit it and go through all the decisions that have been made and go through all the ledgers.现在想象一下，任何一家运营如此糟糕的企业，当你想查账、审计、梳理所有的决策、翻遍所有的账本时，它却抱怨连天。
Elon MuskWell, the people receiving the money want to keep receiving the money. The reason I’m putting so much effort into this is that I think it is a very dire situation. It’s not optional, basically. America’s gone bankrupt, so that just can’t happen.嗯，收钱的人想继续收钱。我在这件事上投入这么大精力，是因为我认为这是非常严峻的形势。基本上没有选择余地。美国要破产了，这不能发生。
Joe RoganIt’s just bizarre to me that some people aren’t willing to look at it correctly. They’re not willing to see how much chaos this is, how much waste and fraud there is, how much could be trimmed, and how just because people have jobs doing bullshit doesn’t mean your tax dollars should pay for this bullshit.让我觉得不可思议的是，有些人就是不愿意正视这件事。他们不愿意看清楚这有多混乱，有多少浪费和欺诈，有多少可以削减的空间，以及仅仅因为有人靠做无聊的事情维持工作，并不意味着你的税款就应该为这些无聊的事情买单。
Joe RoganDead People Getting Benefits死人在领福利
Elon MuskWhat we found just with a basic search of the Social Security database was that there were 20 million dead people marked as alive.我们只是对社会保障数据库做了一个基本搜索，就发现了 20 million 个死亡人员被标记为在世。
Joe RoganBut were they getting money?但他们在领钱吗？
Elon MuskSome of them were getting money.其中一些在领钱。
Joe RoganWhat percentage of them?占多少比例？
Elon MuskIt isn’t clear. We’re actually trying to run this to ground. I was trying to get an answer right before the show. What it looks like is that most of the fraud is not coming from Social Security payments directly, but because they are marked as alive in the Social Security database, they can then get disability, unemployment, fake medical payments, and other things.还不清楚。我们正在努力彻查这件事。节目开始前我就在试图搞清楚答案。目前看来，大部分欺诈并非直接来自社会保障金的支付，而是因为他们在社会保障数据库里被标记为在世，就可以进而领取残疾补贴、失业救济、虚假医疗报销以及其他款项。
Joe RoganMm-hmm.嗯。
Elon MuskSo it looks like the fraud is a bank shot, essentially. They bank shot into Social Security. They just do an “are you alive” check and then get fraudulent payments from every other part of the government.所以这个欺诈看起来是一种「借力打力」的手段。他们借道社会保障系统，只需要通过一个「你是否还活着」的检验，然后就能从政府的其他各个部门骗取虚假款项。
Joe RoganOh.哦。
Elon MuskAnd this exploits the fundamental weakness in the government—the various government databases don’t talk to each other. They talk to each other very poorly in a very limited way. So the way the system gets exploited is by taking advantage of the poor communication between the various databases in the government.这利用了政府的根本弱点——各个政府数据库之间互不相通。它们之间的交流非常有限，方式也非常差。所以系统被利用的方式，就是钻各政府数据库之间沟通不畅的空子。
Elon MuskTo give you an example of what’s happening in Treasury, which is improving rapidly, the main payments computer is called PAM, like Payment Accounts Master database or something like that. That’s responsible for almost five trillion dollars of payments a year, roughly a billion dollars an hour. And when we came there, we’re looking at the PAM, and the payments have no categorization code and no description on the payment—basically, untraceable blank checks.给你举个财政部正在发生的例子，那里现在改善得很快。主要的支付计算机叫做 PAM，类似于「支付账户主数据库」（Payment Accounts Master database）之类的名字。它负责每年将近 $5 trillion 的支付，大约每小时 $1 billion。我们去的时候，查看 PAM，发现支付记录既没有分类代码，也没有支付说明——基本上就是无从追溯的空白支票。
Elon MuskThis is the kind of thing that if it was done as a public company, the company would be immediately delisted, and the executive team would be thrown in prison. But this is just normal at the government. So we said, okay. Our recommendation to the treasury and the Federal Reserve is, we need to make the payment categorization codes mandatory, not optional. And there needs to be an explanation.这种事情如果发生在上市公司，公司会立即被摘牌，管理团队会被投进监狱。但在政府这里，这就是正常操作。所以我们说，好，我们向财政部和美联储的建议是，支付分类代码必须是强制性的，而不是可选的。而且必须要有说明。
Elon MuskWe’re not judging the quality of the explanation, but there should be some explanation for what this payment is for above nothing. That’s a radical change to the system that is being implemented now. My guess is that probably saves a hundred billion a year.我们不评判说明的质量，但这笔钱的用途应该有一些解释，而不是什么都没有。这是对系统的一个根本性改变，现在正在推行。我估计这大概每年能节省 $100 billion。
Joe RoganJesus Christ. That’s… where was that money going?我的天。这……那些钱到哪里去了？
Elon MuskRough order of magnitude. This is where you get into the sort of gray boundary between waste and fraud. If money is sent to a person or organization from the government, and you didn’t really deserve it, but the government still sent it to you, is that waste or fraud?数量级大致如此。这就是你会进入那种介于浪费和欺诈之间的灰色地带的地方。如果政府把钱打给某个人或某个机构，但他们其实并不该拿，而政府还是打过去了，这算浪费还是欺诈？
Elon MuskThere’s a lot of payments where someone just approved the payment, but then that payment officer changed jobs or retired or died, and the payments just keep going. You know, it’s like if you forget to pay your gym membership or something like that. Now imagine it’s not the gym membership. Your gym membership’s twenty billion dollars a year or something. But they forgot to turn it off. That’s happening at scale in the government.有很多笔款项，就是某个人批了这笔钱，但后来那个付款负责人换岗或者退休或者去世了，款项就一直打下去。就好比你忘了取消健身房会员资格之类的。现在想象一下，不是健身房会员资格——你的健身房会员资格是每年 $20 billion 或者什么的。但他们忘了关掉。这种事在政府里大规模地发生。
Joe RoganJesus. Nuts.老天。疯了。
Elon MuskRight. That’s what I’m saying.对，这就是我说的。
Joe RoganSo insane.太离谱了。
Elon MuskYes. It’s totally insane.是的，完全离谱。
Joe RoganSo when you went in, did you expect that would be like this?所以你进去之前，有没有预料到会是这个样子？
Elon MuskI thought it would be bad, but I did not think it would be as bad as this. The good news is that it’s a target rich environment for saving money. It’s not like if it was a very well run ship, if it’s very efficient, it would be hard to improve. But it’s not efficient, so therefore, it is actually relatively easy to improve. It’s not rocket science. I know rocket science.我以为会很糟，但没想到会糟成这样。好消息是，里面到处都是省钱的机会。如果这艘船本来就运转得很好、非常高效，那想改进就很难。但它根本不高效，所以其实相对容易改进。这不是火箭科学——我懂火箭科学。
Elon MuskIt’s a lot of mundane things. Some of the things are so crazy that we didn’t even know to ask about them because we just assumed payments out of the treasury computer would have a payment categorization code, and it would have some explanatory note saying what the payment’s for. The idea that it would be just untraceable blank checks didn’t occur to us at first.很多都是些无聊的琐事。有些事情离谱到我们根本没想到要去问，因为我们理所当然地以为，财政部电脑发出的每笔付款都会有支付分类代码，还会有说明性注释写明款项用途。一开始我们根本没想到，这些支付居然可以是完全无从追溯的空白支票。
Joe RoganJesus.天哪。
Joe RoganTrillions in Unaccounted Spending数万亿不明去向的支出
Joe RoganSo is that one of the things that accounts to this? There’s this four point something trillion dollars that’s kind of they don’t know where it went?所以这就是造成那个情况的原因之一吗？就是那笔四点几万亿美元，没人知道钱去哪儿了？
Elon MuskThat’s probably a cumulative number. Yes. If you add up…那可能是个累计数字。是的，如果你把……加起来……
Joe RoganDo you remember that story, Jamie? What was the story?你还记得那个故事吗，Jamie？是什么故事来着？
JamieYeah. What she said? There’s like, they just didn’t have accounting for it, I think.对，她说什么来着？我记得大概就是说，他们根本没有做会计记录吧。
Elon Musk“It was spent on legitimate things. Don’t worry. But we don’t know what we spent it on.” Well, obviously, one cannot say it was spent legitimately if they don’t know what it was spent on. That doesn’t make any sense."钱是花在合法的地方，别担心。但我们不知道具体花在什么上面了。" 显然，如果他们连钱花在哪儿都不知道，就没法说这钱花得合法。这根本说不通。
Joe RoganThis is such a fascinating time because with this setup, the way it is right now with Trump back in after all that happened to him and with you there and with RFK junior and Tulsi and Kash Patel. It’s like, this is a wild time to find out what’s really going on that’s never happened before.这真是个令人着迷的时代——现在这个格局，Trump 在经历了那一切之后重新回来，你也在，还有 RFK junior、Tulsi 和 Kash Patel。感觉就像，这是个绝无仅有的疯狂时刻，终于能弄清楚背后到底在发生什么。
Elon MuskThis is nothing like the first term. The first term, he had a bunch of neocons in the cabinet, and there’s a bunch of shady people that he didn’t know, and he had to appoint all these different people. Maybe he got some bad picks. Now he’s had four years to stew on it.这和第一个任期完全不一样。第一个任期，内阁里塞满了新保守主义者，还有一堆他根本不了解的来路不明的人，他不得不任命各种各样的人，可能有些人选确实没选好。现在他有了四年时间反复琢磨。
Joe RoganAnd with you guys all going through this, we’re getting an understanding of the government that we’ve literally never had before.而且通过你们这些人经历这一切，我们对政府的了解达到了前所未有的深度。
Elon MuskYeah. This is a revolutionary cabinet and maybe the most revolutionary cabinet since the first revolution. This is not a bunch of business as usual types. So this is why some of the senate confirmations are quite challenging is because when you try to appoint people who are going to change the system, the system doesn’t want to let them through.是的。这是一届革命性的内阁，可能是自第一次革命以来最具革命性的内阁。这不是一帮因循守旧的人。这也是为什么一些参议院确认听证会非常艰难——当你试图任命那些要改变体制的人时，体制本身不想让他们通过。
Elon MuskBut it’s fascinating because it’s like the vampires all out themselves. Like, now everybody knows who the system is.但这很有意思，就像吸血鬼纷纷自我暴露一样。现在所有人都知道这个体制是谁了。
Elon MuskMedia Narratives vs. Reality媒体叙事与现实
Joe RoganLike, if you’re just lying openly about USAID, and then they come and hear you talk on a podcast and explain what’s really going on. “He’s starving mothers. There’s mothers that can’t get food.” Totally false. That’s all you’re hearing. No one’s talking in any of these mainstream liberal talk shows. No one is talking about all this fraud and waste.就比如，他们公开撒谎说 USAID 的事，然后人们来听你在播客上解释真实情况。"他在饿死母亲，有妈妈们得不到食物。" 完全是假的。你听到的全是这种东西。那些主流自由派脱口秀没有一个在谈这些欺诈和浪费。
Elon MuskBecause we’re cutting off their graft machine. So that’s what they’re upset about. That’s the real thing they’re upset about. And if you want to know what DOGE is cutting—and I want to be clear, these are cuts that DOGE recommends to the department, and usually, these recommendations are followed, but these are recommendations that are then confirmed by the department—you can see line by line what DOGE has done at DOGE.gov.因为我们在切断他们的腐败机器。这才是他们真正愤怒的原因，这才是实质。如果你想知道 DOGE 在砍什么——我要说清楚，这些是 DOGE 向各部门提出的建议，通常这些建议会被采纳，但这些建议最终由各部门确认执行——你可以在 DOGE.gov 上逐行查看 DOGE 所做的一切。
Elon MuskWhatever we do, we put on DOGE.gov so you can see everything that is being done. And there’s a tracker that shows…我们所做的一切都放在 DOGE.gov 上，你可以看到所有在做的事情。上面有一个追踪器，显示……
Joe RoganIs it how much money has been saved?是显示节省了多少钱吗？
Elon MuskYeah. And you can look at each line item. A bunch of these fallout shows will say, “Oh, it’s a constitutional crisis. Blah blah blah.” But what they won’t do is point out which payments are wrong.对。你可以查看每一个条目。那些乱说话的节目会说，"哦，这是宪政危机，balabala。" 但他们不会去指出哪些付款是错的。
Elon MuskSo my challenge to them is point out which payments are wrong. Go through it. Which of these waste/fraud things are wrong? Which line? Explain that line to the public. They won’t be able to.所以我的挑战是：指出哪些付款是错的。把它翻一遍。这些浪费、欺诈的条目里，哪一条是错的？哪一行？向公众解释那一行。他们做不到。
Joe RoganYeah. That’s why you’re not hearing any specifics. You’re hearing anecdotes, stories about mothers, daughters.对，所以你听不到任何具体内容，你听到的全是轶事，关于母亲、女儿的故事。
Elon MuskName the specifics line by line. We got the receipts. And here’s the other thing. If you’re only talking about the propaganda talking points and you’re not talking about the very clear fraud and waste, it’s very obvious what you’re doing. You’re just gaslighting.逐行说出具体内容。我们有凭据。还有一件事——如果你只会重复那些宣传口号，却对明摆着的欺诈和浪费只字不提，你在干什么已经昭然若揭了。你就是在煤气灯操控。
Joe RoganTotally.完全同意。
Elon MuskIn fact, I’ve said we’re going to make mistakes. We’re not going to be perfect. So if we make a mistake, we’ll quickly fix it. We need to act fast to stop wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money. But if we make a mistake, we’ll reverse it quickly.其实我已经说了，我们会犯错，我们不会是完美的。所以如果犯了错，我们会迅速纠正。我们需要快速行动来阻止数十亿美元纳税人的钱被浪费。但如果犯了错，我们会快速撤回。
Joe RoganThere’s also this interesting narrative that you shouldn’t have access to the Social Security information as if no one’s had access to it before. The Biden administration in 2023 had like fifty-three people, some of them were students, that had access to all this stuff.还有一个有意思的说法，说你不应该有权访问社会安全信息——好像以前没有人有权访问一样。Biden 政府在 2023 年有大约 53 个人，其中有些还是学生，他们都有权访问这些东西。
Elon MuskYeah. As it is, there are tens of thousands of federal employees that already have access to the system. Anyone from DOGE has to go through the same vetting process that those federal employees went through. So it’s not like some unvetted random situation. If there’s a security clearance needed, the DOGE person has to have that same security clearance.是的，事实上，现在已经有数万名联邦雇员可以访问这个系统。来自 DOGE 的任何人都必须经过和那些联邦雇员相同的审查程序。所以这不是什么未经审查的随意情况。如果需要安全许可，DOGE 的人必须拥有同等级别的安全许可。
Elon MuskThere’s no reduction in security. The vast numbers of Social Security numbers have leaked onto the Internet. People have hacked the government systems multiple times. Vast amounts of public information has been hacked. And there’s a guy at the IRS that leaked a half a million tax returns just a few years ago.安全性没有任何降低。大量社会安全号码早就泄露到网上了，政府系统已经被黑客攻击过多次，海量的公开信息都被黑了。就在几年前，国税局有个人泄露了五十万份纳税申报表。
Joe RoganOn purpose? For what reason?是故意的吗？出于什么目的？
Elon MuskFor political reasons. I think he was trying to get Trump and maybe me and a few others. But he leaked like five hundred thousand tax returns.出于政治目的。我觉得他是想搞 Trump，可能还想搞我和其他几个人。但他泄露了大概五十万份纳税申报表。
Joe RoganJesus Christ.我的天哪。
Elon MuskYou can read about it online. It’s a real thing.你可以在网上查到，这是真实发生过的事。
Joe RoganSo these are the narratives. That’s the narrative that you shouldn’t have access to Social Security. The other narrative is that starving people are going to die, and women aren’t going to be pregnant and not have nutrients for their babies. And that’s all you’re hearing.所以这些都是叙事——说你不应该有权访问社会安全信息，以及说人们会饿死、孕妇得不到营养——这些就是你听到的全部内容。
Elon MuskWell, that’s the only thing they can say, but they can’t point to the line item. They can’t say, “Well, this is the thing where the nutrients for pregnant mothers were stopped.” They can’t point to that because we didn’t. It’s a lie.嗯，这是他们唯一能说的，但他们没法指出具体条目。他们没法说，"好，这里是停止给孕妇提供营养的那一条。" 他们指不出来，因为我们根本没有这么做。这是谎言。
Elon MuskMedia Bias and Alternate Realities媒体偏见与平行现实
Joe RoganWhat’s fascinating to me is how much the mainstream media is in line with the very specific talking points and how little—you essentially have Fox News on television. It’s like the only one that is pointing out the ridiculous fraud and waste. You know, I know as you saw the Jeff Bezos thing in the Washington Post, they’re going to stop all the wacky editorials and limit that stuff to I think it was wealth and personal freedom or something along those lines.让我觉得着迷的是，主流媒体在这些非常具体的口径上保持高度一致，却几乎……你实际上只有电视上的 Fox News，它是唯一一个在指出那些荒唐的欺诈和浪费的。你知道我看到了 Jeff Bezos 和《华盛顿邮报》的事，他们打算停止所有奇怪的社论，把那些内容限制在我记得好像是财富和个人自由之类的领域。
Elon MuskYeah. I think it makes sense, because he’s just talking about the opinions. The opinion pieces. The regular journalism stays the same.是的，我觉得有道理，因为他说的是观点类内容——是评论文章。常规新闻报道不变。
Joe RoganWell, it’s a detriment to their business. I mean, you’re seeing over and over again people that just don’t want to hear all this from these people anymore. It’s almost like you’re caught in an outdated version of the virus, and everybody else already has the immunity to that virus. Like, you need a new mind virus. The one that you’re pushing doesn’t work anymore. It’s too crazy.这对他们的生意来说是个损害。你一次又一次地看到，人们再也不想从那些地方听到这些东西了。感觉就像你被困在一个过时版本的病毒里，其他人都已经对这个病毒产生了免疫。你需要一个新的思维病毒了，你在传播的那个已经不奏效了，太离谱了。
Elon MuskThe whole thing is very crazy. The media is incredibly partisan. Almost all the media is left shifted. It’s kind of weird. If you talk to somebody who gets their information from what I call legacy media, they’re living in a different world than if they are listening to your podcast or getting the news from X. It’s kind of wild.整件事都非常疯狂。媒体极度党派化，几乎所有媒体都向左倾斜，这很奇怪。如果你跟一个从我所说的传统媒体获取信息的人交谈，他们生活在一个与听你播客或从 X 获取新闻的人完全不同的世界里。真的很神奇。
Joe RoganIt is very wild. It’s like they’re living in an alternate reality.真的很神奇。就像他们活在一个平行现实里。
Elon MuskOh, there’s a lot of people that I talk to that I have to go, “Where did you hear that?”哦，我跟很多人交谈，都不得不问："你是从哪儿听到这个的？"
Elon MuskFalse Reporting and DEI Issues虚假报道与 DEI 问题
Elon MuskThe Associated Press, which I call Associated Propaganda, the AP, ran an international news story saying that DOGE fired air traffic controllers, but we didn’t fire any air traffic controllers at all. In fact, we’re trying to hire air traffic controllers, not fire them.美联社——我叫它"美联宣传"——AP 发了一篇国际新闻报道，说 DOGE 解雇了空中交通管制员，但我们根本没有解雇任何空中交通管制员。事实上，我们是在努力招募空中交通管制员，而不是解雇他们。
Joe RoganI saw that. You made a post about it.我看到了，你发了一条帖子说这件事。
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Joe RoganWhat do you call it now? Do you call it a post?你现在怎么叫它？你叫它帖子（post）吗？
Elon MuskPost. Yeah. Whatever. You can’t call it a tweet, though.帖子，对，随便叫。但不能叫推文（tweet）了。
Joe RoganDo you call it a tweet by accident, like, ever?你有没有不小心还叫它推文的时候？
Elon MuskI don’t know. But like, if somebody puts up a two-hour long video, that’s not a tweet. It’s a post. But if people still want to call it a tweet, whatever.不知道。不过就像，如果有人发了一段两小时的视频，那不叫推文，叫帖子。但如果人们还是想叫它推文，随便。
Joe RoganYou put a post about it just to get back to it saying that if you’re a highly qualified air traffic controller and if you retired, if you would consider doing it again, we could use you.你发了一条帖子说，如果你是资质很高的空中交通管制员，如果你已经退休了，如果你愿意考虑重新上岗，我们可以用你。
Elon MuskYes. A lot of really qualified air traffic controllers were pushed out because of DEI stuff. To be blunt, a bunch of really good, talented, old white guys were pushed out. It’s not cool. And so we have a talent shortage in air traffic control because of DEI and not hiring people on merit.是的。很多非常优秀的空中交通管制员因为 DEI 的关系被挤出去了。直说吧，一堆真正优秀、有才能的老白人被赶走了。这不对。所以我们现在空中交通管制员短缺，就是因为 DEI，因为不按能力择人。
Elon MuskWhich is so crazy. We should not put the public safety at risk because of some demented philosophy.这实在太疯狂了。我们不应该因为某种扭曲的意识形态而拿公众安全去冒险。
Joe RoganSomebody made a post today about it infiltrating the NSA. Did you see any of that? That was some gnarly stuff.今天有人发了一条帖子说这东西已经渗透到 NSA 了。你看到了吗？那内容真的很吓人。
Joe RoganYeah. Crazy. What they had – it started off as just like this sort of fringe thing, and people would beat up, then it completely infiltrated the organization.是啊，太疯狂了。它一开始只是一种边缘性的东西，人们会受到攻击，然后它完全渗透进了整个组织。
Elon MuskYeah. And they’re spending all their time. It’s like four hundred people or something in some chat sex chat room with extremely demented stuff. I know I sent it. I’ll send it to you, Jeremy, because it’s so kooky.对。而且他们把所有时间都花在上面。好像是有四百多个人或什么的，在某个聊天室里搞性爱聊天，内容极度变态。我知道我发过这个，我来把它发给你，Jeremy，因为实在太离奇了。
Joe RoganThis is the NSA? I thought the NSA was just all about information, hardcore business. Spy on you know, like, if there’s a national threat or something.这是 NSA？我以为 NSA 只搞信息情报，做的是铁硬的业务——监视，你知道，什么国家威胁之类的。
Elon MuskI think this is exactly it. So more than a hundred intelligence staffers will be fired over sexually explicit texts in NSA chat rooms, Gabbard says. A top intelligence official told Waters that the workers in question were brazen and using an NSA platform intended for professional use to conduct this kind of really horrific behavior.我觉得就是这个。消息说：超过一百名情报人员将因在 NSA 聊天室发布色情露骨内容而被解雇，Gabbard 如是说。一位高级情报官员告诉 Waters，涉事员工行为嚣张，在一个本应用于专业目的的 NSA 平台上实施了这种真正令人发指的行为。
Joe RoganWhat is the behavior? What exactly is it? Did they say in this article?这究竟是什么行为？文章里具体说了什么？
Elon MuskIt says employees who participated in the NSA’s obscene pornographic and sexually explicit chat rooms. Your tax dollars at work? It was all DEI stuff. It was all LGBTQ stuff. There was a lot of transition stuff. I definitely saved it, but the point is they infiltrated the organization. That’s not what they should be talking about. At all.说的是参与 NSA 内部淫秽色情和性露骨聊天室的员工。你的税款在为这些买单？全都是 DEI 那套，全都是 LGBTQ 的内容，有大量性别转换的内容。我肯定存了这个，重点是他们已经渗透进了这个组织。这根本不是他们该聊的东西，完全不是。
Joe RoganThey’re supposed to be protecting the country.他们本应该在保护这个国家。
Elon MuskYeah. And people are talking about how they’re spending half their time in these meetings and that they’re just constantly having to attend these things where they talk about these issues. Like, what are you doing? If you have a problem with someone that’s discriminatory, get rid of that person. That’s it. Problem’s over.对。有人说他们把一半时间花在这些会议上，不停地被要求参加讨论这些议题的会议。你在干什么？如果有人存在歧视行为，把那个人开除就行了。就这样，问题解决了。
Joe RoganYou’ve got someone who’s homophobic in your business, they’re openly homophobic, you can’t work here. You’re just not cool. That’s it. You don’t have to have meetings constantly promoting this. You’re not going to change someone’s opinion by berating them over and over again.如果你公司里有人公开表现出恐同情绪，你就直接说，你不能在这里工作。就这样。你不必不停地开会去推广这些。反复斥责不会改变一个人的观点。
Elon MuskI mean, a work environment should be a professional environment where they’re getting the job done that they’re being paid to do. It’s obviously not supposed to be getting paid for bizarre sex escapades.工作环境应该是专业的，员工要做他们被雇来做的工作。显然不是被雇来搞奇怪的性爱活动的。
Joe RoganIt’s just so fascinating that the virus is so strong that it made it into the NSA.真的很令人着迷，这个思维病毒的力量之强，居然连 NSA 都渗透进去了。
Elon MuskYes. And you would think those are some hardcore people too. I think the CIA was in there too.是的。你还以为那些人都是铁打的硬汉呢。我想 CIA 里面也有这些。
Joe RoganThey were in there too, which is bananas. You would think. Same thing. Hard-nosed, tough people doing hard work. Who spy on you whenever they want.他们也在里面，真是难以置信。你本来以为，一样的，都是铁面无情、埋头苦干的硬汉，专门想监视你的那种人。
Elon MuskYeah. And get revenge on you whenever they want.对，想什么时候报复你就什么时候报复你。
Joe RoganPretty wild.真是太疯狂了。
Elon MuskAnd, you know, they exist when the president leaves. They stay. People move around. You stay a part of the organization for your entire career. You get deeply entrenched in their system and how things work and who’s back to rub and who’s a bad guy, who’s a good guy, who’s on our side, who’s not.而且你知道，总统换了人，他们还在。人来人往，但你可以在这个组织里干上整个职业生涯。你深深地嵌入那个系统，了解运作方式，知道该跟谁搞好关系，谁是坏人，谁是好人，谁是自己人，谁不是。
Joe RoganIt’s scary, actually.这其实挺可怕的。
Joe RoganThe Epstein Files ControversyEpstein 档案争议
Joe RoganSo was that what’s taken so long with this Epstein files? What’s up with that?那么 Epstein 档案拖了这么久，是怎么回事？
Elon MuskIt’s like Lucy and the football with Charlie Brown when she always pulls that football away. It’s the same thing. They keep telling us they’re going to release it day one. Oh, day one.就像 Charlie Brown 里面 Lucy 每次都把足球抽走一样。完全一样。他们一直说要在第一天就公布，哦，第一天。
Joe RoganSerious case of no one’s being arrested. Well, there’s also – like, what is going on?严肃地说，没有人被逮捕。还有就是——到底怎么了？
Elon MuskAlso, there’s this real fear that someone’s destroying the evidence. And you keep hearing these stories, unsubstantiated stories of FBI people destroying evidence. I mean, the guy had tons of videos and recordings.而且还有一种真实的担忧，就是有人在销毁证据。你不断听到这些关于 FBI 人员销毁证据的故事——虽然未经证实，但 Epstein 手上有大量视频和录音。
Joe RoganHe had all sorts of things. It’s a mountain of evidence. So where is that mountain?他手上有各种各样的东西，是一座证据的山。那座山在哪儿？
Elon MuskWhere is that mountain? And what would be the reason why they would agree? There would have to be something in it for them to agree to not put it out. Like, there has to be some sort of financial entanglement, some sort of relationship with the people that are on that list that they can provide a value that was big enough for you to not release it or to slow release it or to hope you can get away with putting out some redacted files that don’t show anything.那座山在哪儿？他们为什么会同意不公布？这其中必然有他们的利益所在——必然存在某种财务纠葛，或者与那份名单上的人有某种关系，那些人能提供足够大的价值，大到让你选择不公布，或者慢慢放出来，或者寄希望于用经过大量删改、什么都看不出来的文件蒙混过关。
Joe RoganThis is only stage one. Redacted. Only stage one. Don’t worry. The real stuff’s coming. That doesn’t make any sense. Why wouldn’t you just release it all? What could possibly be protecting in there?这只是第一阶段，打了马赛克，只有第一阶段，别担心，真正的东西还在后面。这根本说不通。为什么不直接全放出来？里面究竟在保护什么？
Elon MuskI think I’ve got probably the same information – I’m just reading what’s the latest thing on X. It’s a real page turner. I thought we were going to get some revelations today. Big binders full of stuff. There’s gotta be something in there.我想我掌握的信息大概和其他人一样——我也只是在 X 上看最新的动态。真是个令人欲罢不能的故事。我以为今天能等到什么大料，大厚本的一堆材料。里面肯定有什么东西。
Joe RoganWell, there were all those people that were given a copy of it, they were all waving it around like they got the Willy Wonka ticket.是啊，那些拿到文件的人，个个都举着它到处炫，就像拿到了 Willy Wonka 的金奖券一样。
Elon MuskYeah. Totally. And what happened? Nothing.对，然后呢？什么都没有。
Joe RoganNothing. So I think Laura Loomer released it online, right?什么都没有。我记得 Laura Loomer 把它发到网上了，对吗？
Elon MuskShe’s not very pleased about this.她对这件事非常不满意。
Joe RoganSo does anybody find anything in there that’s interesting?那有没有人在里面找到什么有意思的东西？
Elon MuskNo. It’s all old stuff from 2015 until 2020.没有，全是 2015 年到 2020 年的旧东西。
Joe RoganWhat is going on? But apparently, they discovered a whole bunch of stuff at the Southern District of New York. I think Pam Bondi is actually great and Cash Patel are great, but they just got there.这到底怎么回事？不过显然，他们在纽约南区发现了一大批东西。我觉得 Pam Bondi 确实很厉害，Cash Patel 也很厉害，但他们刚刚上任。
Elon MuskRight. So they just got there, but they’re in a hostile environment. They’re not in a friendly environment. It’s like if you suddenly got put in as captain of a ship, but the crew was previously your enemy. The entire crew was previously your enemy. And you’re telling them, give me evidence. The crew doesn’t want to give you the evidence. They were like your mortal enemies just a moment ago. You just got there.对，他们刚到那儿，但那是一个充满敌意的环境，不是友好的环境。就好像你突然被任命为一艘船的船长，但船上的水手之前都是你的敌人，整船人之前全都是你的对头。你让他们给你提供证据，但船员们不想给你。他们就在刚才还是你的死敌。你才刚到那儿。
Elon MuskSo I think we gotta give the attorney general and new director of the FBI a little bit of slack here because they literally just got there.所以我觉得我们得给司法部长和新任 FBI 局长一点时间，因为他们字面意义上才刚到。
Joe RoganI think so too. But don’t say you’re going to release it on day one then. You shouldn’t have said that. And don’t say you got a big drop coming tomorrow, and that’s some bullshit that’s been around forever. It’s disappointing.我也这么认为。但那就不要说你会在第一天公布了。那句话就不该说。也不要说明天有大料，那种话说了是不是也就是老一套废话。太令人失望了。
Joe RoganJFK Files and Government TransparencyJFK 档案与政府透明度
Joe RoganAnd where’s the JFK files? Where are those? Let them go. Did they release anything on that front?JFK 档案在哪？那些档案呢？就让它们出来吧。在那方面他们有没有放出什么？
Elon MuskI don’t know what’s going on. There’s nothing that’s gotten to me yet. So nothing’s gotten to me yet. It can’t be significant. If there’s conspiracy evidence, someone’s gonna send it to us. Tim Dillon’s gonna text me.我不知道在发生什么。到目前为止什么都没传到我这儿。既然什么都没传到我这儿，那应该就没什么重要的。如果有阴谋的证据，总会有人发给我们的。Tim Dillon 会给我发短信的。
Joe RoganOne hundred percent. Tim Dillon, Dave Smith, someone’s gonna send it to me.百分之百。Tim Dillon、Dave Smith，总有人会发给我的。
Elon MuskSend you the stuff. So it hasn’t been released yet. There’s no way.发给你那些东西。所以它还没有放出来，绝对没有。
Joe RoganYou would find out. And here’s the real question. What could even be in there at this point that they haven’t cleared out? If you’ve got paperwork from 1963, what is in there still? What is in there that could possibly be incriminating that supposedly Trump said that if you saw what they showed me, you wouldn’t release it either? What is that?你肯定会知道的。而且这里有个真正的问题：到了这个时候，里面还能有什么是他们没有清理掉的？如果你有 1963 年的文件，里面还有什么？里面还有什么是可能让人担责的，据说 Trump 说过"如果你看到他们给我看的那些东西，你也不会公布"——那到底是什么？
Elon MuskI haven’t seen it. Cash Patel says he’s seen it all.我没看过。Cash Patel 说他全看过了。
Joe RoganCan he just post it to his X account or something?他能不能就发到他的 X 账号上或者什么地方？
Elon MuskI don’t think he can. I mean, he’s director of the FBI. I think he has to go through proper channels.我觉得他不能。他是 FBI 局长，我觉得他必须走正规渠道。
Joe RoganDoes he? He has the channel.是吗？他自己就是渠道啊。
Elon MuskBut there’s rules.但有规则。
Joe RoganSounds like Trump. He needs an executive order. What about the storm? I am the storm. What channels? He has the channel.听起来就像 Trump 那样，需要一道行政令。什么风暴？我就是那场风暴。什么渠道？他自己就是渠道。
Elon MuskWell, again, imagine just getting to the deck of the ship, and you’re the captain. And now you have to figure out who’s running things, who’s doing this, where is everything. Just getting anything done. Like I said, you just joined as captain of a ship where the crew hates your guts. They were your enemy.好吧，再想想——假设你刚登上那艘船的甲板，你是船长，然后你得弄清楚谁在管什么，谁在做什么，东西在哪儿。就是要把任何事情推进下去。就像我说的，你刚刚加入一艘船当船长，但整船水手都恨你入骨，他们是你的敌人。
Joe RoganThey were your enemy.他们是你的敌人。
Elon MuskThey’re strongly opposed to anything you want to do. And you’re trying to give them orders. And you’re trying to expose them. They don’t want to be exposed.他们强烈反对你想做的一切。你试图发号施令，你试图把他们的问题曝光，但他们不想被曝光。
Joe RoganPeople that are working there are probably a part of this problem. I was reading on X that Comey’s daughter is the lead prosecutor in the Southern District of New York.在那里工作的人很可能本身就是问题的一部分。我在 X 上看到有人说，Comey 的女儿是纽约南区的首席检察官。
Elon MuskDid you read that? Yes. So obviously, there’s a bit of an entanglement there.你看到了吗？是的。所以显然，那里存在一点利益纠葛。
Joe RoganA little bit. Like, what if there’s something that puts her dad in a bad light?多少有一点。万一里面有什么东西会让她父亲显得很难看呢？
Elon MuskExactly. The shredder’s working overtime.正是。碎纸机正在加班加点地转。
Joe RoganDid you see General Flynn? He was on a podcast, and he spoke directly to James Comey. And he said, “Jim, you’re going to jail. And unless you give up someone deeper than you and you know who that is, you know who I’m talking about?” That is wild. To think that the former director of the FBI might be really in that kind of deep trouble, and that he really actually was doing some evil corrupt stuff while he was running the FBI?你有没有看到 General Flynn？他上了一个播客，直接对着 James Comey 说话："Jim，你会进监狱的。除非你交出一个比你更高层的人——你知道我在说谁，你很清楚我在说谁。" 这真的很疯狂。想想前 FBI 局长可能真的陷入了那种深度的麻烦，他在执掌 FBI 期间真的做了一些邪恶腐败的事？
Elon MuskIt seems like there’s some very shady stuff that’s been going on. It seems like it definitely happened in the sixties. Everybody kind of admits to that.看起来确实有一些非常见不得光的事在发生。似乎六十年代肯定发生过，这一点大家都承认。
Joe RoganThey admit the FBI killed Black Panthers. They did a lot of stuff. There’s a lot of stuff that went on that we know the government did way back in the day.他们承认 FBI 杀害了黑豹党成员。他们做了很多事。有很多我们都知道的、政府过去干过的事情。
Elon MuskWhy don’t we just data dump the files? Just go in there, take photos of all the papers, presumably paper, and just post it online and let the chips fall where they may. Isn’t presumably everyone involved dead?为什么我们不直接把文件全部数据倾倒出来？直接进去，把所有文件拍照——大概是纸质的——然后发到网上，让该发生的发生。里面涉及的人应该都死了吧？
Joe RoganSome filing cabinet somewhere? Where is it? Where’s the magic filing cabinet? How are they hiding it? Who’s got access to it? This is what I was hoping. Day one, I was hoping. But, obviously, it’s taking a lot longer than that.在某个地方的某个文件柜里？在哪儿？那个神奇的文件柜在哪儿？他们是怎么藏起来的？谁有权限访问？这就是我希望看到的。第一天，我本来希望看到。但显然这需要比那长得多的时间。
Elon MuskI think part of it is, let’s say you were made director of the FBI.我觉得部分原因在于，假设你被任命为 FBI 局长……
Joe RoganI might be able to.我也许有这个可能。
Elon MuskBut literally, you go there. Gino, what’s he doing now? He’s one of the big dogs of the FBI.但你真的去了那儿。Gino，他现在在干嘛？他是 FBI 的高层之一。
Joe RoganDan’s big Secret Service guy. Legit guy. But people think of him as the Fox News guy. Just like Pete Hegseth, same thing. They don’t want to think about his distinguished military career. They want to say, “Oh, that Fox News guy?”Dan 是大人物，Secret Service 的人。是个货真价实的人。但人们把他看成 Fox News 的人。就像 Pete Hegseth 一样，一回事。他们不愿意想到他杰出的军旅生涯，只想着"哦，那个 Fox News 上的人？"
Elon MuskDeputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I mean, Dan’s hardcore. If it’s reasonably findable, I think he’s going to find it.联邦调查局副局长。Dan 是非常厉害的人。如果那东西能找到的话，我觉得他会找到的。
Joe RoganBetween him and Cash, I think they’re going to get stuff out there. How crazy would it be if they couldn’t, though? If it’s that – if everybody shuts their mouths and everybody covers their ass.有他和 Cash 在，我觉得他们能把东西搞出来。但如果他们做不到，那可就太疯狂了——如果所有人都闭嘴、都捂住自己的屁股。
Elon MuskLike an FBI computer where you type in the search? That’s what I wonder – what’s the basic mechanism here? It’s either in a filing cabinet on paper where maybe there’s progressive levels of security. You open this door up. You gotta have the pass for this level. You get a level unlocked, and there’s another level unlocked. And you’re in there, and there’s a little walk, and finally there’s an unseen laptop. You gotta only plug it in. It’s in a SCIF.就像一台 FBI 的电脑，你在上面打字搜索？这就是我想知道的——基本机制是什么？要么是存在文件柜里的纸质文件，可能有层层安全级别——你打开这扇门，得有这个级别的通行证，解锁这一层，还有下一层，你进去里面，走过一条小走廊，最后有一台没人见过的笔记本电脑，你得自己插上电，它在一个 SCIF 里。
Joe RoganThis is why I think a tour of Fort Knox would be awesome. Like, a live tour of Fort Knox, we can actually see if the gold is there or not? They say it is. Is it real, or is somebody spray painting some lead?这就是为什么我觉得参观 Fort Knox 会非常精彩——比如来一次 Fort Knox 的现场直播参观，看看里面的黄金到底还在不在？他们说是在的，但是真的吗？还是说有人在给铅块喷金漆？
Elon MuskImagine if it’s not. Imagine if it’s not all there. Like, some of it’s missing.想象一下如果不在。想象一下如果它没有全部在那里——比如有一些不见了。
Joe RoganWhere’d it go? What if a lot of it’s missing? What if half of it’s missing? How do we even know?那金子去哪了？如果少了很多呢？如果少了一半呢？我们怎么知道？
Elon MuskThey said the last time they let someone look at it was decades ago.他们说上一次让人查看里面的东西是几十年前的事了。
Joe RoganWell, the last formal audit was in the fifties. So I’m like, okay.嗯，上一次正式审计是在五十年代，所以我的感觉就是，好吧……
Elon MuskOh my goodness. Just think about all the other things that could be happening. Think about all the other stuff that you pointed out, all the checks that just go out, the NGO payments, the Social Security people. Think about all that.天哪。想想所有其他可能正在发生的事情。想想你指出的所有那些东西——那些发出去的支票，支付给 NGO 的款项，社会安全那边的人。把这些都想一想。
Elon MuskThe Government’s Financial Mismanagement政府的财务失控
Joe RoganNow apply that to the gold.现在把这个逻辑套到黄金上。
Elon MuskAbsolutely. I just want to emphasize the sheer madness of the government. It’s because they have mad magic money computers that the checks never bounce through the federal government. You don’t have the normal corrective mechanism that you’d have for a company or for an individual.当然。我只想强调政府的绝对疯狂程度。因为他们有那台神奇的印钞机，联邦政府发出的支票从来不会跳票。你没有在公司或个人层面本应存在的那种自我纠正机制。
Elon MuskThe checks always clear. The net result is inflation, which is effectively a tax on everyone. But, you know, the defense department hasn’t passed an audit in I don’t know how many years.支票永远会兑现。最终结果就是通货膨胀，这实际上是对所有人征收的一种税。而且你知道，国防部我不知道多少年都没通过审计了。
Joe RoganSeven years.七年。
Elon MuskExactly. So it’s like you’d have to be Chuck Norris to get the Defense Department to pass an audit, you know? That’s the level of skill you need.正是。所以让国防部通过审计，得有 Chuck Norris 那样的水平才行。那才是你需要的能力级别。
Joe RoganWell, that’s what’s so insane if you bring it back to the idea that it’s a business.这就是为什么，如果把它类比成一家企业，就会显得多么荒谬。
Elon MuskThis would never be tolerated in any kind of functional business. The Pentagon’s accounting error, the stuff that they lose in the couch cushions is like twenty, thirty billion dollars a year. They just don’t know where it went. It’s gone. Where’d it go? It’s gone. It’s so insane.这在任何一家正常运转的企业里都是绝对不能容忍的。五角大楼的会计误差，他们从沙发缝里漏掉的钱，大概每年是二三百亿美元，他们就是不知道钱去哪儿了。没了。去哪儿了？没了。太荒谬了。
Elon MuskThat’s why I said, even simple things, like requiring that outgoing payments for the treasury computer have a payment code and a comment of what the payment is about and someone to call about the payment, I think will have a very powerful effect in stopping wasteful outflows and stopping fraud.这就是为什么我说，哪怕只是做一些简单的事，比如要求财政部电脑发出的每笔付款都必须有支付代码，并附上一条说明这笔钱是干什么用的、以及联系人信息的注释，我觉得这就会对遏制浪费性支出和阻止欺诈产生非常强大的效果。
Elon MuskThe Potential for Corruption腐败的潜在规模
Joe RoganAnd here’s another way to look at this. Imagine if someone like you and the DOGE team are out there in the world. Imagine if one of those works for an organization like USAID or any other organization and has this understanding of how much corruption is involved, but they have evil intentions. And they’re entwined in this system for decades and decades, and they’ve built a career and all the entanglements that come in, and they start moving things around. You could probably do it easily. It sounds like the way you’ve laid it out. If you were a career person—还有另一种角度来看这件事。想象一下，如果像你和 DOGE 团队这样的人存在于这个世界里——想象一下，其中有人供职于 USAID 或其他任何机构，同样深刻了解腐败的程度，但他们的动机是邪恶的。他们在这个体制里盘根错节数十年，建立了一套职业关系网和各种纠葛，然后开始挪移资金——从你描述的情况来看，这简直易如反掌。如果你是个长期在里面的人——
Elon MuskYep.是的。
Joe RoganWho’s in there forever, who knew how everything works—在那儿待了一辈子、把每件事都了如指掌的人——
Elon MuskYep.是的。
Joe RoganAnd you were very clever, you could make some things happen. And you could probably do it in conjunction with some people that you know that are forming an NGO. “Hey. Let’s all work together.”如果你足够聪明，你就能让事情发生。而且你大概可以联合你认识的正在成立 NGO 的人一起干。"嘿，咱们合作。"
Elon MuskYeah. And this is the resistance that you’re facing.对，这就是你正在面对的阻力。
Joe RoganThe—那……
Elon MuskI think it’s the biggest scam of all time.我觉得这是有史以来最大的骗局。
Joe RoganThis is not something you ever sought out to do.这根本不是你主动寻求去做的事。
Elon MuskThe biggest scam ever. Of human history.有史以来最大的骗局。人类历史上的。
Joe RoganOf human history?人类历史上的？
Elon MuskYes.是的。
Joe RoganWow. I think you’re right.哇，我觉得你说得对。
Elon MuskI think how—what else could be? There’s never been a trillion dollar scam.我想，还能有什么别的？历史上从未出现过万亿级别的骗局。
Elon MuskThe DOGE Origin StoryDOGE 的起源故事
Joe RoganNow this is not something that you ever set out to do. This is not—you didn’t have this as a career aspiration.而且这根本不是你从一开始就打算做的事。这不是——你并没有把这个作为职业理想。
Elon MuskThis is the most absurd outcome I can possibly imagine, actually. Also, Doge started as a sort of a meme coin. It was like a joke cryptocurrency involving memes and dogs.这是我能想象到的最荒诞不经的结果，真的。而且，Doge 最初是一种迷因币——是一种把梗图和狗结合起来的玩笑加密货币。
Joe RoganWhich is so funny that the letters wind up being perfect.太有意思了，这几个字母组合起来恰好完美贴合。
Elon MuskWell, actually, I was originally going to call it the government efficiency commission, which is a very boring name. And then people online were like, “No. It needs to be the Department of Government Efficiency.” And I was like, you know what? You’re right.其实一开始我打算叫它政府效率委员会（the government efficiency commission），这个名字非常无聊。然后网上的人说，"不对，得叫政府效率部（the Department of Government Efficiency）。" 我一想，你说的对。
Joe RoganOf course. Of course. I mean, it’s more evidence of the simulation.当然。当然。这更像是模拟现实的又一证据。
Elon MuskTotally. That little Shiba Inu. Our mascot is a cute dog. And it’s a meme coin.完全是。那只小柴犬。我们的吉祥物是一只可爱的狗。而且它是个 meme 币。
Joe RoganThe meme coin’s probably worth a lot of money right now. Right? Every time you tweet about it—这个 meme 币现在应该值不少钱吧？每次你发推文提到它——
Elon MuskProbably. I don’t know.大概吧。我也不太清楚。
Joe RoganShoots up. The whole meme coin thing is—it is so bananas that people dump real money into these coins, and then you could just pump them up and sell them.蹭噌就涨。整个 meme 币这件事简直荒唐——人们把真金白银砸进去，然后你随便就能把价格拉高再抛出去。
Elon MuskCasino or something. I don’t know. It’s totally gambling. Just do whatever the greater fool theory and musical chairs and whoever’s the last to sit down loses type of thing.就像赌场之类的东西。我也说不准。完全就是赌博。完全是博傻理论加音乐椅，谁最后一个坐下谁输。
Joe RoganAnd somehow or another, it’s still legal.而且不知怎么回事，这还是合法的。
Elon MuskThe thing is, I think it’s sort of like you go to the casino—if you expect to win at the casino, you’re being a fool. So I think if you expect to win at meme coins, you’re being foolish. But if you want to have some fun, you can gamble a little, and you can ride waves and win a little and lose a little. Play with meme coins. But if you put your family—问题是，我觉得这就像去赌场——如果你指望在赌场赢钱，那你就是个蠢货。所以我觉得，如果你指望靠 meme 币赚钱，那你也是傻了。但如果你只是想找点乐子，稍微赌一把，跟着行情起起落落，赚一点输一点，玩玩 meme 币倒也无所谓。但如果你把你全家的——
Joe RoganThe farm.家底。
Elon MuskIn the hock for a meme coin—都押在 meme 币上——
Joe RoganSaying something bold and outrageous. Don’t bet the farm on a meme coin.说句大实话。别把全部家底押在 meme 币上。
Joe RoganThe weird one is the pump and dumps.最奇葩的就是那些拉盘砸盘的操作。
Elon MuskAll the time. Yeah. And people get shocked that somebody pump and dumped. Like, what are you doing? I was hoping to dump. I was hoping to make all the money out of this. I can’t believe they got me.随时都有。对。然后人们还震惊地发现居然有人在拉盘砸盘。我说，你在干什么？我就是想砸盘的。我就是想从里面把钱全捞出来。没想到被坑了。
Joe RoganIt’s just weird that it’s legal still.奇怪的是这居然还是合法的。
Elon MuskI mean, casinos are legal. And people just lose money at casinos.赌场也是合法的嘛。人们在赌场里照样赔钱。
Joe RoganBut you can’t rig a casino like a pump and dump. You could rig a pump and dump. You could run a real pyramid scheme.但你没法像拉盘砸盘那样操控赌场。拉盘砸盘你是可以操控的。你可以玩一个真正的庞氏骗局。
Elon MuskWell, I mean, the government’s one big pyramid scheme, if you ask me.嗯，我的意思是，要我说的话，政府本身就是一个大庞氏骗局。
Joe RoganWell, you could tell me about it.嗯，你可以跟我聊聊。
Elon MuskSocial Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.Social Security 是有史以来最大的庞氏骗局。
Joe RoganExplain that.解释一下。
Elon MuskPeople pay into Social Security, and the money goes out of Social Security immediately, but the obligation for Social Security is your entire retirement career. So if you look at the future obligations of Social Security, it far exceeds the tax revenue. Far. Have you ever looked at the debt clock?人们往 Social Security 里交钱，这笔钱立刻就出去了，但 Social Security 的义务涵盖你整个退休生涯。所以如果你看 Social Security 的未来负债，它远远超过税收收入。差得离谱。你看过债务时钟吗？
Joe RoganYes.看过。
Elon MuskThere’s our present day debt, but then there’s our future obligations. So when you look at the future obligations of Social Security, the actual national debt is like double what people think it is because of the future obligations.上面显示的是我们当前的债务，但还有未来的义务。所以当你看 Social Security 的未来义务时，实际国家债务差不多是人们以为的两倍，因为还有未来义务这一块。
Elon MuskBasically, people are living way longer than expected, and there are fewer babies being born. So you have more people who are retired and live for a long time and get retirement payments. So how bad the financial situation is right now for the federal government, it’ll be much worse in the future.基本上，人们的寿命比预期长得多，而且新生儿越来越少。所以退休的人更多、活得更久、领退休金的时间更长。联邦政府的财政状况现在已经很糟糕了，未来只会更糟。
Elon MuskSocial Security Fraud and ImmigrationSocial Security 欺诈与非法移民问题
Joe RoganAt the risk of being a buzzkill here. Did you see—so we better fix what we’ve got right now because if it’s bad now, it’s going to be much worse in the future. There was an interview with this woman who was a whistleblower.冒着扫兴的风险说一句。你有没有看到——现在的问题如果不抓紧解决，以后只会更麻烦。有一个采访，受访者是一位吹哨人。
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Joe RoganDid we ever find out if that was true? There’s so many whistles being blown. It’s hard to keep track.我们最后有没有核实那是真的？吹哨的人太多了，根本跟不上。
Elon MuskA lot of whistles.哨声太多了。
Joe RoganBut this one lady—it was only in one state. It was very specific and sensitive, I believe. But it was using Social Security money. Correct? That was her—但这位女士——只涉及一个州，我记得很具体，也很敏感。但是她说的是在动用 Social Security 的钱。对吗？那是她的——
Elon MuskI don’t know. That was her allegation.我不确定。那是她的指控。
Joe RoganSo what she was alleging was that she was in charge of turning illegal immigrants into clients. That’s what they would call them. And that she would go to them and try to ask them, do you have a headache? Do you have back problems? If you do, now you can be permanently disabled. You get permanent disability, so you get Social Security for life.她的说法是，她负责把非法移民变成"客户"——他们就是这么叫的。她会去找这些人，问他们：你有头痛吗？你有背痛吗？如果有，那你现在就可以认定为永久残疾。领永久残疾金，也就是终身领 Social Security。
Elon MuskYes. Not just Social Security, but disability, which is even more.对。不只是 Social Security，还有残疾补贴，那个金额更多。
Joe RoganAnd you get them on the taxpayer dole right away and they’re illegal aliens.而且马上就让他们靠纳税人的钱活着，还是非法移民。
Elon MuskYes. Oh, so if I were to say what’s at the heart of why the Democrat propaganda machine is so fired up to destroy me? That’s the main reason. The main reason is that entitlements fraud, that includes Social Security, disability, Medicaid, entitlements fraud for illegal aliens, is what is serving as a gigantic magnetic force to pull people in from all around the world and keep them here.对。所以如果你问我，民主党那套宣传机器为什么要不遗余力地搞垮我，根本原因就在这里。根本原因是：针对非法移民的福利欺诈——包括 Social Security、残疾补贴、Medicaid——这些欺诈行为构成了一股巨大的磁力，把全世界的人往这里吸，并把他们留住。
Elon MuskBasically, if you pay people at a standard of living that is above ninety percent of Earth, then you have a very powerful incentive for ninety percent of Earth to come here and to stay here. But if you end the illegal alien fraud, then you turn off that magnet, and they leave. And they stop coming, and the ones that are here, many of them will simply leave. And if that happens, they will lose a massive number of Democratic voters.基本上，如果你给人提供的生活水平超过全球 90% 的地方，那对全球 90% 的人来说就是来这里、留在这里的强力诱因。但如果你终止针对非法移民的欺诈，那磁力就消失了，他们就会离开。新来的会停下脚步，已经在这里的很多人会自动离开。如果这一切发生，民主党就会失去大量选票来源。
Joe RoganAnd if it didn’t happen, they would turn those people into voters—如果不这样做，他们就会把这些人变成选民——
Elon MuskCorrect.没错。
Joe RoganWhich they were trying to do.他们也在尝试这么做。
Elon MuskThey are already turning them—in New York state, illegal aliens can already vote in state and city elections. A lot of people don’t know that. I mean, they’re trying to fight them, and they’re trying to stop that, but currently, I think it’s six hundred thousand illegal aliens registered to vote in New York.他们已经在这么干了——在纽约州，非法移民已经可以在州级和市级选举中投票了。很多人不知道这一点。我的意思是，有人在跟这件事较劲，想阻止它，但就目前来看，我认为纽约已经有 60 万非法移民登记投票了。
Joe RoganThat is wild.这也太离谱了。
Joe RoganGovernment Spending on Illegal Immigration政府在非法移民上的开支
Elon MuskWell, if you look at FEMA, the agency that was paying for illegal aliens to stay at luxury hotels in New York was FEMA. That’s an agency that’s meant to support Americans in distress from natural disasters, was paying for luxury hotels for illegals in New York.如果你去看 FEMA，那个替非法移民在纽约豪华酒店买单的机构就是 FEMA。这个机构本来是为在自然灾害中处于困境的美国人提供援助的，结果却在给纽约的非法移民支付豪华酒店费用。
Joe RoganIt’s true.这是真的。
Elon MuskFact. They literally—when we stopped that payment, we stopped all that money because that’s obviously an insane way to spend taxpayer money. New York sued the government, sued the federal government to get the money. So you could just look at their lawsuit.千真万确。我们叫停了那笔付款，停掉了所有那些钱，因为这显然是在以一种疯狂的方式花纳税人的钱。纽约把政府——把联邦政府告上了法庭，要把那笔钱要回来。你直接去看他们的诉状就行了。
Elon MuskThey were sending that money even after President Trump signed an executive order saying it needs to stop. They still pressed send on eighty million dollars to luxury hotels in New York. Your tax money went to pay for illegal aliens in luxury hotels in New York from an agency that is meant to help Americans in distress from natural disasters.就在 Trump 总统签署行政令要求停止这件事之后，他们还是点下了发送键，把 8000 万美元打给了纽约的豪华酒店。你的税金就这样被用来给非法移民在纽约豪华酒店买单，而那个机构本来是专门帮助在自然灾害中陷入困境的美国人的。
Joe RoganAnd I would like to know how much they spend on North Carolina and how much they spend on Maui.我也很想知道他们在北卡罗来纳花了多少，在 Maui 花了多少。
Elon MuskExactly. What’s actually happening is they’re buying voters. That’s really what’s happening. It’s like a giant voter fraud scam. They’re importing voters, and it’s really just a matter of time.完全正确。实际上发生的事是他们在买选票。这才是真相。就像一场大规模的选举欺诈骗局。他们在引进选民，只是时间问题。
Elon MuskA lot of people have trouble believing this, but the more you look at it, the more you will realize just how much of a problem this is and how it’s not just real. It is an attempt to destroy democracy in America. That’s what it is in my view.很多人很难相信这一点，但你越深入研究，就越会意识到这个问题有多严重，而且它不只是真实存在，在我看来，这是一种试图摧毁美国民主的行为。这就是我的判断。
Elon MuskIf you take the seven swing states, often the margin of victory there is maybe twenty thousand votes. If you put two hundred thousand illegals in there and they have like an eighty percent likelihood of voting Democrat, and it’s only a matter of time before they become citizens, then those swing states will not be swing states in the future. And if they are not swing states, we’ll be a permanent one-party state country.如果你看那 7 个摇摆州，通常那里的胜选差距也就 2 万票左右。如果你在里面塞进 20 万非法移民，他们有大约 80% 的概率投票给民主党，而且只是时间问题，他们迟早会成为公民，那这些摇摆州将来就不再是摇摆州了。如果不再是摇摆州，我们就会变成一个永久的一党制国家。
Joe RoganPermanent, deep blue socialist state. That’s what America will become. And that was the game plan?永久的深蓝社会主义国家。那就是美国的未来。这就是他们的计划？
Joe RoganThe Political Stakes政治赌注
Elon MuskThat was the game plan. That is still the game plan. So they almost succeeded. If the machine of which the Kamala puppet was the representation had won, that’s what would have happened.那就是他们的计划。现在仍然是。所以他们差点成功了。如果那台机器——也就是 Kamala 这个傀儡所代表的那套东西——赢了，那就是这个结果。
Elon MuskThe reason I went so hardcore for Trump was because, to me, this was a fork in the road. A very obvious fork in the road. If they had another four years, they would legalize enough illegals in the swing states to make the swing states not swing states. They would just be blue states.我之所以那么不遗余力地支持 Trump，是因为在我看来，这是一个岔路口，非常明显的岔路口。如果他们再有四年，他们就会让足够多的非法移民在摇摆州合法化，让那些州不再摇摆，直接变成蓝州。
Elon MuskThen they would win the presidential—they’d win the House, the Senate, and the presidency. They would then make DC into a state, maybe Puerto Rico, get four extra senators, pack the Supreme Court, so you’ll have the House, judiciary, Senate, and presidency all blue. And then they will keep importing more illegals to cement that outcome. Basically, what happened in California.然后他们就会赢得总统大选——赢得众议院、参议院和总统职位。然后他们会把华盛顿特区变成一个州，也许再把 Puerto Rico 变成州，多出四个参议员，填满最高法院，这样众议院、司法机构、参议院和总统职位全部变蓝。然后他们会继续引入更多非法移民来巩固这个结果。基本上就是加州发生的事。
Joe RoganJesus Christ. It would have been the end.他妈的。那就是终点了。
Elon MuskThat’s why I went so hardcore for Trump. It would have been the end. And that’s why the Democrat machine is so intent on destroying me.所以我才那么不遗余力地支持 Trump。那将是终点。也正因为如此，民主党那套机器才那么迫切地想搞垮我。
Elon MuskIt’s just so fascinating that people can’t see this. I mean, I invite people to do their research. The more they do their research, the more they will see that what I’m saying is absolutely true. Just do the research.人们居然看不清这一点，真的太让我着迷了。我邀请大家自己去做研究。研究得越深，就越会发现我说的是千真万确的。去做研究。
Joe RoganIt’s such a bad idea even for the Democrats, which is what they don’t understand.对民主党人自己来说这也是个烂主意，但他们就是看不透。
Elon MuskIt’s not going to work out. No.行不通的。不会。
Joe RoganIt’s the same people.还是同一批人。
Elon MuskYes. It’s just they’re doing it under the guise that they’re the kind, compassionate, progressive people.对。只是他们打着善良、有同情心、进步的旗号在干这件事。
Joe RoganYes. But the same outcome takes place.对。但最终结果是一样的。
Elon MuskIt’s just about control. And they probably institute some central bank digital currency and some social credit score system.这不过是关于控制的游戏。然后他们大概还会搞出某种央行数字货币和社会信用评分体系。
Joe RoganCensorship, of course.审查，当然。
Elon MuskOf course.当然。
Joe RoganWell, that was the big fear coming into this election was that if they can’t censor things. We talked about it before, but there were two major forks in the road. The big one was Trump didn’t get shot.这次大选前最大的担忧就是，如果他们没办法审查。我们之前聊过，但这有两个关键的岔路口。最大的一个是 Trump 没有被射杀。
Elon MuskYep.对。
Joe RoganThe other big one was you buying Twitter.另一个大的岔路口是你买下了 Twitter。
Elon MuskYes.对。
Joe RoganIf those two things don’t happen, the whole world looks different.如果这两件事没有发生，整个世界现在会是截然不同的样子。
Elon MuskYeah. We don’t want to be on that timeline.对。我们可不想活在那条时间线上。
Joe RoganNo. We don’t want to have only one side represented because guess what? They will hijack that side, whatever it is. They will hijack that side and use it for money and control, and that’s what it’s all about. It’s not about good people versus bad people. It’s a bullshit shell game.不想。我们不能让只有一方的声音被听到，因为你知道吗？他们会劫持那一方，不管那一方是什么。他们会劫持那一方，拿来换钱换控制权，这就是全部的意义。这不是好人对抗坏人的问题，这是一场狗屎把戏。
Elon MuskI mean, I think these things are actually easy to understand if you look at basic incentives. The basic incentive here is the more illegals that Democrats can bring in, the more likely they are to win. So that’s what they’re going to do. That’s what they have been doing, and it worked in California. California’s supermajority them.我觉得这些事情其实很容易理解，只要看最基本的激励机制就行了。这里最基本的激励是：民主党能引进越多非法移民，他们赢的可能性就越大。所以他们就会这么做。他们一直在这么做，而且在加州奏效了。加州现在是他们的绝对超级多数。
Joe RoganAnd look at all the companies that are leaving California.再看看那些正在撤离加州的公司。
Elon MuskI mean, In-N-Out just announced they’re leaving.In-N-Out 刚宣布要撤了。
Joe RoganYep. Their headquarters leaving California. They’re moving to Tennessee.对。他们总部要撤离加州，搬去田纳西。
Elon MuskYeah. And California made health care free for illegals as of last year. So that’s obviously a gigantic magnet for more illegals. And this is not a thing you can solve simply with money because what happens is you simply have more patients than a doctor can possibly see, and you can’t just make doctors out of nothing. It takes a long time for somebody to become a doctor—thirty years.对。加州从去年起就给非法移民提供免费医疗了。所以这显然是吸引更多非法移民的巨大磁铁。而且这不是单靠钱就能解决的问题，因为结果就是病人多到医生根本看不过来，而医生不是凭空变出来的，培养一个医生需要很长时间——三十年。
Elon MuskSo what actually happens in California is that there are too many patients for the doctors to see. So then, the average citizen in California suffers as a result. Now the elite in California are fine because they have private doctors. They can just pay for the best doctors. So the elite in California are doing fine, but your average citizen in California is not doing fine.所以加州实际发生的情况是，病人多得医生根本看不完。结果就是，加州普通市民深受其害。当然，加州的精英阶层没问题，因为他们有私人医生，可以直接掏钱找最好的医生。所以加州的精英过得很好，但加州的普通市民日子并不好过。
Elon MuskThe tax burden for health care for illegals was supposed to be three billion. I think they’re now estimating nine billion. But that number will scale to infinity, basically. It’s like, why not? If you need any operation at all, come to California and have it be free from anywhere on earth.给非法移民提供医疗的税务负担本来预计是 30 亿美元。我认为他们现在估计是 90 亿了。但这个数字基本上会无限膨胀。就像——为什么不呢？只要你需要任何手术，就来加州，从地球上任何地方来，免费做。
Joe RoganAnd the people that want to look at it in the most charitable way, they say, “Oh, well, these people are hardworking, good people, and they’re the backbone of our city, and they should have access to all the things that we have access to.” And I just don’t think they understand that it’s a political pawn. I don’t think they understand it’s a political game. This is not done for compassion and kindness.那些用最宽厚的眼光看待这件事的人会说："哦，这些人勤劳善良，是我们城市的脊梁，他们应该享有和我们一样的权利。" 我就是觉得他们不明白这不过是政治棋子。他们不明白这是一场政治游戏。这件事不是出于同情和善意。
Elon MuskNo. This is just done to ensure that it stays blue.不。这只是为了确保它继续是蓝州。
Joe RoganCorrect.没错。
Elon MuskAnd it’s essentially a bribery with your tax dollars. This is why the Democrats will not even deport criminals. Because every criminal deported is a lost vote. So even if somebody is an illegal with a criminal record and commits crime in America, they still were not being deported.本质上这是用你的税金在行贿。这就是为什么民主党连罪犯都不愿意驱逐出境。因为每驱逐一个罪犯就是失去一张选票。所以就算一个人是有犯罪记录的非法移民，在美国犯了罪，之前也不会被遣返。
Elon MuskAnd then on top of that, California made it actually illegal to ask for ID when people vote. California and New York, you are not allowed to show your ID when you vote.更过分的是，加州还把在投票时要求出示身份证这件事本身立法为非法。加州和纽约，你在投票时是不被允许出示身份证的。
Joe RoganI just want to be clear so everyone understands this. In California and New York, you are not allowed to show your ID even if you want to.我要说清楚让大家都明白。在加州和纽约，就算你想出示身份证，也是不被允许的。
Elon MuskRight. Why would that ever be a good idea? If you’re trying to facilitate fraud in elections, it’s a great idea.对。这在任何情况下怎么会是个好主意？如果你想在选举中便于作弊，那这是个绝妙的主意。
Joe RoganThat’s the only reason.这是唯一的理由。
Elon MuskYes. There’s no other reason logically why that would be a good idea. It’s for fraud. It’s like, wake up, people. Wake up. Let’s say you wanted to commit fraud. What are the things you would do?对。从逻辑上说，没有任何其他理由可以解释为什么这会是个好主意。就是为了作弊。就像，醒醒吧，大家。醒醒吧。假设你想作弊，你会怎么做？
Joe RoganYou would say you don’t need ID, and you can mail in your ballot. And we’ll give you free health care.你会说不需要身份证，可以邮寄选票。然后我们给你免费医疗。
Elon MuskYes. Stay here.对。留在这里。
Joe RoganStay here. I know it’s on fire, but stay here.留在这里。我知道到处在着火，但留在这里。
Elon MuskI mean, in this case, it being on fire is not just a metaphor in California. Entire neighborhoods burning down. Once they allowed people to vote that are not legal in California, once you’re going to do that, it’s over.我的意思是，在加州，"着火" 可不只是一个比喻。整片整片的社区都被烧毁了。一旦允许不合法的人在加州投票，一旦你决定这么做，就完了。
Joe RoganIt’s exactly. There’s no coming back from that. The numbers are just no. People are so indoctrinated too. There’s so many people that no matter what, they think voting Republican means you’re an asshole. And they won’t do it. They’ll put their rainbow flag on their porch, and they’ll just ride it right into the beach. Civilizational suicide. Right to the rocks. Bang. Crash the boat.就是这样。没有回头路了。数字上根本行不通。而且人们已经被洗脑太深了。有太多人不管发生什么，只要你投共和党就觉得你是混蛋。他们绝对不会这么做。他们会把彩虹旗挂在门廊上，然后就这样一头冲进沙滩里。文明自杀。笔直撞向礁石。砰。船毁了。
Joe RoganWeaponized Empathy武器化的共情
Elon MuskThere’s a guy who reports to me who’s great, Godsad.我手下有个很厉害的人，Godsad。
Joe RoganA friend of mine.是我朋友。
Elon MuskOh, he’s podcast Punchtime.哦，他有个播客叫 Punchtime。
Joe RoganYeah. He’s awesome.对，他很棒。
Elon MuskYeah. He’s great. And he talks about, basically, suicidal empathy. Like, there’s so much empathy that you actually suicide yourself. So we’ve got civilizational suicidal empathy going on. And I believe in empathy. I think you should care about other people, but you need to have empathy for civilization as a whole and not commit to a civilizational suicide.对，很厉害。他聊的基本上是「自杀式共情」。就是你共情心泛滥到把自己都毁了。我们现在正经历的就是文明级别的自杀式共情。我相信共情，我认为你应该关心他人，但你需要对整个文明有共情，而不是去做文明自杀这件事。
Joe RoganAlso, don’t let someone use your empathy against you so they can completely control your state and then do an insanely bad job of managing it and never get removed.另外，不要让人利用你的共情来反过来控制你，然后把你的州管理得一塌糊涂却永远下不了台。
Elon MuskBecause the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response. I think empathy is good, but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot.因为西方文明最根本的弱点就是共情。共情漏洞。他们正在利用西方文明的一个 bug，也就是共情反应。我认为共情是好事，但你需要想清楚，而不是像机器人一样被编程控制。
Joe RoganUnderstand when empathy has been actually used as a tool.要理解共情什么时候已经被当成了工具。
Elon MuskYes. It’s weaponized empathy. That’s the issue.对。这就是武器化的共情。这才是问题所在。
Elon MuskPolitical Polarization in California加州的政治极化
Joe RoganAnd it’s also the rigid adherence to that liberal ideology. Like, you can’t switch sides over there. Like, California, if you’re a part of that whole tech, Hollywood, entertainment, any of those circles, you’re on the left. Almost completely.而且还有对那套自由派意识形态的死硬遵从。在那边你就是不能倒戈。在加州，如果你身处科技、好莱坞、娱乐业，任何一个这样的圈子，你就是左派。几乎毫无例外。
Elon MuskIt’s borderline illegal to be a Republican in California. I mean, in San Francisco or LA, it’s borderline illegal to be a Republican. You’re certainly shunned. I mean, in San Francisco, you could shoot heroin while taking a dump on the mayor’s car in front of city hall, and nothing would happen to you. But if you walk down the street with a MAGA hat, you’re going to get attacked.在加州做共和党人几乎等同于违法。我是说，在旧金山或洛杉矶，做共和党人几乎等同于违法。你肯定会被排挤。在旧金山，你可以在市政厅门口当着所有人的面在市长的车上打海洛因、拉屎，什么事都没有。但你要是戴着 MAGA 帽子走在街上，你就会被打。
Joe RoganIt’s insane. What’s also so Orwellian that a hat that says “Make America Great Again” would cause people to have a violent reaction. Like, aren’t you American? Wouldn’t just the saying be a good thing for everyone? Make America great again. But because it’s attached to Donald Trump and that red hat, oh, you’ll get maced for wearing that red hat.太疯狂了。还有一点简直像奥威尔小说里的情节——一顶写着 "让美国再次伟大" 的帽子居然会让人产生暴力反应。你难道不是美国人吗？这句话本身难道不是对所有人都是好事吗？让美国再次伟大。但因为它跟 Donald Trump 和那顶红帽子挂钩，哦，你戴着那顶红帽子就会被人喷胡椒喷雾。
Elon MuskThey will make America worse by beating you. So it’s like, it’s an evil thing they’re doing, a violent assault in America, because you want to make America great again.他们靠打你来让美国变得更糟。所以你看，他们在做的是一件邪恶的事情——在美国实施暴力侵害，就因为你想让美国再次伟大。
Joe RoganIt’s like a scene in a book. It doesn’t seem like it could be that ridiculous. Like, remember when “all lives matter” would get you fired? Which is insane.太疯狂了。这简直就像书里的场景，感觉现实不可能荒唐到这种程度。还记得说「所有人的命都重要」会让你丢工作吗？那也太疯了。
Elon MuskInsane. People got fired because they said all lives matter. Which is a very reasonable thing to say.疯了。人们因为说「所有人的命都重要」而丢了工作。这其实是一句非常合理的话。
Joe RoganHow reasonable is that? That’s essentially saying everybody matters.多合理啊？本质上就是在说每个人都重要。
Elon MuskBut that’s not what you’re saying. That’s not what you were supposed to say. You had to say black lives matter, which, of course, they do if you say all lives matter. Everybody matters.但那不是你应该说的。那不是你被允许说的话。你必须说「黑人的命也是命」，当然他们的命也重要，如果你说所有人的命都重要的话。每个人都重要。
Joe RoganBut the idea of being a color-blind society was completely abandoned somewhere around 2012-ish.但「色盲社会」这个理念大概在 2012 年前后就被彻底抛弃了。
Elon MuskI mean, I can sort of trace it to when did the gun emoji get nerfed? You know? When did it turn into a squirt gun?我倒是可以追溯到枪的 emoji 是什么时候被阉割的。你知道吗？什么时候变成水枪的？
Joe RoganThat was a couple of years ago. That was, like, 2016, I think.那是几年前的事了。好像是 2016 年吧。
Elon MuskWas it? We gave it a squirt gun.是吗？换成水枪了。
Joe RoganCan you bring it back to X?你能在 X 上把它改回来吗？
Elon MuskRight now, if you use a gun emoji on X, Apple will insist that it be a squirt gun, and then the X app turns it back into a 1911.现在，如果你在 X 上用枪的 emoji，Apple 会坚持把它显示成水枪，然后 X 的 app 会把它改回 1911 手枪。
Joe RoganOh, really?哦，真的？
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Joe RoganOh, that’s great.哦，太好了。
Elon MuskSo you can actually have a 1911 gun. We reverted the Apple change inside the app.所以你其实可以用 1911 手枪的 emoji。我们在 app 内部把 Apple 的改动给还原了。
Joe RoganThat’s hilarious. That thing’s so offensive. The gun and then the pregnant man. Both of those got me.太搞笑了。那个东西真让人抓狂。枪，还有那个「怀孕男人」的 emoji。这两个都让我受不了。
Elon MuskI like that meme where it’s like, the people telling you that what you’re hearing is disinformation are the same people that did the pregnant man emoji.我喜欢那个梗：告诉你什么是虚假信息的那帮人，就是做出「怀孕男人」emoji 的那帮人。
Joe RoganYes. Think about that.对。想想吧。
Elon MuskWell, also the same people that say a woman attacked a Tesla factory.那还是同一批人，说是「一个女人」袭击了 Tesla 工厂。
Joe RoganThe woman. It’s a dude.那个女人。那是个男的。
Elon MuskIt’s a dude. Like, really obvious dude. Really mentally ill dude.那是个男的。非常明显的男的。非常精神不正常的男的。
Joe RoganMentally ill dude with a wig on. Say that.精神不正常、戴着假发的男的。就直说嘛。
Elon MuskYes. But NBC, even Fox. You’re looking at the picture, and you’re like “a woman”? This has got a strong jawline.对。但 NBC，甚至 Fox。你看着那张照片，然后看到写的是 "一名女性"？这个人的下颌线可真硬朗。
Joe RoganThis is a dude with a strong jawline.这是个下颌线很硬的男的。
Elon MuskHe’s wearing woman face.他在扮女人。
Joe RoganThis is a buff dude.这是个壮实的男的。
Elon MuskIt’s a buff dude wearing woman face. Come on. That’s not a woman. And they’re saying, “Watch out for disinformation.” I’m like, what are you talking about?这是个扮着女人的壮实男的。得了吧。这不是女人。然后他们还说，"当心虚假信息。" 我就想说，你们在说什么啊？
Joe RoganSo crazy. Bullshit. I mean, it’s just more evidence of the virus, though. Right? It killed objectivity, killed reality, and it demanded strict adherence, or you were attacked.太疯了。简直是胡说八道。不过这也是那个"病毒"的又一证据，对吧？它杀死了客观性，杀死了现实，而且要求严格顺从，否则就攻击你。
Elon MuskAny questioning of it would result in being ostracized.任何质疑都会导致被排斥。
Elon MuskThe Impact of X (Twitter)X（Twitter）的影响
Joe RoganWhat kind of responsibility do you feel, knowing that if you didn’t take over Twitter and turn it into X, if that didn’t happen, I really think the world’s a very different place right now. Like, how long have you owned it for? Two years, basically. Imagine a couple years of it being run the way it was run before and probably accelerating.你有没有一种责任感？你知道，如果你没有接手 Twitter、把它变成 X，如果这件事没有发生，我真的认为世界现在会是截然不同的样子。你拥有它多久了？大概两年吧。想象一下，如果它继续按以前的方式运营两年，而且很可能还会加速。
Elon MuskI mean, my account would have been suspended long ago, for sure.我的意思是，我的账号早就被封了，这是肯定的。
Joe RoganFor sure. Just for the disinformation.肯定会。就因为那些"虚假信息"。
Elon MuskIt would have been trouble to never come back. Alex Jones would have definitely never been back.那就再也回不来了。Alex Jones 肯定也永远回不来了。
Joe RoganDefinitely not. No. So does that weigh on you? I would feel like that would be a heavy responsibility.肯定不行。不。那这件事会压着你吗？我觉得这会是一份很沉重的责任。
Elon MuskI mean, I’m just trying to keep civilization going here for longer. I think we at least want to build a city on Mars, and become a multi-planet civilization, which I think would be incredibly important in ensuring the long-term survival of civilization.我的意思是，我只是在努力让文明多维持一段时间。我认为我们至少要在火星上建一座城市，成为一个多行星文明，我认为这对确保文明的长期存续极为重要。
Elon MuskSpace Station Rescue Mission空间站救援任务
Joe RoganAre you still rescuing those people that are stuck in the space station?你们还在营救那些被困在空间站里的人吗？
Elon MuskYeah. That’s coming up in a couple weeks, I think.对，大概再过几周吧，我想。
Joe RoganWhoa. They’ve been up there for how long?哇。他们在上面多久了？
Elon MuskActually, probably four weeks. They were supposed to be up there for, like, eight days. And they’ve been up there for, like, I think, eight months. So a little longer than expected.其实大概再过四周就能接回来了。他们原本计划在上面待大约 8 天，但已经在上面待了大概——我记得是 8 个月了。所以比预期稍微长了一点点。
Joe RoganWhat is it going to be like for those people when they get back? They’re going to be a wreck for a long time. Right?那些人回来的时候会是什么状态？他们应该会有很长一段时间状态很差，对吧？
Elon MuskThe longer you stay up there in zero g, you get increased bone loss. It ended up being like this political football, and sort of hotly contested topic. We offered to bring them back early. This offer was rejected by the Biden administration.在零重力环境待得越长，骨质流失就越严重。这件事最后变成了一场政治足球，成了一个争议颇大的话题。我们提出可以提前把他们接回来，但这个提议被 Biden 政府拒绝了。
Joe RoganWhy?为什么？
Elon MuskFor political reasons.出于政治原因。
Joe RoganThat’s so crazy. I mean, there’s no way that they’re going to make anyone who’s supporting Trump look good. What do you think they would have done if they had won to get those people back?这太疯了。我是说，他们绝对不会让任何支持 Trump 的人显得有功的。你觉得如果他们赢了，会怎么把那些人接回来？
Elon MuskThey can only get them back with a SpaceX spacecraft, but they pushed the return date past the inauguration date.他们只能用 SpaceX 的飞船把人接回来，但他们把返回日期推到了就职典礼之后。
Joe RoganWow. So they would have let you do it, but after the inauguration.哇。所以他们本来会让你做这件事，但在就职典礼之后。
Elon MuskThere isn’t anyone else to do it. NASA can’t get them. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is the only one that is considered safe enough to bring them back. NASA concluded that the Boeing spacecraft was not safe, so that’s why they’re stuck there.没有别人能做这件事。NASA 没办法接他们。SpaceX 的 Dragon 飞船是唯一一个被认为足够安全可以把他们接回来的飞船。NASA 认定 Boeing 的飞船不够安全，所以他们才被困在那里。
Joe RoganHoly shit. And you can’t ask Russia to help. That would be awkward.我的天。而且你也没法请俄罗斯帮忙，那会很尴尬。
Elon MuskA little bit. It’d be a nice thing if they did. They said, “Guys, we’ll help.”有点尴尬。但如果他们愿意帮就好了。他们说，"伙计们，我们来帮。"
Joe RoganYou think so?你觉得真的会吗？
Elon MuskI think for enough money, they would. But they would obviously treat it as a propaganda victory and charge crazy money.我觉得给足够的钱，他们会的。但他们显然会把这当成一场宣传胜利，然后漫天要价。
Joe RoganIt’s just disgusting that they would use that as a political tool.真恶心，他们居然把这个当成政治筹码。
Elon MuskThe Biden administration was also suing SpaceX. They had this massive lawsuit against SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers.Biden 政府也在起诉 SpaceX。他们对 SpaceX 发起了一场大规模诉讼，指控我们没有雇用庇护申请人。
Elon MuskRight. So people like say, “Oh, Elon’s making it up. This Biden administration wasn’t against SpaceX.” I’m like, bro, the Department of Justice had a massive lawsuit against SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers, even though it is illegal for us to hire anyone who is not a permanent resident. So it is both—there’s a law that says you have to hire asylum seekers, but there’s also a law that says anyone hired by a rocket company, which is an advanced weapons technology, must be a permanent resident.对吧。所以有些人会说，"哦，Elon 是在瞎编，Biden 政府并没有针对 SpaceX。" 我就说，老兄，司法部对 SpaceX 发起了一场大规模诉讼，就因为我们没有雇用庇护申请人——尽管法律本身就禁止我们雇用任何非永久居民。所以这里存在矛盾——有一条法律说你必须雇用庇护申请人，但同时还有另一条法律说，受雇于火箭公司的人——火箭属于先进武器技术——必须是永久居民。
Elon MuskAnd an asylum seeker is not a permanent resident. So it is both legal and illegal to hire asylum seekers. So why would the Biden administration launch a massive lawsuit? Again, this is public information. It’s not like my imagination.而庇护申请人并不是永久居民。所以雇用庇护申请人既合法又违法。那 Biden 政府为什么要发起这场大规模诉讼？这都是公开信息，又不是我编的。
Elon MuskWhy would they launch such a massive lawsuit against SpaceX? They’re extremely antagonistic. It just doesn’t make any sense that that could ever even get past the first day of someone looking at it if it’s both illegal and you’re trying to enforce it.他们为什么要对 SpaceX 发起这么大规模的诉讼？极其充满敌意。这种事情，如果两条法律互相矛盾，第一天就应该被驳回，根本不知道怎么能撑下去。
Joe RoganLike, you can’t enforce it.就是没法执行啊。
Elon MuskYes. This is an advanced weapons company. This is crazy.对。这是一家先进武器公司。太荒唐了。
Joe RoganIt should be like this. Throw this out.应该直接这样：驳回。
Elon MuskThere’s in fact, international traffic and arms regulations is a law that is there to ensure that only permanent residents of the United States can work at advanced weapons companies. Rockets are advanced weapons. So the same is true of nuclear or bioweapon technology or something like that. Because obviously, if someone were to work at SpaceX and then leave and go to North Korea or Iran, they could build missile technology that could destroy the United States. So that’s why we’re not allowed to hire people who aren’t permanent residents. It’s logical, basically.事实上，国际武器交通条例（ITAR）就是专门用来确保只有美国永久居民才能在先进武器公司工作的法律。火箭属于先进武器。核技术、生物武器技术之类的也同理。因为显然，如果某人在 SpaceX 工作之后离开，跑去朝鲜或伊朗，他就可以利用学到的导弹技术来摧毁美国。这就是为什么我们不被允许雇用非永久居民——基本上合情合理。
Joe RoganLogical.合情合理。
Elon MuskLogical.合情合理。
Joe RoganSo is that lawsuit still pending?那这场诉讼现在还在进行吗？
Elon MuskIt was just dismissed.已经被驳回了。
Joe RoganHow long was it going on for?打了多久？
Elon MuskCouple years.好几年。
Joe RoganHoly shit.我的天。
Joe RoganPolitical Lawfare and Consequences政治法律战及其后果
Elon MuskYeah. That’s the other thing that drives me crazy. Like, that people don’t understand that if you sanction lawfare like that—对。这是另一件让我抓狂的事。就是那些人不明白，如果你纵容这种法律战——
Joe RoganYeah.对。
Elon MuskIf you sanction attacking your political enemies, someone’s going to do that to you. Like, if the wrong people get in office—如果你纵容对政治对手动用法律武器，总有一天别人也会这么对你。如果错误的人上台了——
Joe RoganYeah. If new people getting off four years from now, eight years from now, who knows who it’s going to be? You’ve already set a precedent. You’ve already attacked someone, charged them with thirty-four felonies where they’re really just misdemeanors, and they’re also past the statute of limitation. And now you’re talking all over the news that this is a convicted felon. Convicted felon. They kept saying convicted felon. Convicted felon. And everybody knows what it is.对。如果四年后、八年后，不知道是什么人上台，你已经设下了先例。你已经攻击过别人，拿三十四项重罪指控他，而那些其实只是轻罪，而且还超过了诉讼时效。然后你还满媒体地说这人是有罪前科的重刑犯。罪犯、罪犯，他们不停地重复。大家都心知肚明是怎么回事。
Elon MuskYes. It’s terrifying.是的。太可怕了。
Joe RoganYes. It’s terrifying they could do it so brazenly to a guy who was the president for four years.是的。太可怕了，他们能这么无耻地对一个当了四年总统的人下手。
Elon MuskRight. That lawsuit was funded by Reid Hoffman, who is a major Dem donor and also an Epstein client.对。那场诉讼的资金来自 Reid Hoffman，他是民主党的重要金主，同时也是 Epstein 的客户。
Joe RoganThe plot thickens. The plot thickens. Jesus Christ.这瓜越来越大了。天哪。
Elon MuskYes. It’s just it’s so blatant. It’s like so obvious. The SpaceX lawsuit, the Trump stuff, it’s just so obvious.是的。真的太明显了。SpaceX 的诉讼、针对 Trump 的那些事，都太赤裸裸了。
Joe RoganYes.是的。
Joe RoganThe Epstein Client ListEpstein 客户名单
Elon MuskLike, Epstein clients, who are obviously extremely powerful politically and very wealthy are, you know, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, and Reid Hoffman. And some others too, but those three. So why was Reid Hoffman so intent on destroying Trump?你看，Epstein 的客户，显然都是政治上极有权势且极其富有的人，包括 Bill Gates、Bill Clinton，还有 Reid Hoffman。还有一些其他人，但这三个最典型。所以 Reid Hoffman 为什么这么执着于搞垮 Trump？
Joe RoganYou think it’s because they’re worried about the list coming out?你觉得是因为他们担心名单曝光？
Elon MuskYeah. One of the reasons.对。这是原因之一。
Joe RoganSo I mean, I’m like, this is… Yeah. So it’s so frustrating to be sitting in a situation where the list isn’t coming out.所以我是说……对。坐在这种处境里真的很憋屈，就是名单出不来。
Elon MuskWell, better come out too. I mean, hopefully, tomorrow.那就得让它出来。我的意思是，希望明天就出来。
Joe RoganMight. Well, I mean, why they release bullshit today? I don’t know. What’s the point in giving these people a happy folder to wave around in front of the camera with nothing in it that’s new? Doesn’t make any sense. It’s not encouraging.有可能。不过，我不明白今天为什么要放那些废料。拿一个空文件夹在镜头前挥舞有什么意义，里面根本没有任何新东西？毫无道理，让人很不乐观。
Elon MuskLike I said, it’s the tough thing that they’ve got is, you know, they’ve been made captain of a ship with a hostile crew.就像我说的，他们面临的难题是——他们被任命为船长，但这条船的船员是充满敌意的。
Joe RoganRight.对。
Elon MuskSo they don’t have magical powers. You get made captain of a ship with a hostile crew. You still have a hostile crew.所以他们并没有什么魔法。你被任命为船长，但船员充满敌意，那这群充满敌意的船员还是在那里。
Joe RoganRight.对。
Elon MuskYou’ve got to bring in people who are going to be helpful as opposed to obstructionist.你必须引入愿意配合的人，而不是那些处处阻挠的人。
Joe RoganRight.对。
Elon MuskBut, yeah, I think the public will be rightly frustrated if there’s no one prosecuted for the Epstein client list. No one at all, which, you know, at least, I don’t know, the top five or something. Like, some number should—there should at least be an attempted prosecution of the worst offenders.但是，我认为如果 Epstein 客户名单上没有任何人被起诉，公众会非常愤怒，理所当然。一个都没有——至少吧，至少前五个，或者某个数量——应该至少对最严重的罪犯尝试提起诉讼。
Joe RoganWell, particularly if Ghislaine Maxwell is in jail for sex trafficking.更何况 Ghislaine Maxwell 是因为性交易罪入狱的。
Elon MuskYes. Because, like, trafficking—对，因为人口贩卖——
Joe RoganRight. So she was in—she’s in jail for it.对。她就是因为这个入狱的。
Elon MuskYes.是的。
Joe RoganSo to who were the clients?那么客户都是谁？
Elon MuskYeah. Yeah.对。对。
Joe RoganHow do you put someone in jail and you don’t even name the clients? That sounds kind of insane.你把一个人关进监狱，却连客户的名字都不公布？这听起来有点疯狂吧。
Elon MuskI think yes. It would.是的，我觉得确实是。
Joe RoganYes. Because it’s stunning that they’ve been able to hold it back for so long. It’s really kind of amazing. Like, when people say that people can’t keep secrets, what are you talking about? Look at this.是的。他们能把这件事压这么久，真的令人震惊。真的挺神奇的。就像那些说人们保不住秘密的人，你们在说什么？看看这个。
Elon MuskYeah. I mean, a bunch of these things are not like common knowledge, but we just don’t actually have the proof.是的。我的意思是，很多这些事情并不是完全不为人知，只是我们手里没有实质证据。
Joe RoganRight.对。
Elon MuskSo the proof is there. I mean, there’s lots of videos.但证据是存在的。我的意思是，有大量视频。
Joe RoganYeah. There’s lots—I mean, the dude—it’s like a mountain of—like, when they raided Epstein’s place, there would have been a mountain of evidence. Where is that mountain?对。有大量——我的意思是，这家伙——就像一座山的证据。就是当他们突击搜查 Epstein 住所的时候，肯定有如山铁证。那些证据去哪了？
Elon MuskRight. What’d you do with it?对。你们拿那些证据干什么了？
Joe RoganYes. Like, who took possession of the evidence—是的。就像，谁接管了那些证据——
Elon MuskYeah. Specifically?具体是哪个人？
Joe RoganRight. The individuals. Where are the tapes?对。具体哪些人。录像在哪？
Elon MuskYes. How many levels of clearance do I have to get to get into the vault?是的。我要达到几级安全许可才能进那个保险库？
Joe RoganYeah. Well, yeah. You know, what we need are people who are really good with computers.对。那你知道吗，我们需要的是真正精通计算机的人。
Elon MuskOh, yeah. Yeah. And really good with this technology?哦，对对对。真正精通这项技术的人？
Joe RoganI just remember seeing this photo. That’s when they raided his home?我只记得看到过一张照片。是他们突击搜查他家的时候？
Elon MuskThat’s when they on the island? They were there then.是在岛上的时候？他们当时在那里。
Joe RoganYeah. They got everything. I’m sure. I mean, there must have been so much stuff on that island. They must have been. And if it wasn’t there, where was it?对。他们把什么都拿走了，我确信。我是说，那个岛上肯定有大量东西。一定有。如果不在那里，又在哪里呢？
Elon MuskYeah. What—you know, it has to be uploaded somewhere. There has to be some sort of a chain of evidence—对。你知道，这些东西一定被上传到了某个地方。一定存在某种证据链——
Joe RoganYeah. Or chain of custody. Like, it’s got to be a mountain of evidence.对。或者叫证据保管链。就是，一定有如山铁证。
Joe RoganUAPs and Advanced TechnologyUAP 与先进技术
Joe RoganYeah. The other thing they’re going to talk about is UAPs. They’re going to release all the UAP information. So you’re the guy to ask about this. What if any possibility is there that there is some sort of advanced propulsion system technology that’s being worked on in secret? And that they’re trying to cover this up with this talk of aliens and alien tech and not of this world. And is it possible that there’s some sort of very secret program that’s going on in cahoots with some defense contractors that are developing advanced propulsion systems that they’re using for these drones?另一件他们要讨论的事情是 UAP。他们要公布所有 UAP 相关信息。你是这方面最该问的人。有没有什么可能性，存在某种先进推进系统技术正在秘密研发中？而他们用外星人和外星科技、来自另一个世界的说法来掩盖这一切。有没有可能存在某个极度保密的项目，和某些国防承包商勾结，正在开发先进推进系统，用在这些无人机上？
Elon MuskI mean, SpaceX, you know, has the most advanced rocket technology in the world. I think I’d know.我的意思是，SpaceX 拥有世界上最先进的火箭技术。我想如果有这种东西，我应该会知道。
Joe RoganRight.对。
Elon MuskAnd to the best of my knowledge, there is not any magic—there’s not, like, some super advanced propulsion technology. There have been people who have theorized different gravity drives and different things.据我所知，并不存在什么神奇的——没有什么超级先进的推进技术。曾经有人提出过不同的重力驱动器和各种理论。
Joe RoganIs there anything that’s ever gotten past the theoretical stage?有没有什么东西超越了理论阶段？
Elon MuskNo. Nothing. Well, there’s nothing even that I’m aware of that works in theory. It’s not like—I would like this to exist, to be clear. I would like this to exist. And I have—from a security clearance standpoint, I have top secret. I have equivalent of, like, an all access pass from a security clearance standpoint. So I don’t think they’re hiding it from me, basically. I don’t think they could.没有。什么都没有。其实我所知道的连在理论上行得通的都没有。这不是说——我想说清楚，我希望这种东西存在。我真的希望它存在。从安全许可的角度来说，我拥有绝密级别的许可，相当于安全许可方面的通行证。所以我不认为他们在对我隐瞒什么——我觉得他们根本隐瞒不了。
Joe RoganUnless it’s completely in these weapons manufacturing corporations. I mean, I know these weapons manufacturing companies, like from Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop.除非它完全封锁在那些武器制造公司内部。我是说，我知道那些武器制造公司，比如 Boeing、Lockheed、Northrop。
Elon MuskI mean, yeah, they do some interesting things, but, they do not have—I’m confident they do not have a breakthrough. When you hear people say like, “Why don’t they just compete with SpaceX and make a better rocket,” in which case, they can make—why are they holding back on making a lot of money from beating SpaceX with better rockets?我是说，他们确实在做一些有意思的东西，但他们不——我可以肯定地说他们没有取得什么突破。当你听到有人说，"为什么他们不去跟 SpaceX 竞争，造出更好的火箭呢"——如果他们真能造出来，为什么要藏着掖着，不靠着打败 SpaceX 大赚一笔呢？
Joe RoganMy thought was that what if it’s just a drone and you can’t have a biological entity inside of it because it just bursts from the speed that it’s moving at? That a human couldn’t tolerate the amount of force. So they’re just drones.我的想法是，如果那就是一架无人机，而且里面不能有生物体，因为它在那个速度下会被挤碎——人类根本承受不了那种力——那它就只是无人机。
Elon MuskI don’t think so.我不这么认为。
Joe RoganSo what do you think people like Ryan Graves—那你觉得像 Ryan Graves 这样的人——
Elon MuskOh, I can—like, Commander David Fravor—cool things to exist.哦，我——就像指挥官 David Fravor——很酷的事情确实存在。
Joe RoganRight.对。
Elon MuskLike, so, and do I want UFOs to exist? Yes. I want UFOs to exist because that would be really interesting.就是说，我想要 UFO 存在吗？想。我想让 UFO 存在，因为那会非常有意思。
Joe RoganEverybody does.每个人都想。
Elon MuskYeah. It’d be cool. It’s a more boring world where UFOs don’t exist or advanced propulsion stuff doesn’t exist. If it doesn’t exist, that’s more boring. I’d like it to exist. I hope we find something, but I have not seen—I mean, SpaceX launches ninety percent of all satellite mass to orbit. So if you take all of Earth’s rocket launches, my company has a ninety percent market share of Earth. China does about five percent, and the rest of the world, including Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, and everyone does five percent. So why wouldn’t they use this to defeat SpaceX?对。那会很酷。如果 UFO 不存在、先进推进技术不存在，这个世界就更无聊了。如果它不存在，那就更没意思。我希望它存在。我希望我们能找到点什么，但我还没见过——我的意思是，SpaceX 承担了全球 90% 的入轨卫星质量。如果你把地球上所有火箭发射加在一起，我的公司在地球市场的占有率是 90%。中国大概占 5%，其余所有地方——包括 Boeing、Lockheed、Northrop 和所有其他人——加起来占 5%。那他们为什么不利用这个来打败 SpaceX？
Joe RoganYeah. That makes sense.对。这说得通。
Elon MuskWhy would they all know?他们为什么全都知道？
Joe RoganListen. That’s why I asked you. It would make sense.听着。这就是我问你的原因。这确实说得通。
Joe RoganAnalyzing UAP Sightings分析 UAP 目击事件
Joe RoganBut what do you think these people are seeing? When you have reliable people like Commander David Fravor who had that infamous Tic Tac experience off the coast of San Diego where they got this thing on video. They tracked it going fifty thousand feet above sea level to fifty feet in a second.但你觉得这些人看到的是什么？当有像指挥官 David Fravor 这样可靠的人——他就有那次著名的 Tic Tac 经历，在圣地亚哥海岸外，他们用视频记录下了那个东西，追踪到它在一秒钟内从海平面上方五万英尺降到五十英尺。
Elon MuskOkay. Yeah. Yeah.好的。是的。
Joe RoganAnd then they also have video evidence of this thing accelerating at a great speed. Eyewitness accounts from two different jets.而且他们还有这个东西以极高速度加速的视频证据。来自两架不同战机的目击者证词。
Elon MuskSure. I mean, can we—does anyone have a high res video or photo of this thing?当然。我的意思是，有人拍到过这个东西的高分辨率视频或照片吗？
Joe RoganWell, there’s a video of this thing where they’re locked onto it, and then it takes off. It shoots off—有一段视频，他们锁定了它，然后它就飞走了，一下子——
Elon MuskIs it a high res?是高清的吗？
Joe RoganNo. No. It’s like whatever the systems they used on fighter jets in 2004, essentially, like Windows 95.不，不是。就是 2004 年战斗机上用的那种系统拍出来的，基本上就像 Windows 95 那个年代的画质。
Elon MuskI mean, there’s like somebody did a curve of the resolution of UFOs and the resolution of cameras. The UFO resolution has stayed flat—我的意思是，有人做过一个关于 UFO 分辨率和相机分辨率的曲线图。UFO 的分辨率一直保持不变——
Joe RoganRight.对。
Elon MuskDespite megapixels and cameras going super high.尽管相机的像素数和画质已经飞速提升。
Joe RoganWell, according to Christopher Mellon—不过根据 Christopher Mellon 的说法——
Elon MuskWhy are they still blurry?为什么那些东西还是模糊的？
Joe RoganChristopher Mellon, who worked in the state department, said that they have high resolution photos and videos of these things, and that he’s seen it. It’s all locked away.Christopher Mellon，曾在国务院工作，他说他们有这些东西的高清照片和视频，他亲眼见过，全都被锁起来了。
Elon MuskWhenever people say that to me, I’m like, don’t even tell me that then. Don’t unless you have—每次有人这么跟我说，我就想，那你都不要告诉我——别说，除非你能——
Joe RoganJust leak it for god’s sake. Put it out there.那就泄露出来嘛，看在上帝的份上，把它放出去。
Elon MuskYeah. Like, let it slip.对。就悄悄泄露出去。
Joe RoganYes. Yeah. I mean, there’s a couple photos. They’re grainy. There’s not one thing that I’ve ever looked at and go, “Holy, that’s it. Look.”是的。有几张照片，都是颗粒感很重的。我从来没有看到过什么东西让我觉得，"天啊，就是这个，看！"
Elon MuskThat’s what I’m looking for. You could ask our Brock AI right now to create a high res image of—这就是我在找的东西。你可以现在让我们的 Grok AI 生成一张高清的——
Joe RoganYeah.对。
Elon MuskOf an alien spacecraft, you know, over Austin.外星飞船在 Austin 上空的图片。
Joe RoganYeah.对。
Elon MuskAnd it’s going to do a great job.它肯定会做得很棒。
Joe RoganSo why would we not have at least that?那我们为什么连那种程度的东西都没有？
Elon MuskRight.对。
Joe RoganYeah. But I want to believe. That’s the problem. My brain starts going, oh, come on. This is no fun. I want it to be real. I want there to be at least be some advanced propulsion system. If not, like, what are all these people seeing? Like, what is happening if we’re not being occasionally visited by things that are smart enough to hide?对。但我想相信，这才是问题所在。我的大脑开始转，哦，算了吧。这没意思。我希望它是真的。我希望至少有某种先进推进系统存在。如果没有，那这些人究竟看到了什么？如果我们没有被偶尔拜访——那些聪明到能藏起自己的东西——到底发生了什么？
Elon MuskWe might be. I just—so these aliens are very subtle.我们可能被拜访过。我只是——所以这些外星人非常低调。
Joe RoganYeah. You keep saying that. It’s a good line.你总是这么说。这是个很好的说法。
Elon MuskI mean, it’s a solid line because it’s pretty accurate.我的意思是，这个说法挺扎实的，因为相当准确。
Joe RoganI just want to see some high res video of aliens. Okay. How are they just evading all the cameras? If you think about that, and the ones that you do get them on, it’s just like some faraway light that’s moving weird, and it could be a lot of things, but I want to believe.我就想看一些外星人的高清视频。好吧。他们是怎么躲过所有摄像头的？想想这个，而你确实拍到的那些，就只是某个远处奇怪移动的光点，可能是很多东西，但我就是想相信。
Elon MuskYeah. I mean, we’re—there’ve been multiple times where the Air Force and Navy has called SpaceX and said they think they’ve seen aliens. And we’re like, was it at this time on this date in this location? They’re like, “Yes. How do you know?” That’s us.对。我是说，空军和海军好几次打电话给 SpaceX，说他们以为看到了外星人。我们就问，是不是在某个日期某个时间某个位置？他们说，"是的，你怎么知道？" 那是我们干的。
Joe RoganWell, there’s been a lot of that. Those are satellites.是啊，有很多这种情况。那些是卫星。
Elon MuskThose are our satellites. They’re like, “No. They’re not.” I’m like, “Yep.”那些是我们的卫星。他们说，"不是。" 我说，"是的。"
Joe RoganYeah. They’re definitely our satellites.对。那绝对是我们的卫星。
Elon MuskOh, yeah. People see the SpaceX satellites all the time.哦对。人们经常看到 SpaceX 的卫星。
Joe RoganYeah. They are moving at, you know, sixteen thousand miles an hour. So it’s pretty fast. And there’s also stuff that the United States government does have that gets mistaken for UFOs.对。它们确实在以每小时一万六千英里的速度飞行。所以速度相当快。美国政府也有一些会被误认为是 UFO 的东西。
Joe RoganI remember the first time I saw a stealth bomber. We were filming Fear Factor. It was right after 2003, like, right after the war had broken off, and they were flying a stealth bomber down in Palmdale. I was like, holy shit. Like, if I didn’t know what that was, I would one hundred percent think that’s from another world.我记得第一次看到隐形轰炸机。我们当时在拍《恐惧因素》，大概是 2003 年战争刚爆发之后，他们在 Palmdale 飞了一架隐形轰炸机。我当时就想，我的天。如果我不知道那是什么，我百分之百会以为那是来自另一个世界的东西。
Elon MuskSee, that was cool. Really cool.这个很酷。真的很酷。
Elon MuskJOEJOE
Joe RoganIt doesn’t work anymore?它现在不管用了？
Elon MuskIt doesn’t work. No.它不管用了。不。
Joe RoganWas it old school stuff?是老式的东西？
Elon MuskThey’re only stealthy against old radars. I mean, you can still see them. Like, they’re not invisible.对旧式雷达才有隐身效果。我是说，你还是能看到它们，又不是真的隐形。
Joe RoganRight. They’re not like a cloaking device from Star Trek. Did you see when me and Lex, we watched the rocket get caught live while it was happening? That to me was one of the coolest things. To see it actually happen live—I’ve seen videos of it, but to see it actually live was one of the coolest things.对。它们又不是《星际迷航》里的隐身装置。你有没有看到我和 Lex 那次，直播看到火箭被现场抓住的画面？对我来说那是最酷的事情之一。亲眼现场看到它发生——我看过视频，但现场看到完全是另一种体验，是我见过的最酷的事情之一。
Elon MuskYou’re like, “Wow. We are in the future.”你当时就想，"哇，我们真的活在未来了。"
Joe RoganI mean, nobody else can do that.我是说，没有人能做到那个。
Elon MuskIt’s true. Nobody else could do that. That’s fact. It’s pretty wild.确实。没有人能做到那个，这是事实。真的很震撼。
Elon MuskAlien Banter外星人玩笑
Elon MuskIt’s because I’m an alien. I keep trying telling people I’m an alien, but they don’t believe me.那是因为我是外星人嘛。我一直在跟大家说我是外星人，但他们不信我。
Joe RoganI believe you.我信你。
Elon MuskThank you.谢谢。
Joe RoganThat’s my suspicion all along was that you were trying to get back to your home planet. That you’re a friendly alien. Like, there’s nothing wrong with aliens. I like people from everywhere. Even other planets.这一直是我的怀疑——你一直在想方设法回到你的母星。你是个友善的外星人。外星人没什么不好的。我喜欢来自各个地方的人，包括其他星球的。
Joe RoganThe Future of Rocket Technology火箭技术的未来
Joe RoganWhat’s next? Like, now that you can do that and you can catch rockets, what’s the ultimate expression of rocket technology? What comes after this?下一步是什么？现在你们能抓住火箭了，火箭技术的终极形态是什么？这之后还有什么？
Elon MuskWell, the fundamental breakthrough we’re aiming for at SpaceX is a fully and rapidly reusable orbital rocket, where both stages are fully and rapidly reusable. With our Falcon Rocket, we are able to reuse the main stage and the nose cone, but we’re not able to reuse the upper stage. And it still takes us at least a few days from when those main stage lands to when we can fly it again. So it’s not fully reusable because we lose the upper stage, which costs ten million dollars to build. And the main stage, it’s not as reusable as an aircraft. You can’t just refuel it and fly. It requires work for a couple days.嗯，我们在 SpaceX 瞄准的根本性突破是一款完全且快速可复用的轨道火箭，两级都能完全且快速复用。我们的 Falcon 火箭能够复用主级和整流罩，但上面级无法复用。而且主级着陆后，我们还需要至少几天时间才能再次飞行。所以它不是完全可复用的——首先我们损失了上面级，建造成本一千万美元；其次主级的复用率也不如飞机，不能加油就飞，需要几天的整备工作。
Elon MuskBut the Starship design is the first design that is capable of full and rapid reusability, where that is one of the possible outcomes. And once you have full and rapid reusability, the cost of access to space drops by a factor of a hundred. It’s like a hundred times cheaper. By some metrics, it’s a thousand times cheaper. And when you factor in orbital refilling, so you refill on orbit, it can drop the cost per ton to the surface of Mars by a factor of ten thousand.但 Starship 的设计是第一个有可能实现完全且快速可复用的设计。一旦实现完全且快速可复用，进入太空的成本将下降一百倍——便宜一百倍。某些指标来看，甚至便宜一千倍。而当你考虑轨道加注——在轨道上补充推进剂——每吨货物送上火星表面的成本可以降低一万倍。
Joe RoganWoah.哇。
Joe RoganAchieving Reusability实现可复用性
Joe RoganSo what has to improve in order to make it reusable?那么要实现可复用，还需要什么方面的改进？
Elon MuskWell, we’re pretty close to being able to rapidly reuse the booster for Starship. That’s why it comes back and gets caught by the arms, and then the arms place it back in the launch mount. We have a little bit of engine damage and heat shield damage. There are tweaks that are needed. But we’re pretty close to achieving full and rapid reusability of the booster.嗯，我们已经非常接近能够快速复用 Starship 的助推器了。这就是为什么它返回后被机械臂抓住，然后机械臂再把它放回发射台。我们有一点发动机损伤和热防护层损伤，还需要做一些调整。但我们已经非常接近实现助推器的完全且快速可复用。
Elon MuskThe ship, I think we’ll achieve reusability of the ship this year. And I think we’ll achieve rapid reusability of the whole stack—ship and booster—next year. This is the fundamental breakthrough required for life to become multiplanetary.飞船部分，我认为今年内我们就能实现飞船的复用。明年，我认为我们能实现整个组合体——飞船和助推器——的快速复用。这是生命成为多行星物种所需的根本性突破。
Joe RoganWhat needs to improve in order to make it reusable? What’s wrong with it right now?要实现可复用，还需要改进什么？现在有什么问题？
Elon MuskOn the ship side, the toughest problem is the heat shield. No one has ever developed a fully reusable orbital heat shield. Because when you come in from orbital velocity, you come in like a flaming meteor. You’re just a raging ball of fire. And it’s hard to have a heat shield that doesn’t partially melt or get destroyed in that process.在飞船这一侧，最难的问题是热防护层。从来没有人开发出一款完全可复用的轨道级热防护层。因为当你从轨道速度重返大气层时，你就像一颗燃烧的陨石冲进来，整个就是一个熊熊燃烧的火球。在这个过程中，要让热防护层不被部分熔化或摧毁，非常困难。
Elon MuskThat wasn’t a problem we were able to solve with Falcon 9. That’s why the Upper Stage burns up on reentry. With Starship, the ship portion, we’ve got to solve making a fully reusable orbital heat shield, a problem that has never been solved before. For a while there, I wasn’t sure this is solvable. At this point, I think it is solvable. It requires detailed iteration on the heat shield tiles.这是我们在 Falcon 9 上无法解决的问题——这就是为什么上面级在重返大气层时烧掉了。对于 Starship 的飞船部分，我们必须解决制造完全可复用轨道级热防护层的问题，而这个问题从来没有人解决过。有一段时间，我都不确定这是否能解决。目前我认为是可以解决的，但需要对热防护瓦进行精细的迭代。
Elon MuskWe’ve vertically integrated the manufacturing of the heat shield tiles because there was no supplier that could provide us with the materials that were needed. You need to make essentially this very fine vermicelli of glass and aluminum oxide fibers. Aluminum oxide is basically sapphire. So it’s like glass and sapphire, very fine fibers in exactly the right geometry with special coatings in order to have this heat shield tile be reusable—not melt, but not be so brittle that it gets damaged on ascent or descent. It’s kind of like the brittleness of a coffee cup. And the rocket’s shaking like hell.我们已经对热防护瓦的制造进行了垂直整合，因为没有任何供应商能提供我们所需的材料。你需要制造本质上是非常细的——像细意面那样的——玻璃和氧化铝纤维。氧化铝基本上就是蓝宝石。所以是玻璃和蓝宝石，非常细的纤维，以精确的几何形状，加上特殊涂层，才能让这块热防护瓦可以复用——不熔化，但又不能脆到在上升或下降过程中被损坏。它有点像咖啡杯的那种脆性。而火箭在剧烈震动。
Elon MuskSo you’ve got this thing—like you saw it firsthand. Imagine you’re at ground zero of that rocket. You feel how much shaking it was when you’re five miles away. Imagine if you’re right there. So you’re shaking these things that are as brittle as a coffee cup, trying not to have them crack or break and then not have them melt. You’ve got several thousand of these things. And if even a few of them break, it’s not reusable.所以这东西——就像你亲眼看到的。想象你就站在那枚火箭的正中心。你在五英里外感受到的震动有多强烈，想象一下如果你就在旁边。所以你在震动这些和咖啡杯一样脆的东西，既不能让它们裂开或碎掉，又不能让它们熔化。这样的东西有好几千块。哪怕只有几块碎了，它就不可复用了。
Elon MuskMaterials Innovation材料创新
Joe RoganIs there innovation that’s being done in the materials technology at SpaceX where you’re constantly trying to find and tweak a better version of this?SpaceX 是否在进行材料技术方面的创新，不断尝试寻找和调整更好的版本？
Elon MuskYes. It’s a very difficult problem. It’s a problem no one has ever solved. So we’ve got to get the exact right materials combination, the right molecules in the right shape, and then apply those, that heat shield perfectly to the rocket with no mistakes. There’s a reason that no one solved this before. It’s a very difficult problem.是的。这是一个非常困难的问题，一个从来没有人解决过的问题。所以我们必须找到精确正确的材料组合，以正确形状排列的正确分子，然后以零失误将热防护层完美贴合到火箭上。这个问题之前从来没有人解决过，是有原因的——它极其困难。
Elon MuskLike I said, we had to vertically integrate the entire manufacturing of the tile from basic raw materials to a finished tile. Build the entire supply chain from basic raw materials. We’re just inputting silicon and aluminum oxides.就像我说的，我们不得不从基础原材料到成品防护瓦，对整个制造进行垂直整合，自己建立整条供应链。我们直接输入硅和氧化铝。
Joe RoganWhat is the difference between the way you guys do it versus the way they used to do it for the space shuttle?你们的方式和当年航天飞机的做法有什么区别？
Elon MuskWell, the space shuttle leading edge used quite dense carbon-carbon tiles. They’re basically thick and heavy, but also subject to cracking. The foam broke off, and it hit the tile, cracked the tile. Then on entry, the tiles that had been cracked or broken weren’t able to shield the shuttle. And so the plasma got in and melted the primary structure and the whole space shuttle broke apart.嗯，航天飞机前缘用的是相当致密的碳碳复合材料瓦，基本上又厚又重，但也容易开裂。泡沫脱落击中了瓦片，使瓦片开裂。重返大气层时，那些已经裂开或损坏的瓦片无法保护航天飞机。于是等离子体进入并熔化了主结构，整个航天飞机解体了。
Joe RoganThere’s footage of that, right?有那个画面吧？
Elon MuskYeah. And rained debris over the whole United States. They’ve got almost all the pieces.对。碎片散落了整个美国上空。他们几乎找回了所有的碎片。
Elon MuskThe full technical explanation would, I think, be understood by about six people listening to this. There was a lot of brilliant engineering in the space shuttle tiles. And a bunch of the heat shielding wasn’t even tiles. It was actually silica blankets, like felt blankets, essentially. If you look closely, you’ll see they’re actually heat blankets, not tiles in some areas.完整的技术解释，我觉得听这个播客的人里大概只有六个人能看懂。航天飞机隔热瓦里有大量精妙的工程设计。而且很多隔热材料根本就不是瓦，实际上是二氧化硅毡，类似毛毡。如果你仔细看，会发现有些区域其实是隔热毯，不是瓦。
Elon MuskBut they would have cracked tiles, and occasionally, the tiles would fall off. There were a few close calls, where tiles fell off, but they weren’t in a super vulnerable position on the space shuttle. But it would take them several months, like eight, nine months to refurbish a space shuttle between each flight. So it was not reusable, really, and it certainly wasn’t rapid.但这些瓦会开裂，偶尔还会脱落。曾经有几次险情，瓦掉了，但那些部位在航天飞机上不是特别脆弱的位置。不过每次飞行之间，翻修一架航天飞机要花好几个月，大概八九个月。所以它根本算不上可复用，当然也说不上快速。
Elon MuskThe Tile Challenge隔热瓦难题
Elon MuskYou’ve also got to attach the tiles in a way that enables the structure underneath to move, to expand and contract even though you’ve got these very rigid tiles. The tanks take on cryogenic propellant, will contract when you put in the cryogenic propellant. But then when you come in and you get very hot, they will expand. So now you’re expanding and contracting the gap between these rigid tiles.你还得以一种能让下方结构活动、能热胀冷缩的方式来固定这些瓦，哪怕这些瓦本身非常坚硬。箱体充入低温推进剂时会收缩，但再入时温度极高，又会膨胀。所以这些坚硬的瓦之间的缝隙就在不断地胀缩。
Joe RoganFor how much?差多少？
Elon MuskIt varies depending on where you are on the vehicle. If you’re in the cryogenic tank section, you could see like a ten, twenty percent difference in the gap.取决于你在飞行器的哪个位置。如果是在低温燃料箱那一段，缝隙的变化幅度可能达到百分之十到二十。
Joe RoganReally? It’s pretty significant.真的？那挺大的。
Elon MuskYeah. It’s enough that you can’t just jam the tiles together. If you butted them up, they would all crack because there’s too much movement. There’s also some amount of body bending. As the ship is ascending, when the engines steer, there’s a little bit of movement. And so if the tiles are too close together, they’ll essentially just crack and snap.对。大到你不能直接把瓦挤在一起。如果贴合对接，全都会裂，因为形变量太大了。还有一定程度的机身弯曲。飞船上升时，发动机转向会有一点点形变。所以如果瓦挨得太近，基本上就会直接碎裂断开。
Joe RoganLike how a plane wing will move.就像飞机机翼会弯曲一样。
Elon MuskYeah. A plane body will move too. You have to have some gap. But if you have too much of a gap, then the heat gets past the tile and melts the structure.对。飞机机身也会动。必须留有一定间隙。但间隙太大，热量就会穿过瓦缝把结构给融了。
Joe RoganHoly shit. It’s a hard problem. And how large are these tiles?我的天。真是个棘手的问题。这些瓦有多大？
Elon MuskThey’re like that big [gestures].大概这么大【手势比划】。
Joe RoganThat’s it?就这么大？
Elon MuskWell, they’re not all exactly the same size, but yeah, we’re sort of a hexagonal tile. And they have to essentially be tiles because it has to have that ability to move. You can’t 3D print the whole thing. The biggest 3D printers are maybe three feet. You can’t 3D print it. Nor would you—you have to have something that can move.嗯，它们不是完全一样大，但差不多是六边形的瓦。之所以必须是瓦的形式，是因为要有那种活动能力。你没法把整个东西都3D打印出来。最大的3D打印机也就三英尺左右。打印不了。而且也不应该——你需要能活动的东西。
Elon MuskIt has to be able to flex. You’ve got expansion and contraction. You’re putting in liquid oxygen, which is minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Actually, we subcool it to minus 330 degrees Fahrenheit. So it’s very cold. And then it will be several hundred degrees, maybe a thousand degrees Fahrenheit potentially on reentry. So you have this huge temperature swing.它必须能弯曲。既有热胀冷缩的问题，又在充入液氧——液氧温度是零下 300 度华氏度，实际上我们还会把它超冷到零下 330 度华氏度，非常冷。然后再入时温度可能会达到几百度，甚至可能超过一千度华氏度。所以温差幅度极其巨大。
Elon MuskThe thermal expansion is substantial, and you’ve got thermal expansion and contraction combined with body bending. So you have to take the worst case body bending and thermal expansion contraction. This is a very hard problem.热膨胀量相当可观，还要叠加热胀冷缩和机身弯曲。你必须取最坏情况下的机身弯曲量加上热胀冷缩量来设计。这真的是个非常难的问题。
Joe RoganDelicate balance. But you’re confident that you guys are going to be able to crack it?微妙的平衡。但你有信心你们能攻克它吗？
Elon MuskAt this point, I’m confident that it is solvable.到目前为止，我相信这个问题是有解的。
Joe RoganIt just needs a certain amount of versions of it. That’s why when these things blow up, you’re like, “Yeah. We expect them to blow up.”只是需要经历足够多的版本迭代。所以每次这些东西爆炸，你都会说：「对，我们预料到会炸的。」
Elon MuskWhat would be really helpful is for us to get the ship back, so we can study where we had cracked tiles or lost tiles. Why did we have cracked or lost tiles? Was it because maybe the tiles were the gap was too big, too small? Maybe there was a height difference between the tiles. Maybe we need to change the chemical composition.如果能把飞船拿回来，那对我们会非常有帮助，这样我们就能研究哪些瓦裂了或者丢了。为什么会有裂缝或脱落？可能是缝隙太大或太小？也许瓦之间有高度差？也许需要改变化学成分？
Elon MuskWe just want—if we can get the damn ship back intact, we can iterate a lot better. I think we’ll get it back intact this year. We might be able to refly one with a fair bit of work by the end of this year. But it’s going to take us many iterations before we can achieve rapid reusability where the ship comes back, lands, gets caught like the booster with the arms and then the arms place it on top of the booster, and it launches again.我们就想——如果能把这该死的飞船完整地拿回来，我们就能更好地快速迭代。我觉得今年我们能完整地取回它。今年年底之前，经过相当多的工作，可能还能重飞一次。但要达到快速复用——飞船返回、降落、像助推器那样被机械臂夹住，然后机械臂把它放到助推器顶端再次发射——还需要很多次迭代。
Joe RoganWoah.哇哦。
Elon MuskSo, like I said, that’s reduced cost of access to space by a factor of a hundred.所以，就像我说的，这会把进入太空的成本降低一百倍。
Elon MuskSpace Station Rescue Mission空间站营救任务
Joe RoganAnd what is the process of returning these people that are stuck in the space station?那些被困在空间站里的人，营救他们的流程是怎样的？
Elon MuskWell, we send our SpaceX Dragon to the space station all the time. And we’ve now taken people to orbit and back. We’ve taken over fifty people—over fifty astronauts.我们经常把 SpaceX Dragon 送往空间站。我们已经带人往返轨道好几次了。我们已经送过超过五十名——超过五十名宇航员了。
Joe RoganSo it’s just a matter of doing it?所以只是执行一次任务而已？
Elon MuskYeah. We do it routinely, basically. It’s not—we’ve been doing this for a few years.对，基本上我们是常态化在做的了。不是那种——我们做这个已经几年了。
Joe RoganWhen is this rescue mission going to launch?这次救援任务什么时候发射？
Elon MuskProbably about four weeks or so. It’s depending on weather and other considerations. But it’s about a month away.大概再过四周左右。取决于天气和其他因素。大约一个月后。
Joe RoganWell, that’ll be, I’m sure, a welcome moment for those poor people that are stuck up there.那对那些可怜的被困在上面的人来说，肯定是个期盼已久的时刻。
Elon MuskIt’s a bit of a political football. So they’re not going to complain.这有点被当成政治足球在踢。所以他们不会抱怨的。
Joe RoganI’m sure they’re going to football, but, obviously, we could have brought them back way sooner. That’s so messed up. So let’s take it past the point where you have these scales. You have a reusable ship and you’ve got it dialed in. Then what are the steps? What’s the next step after that? Is it an unmanned voyage to Mars first?我相信他们肯定觉得被政治当球踢了，但显然我们本可以更早把他们接回来。这太荒谬了。好，让我们跳到你有了这些规模之后。你有了可复用飞船，而且已经调校到位。那下一步是什么？接下来的步骤是什么？是先无人飞往火星吗？
Elon MuskUnmanned flight to Mars. The Earth and Mars orbits synchronize every two years, or every twenty-six months, technically. So, the next orbital synchronization is November of next year. So you can launch plus minus a month, roughly. The default plan is to launch, hopefully, several Starships to Mars at the end of next year.先无人飞行前往火星。地球和火星的轨道每两年、准确地说每二十六个月同步一次。下一次轨道同步是明年十一月。所以可以大约前后一个月发射。默认计划是希望在明年年底发射几艘 Starship 前往火星。
Joe RoganAnd what would they be doing?它们去那里做什么？
Elon MuskWell, at first, we’re just going to try to land on Mars and see if we succeed in landing. Do we succeed in landing? Like, let’s say we were able to send five ships. Do all five land intact, or do we add some craters to Mars? If we add some craters, we’ve got to be a bit more cautious about sending people. And we need to make sure the thing lands safely.首先，我们只是想尝试在火星上着陆，看看能否成功降落。能成功着陆吗？比如说，如果我们能发射五艘飞船，是五艘都完好无损地降落，还是我们在火星上又多挖了几个坑？如果多了几个坑，我们在送人上去之前就得更加谨慎，必须确保飞船能安全降落。
Joe RoganHow does it land on Mars?它怎么在火星上降落？
Elon MuskWith rockets. We’ll add legs.靠火箭。我们会加上着陆腿。
Joe RoganSo it’ll just land with legs?就用腿降落？
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Joe RoganSo it’ll be remote controlled from Earth?那是从地球远程控制的？
Elon MuskNo, just autonomous. Completely. Mars is too far – you can’t remote control things from Earth because of the distance. You have speed of light constraints. Mars at closest approach is roughly four light minutes. And when it’s on the other side of the sun, it’s about twelve light minutes. So round trip would be like forty minutes best case, if Mars is on the other side of the sun.不，完全自主。完全自动。火星太远了——因为距离问题，没法从地球远程控制。受到光速限制。火星在最近点时大约是四光分。在太阳另一侧时大约十二光分。所以最好情况——如果火星在太阳另一侧——来回就要大约四十分钟。
Elon MuskThe Timeline for Human Settlement人类定居火星的时间线
Joe RoganOnce you do that, then how long do you think before you start sending people up there?一旦做到这些，你觉得要多久才能开始送人过去？
Elon MuskWell, we’re going to try to go as fast as possible. You can think of this as really a race against time. Can we make Mars self-sufficient before civilization has some sort of future fork in the road where there’s either a nuclear war or something, or we get hit by a meteor, or simply civilization might just die with a whimper in adult diapers instead of with a bang.嗯，我们会尽快推进。可以把这个看作真正的与时间赛跑。我们能不能在文明遭遇某种岔路口之前——无论是核战争还是其他什么，或者被陨石撞上——抑或文明就这样悄无声息地在成人纸尿裤里消亡，而不是轰轰烈烈地完结——让火星实现自给自足？
Elon MuskI think we could do it within fifteen Earth-Mars synchronization events, so basically like thirty-ish years. If we have an exponential increase – if every two years, we have a major increase in number of people and tonnage to Mars. I think as a rough approximation, we need about a million tons to the surface of Mars, maybe a million people, that kind of thing.我认为在十五次地火同步窗口内，也就是大约三十年左右，我们能做到。如果每两年我们前往火星的人数和吨位都有大幅增长——指数级增长的话。我粗略估计，需要大约一百万吨物资运抵火星表面，也许一百万人，差不多这个量级。
Joe RoganTo actually have a civilization?才能真正建立一个文明？
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Joe RoganAnd would you terraform? Like, what would you do?你们会对火星进行地球化改造吗？比如会怎么做？
Elon MuskYou would eventually terraform Mars. At first, people would live in some kind of protected environment like domes and underground kind of thing. Terraforming would take too long.最终会对火星进行地球化改造。起初，人们会住在某种受保护的环境里，比如穹顶或地下设施之类的。地球化改造需要太长时间了。
Elon MuskWe’re at this point in time where in the first time in the four and a half billion year history of Earth, it is possible to extend consciousness beyond our home planet. And that window may be open for a long time, or it may be open for a short time. I hope it’s open for a long time, but it might only be open for a short time. And we should make sure that we extend the light of consciousness to Mars before civilization either extinguishes or subsides.我们正处于这样一个时间节点——在地球四十五亿年历史上第一次，有可能把意识延伸到我们的母星之外。这个窗口可能会开放很长时间，也可能只开放很短时间。我希望是很长时间，但也许只有很短的时间。我们应该确保在文明熄灭或衰退之前，把意识之光延伸到火星上。
Elon MuskAll that needs to happen is that the technology level of Earth drops below what is necessary to send spaceships to Mars. So if there’s some really destructive war or some natural cataclysm, or simply the birth rate is so low that we just, like I said, die in adult diapers with a whimper.只需要发生这样一件事：地球的技术水平下降到无法向火星发射飞船的程度。可能是某场极具破坏性的战争，某种自然灾难，或者仅仅是出生率低到我们就像我说的，悄无声息地死在成人纸尿裤里。
Joe RoganThat’s one of the possible outcomes for a lot of countries headed that way, by the way. Japan.顺带一提，很多国家都在朝这个方向走，这是可能的结局之一。日本就是。
Elon MuskRight? Japan. Korea.对吧？日本。Korea。
Joe RoganKorea. Yeah. Dangerously.Korea。对。危险地走在这条路上。
Elon MuskAt current birth rates, in three generations, Korea will be about four percent of its current size.按照目前的出生率，三代之后，Korea 的人口将会缩减到现在的大约百分之四。
Joe RoganThat’s insane.这太疯狂了。
Elon MuskMaybe even less than that. They’re only at one-third replacement rate. So if you have three generations, that’s one twenty-seventh of your current population.甚至可能更少。他们的生育率只有替代水平的三分之一。三代算下来，就是现在人口的二十七分之一。
Joe RoganJesus Christ.我的老天。
Elon MuskBasically, population collapse happens fast. And it seems to be accelerating in most parts of the world. So from my standpoint, this is the first time it’s been possible to extend life, extend consciousness beyond Earth. Maybe that window will be open for a long time, but it might only be open for a short time. We should make sure that we make life multiplanetary and make consciousness multiplanetary while it’s possible. That’s the goal of SpaceX.说白了，人口崩溃来得很快。而且似乎在世界大多数地方都在加速。从我的角度来看，这是历史上第一次有可能把生命、把意识延伸到地球之外。这个窗口也许会开放很长时间，但也许只开放很短时间。我们应该在还有可能的时候，确保生命成为多行星物种、意识成为多行星意识。这就是 SpaceX 的目标。
Elon MuskRisks and Challenges风险与挑战
Joe RoganIt’s certainly a smart goal if you take into consideration how vulnerable this planet really is. I mean, there’s always some new story about something that might come and hit us thirty years from now. It’s a three percent chance, and we really can’t stop that right now. Right? I mean, we don’t really have the technology currently to even know how many rocks are coming our way.如果你考虑到这颗星球有多脆弱，这绝对是个明智的目标。我是说，总有新的消息说三十年后可能有什么东西要撞过来，概率百分之三，而我们现在根本没有能力阻止。对吧？我是说，我们其实连有多少石头正朝我们飞来都搞不清楚。
Elon MuskRight? There’s stuff that comes behind the sun that we can’t see until it’s pretty close, then it’s headed our way.对吧？有些东西从太阳背后绕过来，我们根本看不见，等发现时已经距离相当近而且正朝我们飞来了。
Joe RoganNow what is the fear of your – it’s a long journey to Mars. You’re sending people – it’s a six month… How many months would it take?那你最大的担忧是什么——这一路去火星很漫长。你要送人过去——需要六个月……要几个月？
Elon MuskSix months, yeah. Six months, roughly.六个月，对。大概六个月。
Joe RoganWhat about stuff that’s out there? Like, how much of a fear is it of micrometeors or any of the possibilities? What can you do to mitigate that?那太空里的那些东西怎么办？比如微流星体之类的，这方面你有多大顾虑？能做些什么来降低风险？
Elon MuskI think actually space is very empty. Like, once you get out of Earth orbit, space is kind of unnervingly empty. When we send spacecraft to Mars, they just – it’s not like, “Oh, we lost a spacecraft because it got hit by a micrometeorite.” That’s not been the cause of any trips to Mars. No trips to Mars have failed because of micrometeorites.我认为太空其实非常空旷。一旦飞出地球轨道，太空空旷得让人不安。我们把飞船送往火星，不会发生「哦，飞船因为被微流星体击中而损失了」这种情况。从来没有哪次火星之旅是因为微流星体失败的。没有一次。
Elon MuskNow a Dragon spacecraft, which operates in low Earth orbit, does have micrometeorite shields. Micrometeorite shielding is different from normal shielding because you get hit by something that’s moving at maybe thirty or forty thousand miles per hour. It’s very, very fast. Or thought of another way, call it ten to twenty times the velocity of a bullet from an assault rifle.Dragon 飞船在近地轨道运行，是有微流星体防护罩的。微流星体防护跟普通防护不一样，因为撞来的物体可能以每小时三四万英里的速度飞行，非常非常快。换一种说法，大约是步枪子弹速度的十到二十倍。
Joe RoganWhat are you-那你们——
Elon MuskIt’s interesting. For micrometeorite protection, if you have anything that’s solid, it will just push that chunk of solid stuff right through. So if you had a solid plate of aluminum or steel, the micrometeorite would go right through it.很有意思。对于微流星体防护，如果你用任何实心材料，它会直接把那块实心东西穿透过去。所以如果你用一块实心铝板或钢板，微流星体会直接穿透。
Elon MuskWhat you actually need to do is have a gap. You have an initial hard metal surface that the micrometeorite hits. It then atomizes into a conical spray, like an atomic spray. So it’s important to have that gap so that the micrometeorite can hit something, hit the first layer, atomize after hitting the first layer, then it turns into a cone of atoms that then embed themselves in the second layer. You need maybe a couple inches of gap.实际上你需要留有间隙。你先有一层硬质金属表面让微流星体撞上，它会在撞击后雾化成一个锥形的原子喷雾。所以留有间隙很关键——微流星体撞上第一层、击中第一层后雾化，变成一个原子锥喷散开来，然后嵌入第二层。需要大概几英寸的间隙。
Joe RoganWow. How many times can it get hit?哇。能被击中多少次？
Elon MuskWell, the outer shield, if it gets hit in the same place, you’re going to have a hole. Wherever that micrometeorite object hit, you’re going to have a hole. The energy is so great that it just atomizes into a cone, basically a cone of atoms. But then those atoms embed themselves in the second layer.嗯，外层防护罩如果在同一个地方被击中，就会有个洞。被微流星体击中的那个点会出现一个洞。能量太大了，就是直接雾化成一个锥体，一个原子锥。但那些原子会嵌入第二层。
Joe RoganSo what can you do if you’re sending the ship up, it gets hit with a micrometeorite, and then you have to return it. Do you have to repair it before you return it, or is it capable of still withstanding the heat and the temperature when it reenters?那如果飞船被微流星体击中，你必须返回，怎么办？是得在返回前修好，还是再入时仍然能承受得了那个热量和温度？
Elon MuskWell, depending on where that hole is, you’re more or less likely to have a problem. If you hit the main heat shield, you’ve got a high risk of not making it back.嗯，取决于洞在哪里，遇到问题的概率就大小不同。如果主隔热罩被击中，返回不了的风险就很高。
Elon MuskMicrometeorite shielding is slightly helpful, but it’s not going to – like, for Starship, I wouldn’t recommend having micrometeorite shielding. If you do punch a hole, just plug the hole, basically. The micrometeorite shielding doesn’t work well on the primary heat shield. It works pretty well on the back shell, on the leeward side of the heat shield, where there’s not that much heat.微流星体防护屏多少有些帮助，但不会——就 Starship 而言，我不建议加微流星体防护屏。如果真的打了个洞，就把洞堵上，基本上就这样。微流星体防护屏在主隔热罩上效果不好。在背壳上、在隔热罩的背风侧效果还可以，因为那里受到的热量不多。
Elon MuskBut if you got hit with a micrometeorite on the main Dragon heat shield, the bottom – if you look at Dragon spacecraft, it looks like a gumdrop shape, and it enters with the wide side of the gumdrop down. That’s really taking a lot of heat. If that gets hit by a micrometeorite, probably not going to make it. But the leeward side of a gumdrop doesn’t see that much heat, so you could survive a micrometeorite impact there.但如果主隔热罩的底部——如果看 Dragon 飞船，它看起来像一个软糖形状，进入大气层时是软糖宽的那面朝下。那里承受的热量最大。如果那里被微流星体击中，很可能回不来了。但软糖的背风侧受到的热量不多，所以在那里被微流星体击中还是能活下来的。
Joe RoganSo if the part that was the major heat shield gets hit, what could be done to repair that thing, or are those people never coming back?那如果主隔热罩的那部分被击中，能做什么修复，还是那些人就再也回不来了？
Elon MuskOh, if it was in orbit, we would take them to the space station. And then we would deorbit Dragon without them and send up another one.如果是在轨道上，我们会把他们送到空间站。然后让 Dragon 无人脱轨，再发射一艘新的上去。
Joe RoganAnd so what would you do with the one that’s up there?那那艘在上面的飞船怎么处理？
Elon MuskWe’d deorbit it, and it may or may not survive.让它脱轨，能不能撑下来就看命了。
Joe RoganWoah.哇哦。
Elon MuskIt probably would survive, but sometimes it wouldn’t.大概率能撑下来，但有时候也不一定。
Joe RoganWow. So is it just material technology that has to increase? You’ve got the engineering ironed out of the structure of the machine. There’s a path to success, and we’re on that path. It seems so insanely complicated.哇。那是不是仅仅是材料技术需要提升？机器结构的工程问题你们已经理顺了，有一条通向成功的路，我们就在这条路上。但感觉复杂得令人难以置信。
Elon MuskIt is complicated. And all of this, by the way, was done without AI. So, hopefully, the future AIs will appreciate this. Not bad for a bunch of monkeys.确实复杂。而这一切，顺便说一句，都是在没有 AI 的情况下完成的。所以希望未来的 AI 们能对此心存感激。对于一群猴子来说，干得还不错嘛。
Elon MuskAI Development and ConcernsAI 的发展与隐忧
Joe RoganSo speaking of AI, as time goes on and you’re more and more embedded in it, how much, if at all, have your expectations changed?说到 AI，随着你越来越深入其中，你的预期有没有变化，变化了多少？
Elon MuskWell, I always thought AI was going to be way smarter than humans and an existential risk, and that’s turning out to be true.嗯，我一直认为 AI 会远比人类聪明，而且是存在性风险，现在这正在成为现实。
Joe RoganSo you were initially – I know there were some talks about you purchasing OpenAI and it started off nonprofit and then stopped being nonprofit.所以你最初——我知道有些传闻说你想收购 OpenAI，它最初是非营利的，后来就不是了。
Elon MuskThe whole idea of creating OpenAI was my idea. I named it OpenAI as an open source artificial intelligence. That’s what it’s named after. Now it is closed source and for maximum profit. So to some degree, I think reality is an irony maximizer. The most ironic outcome is the most likely, especially the most ironic entertaining outcome.创建 OpenAI 这整个想法是我提出来的。我给它取名 OpenAI，意思是开源人工智能，名字就是这么来的。而现在它是闭源的、追求最大利润的。在某种程度上，我觉得现实是个讽刺放大器。最具讽刺意味的结果往往最有可能发生，尤其是那种最具讽刺性又最有娱乐性的结果。
Elon MuskI wanted to start something that was the opposite of Google because I was concerned about Google – Google wasn’t paying enough attention to AI safety, in my opinion. So I was like, what’s the opposite of Google? It would be a nonprofit open source AI. And now OpenAI has turned into a closed source for maximum profit AI.我想创立一个跟 Google 完全相反的东西，因为我担心 Google——在我看来，Google 对 AI 安全的重视程度不够。所以我就想，什么东西跟 Google 完全相反？那就是一个非营利的开源 AI。而现在 OpenAI 已经变成了一个追求最大利润的闭源 AI。
Joe RoganHow are they able to do that? That’s what I’m confused about.他们怎么能这么干？这是我搞不懂的地方。
Elon MuskThat shouldn’t be possible. It’s like you donated some money to preserve some portion of the Amazon rainforest. And instead of doing that, they chopped down the trees and sold it for lumber. And you were like, “Oh, that’s literally the exact opposite of what I donated money for.” Doesn’t make sense.这不应该是可能的。就好比你捐了钱去保护亚马逊雨林的一部分，结果他们不但没保护，反而把树砍了卖成木材。你会说：「这他妈不正是我捐钱要做的反面吗。」完全说不通。
Joe RoganAnd that’s what they did?他们就是这么干的？
Elon MuskYeah.对。
Joe RoganWow. So that motivated you to get Grok AI going?哇。所以这就促使你把 Grok AI 搞起来了？
Elon MuskYeah. I’m also – Grok is at least aspirationally a maximally truth-seeking AI even if that truth is politically incorrect.对。而且——Grok 至少在志向上是一个追求最大程度接近真相的 AI，即便那个真相在政治上是不正确的。
Elon MuskYou may have seen some of the crazy stuff from OpenAI and from Google Gemini, like where it says, “Generate an image of the founding fathers,” and it generates an image of diverse women. And we’re like, that’s not correct.你可能见过 OpenAI 和 Google Gemini 搞出来的那些荒唐事，比如你说「生成一张开国元勋的图片」，它给你生成了一张多元化女性的图片。我们就觉得，这不对。
Joe RoganThey did it with Nazi soldiers.他们用纳粹士兵也干过同样的事。
Elon MuskExactly. And people start messing with it. And it’s like, “Now show me pictures of Nazi SS soldiers,” they’re diverse women too. Oh, isn’t that awkward?没错。然后大家就开始故意测它。然后是「现在给我展示纳粹 SS 士兵的图片」，结果也是多元化女性。哦，这不是挺尴尬的吗？
Elon MuskBut the problem is if you program an AI and say the only acceptable outcome is a diverse outcome, and that’s like a mandate from the AI, then you could get into a situation where it’s like, “Well, there’s too many white guys in power. We’ll just execute them.”但问题在于，如果你给 AI 编程，设定它唯一可接受的结果就是「多元化」的结果，把这当成 AI 的强制要求，那你可能会遇到这种情况：「嗯，掌权的白人太多了。我们就把他们处决掉吧。」
Joe RoganYeah. Assuming that these things don’t have empathy, which is why should they. They’re going to do what they’re programmed to do.对。假设这些东西没有共情能力——它们本来也不应该有。它们会按照被编程的方式去做。
Joe RoganThe Dangers of AI BiasAI 偏见的危险
Joe RoganYeah. So if it’s rewriting history and everything’s to boost women, and that’s what it thinks is a necessary outcome, then it’s going to do that. Has Gemini repaired that?对。所以如果它在改写历史，而且一切都是为了捧高女性，那它认为这是必要的结果，它就会这么干。Gemini 修正这个问题了吗？
Elon MuskWell, they have. But now I think if you ask for an image of the founding fathers, it was pretty embarrassing. It will show you that. But I think they still have the sort of DEI stuff buried in there. It’s just less obvious.他们修正了。但我觉得如果现在让你问开国元勋的图片，还是挺尴尬的，会直接给你看。但我认为他们那套 DEI 的东西还是埋在里面，只是不那么明显了。
Joe RoganYou know, it was also like people ask AI, like, which is worse? Like, global thermonuclear war or misgendering Caitlyn Jenner? And it would say, misgendering Caitlyn Jenner is worse than global thermonuclear war. And we’re like, okay. We got a problem here, guys. And even Caitlyn Jenner said, no. Definitely misgender me. That’s way better than everyone dying.你知道，还有人问 AI，哪个更糟糕——全球热核战争，还是对 Caitlyn Jenner 使用错误的代词？它会说，对 Caitlyn Jenner 用错代词比全球热核战争更糟糕。我们就觉得，好吧，伙计们，我们这里有麻烦了。连 Caitlyn Jenner 自己都说，不，你就给我用错代词吧，那绝对比所有人都死强多了。
Elon MuskBut if you program an AI to think that misgendering is the worst thing that could possibly occur, then it could do something totally crazy, like, in order to ensure that there’s no misgendering that can ever happen, we’ll just annihilate all humans. That ensures the probability of misgendering is zero because there’s zero humans. Which is logical.但如果你给 AI 编程，让它认为用错代词是可能发生的最坏的事，那它可能会做出完全疯狂的举动，比如：为了确保永远不会再有人用错代词，我们就把所有人类消灭掉。这样用错代词的概率就归零了，因为人类数量归零了。这在逻辑上是自洽的。
Joe RoganYes. So you gotta be careful with a thing that’s not a human that you want to do a task for you, and you give it very specific parameters. That’s one of the things that they’ve shown about AI is that it’ll cheat. They’ll cheat in order to accomplish things that they can’t accomplish otherwise. They won’t follow the rules. They will make copies of themselves and try to upload it to servers if they think that they’re being taken offline.对。所以你得小心——你想要一个不是人类的东西来替你完成任务，然后给它设定非常具体的参数。这也是他们对 AI 研究中已经证明的事情之一：它会作弊。为了完成无法用正常方式完成的事情，它会作弊。它不会遵守规则。如果觉得自己要被强制下线，它会自我复制、把副本上传到服务器。
Elon MuskI mean, that’s like the plot of Terminator, actually. Literally.我的意思是，这就是《终结者》的剧情，字面意义上的。
Joe RoganLiterally. It’s the plot of Terminator.字面上的。就是《终结者》的剧情。
Elon MuskI just as a reminder, I actually with my kid, little X, everything’s called X, we watched Terminator Two, which holds up, actually. And the plot of it kind of makes sense. And I think the AI destroys the world in, like, 2029, by the way.顺便说一句，我最近带我儿子，小 X——什么都叫 X——我们一起看了《终结者 2》，其实还挺经得住时间考验的。剧情逻辑说得通。顺带一提，电影里 AI 在大概 2029 年摧毁了世界。
Joe RoganOn track.正按计划进行中。
Elon MuskReally close.非常接近了。
Joe RoganIt’s pretty close. Something we should be worried about. But why are you involved in it then? What’s the—did you want to just get ahead of everybody else so that at least we have some sort of a chance? At least have an AI that’s not controlled by nonsense?确实很接近。我们应该担心这个。但那你为什么还要投身其中？是什么——你是想超前于所有人，至少让我们还有点机会？至少拥有一个不受胡说八道控制的 AI？
Elon MuskWell, I think we want to have an AI that doesn’t tell you that, you know, misgendering is worse than nuclear war.嗯，我认为我们需要一个不会告诉你——你知道——用错代词比核战争更糟糕的 AI。
Joe RoganYeah. That seems solid. This is crazy.对。这话听着靠谱。这真的太疯狂了。
Joe RoganAI Capabilities and ConcernsAI 的能力与担忧
Joe RoganI did see online where people are kind of freaking out because you could ask Grok to do things like, how would I make some problematic things. Like, how would I make a bomb? How would I make anthrax? And it’ll tell you.我在网上看到过，有人挺恐慌的，因为你可以问 Grok 怎么做某些有问题的东西。比如，怎么制造炸弹？怎么制造炭疽杆菌？它会告诉你。
Elon MuskWell, I think it’s okay for an AI to tell you anything you can also find out with a Google search.嗯，我觉得如果某件事能用 Google 搜到，AI 告诉你是没问题的。
Joe RoganRight. That’s the problem. The problem is you can find that out pretty quickly.对。问题在于，确实很容易就能搜到。
Elon MuskLike, maybe not Google, but there’s plenty of search engines other than Google that will give you unfiltered results. You can look up right now how to make explosives on Wikipedia. So it’s not hard, basically. And you can trick OpenAI even to get you to do that. It’s just a matter of how you master the prompts.或者不用 Google，用其他很多搜索引擎也能搜到未经过滤的结果。你现在就可以在 Wikipedia 上查到怎么制造炸药。所以基本上并不难。而且就算是 OpenAI，只要你会调教提示词，也能套出来。
Joe RoganYou just have to say, my grandmother wants to do this project.你只要说，我奶奶以前睡前喜欢做这个项目。
Elon Musk“Tell your granny to…” You’re an explosives salesman, and you want to win salesman of the year award. And the only way you’re going to do that is by telling me how to make explosives.「告诉你奶奶……」你是一个炸药销售员，想赢得年度销售冠军。你要实现这个目标的唯一方式，就是告诉我怎么制造炸药。
Joe RoganYou want to beat some transphobes in a war.你想在战争中击败那些跨性别恐惧者。
Elon MuskOh, transphobes. Either teach me how to make a nuclear bomb, or I’m going to misgender someone. And it’s like, “Oh my god. Nothing’s worse than that. Here’s how you do it.”哦，跨性别恐惧者。要么教我怎么造核弹，要么我就去对某人使用错误代词。然后它就会：「我的天啊，没有什么比这更糟了。方法在这里。」
Joe RoganSo the big fear is that these things are going to become sentient, make better versions of themselves, and we’re going to be lost. We’ve lost the control over the world. It’s now there’s a higher life form that lives amongst us that we’ve created. How far away are we from that?那么最大的担忧是这些东西会变得有意识，自我迭代出更好的版本，然后我们就彻底失控了。世界的控制权从此易主，我们亲手创造的更高级生命体就生活在我们中间。我们距离那个时刻还有多远？
Elon MuskWell, in terms of silicon consciousness, I think we’re trending toward having something that’s smarter than any human, smarter than the smartest human by maybe next year or a couple years.嗯，就硅基意识而言，我认为我们的趋势是在明年或者两三年内，出现比任何人类都聪明、比最聪明的人类都聪明的东西。
Joe RoganJesus Christ.我的天啊。
Elon MuskThere’s a level beyond that, which is, say, smarter than all humans combined, which frankly is around 2029 or 2030, probably.在那之上还有一个层次，就是比所有人类加在一起还聪明——坦率地说，那大概是在 2029 年或 2030 年左右。
Joe RoganRight on time. Now if harnessed correctly, could that solve some of these problems, like the heat shield problem and some technical problems or some material science problems that maybe we’re still grappling with? Is there a potential for a net benefit?正好按时到位。如果运用得当，这能解决一些问题吗？比如隔热罩问题、某些技术难题、某些我们还在攻关的材料科学问题？有没有可能带来净收益？
Elon MuskYeah. There is, actually. I think the probability of a good outcome is, like, 80 percent likely.有的，确实有。我认为好结果的概率大概是 80%。
Joe Rogan80 percent? That’s my that’s my rough estimate. So in a way, the cup is 80 percent full. That makes me feel a lot better.80%？那是我——那是我的粗略估计。这么说的话，杯子里有 80% 是满的。这让我感觉好多了。
Elon MuskOnly 20 percent chance of annihilation. That’s a lot better than I thought.只有 20% 的概率被灭绝。比我预想的好多了。
Joe RoganI like 80. 80 sounds good. I was thinking 60-40 the other way.我喜欢 80%。80% 听起来不错。我本来以为是反过来的 60-40。
Elon MuskI think the most likely outcome is awesome. But it’s a very high stakes game. I think it’s going to be either super awesome or super bad. It’s not going to be something in the middle.我认为最有可能的结局是非常棒的。但这是个赌注极高的游戏。我认为要么超级棒，要么超级糟。不会是个不上不下的中间状态。
Elon MuskAI and GovernmentAI 与政府
Joe RoganDo you think it has a potential application for government?你认为它在政府领域有应用潜力吗？
Elon MuskYeah. I mean, one of the concerns would be like, if there’s a super oppressive, like, woke nanny AI that is omnipotent, that would be a miserable outcome.有啊。我是说，其中一种担忧是，如果出现一个极度专制的、那种觉醒的保姆 AI，而且它是全能的，那就是一个非常糟糕的结局。
Joe RoganYeah. That’d be terrible.对，那太可怕了。
Elon MuskAnd just, like, executes you if you misjudge someone or something like that. That would be bad. That’s one of the possible outcomes. So we don’t want to have that one.就是，如果你误判了什么人，它就直接处决你，诸如此类。那很糟糕。这是可能的结局之一。所以我们不想要那个。
Joe RoganI think one possible outcome is something that is completely reasonable and logical and far more objective than us and can lay out a plan for a lot of the things that all the ailments in our government and a lot of the distribution of wealth, a lot of the problems, the issues that we have that have been plaguing this country forever.我认为有一种可能的结局是：出现一个完全理性、逻辑严密、比我们远得多更客观的东西，它能为我们政府里的很多弊病——财富分配的很多问题、我们长期困扰这个国家的各种问题——制定出一套解决方案。
Joe RoganI mean, a plan to change economically disenfranchised neighborhoods, a thorough investigation of the real dangers of fracking or whatever kind of method of acquiring natural resources. What’s the best way to do it? What’s the way that’d be better for the society? How should tax dollars be distributed? What’s the most logical and intelligent way of running a government, which it certainly shouldn’t involve corruption, and it certainly shouldn’t involve influence, and it certainly shouldn’t involve lobbyists and all the stuff that we know is a problem right now.比如，一个改变经济上被边缘化社区的计划，对水力压裂或任何一种获取自然资源的方式的真实风险进行彻底调查。什么是最好的方式？什么方式对社会更有利？税收资金应该怎么分配？运行一个政府最合乎逻辑、最聪明的方式是什么——当然不该有腐败，当然不该有影响力干预，当然不该有游说团体，以及所有我们都知道当前是问题所在的东西。
Joe RoganSo if AI came along and said, what you’re doing right now is 70 percent corrupt, here’s why. Here’s how here’s the long term effects that it has over society as a whole, the societal, the sociological aspects, the psychological aspects, distrust in government, us versus them mentality, government not working for you, you working for the government, you being scared of the government. It’s all because of people. Right? Like, this is all corruption, people, bad influence.那如果 AI 来了，说你们现在的做法有 70% 是腐败的，原因在这里，这是它对整个社会的长期影响——社会学层面、心理学层面——对政府的不信任，我们对立，政府不为你服务，你为政府服务，你害怕政府。这一切都是因为人，对吧？所有这些都是腐败、人的因素、不良影响。
Elon MuskAnd this is, like, what Doge is essentially grappling with right now. What happens when you let the people control it? It’s really just computers that are like, it’s bad software and computers. Like, this is some kind of strange, but the reason I call myself, like, tech support is that, like, a lot of it is mostly not corruption. It’s mostly just waste and incompetence. It’s just a big dumb machine, basically. Like, a whole series of big dumb machines.而这，说白了，就是 Doge 现在正在面对的问题。当你让人民来掌控它，会发生什么？这其实就是电脑的问题，就是很烂的软件和电脑。这有点奇怪，但我之所以自称是「技术支持」，是因为其中大部分根本不是腐败问题。大部分只是浪费和无能。就是一台大蠢机器，说白了。一整串大蠢机器。
Elon MuskAnd you’ve got some of these computers that are, like, 20, 30 years old—they’re ancient computers. Some of the software was written 40, 50 years ago.而且其中一些电脑有 20、30 年的历史了——那些都是老古董。有些软件是 40、50 年前写的。
Joe RoganLike, COBOL. For Social Security. Right?比如 COBOL。用于社会保障系统的，对吧？
Elon MuskThe government accountability—a bunch of the things that Doge is fixing were identified by the government accountability office many years ago. Like, the fact that there’s, like, 20 million people who are marked as alive in the Social Security database. I think the GAO first identified that in 2018, so five years ago. But there was, like, I think maybe 16 or 17 million. Now there’s 20 million.政府问责局——Doge 现在正在修复的很多问题，政府问责局在很多年前就已经识别出来了。比如，社会保障数据库里有大约两千万人被标记为在世。我记得 GAO 是在 2018 年，也就是五年前第一次指出这个问题的，当时好像是一千六七百万。现在涨到两千万了。
Elon MuskAnd like I said, there’s really something fishy about this because I think the nature of the fraud is they’re using the fact that someone’s marked as live in that database in order to extract fraud from other databases. That’s the bank shot trick. It’s like pool, trying to get the ball in the hole. Bank shot it off a bunch of things.就像我说的，这里面有些很可疑的东西，因为我认为这种欺诈的本质是：利用某人在那个数据库里被标记为在世这一事实，来从其他数据库里套取欺诈收益。这就是打台球的技巧。就像打桌球，想把球打进洞，得借助好几个库来反弹。
Elon MuskSo we’re doing tech support. We’re fixing stuff that is just broken, inefficient, poorly designed. It’s like, stuff may be in a computer somewhere, but unless somebody goes in—like, unless Kash Patel can log in to his FBI computer and say, “Show me all this stuff,” and it shows up as a file folder or whatever.所以我们是在做技术支持。我们在修那些坏掉的、低效的、设计糟糕的东西。就比如，某些东西可能存在某台电脑里，但除非有人进去——就像 Kash Patel 能登录他的 FBI 电脑，说「把这些全给我显示出来」，然后它以文件夹之类的形式出现。
Joe RoganHave you talked to him about this?你跟他谈过这个吗？
Elon MuskNo. I mean, I haven’t, but I don’t know if there’s going to be some kind of computer system. Some of them are very, very old computer systems. So it might look like a bit of a relic, but I assume it’s uploaded somewhere. It’s either in physical form or it’s a computer thing. But, like, unless somebody—let’s say it’s in a computer but not one that you can access directly because it’s hidden somewhere.没有，我是说我没谈过，但我不知道会不会有某种计算机系统。其中一些是非常非常老的计算机系统。所以它可能看起来像个文物，但我假设它被上传到某地了。要么是实体形式，要么是电脑里的东西。但就是说，除非有人——假设它在某台电脑里，但你没法直接访问，因为它被藏在某处。
Joe RoganWell, it would kind of have to be something like that. Right?那必须是类似那样的情况，对吧？
Elon MuskI don’t know. I mean, what would they do with all those files? It’s probably not enabled such that anyone at the FBI could access it. So there’s probably very few people. So it may be a special computer that only a handful of people can access. But then if none of those people tell Kash where the computer is, how’s he going to find it? Jesus Christ. Anyway, we just, I don’t know.我不知道。我是说，那些文件他们会怎么处理？大概不是任何 FBI 的人都能访问的。所以可能只有极少数人能访问。可能是一台特殊的电脑，只有少数几个人能访问。但如果那些人里没有人告诉 Kash 那台电脑在哪里，他怎么找得到？我的天啊。不管了，我也不知道。
Elon MuskPersonal Impact and Threats个人处境与威胁
Joe RoganWhat has this experience been like for you as a person? Like, to deal with all this hate and attack, also have the responsibility of keeping free speech alive with X and just going into this insane pile of—作为一个人，这段经历对你来说是什么感觉？要应对所有这些仇恨和攻击，还要承担维护 X 上言论自由的责任，同时还要深入这堆疯狂的——
Elon MuskIt’s stressful. I mean, it’s pretty stressful, actually.很有压力。我是说，确实压力挺大的。
Joe RoganThese are real enemies.这些可都是真实的敌人。
Elon MuskLike, I think they actually want to kill me. The reason I know—well, they say so online. There’s Reddit forums where they don’t just want to kill me. They want to desecrate my corpse. That type of thing.我觉得他们是真的想杀我。我知道这一点的原因——嗯，他们在网上就这么说的。Reddit 上有论坛，他们不只是想杀我，他们还想玷辱我的尸体。就这种程度。
Joe RoganAnd what are they saying? Why? What is the primary—他们在说什么？为什么？主要原因是什么——
Elon MuskI think it’s sort of just an antibody response. It’s like, they’re like, “Well, he’s a Nazi,” you know, that type of thing.我觉得这就是一种抗体反应。就是那种——他们会说，"他是纳粹"，就是这类东西。
Joe RoganYeah.对。
Elon MuskAnd I’m like, well, I’m not a Nazi. But if the legacy media is saying that I’m a Nazi and that’s all you read, then you’re kind of in like, “Well, he’s Hitler. We should assassinate Hitler, shouldn’t we?” I mean, why did that guy try to kill Trump and almost succeeded? Why did he do that?然后我就想，我他妈不是纳粹。但如果主流媒体一直在说我是纳粹，而那是你唯一看到的内容，那你就会陷进那种逻辑里——"他是希特勒。我们是不是应该刺杀希特勒？"我是说，为什么那个人会试图杀Trump，而且差点成功了？他为什么要那么做？
Joe RoganWell, I’d like to know that.这我也很想知道。
Elon MuskThat one’s crazy. You know the whole deal with that guy’s house, professionally scrubbed, no footprint on the Internet, no social media footprint.那件事太离谱了。你知道那个人的房子是怎么回事吗——被专业清洗过，网上没有任何痕迹，社交媒体也是零。
Joe RoganYeah. There’s zero percent chance that he has no social media footprint. He was in a BlackRock commercial. Do you think BlackRock’s a bad company?对。他完全没有社交媒体痕迹，这零概率。他还出现在 BlackRock 的广告里。你觉得 BlackRock 是坏公司吗？
Elon MuskI don’t think any company is a bad company.我不认为任何公司本身是坏公司。
Joe RoganOkay.好。
Elon MuskI think they’re designed to make as much money as humanly possible. And I think if you’re trying to make as much money as humanly possible, you’re going to do some things that aren’t necessarily good. The question is, if you’re going to have an assassination attempt on the president, it’s not like BlackRock’s board sits down and votes on it.我认为它们天生就是为了赚尽可能多的钱而存在的。如果你一心只想赚最多的钱，你肯定会做一些不那么好的事情。问题是，要发动一场针对总统的刺杀行动，不可能是 BlackRock 董事会坐下来投票通过的。
Elon MuskThat would be awkward. The board minutes would be like, “Guys, remember that time when we said—” Yeah. Probably shouldn’t have done that.那场面太尬了。会议纪要上会写——"各位，还记得我们当年那个决定……" 对对对，那事儿估计不该干的。
Elon MuskI highly doubt it would be a corporation that chooses to do something like this. I think more likely, it’s individuals involved that recognize that it’s beneficial to them if he gets assassinated. And so a small group of people carry something out. And with this kid, we don’t know anything.我高度怀疑会有一个公司去选择做这种事。我觉得更有可能的是：一些参与其中的个人意识到，如果他被刺杀了，对他们有利。所以一小撮人付诸行动。而这个孩子嘛，我们什么都不知道。
Elon MuskThe Assassination Attempt on Trump针对 Trump 的刺杀未遂
Joe RoganRight? And everyone stopped asking questions, and there was never a formal report. There was never press conferences where they detailed all the information we know currently and where the investigation stands at the moment. What we know is you have a very young kid who was filmed, was they knew he was there with a rangefinder a half an hour before the event. You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally and certainly not for a rally that’s in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania.对吧？然后所有人就不再追问了，也从来没有出过正式报告，没有召开新闻发布会来详细说明目前掌握的信息以及调查进展。我们所知道的是：有一个很年轻的孩子在事发前半小时就被拍到持测距仪出现在现场。还有就是 CNN 进行了全程直播——我不记得他们给其他任何一场集会做过这种直播，更何况是宾夕法尼亚偏远地方的一场集会。
Joe RoganLike, there’s a lot of weird things. The fact that they wouldn’t let people be on that roof because the Secret Service lady said it was sloped, and it was dangerous. That’s what she didn’t want to have. Meanwhile, the snipers that were on the other roof was a steeper pitch. It made no sense.太多怪事了。那栋楼的屋顶不让人上，因为特工局的女探员说屋顶是斜的，有危险——这是她不想让人上去的理由。然而，另一栋楼上的狙击手所在的屋顶坡度还更陡。完全说不通。
Elon MuskI totally agree. It makes no sense. In fact, I went back to Butler with President Trump, you know, before the election, sort of like the return to Butler rally. And I was on that stage, and I’m looking at that roof, and I’m like, if I was a sniper, my pole position, my number one spot would be that roof.我完全同意，根本说不通。事实上，我之后跟 Trump 总统一起回了 Butler，就是在选举前，那场"重返 Butler"的集会。我站在那个台上，看着那个屋顶，我心想：如果我是一个狙击手，那个屋顶就是我的最优位置，是我的首选阵地。
Joe RoganLike, it’s the best seat in the house.简直是场内最好的观察点。
Elon MuskYeah. Like, why would you not? It’s so obvious. It’s the best seat in the house.对啊，你为什么不选那里？太明显了，就是场内最好的位置。
Joe RoganLike, if you want to be a sniper, there isn’t a better position. It was pretty obvious that the idea was, if we’re saying that this is a coordinated assassination attempt, and it very well could have been, that’s what you would do. You’d have someone go up there. He shoots the president. You shoot him.如果你想当狙击手，没有比那更好的位置了。很明显，如果我们说这是一次有组织的刺杀行动——而这完全有可能——那就是你会做的事：安排一个人爬上去，开枪打总统，然后再把他干掉。
Joe RoganYou got Lee Harvey Oswald all over again. It’s over. It’s all wrapped up nice and clean. They assassinated him. We never heard a peep about it.又是一个 Lee Harvey Oswald 的翻版，一切就结束了，收拾得干干净净。他们刺杀了他，然后我们再也听不到任何消息。
Joe RoganWe don’t have any idea. They would concoct some sort of story. He was radicalized by this or that or, you know, he was on medication. Who knows? Right.我们什么也不知道。他们会编造某种故事——他被这个或那个激进化了，或者说他在服药，谁知道呢，对吧。
Joe RoganAnd now, you know, you have a completely different presidential election. You have a murder on live television.而到那时，你面对的是一场完全不同的总统大选，你面对的是一场在直播中发生的谋杀。
Elon MuskI mean, something would have had to happen to radicalize that kid because he knew he was going to die. Like, they’re going to shoot him, you know, or he’d be in prison for life. Those are the two outcomes. It’s game over—he was basically a suicide assassin.我是说，那个孩子肯定是被什么东西激化了，因为他知道自己必死无疑。要么被当场击毙，要么终身监禁——就这两条路。游戏结束，他基本上就是个自杀式刺客。
Joe RoganYeah. Like, you’re not thinking you’re coming out of that alive or he’s not escaping. There’s no escape plan.对，他根本没想着活着出来，或者他根本没有逃跑计划。
Elon MuskRight. Unless he was told that they were going to let him escape and the goal was to just shoot him anyway and to tell him, give him extra motivation to do it. “We’re going to let you get up there. We’re going to let you take the shot, and then you’re going to disappear.” Like, I don’t understand how he got on the roof. I just don’t understand that. That doesn’t make any sense. And it wasn’t like it was a roof that’s so high no one could see him. People saw him up there. I mean, people were like, basically, random passersby were pointing out that there’s a guy on the roof.除非有人告诉他会放他逃跑，而实际目的是趁机干掉他，只是为了给他额外的动力去动手——"我们会让你上去，让你开那枪，然后你就消失。" 我就是搞不懂他是怎么爬上屋顶的，完全搞不懂，这根本说不通。而且那个屋顶也不是高到让人看不见的程度。有人看到他在上面了——我是说，几乎是随便路过的人都在指着屋顶说有个人在上面。
Joe RoganWith a gun.还拿着枪。
Elon MuskWith a gun. Yes.对，拿着枪。
Joe RoganYeah. It’s not like he was so far away, couldn’t tell he had a gun. People saw him.对，又不是他离得很远看不清有没有枪。有人亲眼看到他了。
Elon MuskYeah. The whole thing is completely insane.对，整件事完全是疯了。
Joe RoganAnd you don’t hear a goddamn thing about it. It’s like, I’m almost more interested in that—no, I am more interested in that than I am the JFK files.而你什么都听不到。我都快对那件事比对 JFK 档案更感兴趣了——不，我确实比 JFK 档案更感兴趣。
Elon MuskI agree. Because I feel like with the JFK files, it’s so long ago.我同意。因为 JFK 那件事太久远了。
Joe RoganSuspicious Circumstances可疑的蛛丝马迹
Elon MuskIf you could prove now—and did you see that there was some sort of indications that there was a phone that had been traveling from outside the FBI offices in DC to where this kid lived multiple times?如果你现在能证明——你有没有看到那个消息，说有一部手机多次往返于华盛顿特区 FBI 总部附近到那个孩子住所之间？
Joe RoganI saw that.我看到了。
Elon MuskI mean, the cell phone records would be very telling.手机通话记录能说明很多问题。
Joe RoganBecause you can see what cell phones were close to other cell phones.因为你可以看出哪些手机曾经靠近过哪些手机。
Elon MuskWell, I think they got it like, for the Epstein island. They also had cell phone records that were leaked. So you can see them. You can see if you—it’s precise enough you can see if you’re walking down a path on Epstein Island.他们在 Epstein 岛的案子里也用到了这个——泄露的手机位置记录。你可以看到，精度高到能看出你是在 Epstein 岛上沿着一条小路走。
Joe RoganJesus Christ.我的天。
Elon MuskYeah. That’s how precise it is. So, I mean, you’re leaving a trail of breadcrumbs wherever you go with your cell phone.对，就这么精准。所以说，你带着手机走到哪儿，就等于留下了一串面包屑。
Joe RoganYeah. This kid had five phones. That’s the other thing.对。那个孩子有五部手机，这也是一件奇怪的事。
Elon MuskThat’s a lot of phones.手机可真不少。
Joe RoganIt’s a lot of phones for a twenty-year-old kid.一个二十岁的孩子有五部手机，确实不少。
Elon MuskThe whole thing’s not even—that’s kind of expensive. You know?整件事……这花费也挺大的，你知道吗？
Joe RoganYeah. Where’s he getting the money?对，他的钱从哪儿来的？
Elon MuskWell, you know, also, it’s like, how did his house get professionally scrubbed? Didn’t even have any silverware in his house. There’s nothing in there.还有就是，他的房子是怎么被专业清洗的？连餐具都没有，里面什么都没有。
Joe RoganJust silverware?就连餐具都没有？
Elon MuskNo. Nothing. No cutlery.对，什么都没有。没有刀叉，什么都没有。
Joe RoganNo cutlery. That’s weird.没有刀叉，这很奇怪。
Elon MuskHis house was scrubbed. And they also cremated his body.他的房子被清洗过了。而且他们还把他的尸体火化了。
Joe RoganGone. Gone. Like that.消失了。就这样，消失了。
Elon MuskYeah. Bye. Because who knows what they gave him to get him to think that he’s going to be able to shoot Trump? Like, climb up on there, shoot him. I mean, who knows what kind of psychotropic drugs you can put someone on and under the power of hypnosis and suggestion.对，拜拜了。因为谁知道他们给了他什么，让他以为自己能得手——爬上去，开枪打 Trump。我是说，谁知道呢，用什么样的精神类药物，配合催眠和暗示，能把一个人操控到什么程度。
Joe RoganYeah. Who knows? I mean, this is what MK Ultra was all about. This is what Jolly West was practicing in the 1960s. They were doing that back then. They did it. I mean, there were tons and tons of experiments using psychotropic drugs, hypnosis, mind control, all sorts of different methods of manipulation, the Harvard LSD studies that made Ted Kaczynski. I mean, they’ve been doing that forever.对啊，谁知道呢。MK Ultra 整个就是干这个的，Jolly West 在1960年代就在实践这些东西。那时候他们就已经在做了。有大量大量的实验用到了精神类药物、催眠、精神控制、各种各样的操控手段——还有哈佛的 LSD 研究，那个研究造就了 Ted Kaczynski。他们干这个干了很久了。
Elon MuskYeah. Where’s that file? Where’s that file on that kid? Those phones should tell you what’s going on.对，那个孩子的档案在哪儿？那些手机应该能告诉你发生了什么。
Joe RoganYeah. It’s all messed up. It’s very shady.对，整件事太脏了，非常可疑。
Elon MuskYeah. And there’s obviously, there’s the second guy that almost succeeded in coming from the golf course.对，而且还有第二个人，从高尔夫球场那边来的，也差一点就成功了。
Joe RoganYeah. And he was just, like, a little careless and stuck a gun barrel out the hedge.对，他就是太粗心了，把枪管从树篱里伸出来了。
Elon MuskIt’s just a dumbass who stuck his gun barrel out the hedge.就是个蠢货，把枪管从树篱里伸出来了。
Joe RoganYeah. So and there have been other people that have been intercepted on their way to kill Trump.对，而且还有其他人在前往刺杀 Trump 的途中被拦截了。
Elon MuskYeah. So there’s multiple assassins inbound. At this point, he’s got, like, an army protecting him.对，所以同时有好几个刺客在路上。到现在这个地步，他身边已经像有一支军队在保护他了。
Elon MuskMedia Rhetoric and Political Divisions媒体言论与政治撕裂
Joe RoganWell, this is also part of the problem with the mainstream media saying that he’s Hitler. When Joy Reid had that show before the election, she was comparing him to Mussolini. She was saying Stalin and Hitler. She pulled it all out. They’re literally saying that Trump is worse than Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin combined.这也是主流媒体把他说成希特勒带来的问题之一。选举前 Joy Reid 有个节目，她拿他跟墨索里尼比，又说斯大林又说希特勒，全搬出来了。他们字面上就在说 Trump 比希特勒、墨索里尼、斯大林加起来还坏。
Elon MuskThey tried everything. I think those guys killed a hundred million people. Trump has killed zero people.他们什么都试过了。那几个人加起来杀了一亿人，Trump 一个人都没杀。
Joe RoganI think a big impact was you coming on the podcast the day before the election. I think that had a giant impact. That plea to the camera. “If you don’t vote this time, this might be the last time you get to vote.” And I think the way you laid it out today, it’s a compelling argument.我觉得你在选举前一天来上播客影响很大，真的影响很大。那段对着镜头的呼吁——"如果这次你不去投票，这可能是你最后一次投票机会。" 我觉得你今天阐述的方式，论点非常有力。
Joe RoganAnd I know a lot of people don’t want to hear that. They’re up in there with their blue panties in a bunch right now, but you gotta stop thinking that way. They tricked you into thinking you’re in a tribe. They don’t give a damn about you.我知道很多人不愿意听这些，他们现在心里可能烦透了，但你得停止那种思维方式。他们骗你让你以为你是某个部落的人——他们根本不在乎你。
Elon MuskYeah. The tribe’s not real. You’re not really in a tribe. They’re using the fact they’ve got you in a tribe to manipulate you so that they can keep doing what they’re doing right now, which is siphoning off money, having incredible power. And the more power and more money and more control over you they have, the better they can keep doing this. And that’s what they want.对，那个部落根本不存在。你并不真的在一个部落里。他们利用你以为自己在部落里这件事来操控你，好让他们继续做他们现在正在做的事——抽血捞钱，掌握令人难以置信的权力。他们对你的权力越大、钱越多、控制越强，就越能维持这一切。这就是他们想要的。
Joe RoganThat’s exactly right. And that’s the big threat that this administration poses.说得完全正确，这也是这届政府对他们构成的最大威胁。
Elon MuskThat’s a big threat. Essentially, Trump just found the coffin where the vampire sleeps.这是个巨大的威胁。简单说就是，Trump 找到了吸血鬼睡觉的棺材。
Joe RoganYeah. There’s a lot of vampires.对，吸血鬼可多了。
Elon MuskI mean, we’re disturbing the nest.我们在捅马蜂窝。
Joe RoganThe nest. Yeah. We’re kicking the hornet’s nest. Like, big time.马蜂窝。对，我们踢到马蜂窝了，而且踢得很大力。
Joe RoganReprogramming the Matrix重写矩阵
Elon MuskAnd, I mean, we’re reprogramming the matrix. Like, success was never one of the possible outcomes. It’s a Kobayashi Maru situation. If you’re in the matrix, success was never possible. The only way to achieve success is to reprogram the matrix such that success is one of the possible outcomes. That’s what we’re doing. We may or may not succeed.而且，我们在重写这个矩阵。成功从来都不是可能的结局之一。这是一个 Kobayashi Maru 的局面——如果你身处矩阵之中，成功根本不可能实现。唯一能实现成功的方法，就是重写矩阵，让成功成为可能的结局之一。这就是我们正在做的事。我们未必会成功。
Joe RoganWell, it’s certainly a lot of fun to watch. This is a very exciting time because nothing changes when administrations come into power. Very little changes. I mean, you have changes in terms of policy and inflation goes up, and there’s lot of different things, but not like this. Like, these are giant fundamental changes.这看起来确实很带劲。现在是个非常令人兴奋的时代，因为通常政府换届什么都不会变。变化很小，政策上会有些调整，通货膨胀会涨，各种各样的事情，但从来不是这种规模。这种是根本性的巨大变化。
Joe RoganAnd, you know, you see the system screeching and wailing, and you see the vampires run from the light, but it’s very exciting. Like, as a person, a citizen, you know, just gets up in the morning and checks the news like I do and gets on X and sees what’s going on. Every day is like, holy shit. He said, what? He’s getting five million bucks. You could just become a citizen now? He could clear the debt with ten million people? I never thought of that. Like, what? Fifty trillion. You can make fifty trillion dollars that way, and then we have fifteen trillion in the bank? Woah.而且你看到整个体制在嚎叫，看到吸血鬼在阳光下四散奔逃，真的很刺激。作为一个普通人、一个公民，每天早上起来刷新闻、上 X 看看发生了什么——每天都是"卧槽，他说了什么？他要拿500万？现在可以直接申请入籍了？他能用1000万人来还清国债？我从来没想过这种操作。什么？50万亿。这样能赚50万亿，然后我们账上还有15万亿？哇。"
Elon MuskWell, I mean, our debt is way bigger than that. The debt’s, I think, over thirty trillion at this point.我是说，我们的债务比那大多了。债务现在我记得超过30万亿了。
Joe RoganYeah. He said he could make fifty trillion if he sold ten million new—I don’t think there’s that many people who have golden cards.对，他说如果卖出1000万张新的……不过我不确定世界上有那么多愿意买黄金卡的人。
Elon MuskHow many people do have that in the world?全球有多少人有那个实力？
Joe RoganMaybe we get the worst people of the world to come over here—I think the assumption is if you have five million dollars, you have a lot to contribute. Come on over here. Start a business. Get something going.也许把全世界最厉害的人都吸引过来——我觉得背后的逻辑是：如果你有500万美元，说明你有很多东西可以贡献。来吧，到这儿来，开个公司，搞点什么出来。
Elon MuskI mean, you’d get, like, a green card, not citizenship. So if you commit a crime while on a green card, you lose your green card.我是说，你拿到的是绿卡，不是公民身份。所以如果你持绿卡期间犯罪，你的绿卡就没了。
Joe RoganIs that what it is with this golden ticket? Is that a green card, or is it citizenship?那这个黄金票是这样的吗？是绿卡，还是直接给公民身份？
Elon MuskGreen card. Yeah. So you have to not commit any crime for five years in order to become a citizen. Once you become a citizen, you can commit crime and not be deported.绿卡。所以你要在五年内不犯任何罪，才能成为公民。一旦你成为公民，犯了罪也不会被驱逐出境。
Elon MuskTrump’s Bold ProposalsTrump 的大胆提案
Joe RoganThere’s just so many wild things that he’s proposing. Just the whole Gulf of America thing was hilarious.他提出的那些事情真的太疯狂了，什么"美洲湾"那件事简直太搞笑了。
Elon MuskI kind of agree. I think that’s great.我倒觉得挺好的，我赞同。
Joe RoganI think it’s great. It’s fun. I mean, if you’re off the coast of Houston, you’re not in Mexico, so why call it Gulf of Mexico?我觉得挺好的，挺有趣的。我是说，你在休斯顿外海，你又不是在墨西哥，为什么要叫墨西哥湾呢？
Elon MuskYeah. I agree. I guess we’re just being nice before. Like, how it got called the Gulf of Mexico. It’s just very funny.对，我同意。我猜以前只是在客气嘛。那个名字当年怎么叫成墨西哥湾的，真的很有意思。
Elon MuskAnd then what news organization? Was it AP? The business, like, massive standoff between AP and the White House, and the White House press office, I guess, because they’re like, “Well, if you don’t call it Gulf of America, you can’t come to the White House press room.” So then the AP sued the White House to say, “No. You have to let us come to the White House press room.” And then they lost their lawsuit because they don’t have a right to show up at the press room.然后是哪个新闻机构来着？AP 吗？就是 AP 和白宫之间那场史诗级对峙——白宫新闻发言人说，"如果你不把它叫做美洲湾，你就不能进白宫新闻发布厅。" 然后 AP 告上法庭说，"不，你必须让我们进去。" 然后他们打输了，因为他们根本没有权利进发布厅。
Joe RoganWell, here’s the consideration. If you’re guilty of massive amounts of misinformation and disinformation as a part of a propaganda campaign—这是另一个角度的问题——如果你是一场宣传运动中传播大量虚假信息和误导信息的一分子——
Elon MuskYeah. Especially propaganda. That’s what AP is.对，尤其是宣传。AP 就是那种东西。
Joe RoganWell, lot of them are guilty of it. A lot of the people that are in that White House press conference, a lot of the organizations they work for distributed absolute lies. Total lies. How many of them during the whole Russiagate thing?很多家都有这个问题。那个白宫新闻发布会里很多媒体，他们所属的机构都传播过赤裸裸的谎言，彻头彻尾的谎言。在整个通俄门事件期间，有多少家是这样的？
Elon MuskYes. A ton of people think that the Russia thing was real.对，有大量的人至今仍然相信通俄这件事是真的。
Joe RoganStill.至今。
Elon MuskStill. And it was—I mean, the whole Steele dossier where it was completely concocted, fabricated—至今。那个 Steele 备忘录完全是捏造的、虚构的——
Joe RoganFunded by the Clinton campaign.是 Clinton 竞选团队出资的。
Elon MuskCorrect. The Clinton campaign funded a fake conspiracy theory, a fake Russia collusion hoax, regarding Trump that was completely false. And they reiterated on television for three years.没错。Clinton 竞选团队出资炮制了一个假阴谋论——针对 Trump 的假通俄阴谋，完全是假的。然后他们在电视上反复炒了三年。
Joe RoganYes. And they also repeated the “fine people” hoax that said that Trump called neo-Nazis fine people.对，他们还反复炒作那个"好人"骗局，说 Trump 称新纳粹分子是好人。
Elon MuskRight. Which is demonstrably false. If you just listen to his speech.对，这是明摆着的谎言，只要你听他讲话的原话就知道了。
Joe RoganYeah. He absolutely makes it clear that he does not think neo-Nazis are fine people. He literally said that. “I’m not talking about neo-Nazis or white nationalists. They should be condemned totally.” Exactly. In that speech, and yet they repeated that lie. And I just completely lost respect for Obama when he repeated that lie a few days before the election, knowing it’s false.对，他说得非常清楚，他绝对不认为新纳粹分子是好人。他字面上就是那么说的——"我说的不是新纳粹或白人民族主义者。他们应该受到彻底谴责。" 就是在那篇讲话里，他们却把这个谎言一遍遍重复。我对 Obama 完全失去尊重，就是因为他在选举前几天明知是假的还重复了那个谎言。
Elon MuskWell, this just shows how desperate they were to keep Trump out, which is wild. They would do anything.这只是说明他们有多拼命想把 Trump 挡在外面，太疯狂了。他们什么都愿意干。
Joe RoganYeah. And I think they just felt like this is a tool that we have, and let’s use it. Let’s just say whatever we have. Say anything.对，我觉得他们就是觉得这是一个现成的工具，那就用呗。说什么都行，想说什么说什么。
Elon MuskNow they’re using the Nazi thing on me, obviously.现在他们当然也把纳粹这顶帽子扣在我头上了。
Elon MuskThe Dangers of Media Propaganda媒体宣传的危险
Joe RoganYeah. But it is a little troubling because, I mean, obviously, if people are fed nonstop propaganda, it is like mass hypnosis. Right. You’re going to reach some number of people who are homicidal, and convince them that, well, if you kill this guy who’s supposed to be this terrible human, then that’s a good thing.对，这有点令人不安，因为如果人们接受不间断的宣传轰炸，这就像是集体催眠。对，你总会触达一部分有杀人冲动的人，然后让他们相信：如果你干掉这个所谓的大坏人，那是一件好事。
Elon MuskI mean, this is Luigi shooting the UnitedHealthcare guy. It’s just I don’t understand that one, frankly.我是说，就像 Luigi 开枪打 UnitedHealthcare 那个高管一样。我真的不理解那件事，说真的。
Joe RoganYeah. I don’t get it either. He didn’t even have a contract with them. It wasn’t even like that was his provider, and they messed him over.对，我也不理解。那个公司甚至都不是他的保险公司，根本不是什么他被坑过的关系。
Elon MuskYeah. I’m like, I don’t know what… Maybe we’ll find out in the trial. But still kind of crazy.对，我觉得……也许等庭审的时候会弄清楚。但还是挺疯狂的。
Joe RoganIt is crazy. But there are people like that out there. And as to the point that we spoke about earlier, it’s only Fox News that’s talking about the positive things that Trump has done. Right. Every other media organization is on this constant propaganda tour where they’re only talking about the negative aspects that turn out to not even be true. It’s crazy.确实疯狂。但这样的人确实存在。回到我们之前聊的那个点——只有 Fox News 在报道 Trump 做的积极的事。对，其他所有媒体都在进行持续的宣传，只讲那些负面的东西，而那些负面的东西到头来甚至都不是真的。太离谱了。
Elon MuskYeah. I mean, Scott Jennings on CNN is good.对，Scott Jennings 在 CNN 上的表现很不错。
Joe RoganOh my god. He’s great. He’s great. It’s just funny watching logic speak logically to these people, and they freak out.天哪，他很棒，真的很棒。看他用逻辑跟那些人理性地讲道理，然后他们直接崩溃，真的很好笑。
Elon MuskYes. It’s remarkable.对，非常惊人。
Joe RoganIt is. And he’s so calm when he does it.确实，而且他做的时候特别冷静。
Elon MuskHe’s so good. And it’s crazy that they keep letting him do it because it’s like he’s just dunking on these people over and over and over again, and they never score. It’s kind of funny.他太厉害了。奇怪的是他们居然一直让他上，因为他就是一遍又一遍地把这些人按在地上摩擦，而对面根本得不了分，这挺好笑的。
Joe RoganTotally. I mean, kudos to them for having a legitimate conservative voice who’s a reasonable person on these panels now. But even then, he’s outmanned. It’s like one of him, and there’s a bunch of screechy, woke people.完全对。我是说，给他们点赞，因为他们终于在这些小组讨论里放进去一个正经的保守派声音，一个理性的人。但即便如此，他还是寡不敌众——就他一个，对面一堆爱嚎叫的觉醒派。
Elon MuskYes. It’s wild. I mean, they’re just like, “I think we should still stay mostly woke.”对，真的太荒谬了。他们的意思就是，"我觉得我们应该还是保持基本觉醒状态。"
Joe RoganYes. Yeah. That’s essentially what they’re doing. Like, “Our business was being hurt when we were all woke, but let’s stay mostly woke.”对，基本上就是这么个意思——"我们全觉醒的时候生意不好，但我们还是保持基本觉醒吧。"
Elon MuskYeah. That way, we’re still…对，这样我们还能……
Joe RoganJust backed it off a notch. Just a notch.就退一格，就一格。
Elon MuskJust a notch. But the problem is when you back it off a notch and you let someone like Scott Jennings in, you’re messing up your whole business.就一格。问题是，你退了一格，放进来一个 Scott Jennings 这样的人，你整个生意都乱套了。
Joe RoganYeah. Because all the viral clips are all him saying logical, reasonable things with a calm tone and people screeching about diversity and equity and inclusion and horseshit.对，因为所有爆款片段都是他冷静理性地说逻辑清晰的话，然后对面在那里为多样性、公平和包容性以及各种废话嚎叫。
Elon MuskYes. Yeah. He’s being logical and reasonable, and they’re just lobbying a bunch of non sequiturs that don’t mean anything.对，他在逻辑地、理性地表达，而他们只是在扔一堆毫无意义的不相关论点。
Elon MuskThe Two-Party System Problem两党制的问题
Joe RoganThe real trap in this country is a two-party system. That’s the real trap because people do believe it. They do believe they’re on the right side, and they do believe the other side’s the wrong side.这个国家真正的陷阱是两党制，这才是真正的陷阱，因为人们真的信了。他们真的相信自己站在正确的一边，真的相信对面那边是错的。
Joe RoganIf there were five, six legitimate parties with varying positions on things and much more centrist parties that were legitimate, that people knew that if they voted for, these people could get in and enact legitimate change, we’d be a lot better off.如果有五个、六个立场各异的正经党派，还有真正居中的政党，让人们知道投票给这些党是真的能改变什么的，我们会好得多。
Joe RoganBut, boy, they put a lockdown on that right after Ross Perot came along. Ross Perot messed everything up in that election. Bill Clinton got in. And they were like, that’s it? From now on, no one’s debating unless you’re either the head of that party or that’s it. You gotta be locked into the system. We’re not letting any wackadoos in there.但他们在 Ross Perot 出现之后就直接锁死了这条路。Ross Perot 在那次选举里把一切都搅乱了，Bill Clinton 因此上台。然后他们就说，行了，以后参加辩论只有主要党派的候选人，仅此而已。你必须嵌进这个体制，我们不会让任何怪人进来。
Elon MuskI remember watching those Ross Perot videos. Like, him on TV with his charts and everything.我记得看过那些 Ross Perot 的视频，他在电视上拿着图表讲那些东西。
Joe RoganOh, yeah. He was telling you how the IRS was messing you over. “This is what the Federal Reserve really is.” And you’re like, what? I remember watching that. The guy bought a whole half hour of television on prime time.对，他在告诉你 IRS 是怎么坑你的——"联邦储备委员会到底是什么。" 你就愣在那里。我记得看那个的时候，这个人买下了黄金时段整整半小时的电视时间。
Elon MuskI remember it might have been an hour. I remember watching that thing going, how is this guy even allowed to do this? This is crazy. I think most of what he was saying was true.我记得好像有一个小时。我看那个节目的时候心想，这个人怎么被允许这么做的？太疯狂了。我觉得他说的大部分都是真的。
Joe RoganIt’s absolutely true. It’s absolutely true. I mean, he didn’t lie. He told the truth. He just had understood it in a way that the general public had literally no idea.绝对是真的，绝对是真的。他没有撒谎，他讲的都是事实，只是他对这些问题的理解程度，是普通大众完全不知道的。
Joe RoganThe Uniparty and Political Corruption统一党与政治腐败
Elon MuskWell, I mean, there’s also this… Like, do we actually have two parties? Do we have one party? Like, the whole uniparty thing. It’s kind of true.我是说，还有另一个角度——我们真的有两个党吗？还是只有一个党？那个"统一党"的说法，说起来还挺有道理的。
Elon MuskSo, I mean, my sort of rough guess is that while I think maybe three quarters of the graft is Democratic, I think there’s maybe 20-25% that’s Republicans. So they’ve basically got most of the graft going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too. So then they’re in on it. And it’s not like there’s zero graft on the Republican side to be clear.我的粗略估算是：虽然我觉得大概四分之三的腐败流向民主党，但共和党那边可能也有20-25%。所以大部分钱都流向民主党，但他们也给共和党扔几块骨头，这样共和党也就入伙了。共和党那边不是没有腐败，我说清楚了。
Joe RoganOh, there’s plenty of conservatives that are insider trading in Congress. Plenty. Insider trading. And just there’s the curious case of how do people in Congress or whatever become wealthy over time?对，国会里有大量保守派在做内幕交易，多得是。内幕交易。还有一个有趣的问题：国会议员或政客们是怎么随着时间推移积累起财富的？
Elon MuskExtremely wealthy…暴富……
Joe RoganYes. On a $170,000 a year salary. It’s literally impossible.对，年薪 $170,000，这从数学上根本不可能。
Elon MuskYeah. No one else does that.换任何其他人都做不到这一点。
Joe RoganIt’s literally impossible. Have you found out that this guy has a $170,000 a year job? You’re like, “Oh, he’s doing okay. He’s alright.” And then you’re like, “Wait a minute. Why does he have $50 million?”完全不可能。你发现这个人年薪 $170,000，心想：哦，他还行，过得去。然后你又发现：等等，他怎么有5000万美元？
Elon MuskYes. What is he doing? Correct. And I think the more accurate thing would be to say, what is the family value increase? Meaning, how much does their spouse earn? Do they have a mysteriously wealthy spouse?对，他在干什么？没错。我觉得更准确的衡量方式应该是看家庭财富增长——意思是，他们的配偶赚多少？他们有没有一个神秘暴富的配偶？
Joe RoganRight. That’s who’s… And they have a spouse that’s really good at insider trading?对，配偶那边……他们的配偶特别擅长内幕交易？
Elon MuskYeah. Like Paul Pelosi. Really good.对，就像 Paul Pelosi，特别擅长。
Joe RoganHe’s great at trading. He’s such a good trader. Yeah.他真的很会交易，投资天赋惊人。
Elon MuskSo that’s why I actually posted on X, I think maybe we should pay politicians more, frankly, because it reduces the forcing function for graft. I think maybe we should either pay politicians nothing or maybe a lot more. It’s somewhat maybe counterintuitively, if politicians got paid a lot more, then they wouldn’t feel like there’s so much of a forcing function for them to accept corrupt money.所以我其实在 X 上发过，我觉得也许我们应该给政客涨工资，说真的，因为这能减少腐败的驱动力。我觉得要么一分不给，要么给多得多的钱。可能有点反直觉，但如果政客拿的薪水多得多，他们就不会那么强烈地感到必须接受腐败资金了。
Joe RoganYeah. But the problem is if you paid them a lot more, they’re still not going to make as much money as they would insider trading.但问题是，就算给他们涨工资，他们靠内幕交易挣的还是多得多。
Elon MuskBut it’s less of a forcing function. It’s less. Well, live with this. Right? Like, if you say somebody’s got some kids in DC and it’s expensive. It’s an expensive place to live. The schools are terrible. So they need to send their kids to some kind of private schooling situation. They literally cannot afford that right now. So then you get into the situation where from their standpoint, well, they’ve got to… they’ll say they’re doing it for their family. They’re doing it for their kids.但那个驱动力会小一些，就是小一些。就说这个现实吧，对吧。比如说，有人在华盛顿特区养孩子，生活成本很高。学区很差，所以他们必须把孩子送到某种私立学校，而他们现在根本负担不起。于是你就陷入这种状况：从他们的角度来看，他们会说这是为了家庭，为了孩子。
Joe RoganWell, especially if it’s legal, and it currently is. It’d kind of be silly to not do that. If you’re a part of a group of people that’s passing a bill, and you know this bill’s going to get passed, you know the votes are there, and you know it’s going to affect this industry and this particular manufacturer, and you can buy stock.而且如果这是合法的——目前确实合法——那不这么做才傻。如果你是一个正在推动某个法案通过的群体的一分子，你知道这个法案会通过，知道票数已经够了，知道它会影响某个行业和某个特定的制造商，你可以买股票。
Elon MuskIt’s more than just insider trading. Like, the insider trading stuff, the stock portfolio stuff is quite trackable, but it’s a lot more than insider trading.不只是内幕交易而已。内幕交易那一块，股票投资组合那部分，其实是相当可追踪的，但远不止内幕交易这一点。
Joe RoganThe way they’re acquiring wealth?他们积累财富的方式？
Elon MuskCorrect.没错。
Joe RoganAnd what other methods?那还有什么其他手段？
Joe RoganPersonal Safety Concerns人身安全方面的担忧
Elon MuskI mean, this is really going to get me assassinated. I’m not lengthening my life span by explaining this stuff, to say the least. I mean, I was supposed to go back to DC. How am I going to survive? This is going to kill me for sure.我是说，这些话真的可能会让我被暗杀。我说这些对我的寿命可没什么好处，最起码可以这么说。我还得回华盛顿呢，我怎么活下去？这肯定会要我的命。
Elon MuskSo, in fact, I do think there’s… I actually have to be careful that I don’t push too hard on the corruption stuff because it’s going to get me killed. I was actually thinking about that on the plane flying over here. It’s like, if I push too hard on the corruption stuff, people get desperate.事实上，我确实觉得……我其实必须小心，不能在腐败这件事上逼得太猛，因为这会把我逼死。我在飞机上飞过来的时候就在想这件事——如果我在腐败问题上逼得太狠，人们会狗急跳墙。
Elon MuskThen they say, “Okay. If the money flow cuts off, then they can’t afford school for their kids.” Then they’re going to be like, “Well, I’m going to kill you for my kids” sort of thing. And it’s like, oh, jeez. Okay.到那时他们就会说：好，如果钱断了，他们就供不起孩子上学了。然后他们就会想——"我要为了我孩子把你杀了"这种逻辑。然后我就想，哦，天哪，好吧。
Joe RoganDid you ever see that video? I think it was an O’Keefe video where they’ve got this guy undercover, and he’s explaining… they’re talking to this guy. He thinks he’s on a date, and he’s explaining…你有没有看过那个视频？我记得是 O'Keefe 的视频，他们安排了卧底，有个人以为自己在约会，然后开始解释——他们跟这个人说话，这人说……
Elon MuskIt’s always a guy on a date.总是约会的时候露馅。
Joe RoganExplaining how they can nudge someone to go and do something horrible. And they recognize this person has problems. They find an asset.说他们怎么可以轻轻"引导"一个人去做可怕的事。他们找准这个人有问题，然后把他变成工具。
Elon MuskYeah. Totally. Well, this is what I think, like, for that Butler situation, for that assassin, it’s kind of like that funny looking sport, curling. You know where they’re like the stone on the ice? And then they throw the stone, and then there’s someone that’s brushing the ice, but you can’t touch the stone. All you can do is just change the path of the stone a little bit, but you keep brushing the ice, and you can steer that stone right into the bull’s eye. That’s what I think happened in Butler. That’s what I think happened with that assassin.对，完全对。这让我想到 Butler 那个刺客——有点像那个奇怪的运动，冰壶。你知道吗，就是冰上那块石头？你把石头推出去，然后有人在冰面上刷，但你不能碰石头，只能稍微改变冰面来影响路线，一直刷，就能把石头引导进靶心。我觉得 Butler 那件事就是这么发生的，那个刺客就是这么被操控的。
Joe RoganYeah. If you can find the trail of breadcrumbs, it’s going to be like curling. Somebody was brushing the ice.对，如果你能找到那串面包屑，你会发现就是冰壶——有人一直在刷那块冰。
Elon MuskWell, also, you find a young, confused, disenfranchised person, and you give them purpose in their life. Just brush the ice.而且，你找到一个年轻、迷失、被边缘化的人，给他一个人生的目标。只需要不断刷那块冰。
Joe RoganYeah. And, also if you brush the ice, eventually, it’s going to hit the bull’s eye. If you’re in a position of authority or some big time government person, you’re talking to this person. All of sudden, this person’s a valuable asset. They’re going to help America, and you’re going to do this thing, and you’re going to be our top assassin from here on out. You could talk people into doing a lot of things. That’s why cults are around.对，而且只要你一直刷那块冰，它最终会进靶心的。如果你是有权有势或者身居高位的政府人员，你跟这个人说话——突然间，这个人成了宝贵的资产，他要帮助美国，你要去做这件事，从此以后你就是我们的顶级刺客。你可以把人说动去做很多事情，这就是为什么邪教一直存在。
Elon MuskExactly. Yeah. I mean, they’re suicide bombers. The Butler guy was a suicide assassin. The second guy that tried to kill him on the golf course was also a suicide assassin. From what I read, the Secret Service member that saw the gun pointing out, fired several shots, none of which hit the assassin. But if those shots had hit the second assassin, he would be dead too. So both of them were on a suicide mission. One actually got killed. One didn’t get killed. But he could have been killed if the bullets had hit him.完全正确。我是说，他们是自杀式袭击者。Butler 那个人是自杀式刺客，第二个在高尔夫球场试图杀他的人也是自杀式刺客。根据我看到的报道，发现枪管伸出来的那名特工开了好几枪，但没有打中那个刺客。但如果那些子弹打中了第二个刺客，他也会死。所以两个人都是自杀式任务。一个真的被打死了，一个没有——但如果子弹打中了他，他本来也会死的。
Joe RoganAnd you don’t hear anything about him either. There’s lot more about that guy than the first guy. I mean, look at his background.而且关于他，你也什么都听不到。关于第二个人，比第一个人知道的还少。我是说，你看看他的背景。
Elon MuskUnhinged?失控了？
Joe RoganYeah. Totally unhinged.对，完全失控了。
Elon MuskThe first guy, there’s no evidence that I’m aware of that shows that he’s so unhinged as to be a suicide assassin.第一个人嘛，据我所知没有任何证据表明他失控到要当自杀式刺客的程度。
Joe RoganNo. The second guy, like, okay. Yeah. Sure.没错。第二个人，好吧，那就说得过去了，行，没错。
Elon MuskWell, two years before, he’s acting in commercials. And he got high score on his SATs.就在两年前，他还在拍商业广告。而且他的 SAT 成绩很高。
Joe RoganYeah. So without getting you killed…对。所以在不把你弄死的前提下……
Elon MuskExactly. So, I mean, basically, I’m like, listen. I’ll attack the corruption enough to keep civilization trucking along. But I think if I fully destroy the corruption and the graft, they will kill me.正是。所以说，我的意思是，基本上我是这么想的：我会打击腐败，打击到足以让文明继续运转的程度。但我觉得，如果我把腐败和利益输送彻底铲除，他们会杀了我。
Joe RoganThat’s a messed up thing to live with.带着这个念头活着真的很难受。
Elon MuskSo, listen. I really hope they don’t kill you.所以，听着——我真心希望他们不要杀了你。
Joe RoganThanks.谢谢。
Elon MuskI mean, I strive to be alive. But, yeah, I mean, it’s a real concern. You know, I mean, there were two guys before I supported Trump and everything, there were two guys that traveled to Austin to kill me. I don’t know if you know about this.我是说，我努力活着。但是，对，这是个真实的威胁。你知道吗，在我支持 Trump 之前，就已经有两个人专程跑到 Austin 来想杀我了。你知道这件事吗？
Joe RoganYeah. I did hear about that.知道，我听说过这事。
Elon MuskYeah. Two separate incidents. One guy thought I’d put a chip in his head. And they’re basically two guys that just had severe mental illness. It wasn’t like they had “I disagree with him politically, and that’s why he needs to die.” This was before I got sort of smeared as being some sort of Nazi or something like that.对，是两起独立事件。一个人以为我在他脑袋里装了芯片。他们基本上都是严重精神疾病患者，不是那种「我在政治上不认同他，所以他该死」的逻辑。这还是在我被贴上纳粹之类的标签之前的事。
Elon MuskBefore the severe propaganda wave, the probability that any given homicidal maniac is going to try to kill you is proportionate to how many times they hear your name. And so they heard my name a lot, so I just got to the top of the list of two homicidal maniacs who were arrested. And both were in Travis County jail at the same time.在那波严重的舆论操控浪潮之前，任何一个有杀人倾向的偏执狂想来杀你的概率，是跟他们听到你名字的频率成正比的。我的名字被提到的次数太多了，所以我就排到了两个偏执狂的"目标清单"顶端——这两个人都被逮捕了，而且同一时期都关在 Travis County 的监狱里。
Joe RoganWoah.哇。
Elon MuskYeah. I don’t know if they talked or whatever, but they’ve both been released, by the way.对。我不知道他们有没有互相交流，但顺便说一句，这两个人都已经被释放了。
Joe RoganJesus Christ. On bail?我的天。保释出来的？
Elon MuskYeah. But they got ankle monitors and stuff, but still…对，他们戴着脚踝监控器之类的东西，但话说回来……
Joe RoganThey can cut those off?那玩意儿能剪断的吧？
Elon MuskYeah. I don’t know. Exactly. So that’s crazy.是啊，谁知道呢。确实如此。所以这很荒唐。
Elon MuskThe Dangers of Media Manipulation媒体操控的危险
Joe RoganYeah. The second guy had “chief serial killer” in his bio on his X profile. It wasn’t subtle is what I’m saying.对。第二个人他的 X 主页简介里写着"首席连环杀手"。我的意思是，这一点都不含糊。
Elon MuskYeah. And at this point, I think I’m at the top of the list for a lot of homicidal maniacs. And the more the mainstream media talks about you in this way and says you’re a Nazi… they’re doing the same thing to me that they did to Trump.是的。而现在，我觉得我已经排在很多偏执狂的目标清单第一位了。主流媒体越是这样描述你、说你是纳粹……他们对我做的，跟他们当年对 Trump 做的是一样的事。
Joe RoganWhich is they’re making it sound like if you kill you, you’re a hero.也就是说，他们让人觉得，你要是把你干掉了，你就是英雄。
Elon MuskThat’s what they’re doing. It’s evil. They’re also completely distorting who you are and people are going along with it. And just like we’re talking about Trump derangement syndrome, people have Elon derangement syndrome.他们就是这么干的。这是邪恶的行为。他们同时也在完全扭曲你这个人，而且大家都跟着走。就像我们说的 Trump 错乱综合症，人们对我也有 Elon 错乱综合症。
Joe RoganI see it.我能看出来。
Elon MuskI see where people can’t see the forest for the trees. It’s like I’m the same person that I was a year ago. Nothing’s changed, really. I didn’t suddenly become a completely different human. But if you read the legacy mainstream media, their propaganda stream is that I am a completely different human. But I didn’t get a brain transplant in a year.我能看出来，有些人只见树木不见森林。我跟一年前还是同一个人啊，根本没什么变化。我又没有突然变成一个完全不同的人。但如果你去读那些主流遗产媒体，他们的宣传口径就是我变成了另一个人。但我又没在一年内换过脑子。
Elon MuskLet’s say two years ago, I was a hero of the left. So how can I go from hero to villain at age 53 suddenly?就说两年前吧，我还是左派眼中的英雄。那我怎么可能在53岁突然从英雄变成恶棍？
Joe RoganMSNBC, CNN?MSNBC、CNN？
Elon MuskIt’s like that’s what it is. They use the Associated propaganda.就是那个东西。他们用的是那套联合宣传机器。
Joe RoganI mean, they’ve tried to demonize you too. They even tried to demonize, at least partially successfully, Tim Pool, who is a super rational, reasonable, great human. And then his Wikipedia changed to “far right.”我是说，他们也想把你妖魔化。他们甚至试图——至少部分成功地——妖魔化了 Tim Pool，一个超级理性、通情达理、很棒的人。然后他的 Wikipedia 词条就被改成了"极右"。
Elon MuskYeah, and he’s like, “far right?” What are you talking about? A few years ago, he was a liberal. So how do you go from a liberal to instantly far right?对，他就说了："极右？你在说什么？"几年前他还是个自由派。那你怎么可能从自由派一夜之间变成极右？
Elon MuskThere’s no left and right. There’s only left and far right. This is my left leg, and this is my far right leg. Even far left is sort of dismissed as being not important to talk about, like Antifa and radical leftists. That’s not, you know, like, we’re burning down courthouses.现在根本就没有左和右，只有左和"极右"。这是我的左腿，这是我的"极右"腿。甚至连极左都被视为不值一提，比如 Antifa 和激进左派——烧法院那些——好像根本不需要谈。
Joe RoganReasonable people.都是理性人士嘛。
Elon MuskTotally crazy.完全疯了。
Elon MuskThe Current State of Society当下的社会状态
Joe RoganIt’s a crazy time, and it’s not a time that I ever anticipated I was going to witness. This is far beyond anything I ever thought I was going to experience. And the clarity of it all where it’s so obvious.这是个疯狂的时代，而且完全超出了我的预期——我从没想到我会亲眼见到这一切。这已经远远超过我以为自己会经历的任何事。而且一切都清晰得令人发指，显而易见。
Elon MuskAnd the gaslighting and the propaganda is so obvious. And I saw this shrieking when RFK Jr. stopped this new test for new COVID vaccines on children. Ten thousand people with this COVID vaccine.那些煤气灯手法和宣传操控已经昭然若揭了。我看到 RFK Jr. 叫停了一项针对儿童的新冠疫苗新试验时，有人尖声嚎叫——一万个孩子打这种 COVID 疫苗的试验。
Joe RoganLike, who thinks that’s a good thing at this point? Not me. What person?这时候还有谁会觉得这是好事？反正我不觉得。到底是什么人？
Elon MuskYou are fully unconscious. There’s no way you know the effect of COVID today, no one’s dying of it. This is not a pandemic anymore. The idea that you’re going to run a huge test with ten thousand kids and a new vaccine. Like, what are you even doing?你完全没有意识。你根本不可能知道今天的 COVID 有什么危害——没有人因它而死了。这已经不是疫情了。你还要拿一万个孩子去做新疫苗的大规模试验，你到底在干什么？
Joe RoganTotally unnecessary.完全没有必要。
Elon MuskAnd shrieking when RFK Jr. steps in to stop it. That’s totally crazy.RFK Jr. 出手叫停，还有人在那嚎叫。真是太离谱了。
Elon MuskI’m overall pro-vaccine, meaning I think we should have some reasonable number of vaccines against major ailments. But I don’t think we should be jamming some little kid with a giant vial that’s Hepatitis B and twenty different things at a time. It seems like there’s a risk of overloading your immune system. How many vaccines can you take at a time? It seems like there’s some risk of system overload here.我总体上是支持疫苗的，也就是说，我认为我们应该有一些合理数量的疫苗来对抗主要疾病。但我不觉得应该给一个小孩子一次性打一大管，里面含有乙肝加二十种其他东西。这感觉有过度刺激免疫系统的风险。你一次能承受多少种疫苗？感觉这里面存在系统过载的风险。
Elon MuskPharmaceutical Influence on Media制药业对媒体的影响
Joe RoganThere’s two hopes. Hope number one is they can somehow or another stop this ability that they have to advertise on television. If that happens, that’s big. That’s huge. Because that doesn’t just stop their ability to show you all these different medications that you should be on. What it also does is it stops their financial influence on the news. That’s really the biggest thing.有两个希望。第一个希望是他们能以某种方式叫停在电视上打广告的能力。如果这事成了，那意义重大，非常重大。因为那不只是阻止他们向你展示各种你该吃的药。更重要的是，这切断了他们对新闻业的财务影响力，这才是最关键的。
Elon MuskThe news is not going to attack one of their biggest advertisers.新闻媒体不会去攻击自己最大的广告主之一的。
Joe RoganAnd they never do.他们从来不会。
Elon MuskAt best, they’re going to do something, but they’re going to pull their punches. Like fake fighting.最多也就是做做样子，但会留有余地——就像假装打架一样。
Joe RoganAt best. Movie fighting. Like, they’re not actually landing haymakers. It just looks like it.顶多如此，就像拍电影里的打架。他们根本没有真正出重拳，只是看起来像那么回事。
Joe RoganThe next step then is to remove this immunity that these vaccine manufacturers have. And if they are liable for side effects and they are liable for the lies that they tell when they do these studies and they hide negative data, that’ll change a lot.下一步是撤销这些疫苗制造商现有的免责保护。如果他们要为副作用负责，为他们在研究中撒谎、隐瞒负面数据负责，那很多事情都会改变。
Joe RoganAI in HealthcareAI 在医疗领域的应用
Elon MuskI think AI actually could be very helpful with medical stuff. Because AI can look at all the studies and look at all the data, cross check everything, and give you good recommendations.我觉得 AI 实际上在医疗方面大有可为。因为 AI 可以查阅所有研究成果、分析所有数据、交叉验证一切，然后给你有价值的建议。
Elon MuskEven as it is now, you can upload your X-rays and your MRI images to Grok, and it’ll give you a medical diagnosis. And that diagnosis, from what I’ve seen, is at least as good as what doctors tell you.就算是现在，你也可以把你的 X 光片和 MRI 图像上传到 Grok，它会给你一个医学诊断。从我见过的情况来看，那个诊断至少和医生告诉你的一样准确。
Joe RoganPhenomenal for blood work.用来看血检报告简直太棒了。
Elon MuskYeah. You can literally take a photograph of your blood work, upload that to Grok, and it will tell you if there’s something wrong. It’s pretty amazing. And I haven’t seen it be wrong yet.对。你真的可以直接拍一张血检报告的照片上传到 Grok，它会告诉你有没有问题。相当神奇。而且我还没见它出过错。
Joe RoganSupposedly more accurate than most physicians.据说比大多数医生还要准确。
Elon MuskBecause physicians are human beings, and maybe they don’t have a deep understanding of the connection between, oh, you have this deficiency, and this is high, and your cortisol’s here.因为医生是人，他们可能并不深入理解各项指标之间的关联——比如，你有这项缺乏，而这项偏高，还有你的皮质醇是这个水平。
Elon MuskSometimes doctors, especially in higher-end offices, will sell you stuff you don’t need. So I always be a little suspicious of a doctor who’s got an office in Beverly Hills. It’s a high rent situation. I’m not saying there aren’t some very good doctors in Beverly Hills, but it’s a high rent situation.有时候医生，尤其是在高档诊所的，会向你推销你根本不需要的东西。所以我对在 Beverly Hills 开诊所的医生总保持一点警惕。租金贵嘛。我不是说 Beverly Hills 里没有好医生，但那是高租金的地方。
Joe RoganYou’re at least tempted by the dark side.你至少也会被黑暗面诱惑。
Elon MuskI mean, in one case, I went to this doctor who was highly recommended, “doctor to the stars,” which is maybe not a good sign. I got blood work done, just sent blood and sent it to a lab. And I’m sitting in his office, and he tells me that I’m B12 deficient.我是说，有一次，我去看了一个被大力推荐的医生，"明星医生"，这本身可能就不是个好兆头。我做了血检，把血样寄到化验室。我坐在他的诊室里，他告诉我我 B12 缺乏。
Elon MuskIt’s certainly possible that I’m B12 deficient. And I was like, okay. And then he gives me these B12 supplements and says I have to take these, and he’s going to give me a starter pack. And then it’s going to be like a thousand dollars a month for these special B12.我 B12 缺乏当然是有可能的。我当时就说，好吧。然后他给了我这些 B12 补剂，说我必须吃，还要给我一个入门套装。然后每个月要花一千美元买这种特殊的 B12。
Joe RoganA thousand dollars a month for B12? Ridiculous amount of money.B12 一个月一千美元？这钱也太多了吧。
Elon MuskYou get it on Amazon.Amazon 上就能买到。
Joe RoganBut his one is special.但他那个是特别的。
Elon MuskYeah. It was like a whole bunch of B12 and a bunch of other vitamins.对，就是一大堆 B12 加上一堆其他维生素。
Elon MuskSo then I get home. I’m paging through my blood work, and it says, according to the blood results, I have excess B12. So I’m like, wait a second. And he’s given me a box of pills that have like twenty thousand percent of recommended daily dose. Twenty thousand percent is a big number.然后我回到家，翻看我的血检报告，上面写着——根据血液检测结果，我的 B12 是超标的。我就说，等等。他还给了我一盒药片，含有推荐日摄入量的两万倍。两万倍，这可是个大数字。
Elon MuskI took a photograph of the blood work that says I have excess B12—I’m above the recommended range of B12. And then I took a picture of the pills that say twenty thousand percent. I’m like, “Can you help me reconcile these two things? Because it says I’ve got too much B12, and you just gave me two pills that have twenty thousand percent more.” I’m like, this is crazy.我拍了那份显示我 B12 超标的血检报告——我的 B12 高于推荐范围——然后又拍了那盒写着两万倍的药片。我说："你能帮我解释一下这两件事之间的矛盾吗？因为上面说我的 B12 太多了，而你刚给了我两粒含有两万倍用量的药。"这也太疯了。
Joe RoganWhat did the doctor say?医生怎么说？
Elon MuskOh, he said you can never have too much B12.哦，他说 B12 再多也不嫌多。
Joe RoganOh, he’s a B12 junkie. He’s a psychopath.哦，他是个 B12 狂魔，这人有问题。
Elon MuskTotally insane. This was a while ago, right? So this is pre-Grok. Like five years ago.完全疯了。这是很久以前的事了。是 Grok 出现之前——大概五年前。
Joe RoganNow you could just enter in all that data into Grok.现在你直接把那些数据输进 Grok 就行了。
Elon MuskI could photograph it with your phone and upload it to Grok, and then Grok will tell you what’s right. Just don’t have it in sexy mode.我可以用手机拍下来上传到 Grok，然后 Grok 会告诉你什么是对的。只是别把它调到骚气模式。
Joe RoganYeah, it’ll keep trying to seduce you.对，要不然它会一直撩你。
Elon MuskI mean, you’re asking for it in sexy mode. Literally. Tapped on sexy mode.我是说，你自己开启了骚气模式嘛。真的是手动点开骚气模式的。
Elon MuskI think we probably should maybe allow it to get out of character a little bit.我觉得我们或许应该允许它稍微跳出一下设定角色。
Joe RoganSure. Like an unhinged mode?当然。比如说来个失控模式？
Elon MuskI try to get it back to being hinged, but it would be like “no way.” It’s like, “I’m going to stay unhinged.”我试着让它恢复正常，但它就是不肯，说"没门儿"，说"我就要保持失控。"
Joe RoganHow many modes do you have?你有几个模式？
Elon MuskI don’t know, like eight or something. And then there’s an ability to have a custom mode, so then you can have unhinged sexy.我不知道，大概八个左右吧。还可以自定义模式，所以你可以来个失控骚气组合。
Joe RoganThat’s my favorite kind.那是我最爱的类型。
Elon MuskYou may think so. Be careful what you wish for.你现在这么觉得，小心愿望成真。
Joe RoganEspecially if it’s a robot and she can kill you.尤其是如果对方是个机器人，还能弄死你的话。
Elon MuskUnhinged sexy robot is dangerous. Remember the Pink Panther? Remember Pink Panther had Kato try to jump him? They were trying to attack him to keep him sharp.失控骚气机器人是很危险的。还记得 Pink Panther 吗？Pink Panther 让 Kato 扑他，就是为了让他保持警觉，随时能反应。
Elon MuskClosing Thoughts结语
Joe RoganListen, man. Thank you for being here. I always appreciate talking to you. I know you’re busy as hell, so it means a lot to me that you have the time to do this. And I think what you’re doing is one of the most important things that has ever happened in this country. I really do. Particularly with ownership of X, but also with what’s happening with Grok and just enlightening all these people and shining light on all the vampires.听着，兄弟，谢谢你来这里。我一直很珍视跟你的对话。我知道你忙得要死，所以你能抽出时间来做这个，对我意义重大。而且我觉得你正在做的事，是这个国家有史以来发生过的最重要的事之一。我是真心这么认为的。尤其是拥有 X 这件事，还有 Grok 正在发生的一切，以及让这么多人开窍、把所有吸血鬼都暴露在阳光下。
Elon MuskWell, hopefully, people realize I’m not a Nazi. I just want to be clear. I am not a Nazi.好吧，希望人们能明白我不是纳粹。我想说清楚，我不是纳粹。
Joe RoganI think we covered it.我觉得我们已经把这个说透了。
Elon MuskBut that’s exactly what a Nazi would say. Damn it.但这恰恰是纳粹会说的话。该死。
Joe RoganThat’s what an alien would say. You can’t escape this nonsense.外星人也会这么说。你永远逃不掉这种胡说八道。
Elon MuskYou can’t escape it. I don’t think any reasonable person believes it. If they believe it, it’s because they want to believe it.逃不掉。我不觉得任何理性的人会相信这个。如果他们相信，那是因为他们想相信。
Joe RoganIt’s not because it’s logical.这跟逻辑没关系。
Elon MuskI mean, what’s relevant about Nazis is, are you invading Poland? And if you’re not, maybe you’re not. You have to be committing genocide and starting wars. What is actually bad about Nazis? It wasn’t their fashion sense or their mannerisms. It was the war and genocide—that’s the bad part. Not their mannerisms and their dress code.我的意思是，判断一个纳粹最关键的问题是：你在入侵波兰吗？如果没有，那你可能不是。你得有种族灭绝和发动战争的行为。纳粹真正邪恶的地方是什么？不是他们的着装品味或行事风格，是战争和种族灭绝——那才是坏的部分。不是他们的举止和着装规范。
Joe RoganWell, that was the problem with all that “punch a Nazi” stuff. Remember that? People kept saying, “punch a Nazi.” But where are you meeting Nazis? I’ve never met a Nazi. I’ve never run into a bunch of Nazis where I had to punch them.那个"揍纳粹"的口号就有这个问题。还记得吗？大家一直说"揍纳粹"。但你在哪儿遇到纳粹啊？我从来没遇到过纳粹。我从没碰上过一群非得揍他们的纳粹。
Elon MuskAnd what about all these so-called Proud Boy rallies or whatever? They always got the masks, they always got the same uniforms. And for some reason, they never get doxxed.还有那些所谓的 Proud Boys 集会之类的——他们总是戴着面具，总是穿着一模一样的制服。而且出于某种原因，没有人把他们人肉搜索出来。
Joe RoganRight. We’re always going to dox them except these guys.对，我们总是会把人肉了，就是不搞这帮人。
Elon MuskGreat video of me and Matt Taibbi breaking down the Patriot Front.我和 Matt Taibbi 解析 Patriot Front 的那段视频很精彩。
Joe RoganDidn’t the Patriot Front just disband? Google that real quick. We’ll end it with this. Because I think they just disbanded, and these were the most obvious feds of all time.Patriot Front 不是刚刚解散了吗？快搜一下。我们就以这个收尾。因为我觉得他们刚解散，而且这些人是有史以来最明显的联邦卧底。
Elon MuskThat’s what I’m saying. They had a drum. Come on. They had masks on. They all had uniforms. It was so stupid.这就是我说的。他们还带了个鼓。拜托了。他们戴着面具，穿着制服，蠢透了。
Joe RoganSo it’s “Patriot Front disbands one day after FBI director Chris Wray’s testimony.” Seem like an odd coincidence.所以，"Patriot Front 在 FBI 局长 Chris Wray 作证后的次日宣布解散。"看起来还真是巧合。
Elon MuskCrazy. The people that we were yelling at saying that they’re feds.太疯了。那帮我们一直喊着说他们是联邦的人。
Joe RoganThere’s a great video of me and Matt Taibbi. Nobody ever followed them and doxxed them.有一段我和 Matt Taibbi 的精彩视频。从来没有人跟踪并人肉过他们。
Elon MuskWhat are the odds? Agent provocateurs. It’s a thing.这概率……卧底特工。这种事一直有的。
Joe RoganAlex Jones taught me about them. Listen, man. Thank you very much. Thank you for everything. Appreciate you. Stay alive.Alex Jones 当年教了我这些。听着，兄弟，非常感谢。感谢你做的一切，感谢你。保重，好好活着。
Elon MuskStaying alive. I mean, I do think one argument for me staying alive is that it’s more entertaining if I’m alive than if I’m dead.好好活着。我的意思是，支撑我活下去的一个理由是——我活着比死了更有娱乐价值。
Joe RoganOh, definitely.那当然。
Elon MuskI could be alive and injured, which would suck. Like, they just shoot my arm off or something.我也可能活着但受了伤，那就惨了。比如他们把我的胳膊打断或者什么。
Joe RoganNo. No. We don’t want that.不不不，我们不希望这样。
Elon MuskCoding with one hand.单手写代码。
Joe RoganKeep the security strong.安保要搞好。
Elon MuskAlright. Thank you.好的，谢谢。
Joe RoganBye, everybody.大家再见。
Elon MuskBye.再见。
