Elon Musk: I Took Over Twitter to Help Keep Civilization Alive

Elon Musk: I'm just trying to keep civilization going.

Joe Rogan: “What kind of responsibility do you feel, knowing that if you didn't take over Twitter and turn it into 𝕏, the world would [probably] be a very different place right now? Trump would have never come back. Alex Jones definitely would have never been back. Does that weigh on you?”

Elon: “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 multiplanet civilization, which I think would be incredibly important in ensuring the long-term survival of civilization.”
