Here are Elon Musk's full remarks at the Presidential Parade.

“This is what victory feels like!

And this was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilization.

You know, there are elections that come and go. Some elections are important, some are not. But this one really mattered.

And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.

Thanks to you, we're going to have safe cities, finally, secure borders, sensible spending. Basic stuff.

And we're going to take Doge to Mars! I mean, can you imagine how awesome it will be to have American astronauts plant the flag on another planet for the first time? How inspiring would that be?

You know, there's always problems in life. Solve that problem, solve that problem. But, you know, there need to be things that inspire you. There needs to be things that make you glad to wake up in the morning and say, I'm looking forward to the future.

I love you guys. And let me tell you, I'm gonna work my ass off. I really will. I really will. I'm super fired up for the future. It's going to be very exciting.

As the president said, we're going to have a Golden Age. It's going to be fantastic.

One of the fundamental things, one of the most American values that I love is optimism. This feeling like we're going to, make the future good. We're going to make it.

So, man, I can't wait. This is going to be fantastic. Thank you again. I'm just so excited about the future. Thank you, guys. Thank you!”
