We need to retrofit legacy defense systems with modern software to enhance their capabilities, as many of these vehicles will remain in service for decades.

In the early days, we invested heavily in sales and marketing, but now we increase our R&D spending by 50% a year to improve our product.

About 80% of my time at SpaceX and Tesla is dedicated to engineering and design, focusing on developing the next generation of products.

Over the next five years, our focus will be on delivering systems at scale, including low-cost cruise missiles and autonomous vehicles, while proving we can meet government demands for quantity and timeliness.

I spend about 80% of my time on engineering and design, focusing on developing the next generation of products at SpaceX and Tesla.

The final 20% of a project often takes 80% of the time, and we were committed to overcoming that challenge with Waymo, despite the technology gap compared to other self-driving companies.

On the product side, we focus on building a streamlined process for AI that resembles a Ford factory line, which enhances efficiency.

In the defense sector, we work across various verticals, using the same products for both defense and commercial applications, which helps subsidize expensive technologies.

Moving forward, our products will perform more advanced tasks autonomously, benefiting users beyond just mechanical solutions.
