Beijing, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) Tesla has had a tough week, its third-quarter car delivery fell short of expectations, and its CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) is still "causing trouble", not only in a lawsuit with Twitter but also in controversial comments, dragging Tesla's share price to its worst performance in more than two years.

Just last Friday (September 30), Tesla's share price closed at $265.25. But a week later, Tesla's share price had fallen nearly 16 per cent to $223.07. It was the worst week for the stock since March 2020.

Even Musk admitted that "this is indeed a very tense seven days." As the richest man in the world, why did Musk make himself so tired? He recently accepted an exclusive interview with foreign media and talked about many topics.

I am a masochist and Musk is committed to promoting the transformation of human beings to renewable energy and emigrating to Mars, but such a serious person is addicted to the Twitter game.

"aren't you happy?" Musk laughed when he heard the question. "I did some stupid things on Twitter and often shot myself in the foot, causing myself all kinds of trouble."... I don't know. I think expressing myself on Twitter is a bit therapeutic. It's a way to send a message to the public. " That's what he said.

Musk was so obsessed with Twitter that he was involved in a long and on-off acquisition. The acquisition has been watched by Wall Street and the technology industry for months. Musk reached a $44 billion deal with Twitter in April, but then decided to pull out of the deal, accusing Twitter of understating the number of robots on the platform. Later, Twitter sued Musk, and Musk countersued. This week, just before he testified in court, he changed his mind. Musk now says he is willing to buy Twitter at the original price.

Musk was interviewed, so was Musk's original proposal to buy Twitter just a "bad joke"? "Twitter will undoubtedly increase your pain," Musk said. "I think I must be a masochist."

But he also made it clear that his interest in Twitter was never primarily economic. "I don't do Twitter for money. I don't want to buy a yacht but I can't afford it. I don't have a yacht. But I think it's important that people exchange ideas in a way that is as trusting and inclusive as possible, and it should be as trusting and transparent as possible." He said.

Musk's skipping lunch may have something to do with the semi-naked photo taken of him while on vacation on Mykonos Island this summer. At that time, Musk showed a lot of fat, and this picture went viral on the Internet. He has been on a diet ever since.

To have 500 children? Musk is fickle, but he sees himself as a problem solver, including everything from the potential end of life on Earth to climate change and even traffic jams (his Boring company is building underground tunnels).

But aging may be the only human threat he's not trying to address, although another company he founded, Neuralink, is designing chips implanted into the brain to restore sensory and motor function. Musk was so worried about population decline that he claimed to do his part to increase the earth's population, so he gave birth to 10 children (from different partners, one of whom died). The youngest two children are twins born to him and a female executive at Neuralink.

Musk and his son X. when asked if there were any other illegitimate children, he mocked: "I'm pretty sure there are no other children coming." He also refuted absurd rumors that he had bought a fertility clinic and supported him to have children.

He said some friends did suggest that he should have 500 children, but that might be "a little strange". Musk, 51 this year, said he had entered his "twilight years". He said he might have a few more children, but only if he could be a good father to them.

"for most countries, the current trend is that civilization will not die in a loud bang, but in a whimper wrapped in adult diapers," he predicted. But he also said that the problem of aging should not be solved, "human death is very important."

Personally colonizing Mars Musk is more worried about maintaining life beyond Earth, and his solution is to colonize Mars.

"it's only a matter of time before something happens to the earth eventually. Eventually, the sun will expand and destroy all life on Earth, so we really need to move at some point, or at least become a multi-planetary species, "he said." you have to ask the question: do we want to be a civilization flying in space, a multi-planetary species? The question is, what percentage of resources should we devote to this effort? I think if you say 1%, this may be a reasonable number. "

So will Musk himself take the lead in colonizing Mars? "especially if I get old, I will. Why not?" He said.

But what's the use for Mars if he's too old? "I think there's a good chance of death, so I'd rather take the risk when I'm older and watch my children grow up. Instead of now, little X (son) is only two and a half years old. I think he'll miss me."
