Chris: Elon. Hey, welcome back to TED. It’s great to have you here.
Elon: Thanks for having me.
Chris: So, in the next half hour or so we’re going to spend some time exploring your vision for what an exciting future might look like, which I guess makes my first question a little ironic. Why are you boring?
