Part 8/15:
The Importance of Core American Values
Musk emphasizes the significance of preserving what has made America great—namely, personal freedoms enshrined in the Constitution, such as free speech and the right to bear arms. He criticizes overreach that threatens these rights and advocates for keeping government interference minimal. For Musk, “maximum power to the individual” is essential for a thriving democracy.
He underscores the value of hard work and talent as the primary measures of success—believing that America should be the land where individual effort and innovation lead to opportunity, not government or inherited privilege.
