2017年伊隆马斯克圣诞卡内容曝光

    一位匿名的知情者最新公布了2017年伊隆马斯克的圣诞卡内容，让我们有幸一睹为快。马斯克在贺卡中这样写道：

    “地球众生都是以地球围绕太阳的公转周期作为一年的计量，但是我总是与时间有着不同的关系，而且并不仅仅因为我是火星人。（这只是开玩笑，你不必当真。）但即使是我也无法否认时间正向前发展。我的人生中发生了如此多的事情，而且现在似乎是分享我的‘家庭成员’最新成绩的良好时机。

    SpaceX（15岁）生长的非常迅速。SpaceX不仅成功在今年夏天完成了国际空间站的第12次再补给任务，而且一份相当详细的殖民火星计划彰显着它的不断提升的野心。这项计划中包含了一个被公司称为BFR火箭的行星间运输系统，而且将在5年内建造完成。

    特斯拉（14岁）在今年夏天承诺开始交付Model 3汽车之后，我的这个小汽车制造商为了达成目标一路狂奔。Model 3可以说是一项奇迹，拥有巨大的玻璃车顶、革命性的触屏界面以及你所期待的特斯拉加速能力。我可以肯定已经预定Model 3的40万消费者在得到他们的汽车之后会认同我的观点。早熟的特斯拉好像还不满足于此，今年还展示了一款电动卡车，而且有许多公司已经下了订单，此外还有一款能够给汽油车带来冲击的全新跑车。

    OpenAI（2岁）和Neuralink（1岁）。我一直认为我们应当将我们的大脑与计算机融合到一起，而且我很高兴这两个年轻的家庭成员致力于实现我的这一梦想。OpenAI甚至还在借助异常苗条的相扑选手让人工智能更加聪明和敏捷。或许未来它能够使用为自动驾驶系统设计的AI芯片帮助它的哥哥特斯拉。

    Boring公司（1岁）这个月度过的自己的第一个生日。根据它在SpaceX的洛杉矶总部下面和巴尔的摩下面挖掘的隧道，我不得不猜测是否有人会借助鼹鼠人欺骗我。Boring了解我对于公共交通系统的想法，而且让我放心的是这些隧道是为充满想象力的超回路列车和搭乘电动滑板行动的私家车准备的。如果有一天老年人能够乘坐地下运输系统去看望自己的孩子的话，我会感到很欣慰，我不必担心连环杀人恶魔或者是其他危险人物出现。

    那么长话短说，给我的朋友们、粉丝们、伙伴们、竞争对手们还有投资者们送上我最真挚的祝福。愿你们的生活和我们的一样富有、令人振奋而且充满野心！”（过客）

    以下为贺卡英文原文：

    Earthlings measure years by how long it takes this planet to revolve around its sun, but I’ve always had a different relationship with time, and not just because I’m a Martian. (Kidding. Maybe. You know, don’t worry about it.) But even I can’t deny things are moving forward. And with so much going on in my life, this seems as good a time as any to share my family’s latest accomplishments.

    (NB: For ease of use, I’ll be using Earth years.)

    SpaceX (age 15)Man these companies grow up fast. SpaceX didn’t just successfully launch its 12th resupply missionto the International Space Station this summer, it upped its ambitions with a pretty detailed plan for colonizing Mars. (OK, as long as it comes home for Thanksgiving and Christmas!) The scheme involves an Interplanetary Transport System the company calls the BFR, or Big Fucking Rocket (you wonder where they get their sense of humor!), which it will definitely have built in just five years.

    Tesla (age 14)After promising to start deliveries of its affordable Model 3 sedan this summer, my little automaker went all the way to production hell to make it happen. And boy is the car a wonder, with its huge glass roof, innovative touchscreen interface (so long, dashboard), and all the acceleration you know to expect from Tesla. I’m sure the 400,000 people who have pre-ordered one will agree whenever they get theirs! As if that wasn’t enough, my precocious teen showed off an electric semitruck—a bunch of companies have already put their orders in—and a new version of the Roadster, just to give a hardcore smackdown to gasoline cars. And it did it all even with the SEC poking aroundand handling a class action lawsuit accusing it of racist practices! This is the kid who does all the extracurriculars.

    OpenAI and Neuralink (ages 2, 1)I’ve always thought we should merge our brains with computers, and I’m so glad two of my youngest are dedicated to making it happen. As if that weren’t enough, OpenAI is using surprisingly svelte sumo wrestlersto make artificial intelligence smarter and nimbler. Maybe it’ll even find the time to help big brother Tesla with that AI chip it’s making for Autopilot.

    The Boring Company (age 1)Celebrated its first birthday this month! And based on the tunnels it has been digging under SpaceX’s headquarters in Los Angeles and under Baltimore, I have to wonder if someone cheated on me with the moleman! Now, Boring knows my views on public transit, and has reassured me these tunnels will be for fancy hyperloops and private cars on electric sleds, only. I’m glad to know that when it’s time for the old man to visit his kid underground, I won’t have to worry about serial killers or even other people.

    So, my friends and fans, comrades and competitors, investors short and long, my best tidings. May your lives be as rich, electrifying, and ambitious as ours.

    — Elon
