– I love Norway – E24

When he got out of the car, one of the first things he said was that he loved Norway.

– I came here out of gratitude for the Norwegian people’s support for electric vehicles. So I want to say thank you for the Norwegians’ support for sustainable transport for many years, he said, among other things, at the press conference outside Clarion Hotel Energy.

– But perhaps less obvious is today’s birth rate. It’s important that people have enough children to support the survival of civilization, Tesla’s founder said.

– Have more children then?

– Yes, have more children. At least enough children to ensure that the population survives. We can’t allow civilization to get so low as to die, Musk – who himself is a father of nine – told the NRK reporter.

Musk spent a lot of time in the media after arriving at the ONS and didn’t seem too impressed with leaving Los Angeles at midnight.

The meeting with the press, somewhat improvised, took place right behind a trolley that sold coffee. The crowd became so large that the coffee salesman had to ask for a handshake in order to work.

Thanks to American Jack Sweeney, known for creating Twitter bots to track the private jets of important people, including Elon Musk and Russian oligarchs, Musk’s hardcore fans were able to follow his short ten-hour flight from Los Angeles to Sola on Flightradar24.

Opens Mon at 11am

Musk’s private jet is a Gulfstream G650, a business jet manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The plane can carry 11 to 18 passengers, depending on how it is designed and built inside. The plane has a maximum speed of 982 kilometers per hour with a cruising speed of 956 kilometers per hour.

Shortly after landing at Stavanger Airport, Sola, Musk and his team got into a few waiting cars that transported them directly to the ONS fair in Tjensvoll, where Musk will attend the opening conference at 11:00 together, between the others, Equinor CEO Anders Opedal, IEA director Fatih Birol, Shell CEO Ben van Beurden and Crown Prince Haakon. The session is tight – and there are also a limited number of members of the press who have access. The ticket for the opening conference costs NOK 16,000.

Musk, head of Tesla and Spacex, is well on his way to becoming the richest man in the world with a fortune of over $ 200 billion. The 51-year-old is originally from South Africa but also has US and Canadian citizenship.

Tweeted about fasting

Musk is known to be very active on Twitter and his messages can quickly influence the stock price of the companies he mentions, which demonstrates his enormous power. Musk now has over 103 million Twitter followers. Shortly before leaving for Stavanger and ONS, Musk posted four messages on his Twitter account in which he writes that he fasts for periods and feels healthier and better after starting to fast.

“From time to time I want to share things for this reason that seem to be good for me and my life – and therefore can benefit others as well. You are also welcome to share your experiences and can therefore be of help to others. “writes Musk, who also reveals that it was a good friend of his who suggested that he fast for periods.

How long will she stay in the city?

It is highly uncertain how long Musk will remain in Stavanger. Some rumors say he will fly already this afternoon / evening, while others believe he will first experience some of what the region has to offer before flying tomorrow. Not even the ONS organizer is informed of all the details relating to Musk’s visit.

– Musk has a separate team with him that handles this, says ONS communications director Inger Johanne Stenberg in Aftenbladet.
