Zelensky at Davos:

You need Ukraine's independence because tomorrow you may have to defend your way of life.

Zelensky received a standing ovation at Davos.

Zelensky on peace negotiations:

I think this is like the last mile, which is very difficult.

Zelensky:

We will have a trilateral meeting in the UAE tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Zelensky:

Russia is attacking our energy infrastructure — this is not a secret, and it is not a mistake. It is their goal to leave Ukraine in darkness.

They mostly attack civilians. They use many missiles — expensive missiles — not on the front lines, but against civilian targets. Critical infrastructure, hospitals, kindergartens — everything.

This is the face of Russia. And this is the face of this war. We have developed air defense systems. We have created strong ideas with interceptors. We are producing them — about a thousand per day — but it is still not enough.

Zelensky to Hungary's Orban and other pro-Russia European politicians:

We also see that the forces trying to destroy Europe do not waste a single day.

They operate freely, even, even operate inside Europe.

Every "Viktor" who lives off European money while trying to sell out European interests deserves a smack upside the head.

Zelensky on Russian casualties:

I’m sharing real figures with you. The real statistic is 35,000 killed per month. 35,000 soldiers.

Last year this month, it was about 14,000. Russia is not thinking about it, but we do.

We know that they mobilize 43,000 per month, and they begin to lose 35,000, from this 43 you have to know that about 10-15% run away and there are some wounded.

Their army has stopped increasing, this is our important, because of our drone operators and drone technology.

Elon Musk:

I heard about the peace summit. I was like, is that “P-I-E-C-E?”

You know, a little piece of Greenland, a little piece of Venezuela.

Elon Musk:

By the end of next year, I think we will be selling humanoid robots to the public.

Elon Musk on solar power:

You can take largely unpopulated areas of, say, Spain and Sicily, and generate all of the electricity power Europe needs.

Elon Musk on AI:

At the rate at which AI is progressing, I think we might have AI that is smarter than any human by the end of this year.

And I say no later than next year.

Elon Musk on AI:

By 2030 or 2031, AI will be smarter than all of humanity collectively.

Elon Musk:

I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare, and it might only be us.

If that is the case, then we need to do everything possible to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished.

We are like a tiny candle of consciousness in a vast darkness; the candle can easily go out.

That is why it’s important to make life multiplanetary, so that if there is a disaster on Earth, that consciousness continues.

That is the purpose of SpaceX.

Elon Musk:

We need to be very careful with AI and robotics; we don’t wanna find ourselves in a James Cameron movie—you know, Terminator.

Elon Musk:

I think aging is a very solvable problem.

When we figure out what causes aging, I think we will find it is incredibly obvious; it is not a subtle thing.

All the cells in your body pretty much age at the same rate. I have never seen someone with an old left arm and a young right arm.

There must be a synchronizing clock...

Elon Musk:

I want to die on Mars, but just not on impact.

Zelensky:

Russia’s economy is really tired, and their army is very tired.

Also, our army is also tired, but we are honest and we speak about it.

Hungary's Orban to Zelensky:

It seems we will not be able to reach an understanding. I am a free man serving the Hungarian people.

You are in a desperate position, having failed—by inability or unwillingness—to end the war for four years, despite extensive support from the U.S. President.

Therefore, regardless of your flattery, we cannot support your war efforts.

The Ukrainian people, despite your insults, can still count on us to supply electricity and fuel and to support refugees from Ukraine.

Life itself will settle the rest, and everyone will get what they deserve.
