圣诞快乐！Elon Musk 2017年的圣诞家书来了

圣诞快乐！就在今天，Wired 连线杂志很荣幸地拿到了 Elon Musk 2017年的圣诞家书 － 写给圣诞老人的成绩单，也是写给他的朋友们，粉丝们，同事们，以及竞争对手和投资人们的圣诞问候。 

我们一起来看看这封很欢乐的圣诞家书。

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.

地球人衡量时间是按这个星球围绕太阳运行的时间来算的，但是我总是和时间有着不同的关系，这不仅仅因为我是一个火星人。 (开玩笑，也许是，你懂的，不要担心。)  但即使是我，也不能否认世界正在向前推进。实际上，我的生活如此繁忙，这似乎是我分享我们家族最新成就的好时机。

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.

我的这些公司正在快速成长。 SpaceX不仅在今年夏天成功地向国际空间站发射了第12次补给任务，而且还雄心勃勃地发布了一个相当详细的火星殖民计划。（好吧，只要感恩节和圣诞节能回家就行了）。这个计划涉及到一个星际运输系统公司，我们称之为BFR或者Big Focking Rocket大型火箭（你也许想知道他们从哪里得到的幽默感！），它肯定会在五年内建成。

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.

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.

我们的Boring Company本月庆祝了第一个生日！除了在洛杉矶的SpaceX总部和巴尔的摩城市下面挖掘隧道，我不得不怀疑是否有人伙同Moleman一起在骗我！现在，Boring知道我对公共交通的看法，并且已经向我保证，这些隧道只能用于电动雪橇上的花式超级跑车和私家车。我很高兴地得知，当老人到地下探望他的孩子的时候，我不必担心连环杀手以及其他人 (此处当有笑声 :-) )。

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.

所以，我亲爱的朋友和粉丝们，同事和竞争对手们，还有尊敬的投资者们，祝福你们。愿你们的生活像我们一样丰富，充满活力和雄心勃勃。
