"At the end of our Starbase tour, they took us to see all the other Starships just waiting to go to space around the Starbase campus," he said. The YouTuber described the experience as a counterweight to pessimistic narratives often found online and in news coverage. "Social media and the news can make the future seem so negative and dire," MrBeast said. "But honestly, what I saw in this video gave me hope." "And if you ask me, that's a pretty exciting future," MrBeast concluded. **SpaceX** may be approaching a record-setting IPO in 2026, with reports pointing to a potential $800 billion valuation—though the company's worth could climb well beyond that in the near future. ## **From Neuralink To Flying Cars, A Vision Of The Future** MrBeast pointed to a range of emerging technologies, including biotech aimed at helping people with disabilities, experimental transportation concepts and advances in genetic science. He referenced "biotech developed to give people with disabilities a new chance at life," a nod widely interpreted as **Neuralink**, Musk's brain-computer interface company. In a separate post on X, **Reddit Inc.** (NYSE:RDDT) co-founder **Alexis Ohanian** encouraged a broader focus on Neuralink's potential. "I love this ofc, but @elonmusk you gotta have @cleoabram do an entire episode of HUGE if True on Neuralink," Ohanian wrote, adding that the technology deserves attention for its capacity to "absolutely change lives." > I love this ofc, but @elonmusk you gotta have @cleoabram do an entire episode of HUGE if True on Neuralink. More folks should know about what it's doing to absolutely change lives (and such a great example of the positive world changing power of AI). https://t.co/dM9DiqYnRH > > — Alexis Ohanian 🗽 (@alexisohanian) January 24, 2026 MrBeast also showcased "cars that literally fly in the air," along with DNA technology designed to reduce animal suffering and prevent extinction and humanity's push toward becoming a multiplanetary species. He showed **Jetson’s** “$150,000 flying car,” racing it and finishing 10 minutes behind—ultimately missing out on a $1 million bet prize. Shares of leading flying taxi makers **Joby Aviation Inc.** (NYSE:JOBY) are up 69.26% over the past 12 months, while **Archer Aviation Inc.** (NYSE:ACHR) has fallen about 6% over the same period. **In ARK Invest** CEO and Tesla bull **Cathie Wood's** portfolio, the Musk-led EV maker is the largest holding with a value of $1.3 billion, accounting for 9.69% of assets, while Archer Aviation represents $274.4 million or 2.05%, and Joby Aviation makes up $29.1 million, or 0.22%. ## **Musk Responds To Viral Message Of Optimism** Musk reacted on social media to MrBeast's comments.
