­　　一位匿名的知情者最新公布了2017年伊隆馬斯克的圣誕卡內(nèi)容，讓我們有幸一睹為快。馬斯克在賀卡中這樣寫道：

­　　“地球眾生都是以地球圍繞太陽的公轉(zhuǎn)周期作為一年的計(jì)量，但是我總是與時(shí)間有著不同的關(guān)系，而且并不僅僅因?yàn)槲沂腔鹦侨恕＃ㄟ@只是開玩笑，你不必當(dāng)真。）但即使是我也無法否認(rèn)時(shí)間正向前發(fā)展。我的人生中發(fā)生了如此多的事情，而且現(xiàn)在似乎是分享我的‘家庭成員’最新成績的良好時(shí)機(jī)。

­　　SpaceX（15歲）生長的非常迅速。SpaceX不僅成功在今年夏天完成了國際空間站的第12次再補(bǔ)給任務(wù)，而且一份相當(dāng)詳細(xì)的殖民火星計(jì)劃彰顯著它的不斷提升的野心。這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃中包含了一個被公司稱為BFR火箭的行星間運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)，而且將在5年內(nèi)建造完成。

­　　特斯拉（14歲）在今年夏天承諾開始交付Model 3汽車之后，我的這個小汽車制造商為了達(dá)成目標(biāo)一路狂奔。Model 3可以說是一項(xiàng)奇跡，擁有巨大的玻璃車頂、革命性的觸屏界面以及你所期待的特斯拉加速能力。我可以肯定已經(jīng)預(yù)定Model 3的40萬消費(fèi)者在得到他們的汽車之后會認(rèn)同我的觀點(diǎn)。早熟的特斯拉好像還不滿足于此，今年還展示了一款電動卡車，而且有許多公司已經(jīng)下了訂單，此外還有一款能夠給汽油車帶來沖擊的全新跑車。

­　　OpenAI（2歲）和Neuralink（1歲）。我一直認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)當(dāng)將我們的大腦與計(jì)算機(jī)融合到一起，而且我很高興這兩個年輕的家庭成員致力于實(shí)現(xiàn)我的這一夢想。OpenAI甚至還在借助異常苗條的相撲選手讓人工智能更加聰明和敏捷?；蛟S未來它能夠使用為自動駕駛系統(tǒng)設(shè)計(jì)的AI芯片幫助它的哥哥特斯拉。

­　　Boring公司（1歲）這個月度過的自己的第一個生日。根據(jù)它在SpaceX的洛杉磯總部下面和巴爾的摩下面挖掘的隧道，我不得不猜測是否有人會借助鼴鼠人欺騙我。Boring了解我對于公共交通系統(tǒng)的想法，而且讓我放心的是這些隧道是為充滿想象力的超回路列車和搭乘電動滑板行動的私家車準(zhǔn)備的。如果有一天老年人能夠乘坐地下運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)去看望自己的孩子的話，我會感到很欣慰，我不必?fù)?dān)心連環(huán)殺人惡魔或者是其他危險(xiǎn)人物出現(xiàn)。

­　　那么長話短說，給我的朋友們、粉絲們、伙伴們、競爭對手們還有投資者們送上我最真摯的祝福。愿你們的生活和我們的一樣富有、令人振奮而且充滿野心！”（過客）

­　　以下為賀卡英文原文：

­　　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
