Donald Trump's inaugural speech was not much different from his campaign speeches that brought the billionaire to the White House. The new head of state is clearly counting on his vision of America to keep him going. In Washington, immediately after the solemn oath, Trump said that he would transfer power to the people.
Donald Trump, President of the United States: "Today's ceremony has a special meaning, because we are not just transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, we are giving the power of Washington to you, the people."
Trump talked about how America will now live in a new way, first of all thinking about itself and its problems.
Donald Trump: “For many decades, we enriched foreign industry at the expense of the American one, paid for the armies of other countries, allowing our army to degrade. We defended the borders of other states, refusing to defend our own. And spending trillions and trillions of dollars abroad while America's infrastructure fell into disrepair."
The words of the new US President are a clear departure from the statements of all previous administrations of the White House in recent years, and above all, Barack Obama, who called America the defender of universal human values. Trump is not going to impose American ideals on anyone.
Donald Trump: “We will seek friendship with all countries of the world, while remembering that the right of all nations to put their own interests above all else. We will no longer impose our worldview on anyone, but let it be an example. We will shine for all who follow us."
Trump supporters who came to Washington from across the country cheered the new president's speech. The newly minted head of the White House moved from words to deeds, including several appointments and the proclamation of a new holiday - National Patriotism Day. And one more detail: from the official website of the White House, dedicated to the rights of sexual minorities and climate change.
However, attention was paid not only to the site. Social media noted that Trump shook hands with Hillary Clinton during the ceremony. As transmits NTV correspondent Alexei Veselovsky, Bill Clinton often looked to the side, where the daughter of the 45th US President Ivanka was standing. This did not escape Hillary's attention. Also, many noted the outfit of US First Lady Melania Trump, comparing her with Jackie Kennedy, who is considered a style icon.
If on her own, then behind the cordon, the protesters tried to create problems for the authorities. There were even small clashes and tear gas. For real, but they drew attention to themselves. Several hundred Trump opponents staged pogroms in the city. As a result, several shop windows, glass of limousines were broken, garbage cans ignited. The police stopped the riots by using stun grenades and tear gas. More than a hundred demonstrators were arrested.
Another "Women's March on Washington" is expected. It was reported that up to 200 thousand people, including actresses, politicians and activists, will take part in it. For example, among the speakers are Scarlett Johansson, director Michael Moore and human rights activist Angela Davis, well known in the USSR in the 70s.

At SpaceX(rocket corporation founded by Musk in 2002) we are working towards a grand philosophical goal, even though we are in business. If we can build a company that will help humans become an interplanetary species, this will be the attainment of the Holy Grail. But if we create something that can deliver people and equipment to Mars, I will consider SpaceX's task completed. At least at the current stage.
Yes, people have been to the moon but since then nothing comparable has been done. I don't even hear about any really serious intentions to take the next step.
There is nothing truly expensive in rocket science. The only problem is that those who did rocket science in the old days did it with appallingly low efficiency.

By far my favorite character is Peter Pan. Growing up is not my plan
Be careful: most things that make a profit will make your life ugly boring.
My mother always wanted me to be able to take care of myself since childhood. But, I think, today, for some educational methods, she would simply be arrested. For example, once, when I was four or five, she dropped me out of the car halfway to the house and told me to drive further on my own.
No one ever calls me Sir Richard. Well, maybe a couple of times they called it that in America, and each time the faces of these people became as if they were participating in a Shakespearean play.
So far my favorite character - This is Peter Pan. Growing up is not my plan.
In order to do business it is not necessary to spend many years studying. Five or six years spent trying to start a business is much more rewarding than the same amount of time spent learning about it. After all, children do not learn to walk from a textbook. Children learn to walk by trying to walk.
Without pure luck in business, unfortunately, not enough.
When I started, I was young and inexperienced. There were many difficulties. For example, for a long time I was not allowed to register a company under the name Virgin (English virgin, virgin), because they considered this word to be against the bounds of decency. Then I sat down at the table and in the handwriting of a 15-year-old teenager wrote them a letter that began like this: “Without any doubt, the word “virgin” cannot violate the boundaries of decency, since it is the exact opposite of any violations.” Here, of course, they softened.
My business model is simple: surround yourself with great people and give them enough freedom to create great things.
Virgin Airlines was born when I was trying to fly from Puerto Rico to the Virgin Islands and the flight was canceled due to not enough passengers. I was then in my early twenties. I wandered around the airport for a while, and then I hired a private jet, borrowed a piece of cardboard from somewhere, and wrote on it: “Virgin Airlines, $39 to the Virgin Islands.” And so, out of my own frustration, a business was born. That's the same reason I'm building a spaceship today - because NASA is not interested in sending me or you into space.
I don't understand why business people can't learn to speak simply. But I got lucky. My dyslexia has shaped my communication style: if something can't be explained in a nutshell, it's rubbish to me.
I am very excited. When people tell me something is impossible, I always try to prove otherwise.
The best investment I've ever made didn't require a huge pile of money. For 125 thousand dollars I bought Necker Island - a real gem of the British Virgin Islands.
In my life there is no "if I then".
I'm used to trouble. The barge I lived on sank, my London office burned to the ground, and the house on the Necker was struck by lightning and lit up like a torch. I remember how we looked at the fire, and I said: "Things are not the main thing." Luckily, I've never been a collector of paintings, wines, or cars, so things don't really mean anything to me. And a couple of months later we played the wedding of Holly, my daughter, on the ashes. It was the most romantic wedding venue I've ever seen in my life, and everyone around me said that if the house hadn't burned down, I should have burnt it down for the occasion.
One day I met a woman who was completely paralyzed from neck to feet. Despite everything, he was the happiest person I have ever met. She said: "Life is beautiful - because I'm alive."

I'm not cheeky. Quite the opposite. I am disappointed. I am humble. I am polite.
Suppose you added two years to my life, on the condition that I go to business school. I don't think I could do anything better. Look at these shelves around - do you see business books here? That's it.
Spend money reasonably as hard as earning them. In the future, I plan to engage in meaningful distribution of money, if, of course, I still have something to distribute.
I comb my hair every time before sending an e-mail, because I hope to look attractive.
Business - great game: constant competition and a minimum of rules. And the score in this game is kept in money.
Gotta say that I feel sorry for the President of the United States. My name is often on the copy of the letters that are sent to him. I think it's even harder for him to deal with his e-mail than it is for me.
Success teaches nothing. He only convinces smart people that they can't lose.
I recently went to a restaurant. A man came up to me and asked me for money. I'm confused. Then he asked me to go to his page on the Internet. I don't know if it was true or not, but I liked this alternative request so much that I gave the guy five bucks. Maybe it was a bum with his own page on the Internet.
Life becomes much more fun if you approach all its challenges creatively.
If you think in terms of time use, religion is not very efficient. There are a lot of things that I can do on a Sunday morning.
Marvelous, but Melinda (wife of Bill Gates) made me want to marry her. This is very strange, because it is absolutely contrary to my rationalistic considerations about marriage.
It's better if the child is attached to the computer than to the TV.
After few years computers will have personality and probably idiosyncrasy. They will understand verbal commands. They may even express sympathy when we are upset. But that doesn't mean they'll really think... yet.
If the letter contains the word "increase"- probably spam.
I do not like conferences in all sorts of exotic places. It seems that the nicer the place, the less work is done.
When I was young I wanted to become the best chess player in the world. I also wanted to be the best Go player in the world. I wanted the IBM-Microsoft partnership to continue for everyone's benefit, but that didn't work either. There are people I wanted to hire but couldn't. All in all, I've had enough disappointments in my life.
Sometimes I envy those who is programming. After I stopped writing programs for Microsoft, I often said half-jokingly in meetings: "Maybe I'll come over the weekend and write this program myself." Now I don't say that anymore, but I think about it all the time.

I have never hit a paparazzi. Sometimes I could run something into them, but this is part of the game
I never preferred fun at work and vice versa - everything worked out naturally for me. You need to feel very subtly what is more important at the moment - to negotiate or just drink a glass of champagne.
Luck - it is the result of a sequence of actions. There is, however, such a thing as fate - and if you need to constantly maintain your own luck, like a fire in a fireplace, then you just need to be ready for fate. It's not easy either.
I grew up in the late sixties - freedom, revolution and all that was in vogue then. But I personally just worked hard in those years - I had to pay for education. I am by no means a revolutionary by nature. I prefer to stand firmly on the ground, work and play. In this sense, I have a typical Italian way of thinking.
I do not like the word "wealth". It doesn't mean anything. The quality of life does not always depend on money. I do not want to become even richer - there is only one life, and you just need to improve its quality. Money can't buy this feeling, it has to be inside. If you have it, the money will follow.
Everything I do - whether it's Formula 1, a hotel business, a club business, a clothing line, it ultimately has one purpose. I am looking for a new lifestyle.
I've only dealt with two geniuses in my life, but they were real geniuses. One was named Luciano Benetton, the other was Bernie Ecclestone. No one has influenced me more.
Jeans I wear either Levi's or Billionaire. What I really like about Billionaire is the shirts and slippers. And so, in principle, I am unpretentious in clothes - Zara will suit the mood.
I have a playboy reputation simply because, unlike many, I never hid that I wanted to have fun. I had fantastic mistresses, I am still friends with them. I always take any business seriously - and you also need to be able to have fun. At the same time, I worked like clockwork. The playboy code of honor suggests that you have a job in life. I knew a lot of rich people, and among them there was not a single idler. I had energy to hell. Eight in the morning - and I'm already in the office, although we've been drinking all night. I am 29 years old. At least my spirit stopped at this mark. Someone dies at 18, someone - at 40, someone - at 80 - I observed the first, second, and third. You have to make sure that you are lucky, that you die later.
I made myself I am no heir. Everyone in my family was a teacher, and I personally did not want to teach anyone. When I was young, people had much more opportunities than they do now. How was it before? If you had brains, then the next day you got a good job. And now smart students are forced to work as waiters.
In young age I worked as a ski instructor in an alpine resort. It's like a movie: a young Italian teaches wealthy American women how to climb a mountain. Actually, I didn't like it. I can't stand the cold. I love the sea. It's just that I was born in the mountains, we used to get two meters of snow there - so I involuntarily knew how to ski.
I have never hit a paparazzi. Sometimes I could run something into them, but this is part of the game. The paparazzi have families, they need to be fed, I understand. I have an agreement with them: in the summer I set aside two days and allow me to shoot anything - so that only then they will leave me alone.
Parties - Basically, it's always boring. Organizing a fun party is harder than earning decent money. Parties depend on people, and people, by and large, rarely know how to really have fun.
Money - it's about like body temperature, you should have it.
For me to fall in love A woman should be able to make me laugh. In the future, she must comply with two conditions: to be faithful to me and not to get on my nerves. Not so much I demand, if you look.

Gates said Trump asked him to explain the difference between HPV and HIV, the human papillomavirus and human immunodeficiency virus.
“He wanted to know if there was a difference between HIV and HPV, and I was able to explain that they are rarely confused with each other,” Gates said. The owner of the TV channel that posted this video claims that Trump twice clarified the difference between these viruses with Gates.

It is worth noting that the Microsoft founder turned down Trump's offer to take the post of science adviser, which has been vacant since January 2017.
According to him, at a meeting with Trump, the conversation was about the development of a universal flu vaccine. Gates previously said he would donate $12 million to the cause.
Trump was "super interested" in the idea, the billionaire said. In the course of communication, a question arose about the vacant position of a science adviser.
“He asked if I wanted to be a science advisor,” Gates says. According to him, he turned down the offer, saying that "it would not be the best use of his time."
Earlier, Bill Gates and his wife allocated 140 million for a new way to treat HIV. Fighting this virus is one of the key activities of the Gates Foundation.
Reference: human papillomavirus (HPV) HPV) is a group of viruses that is extremely widespread throughout the world. There are over 100 types of HPV, of which at least 13 lead to cancer (also known as high-risk viruses). HPV is transmitted primarily through sexual contact, and most people become infected with HPV soon after they become sexually active.
