Wow. This guy's in hi earth orbit, spinning out of control. Has anybody told him that "dirt" doesn't make bricks? Geez Louise! Anybody can see what IS required with a 5 min. web search.
<Natural clay minerals, including kaolin and shale, make up the main body of brick. Small amounts of manganese, barium, and other additives are blended with the clay to produce different shades, and barium carbonate is used to improve brick's chemical resistance to the elements. Many other additives have been used in brick, including byproducts from papermaking, ammonium compounds, wetting agents, flocculents (which cause particles to form loose clusters) and deflocculents (which disperse such clusters). Some clays require the addition of sand or grog (pre-ground, pre-fired material such as scrap brick). A wide variety of coating materials and methods are used to produce brick of a certain color or surface texture. To create a typical coating, sand (the main component) is mechanically mixed with some type of colorant. Sometimes a flux or frit (a glass containing colorants) is added to produce surface textures. The flux lowers the melting temperature of the sand so it can bond to the brick surface. Other materials including graded fired and unfired brick, nepheline syenite, and graded aggregate can be used as well.>

Apparently, Elon couldn't waste 5 minutes of his incredibly valuable time before this latest bizarre claim. Sorry man, making bricks is isn't the same as selling tunnel dirt...))
What's next? He runs for president? Only the left could find and continue to support somebody like this.
