Elon is the embodiment of today's capitalism system, where the value is where you make people believe it is. His most powerful ability (and maybe his only one) is the ability to tell a good story, which is almost always a lie. He reminds me of one boss i had that could cite two or three phrases about almost every subject, but if you went any deeper into any subject, you would see how he knew absolutely nothing about it. Good times, folks
Ya, "tell a good story" is why u have Space X doing 90% of upmass to orbit. Why Tesla is worth next 5 big auto companies combined. Maybe u should use truth in evaluating people.

The key is that his success is built on making lots and lots of others fail. When you're success comes at enormous cost to others. You have to be willing to be subhuman and forget about a heart.
My biggest problem with this piece is that it completely ignores what is the actual failure rate of going "maniac" "demon" mode or whatever. You can find success stories for pretty much any business methodologies you can think of, but it does not prove that the process itself is sound and reliable.
What is it about it that you hate so much? It's eye-catching to make someone click, and it's saying what a lot of people think, that EM loves himself (not me, I don't really know anything about him).
Demon mode can build a company but... It builds the company at much higher expense to its employees. Both in stress and livelihood. Whilst those employees receive none of the benefits from it. It should be illegal.
@@FreshGuava161It's Elon kissing himself. I don't get why people are furious to the point of unsubscribing when it's commentary about how much he loves himself. Unless you're some sort of uber Elon worshipper who disagrees violently with the idea that he's self-obsessed? Truly, I don't get it! 😂😂

If you're going to run a company in demon mode.. Yes it might be more successful but if you're going to make it successful at a much higher expense to employees you better be paying them multiple times more than at a non-shake up company because they are putting their livelihoods and their stress at a much higher risk working under that kind of environment it's not the same as a slower growth company.
@slidebean 5:37, that's not him picking a fight with Israel, he's actually siding with Israel there. Please take this as constructive feedback: it seems a bit negligent to make this mistake, a slightly more thorough research of this context here would have made this clear.
Musk like Kanye is on the spectrum. Very focused, dedicated, passionate on HIS target but social interaction, empathy etc is a shit show. Founders can learn NOTHING from either of these ‘successful’ men, unless they are also on the spectrum themselves. This analysis is a waste unless you want to reshape your mind itself, too many are trying to copy Musk to be a billionaire. Set your sites lower and be happy with a few million you don’t NEED to match Elon.
Thanks for noticing! I literally only own two watches, and if they’re both in this video it’s because we had to do re-shoots and I screwed the continuity. Caya
The fact that we have academic institutions filled with smart people going and doing research and phds really contradicts "cold hard cash motivates our smartest to do brilliant things"
Additionally, making cold hard cash seems to at the very least encourage ruthlessness and selfishness and sociopathy as much as it "motivates our smartest to do brilliant things".
There is a huge difference between building shit and researching shit. The incentives around building a company and doing research are significantly different. Namely if your company does not produce what people want, you go bankrupt. A lot of times in Academia, folks do research to get funding. Doesn’t matter if their research doesn’t lead to anything that helps society.
Most of what you call research is worthless in changing anyone's life and also most of them publish what gets funding ( cold hard cash). You're not comparing apples too apples here.
This is clearly a personal rant against Elon Musk... not sure why Caya decided to discuss his personal/political opinions via his public Slidebean channel under the guise of "what can we learn from him", smh. Not a good move IMO. Anyway, those who don't see or acknowledge the widespread political campaigns over the last decade to manipulate public opinion against Elon Musk are living in a bubble. Personally, I couldn't care less about the man, but to each their own.
This is something I see morons do a lot lately, taking someone or something that has a generally negative public perception, and then saying that negative perception only exists because of the media. I don’t think Elon sucks because the media says he sucks, I think Elon sucks because of his actions. It might make you feel better to have a boogie man to blame for people having a different opinion than you, but it doesn’t make it true. This video is a pretty fair and objective piece about Musk, you just don’t like questioning your own beliefs.
What political ploy against him, he publicly puts his thoughts out on twitter willingly. He does it to himself. Whether you believe he is right or wrong he does it to himself without a doubt.
@@TimTimTheTimyou have maybe 10% of the whole picture. I always tell myself, STFU unless you KNOW what you're talking about...

i guess all the people shocked by the thumbnail havent seen enough political art. or maybe im just jealous of people who havent seen the mural of Putin and Trump tonguing each other lmao
This art from people we don't care about. Here it's different. People don't wanna be fed an agenda on a something they care about. this is some Disney Marvel kind of situation
I first realized what a moron Musk truly was when he was asked about who was better Tesla or Edison. Tesla one of the greatest minds to ever exist on the planet. The father of the entire modern age. Or Edison a ruthless capitalist who stole and lied his way to prosperity, including stealing and hurting Tesla. And Elon said Edison. FYI Elon didn't start "Tesla" or name it. He's an idiot.
When Einstein was asked by a reporter, what it was like to be the smartest man on the planet. Einstein responded, when I speak with Mr. Tesla I will ask him.
12:03 It is not Elon who came up with this method. The Chinese did this before Elon. And before the Chinese it was the Japanese. The difference with Elon is that you work for few years, make loads of money while making a big difference to the World. With Chinese, you will do the same kind of work and in the end produce a cheap knock-off of iPhones and you don't feel good about it. Which one will you pick?
Population collapse is also a really serious problem globally. Greece, Spain, USA, China, UK, South Korea, Japan etc it goes on and on. The replacement rate of 2.1 babies is not being hit. In a hundred years at this rate most living people will be retired. It could be a disaster. We've deeply disturbed the natural rythm of family in the last 50 years and replaced life with answering emails.
if population growth kept being exponential finite resources would run out before we found solutions to replace them. The worlds population is vastly larger than it was 100 years ago so I don't think it should be a concern.
@@lg6707 It SHOULD be a main concern because the social welfare system is already a s*it in those countries and as we already know, the s*it welfare system is a major reason for the rising cost of living which is a big part of the low fertility rate and this becomes a cycle and if not stopped soon, would eventually lead to the entire collapse of the economy and the entire civilisation. Also, population growth is not exponential, it hasn't been for a long time and the times when it was exponential, we got out of it pretty safely.
16:34 something I’ve always had an issue with is referencing that someone has “too much power”. We want startups to succeed and usually when someone sells their startup for hundreds of millions we celebrate it as a success. But if they turn that into more… suddenly the public is like, “hold on now, that’s too much now you have to stop being so successful because it’s not fair to us little guys.” - where does this cycle stop?
It doesn't. I mean, why would it? There is nothing unfair about people being much richer than yourself. First off, the uneven wealth distribution argument is pretty ridiculous and assumes a very primitive and unrealistic view of the economy. We don't have a fixed amount of wealth in the world that can run out. Obviously, there are state budgets and similar, but people get mad when a business owner sells of his company worth a large amount (i.e. nothing to do with budgets) and gets super-rich. Lots of made up value thanks to the OWNER, value which was ADDED to the world economy. World GDP increases every year, adjusted for inflation, because of more and more companies literally creating more wealth. Wealth and value are in our heads. There's a reason it's called net worth and not net sum or something like that. Secondly, the problem of rich people being able to slither their way around the legal system is a problem in the legal system. It doesn't matter if we have millionaires, billionaires, or even trillionaires, if there is a way to cheat, someone will do it. People tend to direct their anger on a scapegoat, like rich people when the real problem is bad regulations. Lazy government. Btw I am not arguing against you just giving my 2 cents.
@@LocPH. The government isn't lazy, it's corrupt. There's a difference, corruption is often highly motivated. And what are they corrupted by? Money, and the chance at more power, which means more money. And who is buying the politicians? Rich people. Or in the case of people like Sunak and Trump, they skip the middle-man and directly get into politics to increase their wealth via corruption. Also, yes income inequality is unfair. A CEO earning 50x that of a nurse, does not work 50x harder than a nurse, has not invested 50x more time into their education or training either. That is a system that is inherently unfair there's no amount of mental gymnastics you can do to tell me that someone deserves 50x more wealth, unless they also put in 50x more work. A truly fair system would be one that recognises equal effort with equal reward, with all people having access to that same opportunity. Now obviously that system doesn't exist, and you could even say, will never exist. But in that case, we need to be intellectually honest, stop going around simping for the rich, saying the economic system we have is just and fair when it's clearly not.
Lol Pablo, I agree with you. And I think someone is bitter about the size of their ceo hat. Dude, don't try to compare yourself to Elon, his shoe is way too big for you. You won't be as successful as him. Get over it.
You view of Elon will probably depend on if you value what he's actually accomplished in the world or if you value consensus where single individuals don't stick out or say stuff you perceive to be stupid. As an energy engineer worried about climate change, I'm thankful for Tesla. Without Elon there wouldn't have been a global shift towards EV's now. Those achievements are more important than his political opinions. But then I don't identify with my beliefs so I don't get emotionally offended by others stupid opinions..
Terrible video... If you're trying to enable your audience to form an unbiased opinion you need to take your personal biases out of the picture as well as point out the pros and cons. This is some just some just randomly deep-diving into someones personal life and taking random out of context snippets to create false narratives... I agree Elon is up on some ego trip at times but bring it up factually without randomly just sharing only the negatives by the very 'trustworthy' media currently. For example, Im sure many people talked positively about him coming out publicly about his Aspergers. I know many people in the austism community was grateful for that. You only shared negatives throughout this video and made random assumptions coming from random parts in his life. To me this his just hypocrisy, biased media trying to steer some weird narrative claiming to be unbiased. I lost so much respect in Caya and Slidebean from this.
Its fascinating that you as an "entrepreneur" advocate for higher taxes. I'd like to see a deeper dive on this position. I suspect you're audience catering.
It's wrong to dismiss his autism because he's rich. That's like dismissing a rich person's cancer diagnosis because they're rich and wishing for their death. You don't have to like him. But some things shoild be off the table for judgment like that. Autism is one of them.
He’s crazy, but he speaks his mind. Sometimes he should probably keep his mouth shut. He’s good and bad. EV adoption would be almost stagnant without him pushing Tesla forward. I know he didn’t make Tesla. His Space and Internet company could be amazing. He wants to leave this planet for some reason. maybe EV’s can’t save us? Who knows. His political views are just that, his Views, you don’t have to agree with them or like them for that matter. That’s why we all have different views in the first place.
I don't think he was bullied in a traditional sense that he was singled out, not more than any other kid. His sheltered environment didn't have the kind of bullies that the rest of us faced and there were plenty of 'soft targets' for that kind of bully. Elon was larger than his classmates. It's an excuse he uses to cover for being abrasive and unliked as a child. It is easier to say he was disliked by random 'bullies' than to admit he was disliked because of his own personality. He's an arrogant narcissist and always has been.
i know personally that when a person with high functioning autism is interacting with people who are outside of their bubble of people who don't pick apart and scrutinize with the every single action or conversation that is had, it can a lot of times lead to the individual embodying fake aspects of personalities outside of their own. Basically there is an intense uneasiness that will flood your confidence and without even "choosing" you will start mimicking what you believe the people your interacting with will accept. Prior to knowing i was on the spectrum I would find myself doing and saying anything i felt would keep me from being an "other" or not fitting in. Even when it came to joining in on saying things that were absolutely not true and flat out lies about people i actually was friends with and knew were lies but i couldn't see at that time how i wasn't being "me" and i was instead repeating or mimicking them. I know not all people are totally the same and there are so many different factors at play but when it comes to interacting with society..... when you struggle so much and know just how much criticism everything you do, say, act, choose, think, feel, hate, love.....well you go into more of a fight or flight mode of exsistance and unfortunately you will role play a character who fits in but is not "you" When your around people who you know really accept and understand you for both your good and bad characteristics willing to see your intentions behind actions and let small or unimportant things go.
I like how Elon is trying to claim aspergers when there is footage of him when he is younger with non of the symptoms, guess it is a good way to explain keta addiction symptoms
That's not really fair. I grew up in a neuro diverse house, and my wife is on the spectrum. Masking especially in environments unfriendly to your brain type is how you survive
I don't understand if he has it. But he has the means to get diagnosed and support that others don't have access to. I'm also slightly sceptical about it because he likes the alt-right pepe stuff and they also say they have autism and now he is kekius maximus. For all we know he has an unstable sense of self ans is acting how he thinks he should act. We are far removed from him. And secondly, cptsd which can result from abuse has many similarities to Autism spectrum disorder. I don't mean to disrespect anyone who self diagnosed with no other choice btw but I also think that we have to be cautious with this stuff.
Just how many people has Musk sent to space? How many space probes has Musk sent to other planets in this solar system? Just how much knowledge of this solar system is down to what Musk does? Look to NASA and the ESA not Musk.
You gave Elon wayyyy more credit than was due for Tesla (which the only thing he did was pay into and promote), Starlink (which is a satellite system no different than so many existing ones, Spacex which has accomplished nothing we already didn’t do since 1967. You should hop into a non-existent roadster, and re-evaluate his ACTUAL contributions to the world.
Someone who uses the term tough childhood doesn't know what tough looks like. People who have been through tough childhoods give actual descriptions of what they dealt with.
15:05 that's an incredibly questionable statement. the world is filled with brilliant minds creating things without the incentive of money. the incentive is curiosity money is simply needed for survival. also, billionaires usually are not brilliant minds as they would like to think they are.
No matter how the media paints him. He is definitely off the charts. 🌟 He's a modern day technological monolith. They'll be talking about him 500 year's from now. 🙌🏾
Absolutely. Anyone who can't acknowledge this is living with Elon Derangement Syndrome, contracted from a decade of political campaigns to manipulate public opinion against the man.
The problem with "money in politics" right now is less that big money is in politics (it's less in some ways), and much more that ordinary people's money is now in politics. Witness Musk having no real influence over Democrats despite his money. The real problem right now, and why the country is becoming more divided, is that everyday people's $50 donations have freed too many politicians from needing big donors... As long as they can press the buttons of regular people and get them emotional enough to donate. It's a disaster, seriously.
Elons dad wasn't rich, especially compared to Elon's self-made fortune. An engineer and consultant in South Africa, Erol owned his engineering firm and worked across various sectors, including real estate and technology. However, there's no evidence that he was exceptionally rich. Elon Musk has stated in interviews that his family was not poor but not considered wealthy either, especially compared to wealthier communities where they lived.
@@voidunit1 I mean can you share ANY first hand article which proves your version. When he came to Canada, he has $100, when he graduated from college, he had $100 K of college debt, his mother and siblings stayed in the rent controlled apartment.
It’s interesting to say capitalism motivates innovations like no other system when most of the solutions we currently get are either how to push more capitalism or fix the original problems in the first place. Case in point, the reason Elon is the richest person is for claiming to fix the problem capitalism created which was oil destroying the planet.
What did we have before capitalism? Monarchy. What did monarchy result in? Slow innovation, slow improvements in quality of life, large percentage of the population in poverty. What were the results of capitalism and the use of fossil fuels? Billions of people lifted out of poverty world wide, humans incentivized to innovate and celebrate intellect over raw power. Is it perfect? No. Find me a system that is. It sure as hell isn’t socialism or communism. Not yet. We are limited by the technology of our time, but ultimately capitalism will propel us to an age of technology and creativity that transcends the current system. That is, if the warmongers in government that abuse their power and steal our buying power don’t kill us first. The issue isn’t capitalism, it’s people, and capitalism is the best we currently have to try and steer those people in the right direction. Technology is our only constraint, and the answer to the problem that constraint presents is not to embrace a system that gives our crooked government even more power. What do you think the likes of Trump or Pelosi would do with that power? Usher in an age of utopia? Please, go outside.
We had feudalism (with a monarch being at the top of land ownership). It was the best solution for its time, now imagine if all the people then thought we shouldn’t try other systems. We’d still be peasants. There were many imaginative inventions before capitalism. What fueled the era we have today was industrialization… using machines to do work. Capitalism thrived just fine when its biggest invention was using slaves to do work.
@@kowboy702 Read the book. I wish I read that book when i was young. Your neurons are being wasted going against capitalism. You will be thankful afterwards. It is as if you get out of the matrix.
Fine then, forget about flying, commuting with anything other than a horse or a camel, using any electric device, etc.. and feel good about not having oil.
Humans on Mars won't happen for another 50 years... Why do I say that... Because you don't need humans on Mars. Just look at how many people really want to visit Antarctica...
I absolutely do not agree with the thumbnail in anyway imaginable let me clarify that before watching this video (To my self ofc). This is perhaps the only time when ads have given me time.
10:05 Bro that's bad analysis. It is not a contradiction. Elon is right. The Earth can handle 10x more population with ease. The issue of carbon emissions has nothing to do with population. It definitely has to do with us relying on non-renewables. That problem is what Elon is solving. Also, the reason he is insisting on having more kids is because the TFR is falling down drastically all over the World for most communities except Muslims. We'll eventually end up with Sharia Law in the West and in places like India if we don't get our act together. You want to live under Democracy or Sharia Law?
Elon Musk is just another Guru, self proclaimed genius. We love this success stories and capitalism make us believe in that. The garage entrepreneur, the self made billionaire changing the world….. We can’t see the world is only changing to stay as it is, same people on top, most of us at the bottom. Nothing is going to change with the EV’s . Most of the emissions don’t come from cars and even with that, most of the countries don’t have the infrastructure to adopt EVs as a viable solution. We idolize Musk because we want to be seen in a Cybertruck, or maybe we think that go to Mars is progress for the humanity…. America has seen too many Marvel movies. Most of Elon musk companies will be in bankruptcy in less than 5 years and we’ll be talking about the next big genius.

@slidebean 5:37, that's not him picking a fight with Israel, he's actually siding with Israel there. Please take this as constructive feedback: it seems a bit negligent to make this mistake, a slightly more thorough research of this context here would have made this clear.

The thumbnail was a stroke of genius 😁👌
Drink every time he says “us founders”. We get it man, you have company too lol
Musk like Kanye is on the spectrum. Very focused, dedicated, passionate on HIS target but social interaction, empathy etc is a shit show. Founders can learn NOTHING from either of these ‘successful’ men, unless they are also on the spectrum themselves.
This analysis is a waste unless you want to reshape your mind itself, too many are trying to copy Musk to be a billionaire. Set your sites lower and be happy with a few million you don’t NEED to match Elon.
I don't believe he's on the spectrum. He's just a dickhead.
He's a liar/scam artists with a fan base.
I like your wristwatches, dude. You've got good taste and some nice pieces.
Thanks for noticing! I literally only own two watches, and if they’re both in this video it’s because we had to do re-shoots and I screwed the continuity.

When all is said and done we may learn that Elon Musk had help that comes with eternal consequences.
The fact that we have academic institutions filled with smart people going and doing research and phds really contradicts "cold hard cash motivates our smartest to do brilliant things"
Additionally, making cold hard cash seems to at the very least encourage ruthlessness and selfishness and sociopathy as much as it "motivates our smartest to do brilliant things".
There is a huge difference between building shit and researching shit.
The incentives around building a company and doing research are significantly different. Namely if your company does not produce what people want, you go bankrupt. A lot of times in Academia, folks do research to get funding. Doesn’t matter if their research doesn’t lead to anything that helps society.
Most of what you call research is worthless in changing anyone's life and also most of them publish what gets funding ( cold hard cash). You're not comparing apples too apples here.
This is clearly a personal rant against Elon Musk... not sure why Caya decided to discuss his personal/political opinions via his public Slidebean channel under the guise of "what can we learn from him", smh. Not a good move IMO. Anyway, those who don't see or acknowledge the widespread political campaigns over the last decade to manipulate public opinion against Elon Musk are living in a bubble. Personally, I couldn't care less about the man, but to each their own.
Says doesn't care about elon and also writes a lot about why pointing out his shitty behaviour is wrong
This is something I see morons do a lot lately, taking someone or something that has a generally negative public perception, and then saying that negative perception only exists because of the media. I don’t think Elon sucks because the media says he sucks, I think Elon sucks because of his actions. It might make you feel better to have a boogie man to blame for people having a different opinion than you, but it doesn’t make it true. This video is a pretty fair and objective piece about Musk, you just don’t like questioning your own beliefs.
What political ploy against him, he publicly puts his thoughts out on twitter willingly. He does it to himself. Whether you believe he is right or wrong he does it to himself without a doubt.
@@TimTimTheTimyou have maybe 10% of the whole picture. I always tell myself, STFU unless you KNOW what you're talking about...

i dont get the father rich part, did the father gave a millions to elon or else? where did you find that the father is a millionaire?
People has a profound envy of those that are better than them so they have to pull them down.
@@supersuperbakanoit’s public knowledge his family was rich before elon musk was even born. A google search would have saved you the embarrassment but you re glazing elon all over the comments page
@@supersuperbakanoby better do you mean better at having rich parents cause I wanna master that skill… what school has that course
Yes Elon’s father funded his first venture. He had a leg up to begin with when most can barely stand. There’s many “Elons” who’s one true failing was just not having rich parents.
Ps. I have a CS degree and work for a company worth $3T… I also had a leg up.
@@kowboy702 You do productive work at your $3T company. DO NOT feel guilty. I recommend to you this book: Axel Kaise The street economist 15 Economics Lessons Everyone Should Know. It will change your life.
There's plenty of information on Errol Musk on the internet. He owned an Emerald mine.
Man you got comments from reddit of all places.
i guess all the people shocked by the thumbnail havent seen enough political art. or maybe im just jealous of people who havent seen the mural of Putin and Trump tonguing each other lmao
This art from people we don't care about. Here it's different. People don't wanna be fed an agenda on a something they care about. this is some Disney Marvel kind of situation
Fresh guava you sound like an absolute pathetic simp for Elon. You're in a cult bro, wake up
Elons aragence has helped him get far but it will likely cost him if he burns bridges with it.
I first realized what a moron Musk truly was when he was asked about who was better Tesla or Edison. Tesla one of the greatest minds to ever exist on the planet. The father of the entire modern age. Or Edison a ruthless capitalist who stole and lied his way to prosperity, including stealing and hurting Tesla. And Elon said Edison. FYI Elon didn't start "Tesla" or name it. He's an idiot.
When Einstein was asked by a reporter, what it was like to be the smartest man on the planet. Einstein responded, when I speak with Mr. Tesla I will ask him.
why did it stop there i wanteed to see more of it... did he manage to stand or did he need to sit down?
Thumbnail successful. I fell into this nothing-burger of clickbait.
This is excellent man. I don’t usually comment ever I subscribed and liked your video.
12:03 It is not Elon who came up with this method. The Chinese did this before Elon. And before the Chinese it was the Japanese. The difference with Elon is that you work for few years, make loads of money while making a big difference to the World. With Chinese, you will do the same kind of work and in the end produce a cheap knock-off of iPhones and you don't feel good about it. Which one will you pick?
do i see nothing wrong with the thumbnail or did they change it
It was changed. Thank God 🎉
Young Man: To equate making lots of money as a sure sign of a successful human being is simplistic, I believe. jimmy
Population collapse is also a really serious problem globally. Greece, Spain, USA, China, UK, South Korea, Japan etc it goes on and on. The replacement rate of 2.1 babies is not being hit. In a hundred years at this rate most living people will be retired. It could be a disaster. We've deeply disturbed the natural rythm of family in the last 50 years and replaced life with answering emails.
if population growth kept being exponential finite resources would run out before we found solutions to replace them. The worlds population is vastly larger than it was 100 years ago so I don't think it should be a concern.
@@lg6707
It SHOULD be a main concern because the social welfare system is already a s*it in those countries and as we already know, the s*it welfare system is a major reason for the rising cost of living which is a big part of the low fertility rate and this becomes a cycle and if not stopped soon, would eventually lead to the entire collapse of the economy and the entire civilisation.
Also, population growth is not exponential, it hasn't been for a long time and the times when it was exponential, we got out of it pretty safely.
16:34 something I’ve always had an issue with is referencing that someone has “too much power”. We want startups to succeed and usually when someone sells their startup for hundreds of millions we celebrate it as a success. But if they turn that into more… suddenly the public is like, “hold on now, that’s too much now you have to stop being so successful because it’s not fair to us little guys.” - where does this cycle stop?
It doesn't. I mean, why would it? There is nothing unfair about people being much richer than yourself. First off, the uneven wealth distribution argument is pretty ridiculous and assumes a very primitive and unrealistic view of the economy. We don't have a fixed amount of wealth in the world that can run out. Obviously, there are state budgets and similar, but people get mad when a business owner sells of his company worth a large amount (i.e. nothing to do with budgets) and gets super-rich. Lots of made up value thanks to the OWNER, value which was ADDED to the world economy. World GDP increases every year, adjusted for inflation, because of more and more companies literally creating more wealth. Wealth and value are in our heads. There's a reason it's called net worth and not net sum or something like that. Secondly, the problem of rich people being able to slither their way around the legal system is a problem in the legal system. It doesn't matter if we have millionaires, billionaires, or even trillionaires, if there is a way to cheat, someone will do it. People tend to direct their anger on a scapegoat, like rich people when the real problem is bad regulations. Lazy government.
Btw I am not arguing against you just giving my 2 cents.
@@LocPH. The government isn't lazy, it's corrupt. There's a difference, corruption is often highly motivated. And what are they corrupted by? Money, and the chance at more power, which means more money. And who is buying the politicians? Rich people. Or in the case of people like Sunak and Trump, they skip the middle-man and directly get into politics to increase their wealth via corruption.
Also, yes income inequality is unfair. A CEO earning 50x that of a nurse, does not work 50x harder than a nurse, has not invested 50x more time into their education or training either. That is a system that is inherently unfair there's no amount of mental gymnastics you can do to tell me that someone deserves 50x more wealth, unless they also put in 50x more work. A truly fair system would be one that recognises equal effort with equal reward, with all people having access to that same opportunity. Now obviously that system doesn't exist, and you could even say, will never exist. But in that case, we need to be intellectually honest, stop going around simping for the rich, saying the economic system we have is just and fair when it's clearly not.
Lol Pablo, I agree with you. And I think someone is bitter about the size of their ceo hat. Dude, don't try to compare yourself to Elon, his shoe is way too big for you. You won't be as successful as him. Get over it.
I hate this apologetic view.
You view of Elon will probably depend on if you value what he's actually accomplished in the world or if you value consensus where single individuals don't stick out or say stuff you perceive to be stupid.
As an energy engineer worried about climate change, I'm thankful for Tesla. Without Elon there wouldn't have been a global shift towards EV's now. Those achievements are more important than his political opinions.
But then I don't identify with my beliefs so I don't get emotionally offended by others stupid opinions..
Terrible video... If you're trying to enable your audience to form an unbiased opinion you need to take your personal biases out of the picture as well as point out the pros and cons. This is some just some just randomly deep-diving into someones personal life and taking random out of context snippets to create false narratives...
I agree Elon is up on some ego trip at times but bring it up factually without randomly just sharing only the negatives by the very 'trustworthy' media currently. For example, Im sure many people talked positively about him coming out publicly about his Aspergers. I know many people in the austism community was grateful for that. You only shared negatives throughout this video and made random assumptions coming from random parts in his life.
To me this his just hypocrisy, biased media trying to steer some weird narrative claiming to be unbiased. I lost so much respect in Caya and Slidebean from this.

These morons would love this just to spite anyone with higher income
I don't agree with everything you've said in this video, but I appreciate and respect your honest and balanced perspective on such a divisive figure.
wow, very well done. Subscribed.
Awesome vid!
It's wrong to dismiss his autism because he's rich. That's like dismissing a rich person's cancer diagnosis because they're rich and wishing for their death. You don't have to like him. But some things shoild be off the table for judgment like that. Autism is one of them.
This thumbnail go crazy
He’s crazy, but he speaks his mind. Sometimes he should probably keep his mouth shut. He’s good and bad. EV adoption would be almost stagnant without him pushing Tesla forward. I know he didn’t make Tesla. His Space and Internet company could be amazing. He wants to leave this planet for some reason. maybe EV’s can’t save us? Who knows. His political views are just that, his Views, you don’t have to agree with them or like them for that matter. That’s why we all have different views in the first place.
I don't think he was bullied in a traditional sense that he was singled out, not more than any other kid. His sheltered environment didn't have the kind of bullies that the rest of us faced and there were plenty of 'soft targets' for that kind of bully. Elon was larger than his classmates.
It's an excuse he uses to cover for being abrasive and unliked as a child. It is easier to say he was disliked by random 'bullies' than to admit he was disliked because of his own personality. He's an arrogant narcissist and always has been.
the part where you went "should billionaires should stop existing altogether."
Animals have only one goal in life, to breed, humans are still animals.
i know personally that when a person with high functioning autism is interacting with people who are outside of their bubble of people who don't pick apart and scrutinize with the every single action or conversation that is had, it can a lot of times lead to the individual embodying fake aspects of personalities outside of their own.
Basically there is an intense uneasiness that will flood your confidence and without even "choosing" you will start mimicking what you believe the people your interacting with will accept. Prior to knowing i was on the spectrum I would find myself doing and saying anything i felt would keep me from being an "other" or not fitting in. Even when it came to joining in on saying things that were absolutely not true and flat out lies about people i actually was friends with and knew were lies but i couldn't see at that time how i wasn't being "me" and i was instead repeating or mimicking them.
I know not all people are totally the same and there are so many different factors at play but when it comes to interacting with society..... when you struggle so much and know just how much criticism everything you do, say, act, choose, think, feel, hate, love.....well you go into more of a fight or flight mode of exsistance and unfortunately you will role play a character who fits in but is not "you"
When your around people who you know really accept and understand you for both your good and bad characteristics willing to see your intentions behind actions and let small or unimportant things go.
Love your videos. You are a genius!!!
I was good, I was stomaching everything until: " When we reach Mars " I'm all set, I'm out
I like how Elon is trying to claim aspergers when there is footage of him when he is younger with non of the symptoms, guess it is a good way to explain keta addiction symptoms
That's not really fair. I grew up in a neuro diverse house, and my wife is on the spectrum. Masking especially in environments unfriendly to your brain type is how you survive
I don't understand if he has it. But he has the means to get diagnosed and support that others don't have access to.
I'm also slightly sceptical about it because he likes the alt-right pepe stuff and they also say they have autism and now he is kekius maximus. For all we know he has an unstable sense of self ans is acting how he thinks he should act. We are far removed from him.
And secondly, cptsd which can result from abuse has many similarities to Autism spectrum disorder.
I don't mean to disrespect anyone who self diagnosed with no other choice btw but I also think that we have to be cautious with this stuff.
2:09 “some” of his help? US doesn’t have a way to send humans into space without Elon Musk. Cmon man. Give credit where its due
Just how many people has Musk sent to space? How many space probes has Musk sent to other planets in this solar system? Just how much knowledge of this solar system is down to what Musk does? Look to NASA and the ESA not Musk.
You gave Elon wayyyy more credit than was due for Tesla (which the only thing he did was pay into and promote), Starlink (which is a satellite system no different than so many existing ones, Spacex which has accomplished nothing we already didn’t do since 1967. You should hop into a non-existent roadster, and re-evaluate his ACTUAL contributions to the world.

Tough childhood Elon makes me laugh
His father took a small step for mankind. 😌
Someone who uses the term tough childhood doesn't know what tough looks like. People who have been through tough childhoods give actual descriptions of what they dealt with.
15:05 that's an incredibly questionable statement. the world is filled with brilliant minds creating things without the incentive of money. the incentive is curiosity money is simply needed for survival. also, billionaires usually are not brilliant minds as they would like to think they are.

Yeah as a guy that managed to dupe everyone like Ponzi
Absolutely. Anyone who can't acknowledge this is living with Elon Derangement Syndrome, contracted from a decade of political campaigns to manipulate public opinion against the man.
Elon Fistmagnet.
The problem with "money in politics" right now is less that big money is in politics (it's less in some ways), and much more that ordinary people's money is now in politics.
Witness Musk having no real influence over Democrats despite his money.
The real problem right now, and why the country is becoming more divided, is that everyday people's $50 donations have freed too many politicians from needing big donors... As long as they can press the buttons of regular people and get them emotional enough to donate.
It's a disaster, seriously.
Founders need better role models. As a society we MUST do better.
Have noticed, in majority of your videos you like to repeat, "as founder" or "us founders". Is there a reason for this?
I don't quite get the question? Are you confused or bothered to why he calls himself and others founders?
Elons dad wasn't rich, especially compared to Elon's self-made fortune. An engineer and consultant in South Africa, Erol owned his engineering firm and worked across various sectors, including real estate and technology. However, there's no evidence that he was exceptionally rich. Elon Musk has stated in interviews that his family was not poor but not considered wealthy either, especially compared to wealthier communities where they lived.
Hilarious how unaware you are
@@voidunit1 I mean can you share ANY first hand article which proves your version. When he came to Canada, he has $100, when he graduated from college, he had $100 K of college debt, his mother and siblings stayed in the rent controlled apartment.
It’s interesting to say capitalism motivates innovations like no other system when most of the solutions we currently get are either how to push more capitalism or fix the original problems in the first place. Case in point, the reason Elon is the richest person is for claiming to fix the problem capitalism created which was oil destroying the planet.
What did we have before capitalism? Monarchy. What did monarchy result in? Slow innovation, slow improvements in quality of life, large percentage of the population in poverty. What were the results of capitalism and the use of fossil fuels? Billions of people lifted out of poverty world wide, humans incentivized to innovate and celebrate intellect over raw power. Is it perfect? No. Find me a system that is. It sure as hell isn’t socialism or communism. Not yet. We are limited by the technology of our time, but ultimately capitalism will propel us to an age of technology and creativity that transcends the current system. That is, if the warmongers in government that abuse their power and steal our buying power don’t kill us first. The issue isn’t capitalism, it’s people, and capitalism is the best we currently have to try and steer those people in the right direction. Technology is our only constraint, and the answer to the problem that constraint presents is not to embrace a system that gives our crooked government even more power. What do you think the likes of Trump or Pelosi would do with that power? Usher in an age of utopia? Please, go outside.
Read Axel Kaiser The street economist. It will change your world. I warn you after you read that book your politics are going to change.
We had feudalism (with a monarch being at the top of land ownership). It was the best solution for its time, now imagine if all the people then thought we shouldn’t try other systems. We’d still be peasants.
There were many imaginative inventions before capitalism. What fueled the era we have today was industrialization… using machines to do work. Capitalism thrived just fine when its biggest invention was using slaves to do work.
@@kowboy702 Read the book. I wish I read that book when i was young. Your neurons are being wasted going against capitalism. You will be thankful afterwards. It is as if you get out of the matrix.
Fine then, forget about flying, commuting with anything other than a horse or a camel, using any electric device, etc.. and feel good about not having oil.
interesting, a weird fresh view of Elon.
Props for taking on this tough topic. You and your team did a great job!

The last part of the video sums up all of it very well........
silly attempt to justify why he is the way he is buddy dont over think it

I absolutely do not agree with the thumbnail in anyway imaginable let me clarify that before watching this video (To my self ofc). This is perhaps the only time when ads have given me time.
But was EV adoption such a good idea since the US didn't have sufficient infrastructure to charge them.
I think that most of the hate around Elon is rooted on the concept of merit, which is such an overrated thing.
how did elon look older back then.

Fantastic neutral take on Elon, thanks!
Thumbnail depicts the video perfectly, unsure of what is or isn't.
An update to this now, post the 2024 US Election would be interesting...
10:05 Bro that's bad analysis. It is not a contradiction. Elon is right. The Earth can handle 10x more population with ease. The issue of carbon emissions has nothing to do with population. It definitely has to do with us relying on non-renewables. That problem is what Elon is solving. Also, the reason he is insisting on having more kids is because the TFR is falling down drastically all over the World for most communities except Muslims. We'll eventually end up with Sharia Law in the West and in places like India if we don't get our act together. You want to live under Democracy or Sharia Law?
Elon Musk is just another Guru, self proclaimed genius. We love this success stories and capitalism make us believe in that. The garage entrepreneur, the self made billionaire changing the world….. We can’t see the world is only changing to stay as it is, same people on top, most of us at the bottom. Nothing is going to change with the EV’s . Most of the emissions don’t come from cars and even with that, most of the countries don’t have the infrastructure to adopt EVs as a viable solution. We idolize Musk because we want to be seen in a Cybertruck, or maybe we think that go to Mars is progress for the humanity…. America has seen too many Marvel movies. Most of Elon musk companies will be in bankruptcy in less than 5 years and we’ll be talking about the next big genius.
If you didn't exclaim "I've got boxes full of Elon!" at any point during the making of this video, I will be very disappointed.
