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.

@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.
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.
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.
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'd suggest all people take that same advice and apply it to life brother. People are too outspoken about things they don't really know much about, and it degrades our society and the way we communicate.
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.
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.
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.
HEY KAYA IS NICE TO SEE YOUR VIDEOS AGAIN!!🙂👍;AND SOMETHING ELSE,I DON'T THINK "ELON" HAS AUTISM DISORDER AT ALL,BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE IN HIM,DIFFERENT THAN ANY HUMAN!!🤔🤔;THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!🙂👍
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.
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.
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.
No the video didn't change my mind one bit about Elon Musk. I used to think he was a genius but now I know he's not as smart as he makes people think. The Twitter debacle has really exposed his real persona. Elon Musk suffers from Asperger's syndrome and this should give you a clue to why he accomplishes so much. Many Asperger sufferers have a high affinity for sci fi and tech ideas (Bill Gates easily comes to mind) and they have an abnormal tenacity to keep doing something until they succeed. That's what he means by you don't want to be me. He can't stop himself when he has something to do, it's like an OCD. Elon basically dreams up an idea, then he employs real smart people to build them. His condition makes him lack any empathy so he works and pushes his employees almost to breaking point until they deliver the results he wants. That's how he achieve more than others. A normal boss would not be willing to push/bully an employee to these crazy levels but in demon mode, he doesn't care. Then the world sees the results, they give Elon the credit thinking he's a such a genius but no, he's just a rich asshole who can hire real geniuses and push them to their breaking point for his own benefit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The problem with learning from elon musk is many of his early "lessons" were entirely born from the fact that he was around and breathing between the years 1995 and 2001. The Dot Com Boom made it possible for literally anything to make some money with by soliciting investment capital and buy outs, it was possible because the space wasn't mature or developed yet. For instance, today you can't get cheap rates from setting up shop near a local ISP because those little small business ISPs simply arent around anymore dialup is dead. Musk's moneymaking early on came from a combination of simply being around and lucky, he was bought out multiple times simply because other businesses in the same space wanted to gobble up marketshare. Today the investment and business landscape is nothing like what it was, starting an "AI app" equivalent might not get the buy out offer or IPO you'd need to get rich. Also in general, I think Musk even if he wasn't particularly bright back then (he was fired as CEO of Paypal after all) - he WAS smarter back than he is now.
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.
You start with, "This isn't a nepo company." There old man gave them $28000.00 grand. That's nepo AF. This is incredibly badly researched. Did you just read the wikipage?
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..
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?
While your criticism about Musk is justified, we should consider that many people in his position with his status, wealth, power, and influence would probably abuse their status and fame. Now we don't know what Elon Musk may do 5min from now, let alone 5 years from now - but we should give him some credit for being himself, despite the scrutiny of the media, and he doesn't appear to be abusing what he has - yet. We'll see if his companies will continue to be clean, without any fraudulent practices like enron for example.
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.
You just come off as a bit jealous really it's weird, I'm also not sure what the point of this video is.. your liberal and you don't like his politics? I mean if that's the case just say so.. 😂
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

@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.
Thumbnail successful. I fell into this nothing-burger of clickbait.
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.

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.

The last part of the video sums up all of it very well........
interesting, a weird fresh view of Elon.
nice thumbnail !!
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'd suggest all people take that same advice and apply it to life brother. People are too outspoken about things they don't really know much about, and it degrades our society and the way we communicate.
@@JMo-nl5dc take your own advice then 😂
A perfect summary of what matters in Elon's biography.
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.
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.
What's the problem with him publicly standing up for what he believes in? Is that not honorable? How's he a bully?
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.
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?
Very nuanced take, we need more of this type of content in the world. Bravo!
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 is god mode

Fantastic neutral take on Elon, thanks!
Founders need better role models. As a society we MUST do better.
Young Man: To equate making lots of money as a sure sign of a successful human being is simplistic, I believe. jimmy
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.
The title is funny.
Musk... Has always been better at things where he can go deep on a subject.
His starting point is often shallow.
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.
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.
Love your videos. You are a genius!!!
But was EV adoption such a good idea since the US didn't have sufficient infrastructure to charge them.
No the video didn't change my mind one bit about Elon Musk. I used to think he was a genius but now I know he's not as smart as he makes people think. The Twitter debacle has really exposed his real persona. Elon Musk suffers from Asperger's syndrome and this should give you a clue to why he accomplishes so much. Many Asperger sufferers have a high affinity for sci fi and tech ideas (Bill Gates easily comes to mind) and they have an abnormal tenacity to keep doing something until they succeed. That's what he means by you don't want to be me. He can't stop himself when he has something to do, it's like an OCD. Elon basically dreams up an idea, then he employs real smart people to build them. His condition makes him lack any empathy so he works and pushes his employees almost to breaking point until they deliver the results he wants. That's how he achieve more than others. A normal boss would not be willing to push/bully an employee to these crazy levels but in demon mode, he doesn't care. Then the world sees the results, they give Elon the credit thinking he's a such a genius but no, he's just a rich asshole who can hire real geniuses and push them to their breaking point for his own benefit.
Unfortunately there’s gonna be diehard Elon Musk sheep in these comments
Tough childhood Elon makes me laugh
His father took a small step for mankind. 😌
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.
What worries me is the army of racists he's gathering for lord knows what. That can't be ignored
Props for taking on this tough topic. You and your team did a great job!
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.
Caya, felictaciones por ese Thumb. Finalmente lograste que deje de seguir a slidebean.
Bro tf thumbnail?
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.
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.
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.
Thumbnail game on point!
how did elon look older back then.
Nice watch, is it a Hamilton Khaki?
(Almost) Bingo.

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.
The problem with learning from elon musk is many of his early "lessons" were entirely born from the fact that he was around and breathing between the years 1995 and 2001. The Dot Com Boom made it possible for literally anything to make some money with by soliciting investment capital and buy outs, it was possible because the space wasn't mature or developed yet. For instance, today you can't get cheap rates from setting up shop near a local ISP because those little small business ISPs simply arent around anymore dialup is dead. Musk's moneymaking early on came from a combination of simply being around and lucky, he was bought out multiple times simply because other businesses in the same space wanted to gobble up marketshare. Today the investment and business landscape is nothing like what it was, starting an "AI app" equivalent might not get the buy out offer or IPO you'd need to get rich. Also in general, I think Musk even if he wasn't particularly bright back then (he was fired as CEO of Paypal after all) - he WAS smarter back than he is now.
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.
The guy removed the 2006 text about climate on Tesla after cozying up Trump, he should at the very least not get any more grants or subsidies.
You start with, "This isn't a nepo company." There old man gave them $28000.00 grand. That's nepo AF. This is incredibly badly researched. Did you just read the wikipage?
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..
Animals have only one goal in life, to breed, humans are still animals.
Elon Musk: love him or hate him, you can't deny he's like a real-life Tony Stark!
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?
13:10 you know that is BS dude. It was totally arbitrary in the previous Twitter. Have you not read the Twitter files? Come on!

He’s right bout ketamine though it helps loads of people he’s trying to be a good person I think

Holy shit this thumbnail is blessedly off the rails
I think that most of the hate around Elon is rooted on the concept of merit, which is such an overrated thing.
I respect your opinion.
While your criticism about Musk is justified, we should consider that many people in his position with his status, wealth, power, and influence would probably abuse their status and fame. Now we don't know what Elon Musk may do 5min from now, let alone 5 years from now - but we should give him some credit for being himself, despite the scrutiny of the media, and he doesn't appear to be abusing what he has - yet. We'll see if his companies will continue to be clean, without any fraudulent practices like enron for example.
Did he just really say there isn’t a system better than capitalism? I’d like to introduce you to a channel called second throught

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
