Risk taking is not the main thing. Being right and making it happen are the main things. Making it happen sometimes means taking a necessary well reasoned risk.
But “making it happen” isn’t a guarantee. It costs tons of time and money and effort to make it happen, and if you can’t get the right people together in the right environment to make it happen, it’s a massive loss. You can say it’s not risk, it’s just a skill issue, but no one knows how much skill it will take. Look at FSD that was supposed to be solved 5 years ago. The rest of the company has become so profitable that they’ve bought a lot more time to solve the problem, but it was definitely a risk, and you could easily argue it wasn’t a well reasoned risk. It seems like it will still pay off, but at the beginning it wasn’t well reasoned because it’s taking astronomically more effort than they imagined.
@ Hello Tim. I agree with everything you have said. One of the (possible the one and only) most impressive things about Elon is that he works the issue to the point where he is as sure as he can be that the next step is necessary, evaluates the risks of that step, then accepts the risk and makes the decision to proceed. If he did not do all of these things competently many of those risks taken would defeat his goals and possibly ruin him financially. It is very easy to take a risk, but chronically doing so and so frequently surviving them is almost impossible. You're right, FSD is a great example of a risk taken having had much higher costs than originally expected. There are many others. Three at SpaceX are vertical tanks, no flame trench and ceramic heat shield tiles.
A strange thing happens when you support Elon by buying stock in Tesla. Your stock doubles, then tripples. Keep supporting him and who knows what it will eventually be worth. Weird, huh?
Having people throw more money at you than what you're doing is worth also helps. In blunt terms, it's not too difficult to risk billions of Dollars that people have given you.

It's all about control. Gov't hasn't been about the people for more than 60 years, probably more than 100 years really. The foundations for what we have today were a long long time ago. Name a country, and it's the same equation.

its not about risk, so much as understanding the problem to break it down in a way that manages risk. But with elon its not just self confidence, but commitment to do the work.
No it is not. It is a commitment to drive highly skilled others to do the work and breaking them if they don't. Just as Steve Jobs had no great skills other than being a brutal slavedriver. The other Steve W. is the skillful one.
He has without doubt achieved some amazing things. The issue I have with the political agenda in recent years is an old one. 'Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.' "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
He wants to reduce government waste……..clearly every American can get behind that………..don’t always extend the thought that he wants something out of it personaly……….he wanted to save the planet against CO2 emissions and he had all the oil companies, car companies, unions and most importantly the Democratic party against him………and despite that he succeeded…….every liberal who truly wants to save our planet from harmful emissions is completely hypocritical for hating on the one man who is trying to save the planet……
President Elon! Prime Minister Netanyahu said during a discussion with Mr Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter. “You can’t be president of the US last time I checked, but assume you are.” The tech billionaire, who is currently the world’s richest person, interjected: “Not officially.”
Great show that names key aspects of Elon's movements as an entrepreneur and CEO that identifies his hands on, fully present approach. Also his participation that is fully intimate with issues that he dedicates himself to fix. Love the video. Really worthwhile.
I wish everyone will, even if by a small effort, start/own/buy a business and run it for some time. When I listen to people deminish his accomplishment, it just baffles me. I stopped complaining about how much I was getting paid when I understood the pressure a business owner goes through on a regular. If you're upset that they make 5x, 10x, 50x than you, I dare you to start your own and command that amount. Maybe its the capitalist in me, but I have learned to appreciate those that risk it all, because God knows, I'm chicken shit to even try.
My older brother doesn't like Elon Musk, but he's a lefty (Left Brain Dominant, and an Airbus A380 Airline Captain/Pilot for Emirates Airlines) and I'm a righty (Right Brain Dominant) When Trump was running for President the first time around My Brother, Father and I were in the car together and My Brother started arguing with me when I told him that Trump was going to win the election, he thought I was crazy.

Did it not occur to those of you who admire Trump's sticking his head above the Security Service officers' protective barriers, that in doing so he was offering the shooter another chance to a more accurately aimed shot?

What distinguishes narcissists is their sensitivity to the rewards that sometimes accompany risk-taking. Narcissists perceive greater benefits derived from risky behaviors and this in part fuels their tendency to engage in risk-taking behavior.
Last company I worked for before I retired was the best 8 years of my career (mechanical engineer). The founder engineer was still the CEO and was very involved, but the last two years it really went downhill because he wanted to step back and retire and they hired a marketing type CEO who had no clue what the company did technically.

Oh! The DC "consensus" mentality that reducing size and waste of government is a deadender is absolutely infuriating. DOGE must be as tough as Tom Homan. Time to get VERY REAL.
If someone has absolutely no knowledge of governance or the practicalities of running a very large country how can they possibly re-organise fiscal policies? On the other hand if they are hell-bent on getting much more money for themselves out of randomly cutting government spending to further their own interests why not ensure they can dupe a ignorant president-elect into backing them? It is just so easy.
@sebbosebbo9794 once these cell phone leaves the production line data collecting starts right there and the collecting follows when the consumer yes you and I purchase it. X is spying X marks the spot
The positive thing that could come out of DOGE, is that much of the administration has put off with upgrading its systems with current technologies, the negative of Elon being in charge, is that he can stream line the new system for corporate gain.
yes and no. The probability of creating a gain for him and just for him is slim. But the probability that he will create gain for him and for new comers instead of dinosaurs is high. The dinosaurs were doing the exact opposite of what Elon will be doing - preserving status quo. So there might be a 5 year period where Chinese are stopped by Trump and there's no inner competition in scale, but after 5 years it should be pretty much new America, and that is the whole point. Normally war would do it.
I imagine that as long as he provides only advantageous positives for "Doge" folk then any advantage he gains for himself as a result still makes his contribution valuable for the others involved. A bit like a kid who takes advantage of a hot day and the thirst it creates for people. He sets up a lemonade stand and expects hot and thirsty people to give him money in exchange for a desirable and refreshing drink.
He is a shrewd entrepreneur and businessman. He gathered the brightest minds in America and gave them incentives to work hard. The fact that any employee regardless of position can talk directly to him about any issues says everything about his business model. The companies he created are remarkable and will change the world as we know it. The outcome is unknown though, I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to colonize a desolate unlivable dead planet. It seems saving our beautiful Earth should be top priority. As if nuclear weapons, wars, greed, etc can’t be transported to Mars. When will Earth be uninhabitable as Mars? At that point we are going to move from one uninhabitable planet to another uninhabitable planet?
@@Ssshortman I doubt if people waste mental energy on hating him, but they might feel passionately about preventing him from destroying so much of humanity and life. Together that is, with hero-worshipping acolytes who can't see past an (ill-gotten) accumulation of wealth.
Elon get stuff done. A lot of people want to say oh he just took credit for other people’s work and I don’t believe that. But I don’t understand why he posts stuff that is obviously untrue if anybody takes five seconds to go check it. The richest person in the world should not say his platform is all about truth if he’s gonna f--with the truth all the time. Most people do not check on the stuff that he posts and they just swallow it hook line and sinker. He is obviously smart enough to realize this so the question is what is the point of putting so much BS out? I value the truth as much as I value competence. Others do not, in way larger numbers than I would have expected.
Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
You do know that almost 2 million of autodrive Teslas have been recalled because they are unsafe, and that one person was killed in an 8 car pile up in a tunnel due to that inability to drive safely, don't you? Musk is now asking that the law i.e., mandatory reporting of autodrive accidents be scrapped to save his sales -- which would also jeopardise the building in China of his battery factory that he is begging the Communist government for permission to build.
The irony lies in this: The collective, with their labor, time, and energy, can withdraw it all in the mere breath of a moment-a whisper in the wind. And just like that, all the so-called 'unstoppable' forces crumble, for true power lies not in one man's reach, but in the unshakable will of those who choose where their energy flows.
What a great complication, a really enjoyable watch, and a much needed antidote to his political antics that has made supporting him extremely difficult for the last year or so.
Gore broke the glass, yet it didn't shatter. Worth $600? Eh, not a useful thing really for the cash, but I'm sure the idea that it broke rather than shattering was considered on the show. I mean, if it shattered, people would be getting glass splinters for months after that on set. So it did what it was supposed to do. This was a bait and switch concept. It's important to have great understanding of things.
The question to Marc Andreessen of, why do other CEO's not get involved at that level of detail as Elon does? Its all to do with personal risk or reputational risk. They need to be able to manage risk as that is more important to them than to fix problems. Not getting that close means you can deny being accountable. Also one of the reasons many of them allow Executive Layering.
Hey Elon, how come you say that all these fancy college degrees are not all that matters but if someone with many years direct experience and solid references applies for a Manufacturing, Test or Quality Engineer position at Tesla or Space X the Resume never gets past H.R. to the hiring managers???
Alex Honnold the rock climber seems very similar to Elon, with their relationship with fear. They might be on the spectrum, very high functioning of course, and that might help them minimize fear and let them get on with their high ambitions unobstructed as compared to many other people. Alex 3000' up on a sheer cliff without a rope smiling having a good time. Elon doing what he says while others do not and just talk.

I have had several Tesla shares and a Cybertruck on order. It would be great to get more shares but that's still work in progress. It would also be great if people were not trying to steal my existing shares. Due to the fact that covid caused inflation and caused most purchases to double over the past few years. It looks like the Cybertruck has close to doubled as well since I ordered it back then. I will have to come up with some creative financing! Hopefully I can come up with a good plan to put it in the driveway by this year.
Elon “removes the bottleneck” , the thing that holds the thing back. Communication is how he maintains quality professionals. The best manager comes from the field. Now, the most important problem is the burdensome government and it’s unfriendliness towards innovation. So, Elon is addressing that problem and has relegated the task to himself and Vivek for 18 months. They’re already onto it and it will happen within that 18 months. Like Elon, and millions of Americans, I voted Democrat. I hopped the fence like them and still hold the same values I always have 🇺🇸 Elon comes from love, passion and integrity seldom seen today. He is genuine and is judged by people who have no experience with authenticity. Keep on being yourself and no one can question you. Change for no one.
As brilliant and successful as Elon is there's one thing that he doesn't seem to understand is that human nature will always self destruct. Regardless of whether you drive an electric car or send a rocket full of humans to Mars.
Thanks for putting this together. It's worth saving to rewatch.

I'm sure that DEI requirements that he hire less qualified people over better qualified people based on their skin color or gender really annoy him. He will be trying to get rid of racial and gender preferences like affirmative action.
I hope RUclips pays you a lot, Farzad. They ran commercials on your video as thick as mosquitos on a Minnesota summer's night.
Farzad opted for serving maximum commercials.
This is awesome Farzad, have a prosperous 2025!
its not about risk, so much as understanding the problem to break it down in a way that manages risk. But with elon its not just self confidence, but commitment to do the work.
No it is not. It is a commitment to drive highly skilled others to do the work and breaking them if they don't. Just as Steve Jobs had no great skills other than being a brutal slavedriver. The other Steve W. is the skillful one.
He has without doubt achieved some amazing things. The issue I have with the political agenda in recent years is an old one.
'Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.'
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
He wants to reduce government waste……..clearly every American can get behind that………..don’t always extend the thought that he wants something out of it personaly……….he wanted to save the planet against CO2 emissions and he had all the oil companies, car companies, unions and most importantly the Democratic party against him………and despite that he succeeded…….every liberal who truly wants to save our planet from harmful emissions is completely hypocritical for hating on the one man who is trying to save the planet……
Thanks very much for this video Farzad ❤😊👌👍
Elon wants to get us to Mars and beyond.
Everything else is noise.
Dude is legendary.
President Elon! Prime Minister Netanyahu said during a discussion with Mr Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“You can’t be president of the US last time I checked, but assume you are.”
The tech billionaire, who is currently the world’s richest person, interjected: “Not officially.”
Great show that names key aspects of Elon's movements as an entrepreneur and CEO that identifies his hands on, fully present approach. Also his participation that is fully intimate with issues that he dedicates himself to fix. Love the video. Really worthwhile.
Great stuff Farzad. This really helps people absorb the importance of this discussion.
This is great work farad
Great video Farzad ! 🔥
I wish everyone will, even if by a small effort, start/own/buy a business and run it for some time. When I listen to people deminish his accomplishment, it just baffles me. I stopped complaining about how much I was getting paid when I understood the pressure a business owner goes through on a regular. If you're upset that they make 5x, 10x, 50x than you, I dare you to start your own and command that amount. Maybe its the capitalist in me, but I have learned to appreciate those that risk it all, because God knows, I'm chicken shit to even try.
Awesine cinoukatuib brother...keep them coming. Thanks.
Absolutely great video.
My older brother doesn't like Elon Musk, but he's a lefty (Left Brain Dominant, and an Airbus A380 Airline Captain/Pilot for Emirates Airlines) and I'm a righty (Right Brain Dominant) When Trump was running for President the first time around My Brother, Father and I were in the car together and My Brother started arguing with me when I told him that Trump was going to win the election, he thought I was crazy.
My answer here now is Right Brained Dominant people have skills too not just Lefty's, I'm also ADHD. ;-)
I don't see the relevance of your point
@@kellylilypond Me too, is this an Elon fanboy video ?
The Tesla car is a no bullshit vehicle that does more than I could’ve ever expected. I bet most people that are use to legacy autos would agree
"No bullshit vehicle"?
Waiting hours for your car to charge isn't bullshit? 😵💫
@@mr.c1580I don’t have to wait hours unless I want to. I could go to the Tesla supercharger in town any day anytime and it won’t be longer than 30 minutes or I can plug it in when I sleep and it’ll be charged when I wake up actually way before then. Then it drives me across town by itself and if I want to drive it is more exciting t(an any car I’ve ever had. To top it off I went off the edge of the road one day and it corrected the steering and put me back on the road before I was even able to. Anything else you want to know about because that’s not even a start to the list. I think if you’ve driven one daily you probably would agree.
Risks. Like Trump takes. Fight, fight, fight.
Did it not occur to those of you who admire Trump's sticking his head above the Security Service officers' protective barriers, that in doing so he was offering the shooter another chance to a more accurately aimed shot? It was more of the usual thoughtless idiocy that Trump emits every time he opens his mouth.
Yes..yes….that’s what you have to do at any age or situation…fight..fight…fight…..life is sweet.

Says it all, doesn't it? Monstrous ego! But it's doubtful that two alpha males can co-exist on the same stage for very long without one destroying the other. Just wait and see how long that takes. Should be fascinating to watch.
Good video. Idk how you are able to make this much content
This video is truly extraordinary! Andreesen lays it out as fast as he can.
This is your best work Thank you!,Thank youELON!,🐴
What distinguishes narcissists is their sensitivity to the rewards that sometimes accompany risk-taking. Narcissists perceive greater benefits derived from risky behaviors and this in part fuels their tendency to engage in risk-taking behavior.
Last company I worked for before I retired was the best 8 years of my career (mechanical engineer). The founder engineer was still the CEO and was very involved, but the last two years it really went downhill because he wanted to step back and retire and they hired a marketing type CEO who had no clue what the company did technically. Stock price is now 1/3rd what it was and I am not sure they are viable anymore.
@@rarelycares8416 many such cases, if you went back and saw what they’re teaching kids at University you’d understand why these people are so incompetent
Everything Musk does os highly calculated...he acts like risk taker, he's a disruptor...... interview any successful disruptor like Cathy Wood.. she gets Musk..
Cathy Wood… lolol…Right.

No. Dun want to see idolizing bloating egos. Nor encourage them to bloat bigger.
Epic, you’re a good man for making this.
$200 billion ? This must be a week old cuz latest estimates are like $430 billion. Lol
Great video ... thanks for great content!

Love this, but **** TWO ADS **** every **** THREE MINUTES ****? Really?

Oh! The DC "consensus" mentality that reducing size and waste of government is a deadender is absolutely infuriating.
DOGE must be as tough as Tom Homan. Time to get VERY REAL.
If someone has absolutely no knowledge of governance or the practicalities of running a very large country how can they possibly re-organise fiscal policies? On the other hand if they are hell-bent on getting much more money for themselves out of randomly cutting government spending to further their own interests why not ensure they can dupe a ignorant president-elect into backing them? It is just so easy.
Of course the so called establishment would claim that 😂. I think much has changed and soon we’ll see 👍
X is not only a good place for discussion but also a good place to train an LLM.
How so
@@Atjayvang21 Data...🙄
@sebbosebbo9794 once these cell phone leaves the production line data collecting starts right there and the collecting follows when the consumer yes you and I purchase it. X is spying X marks the spot
The positive thing that could come out of DOGE, is that much of the administration has put off with upgrading its systems with current technologies, the negative of Elon being in charge, is that he can stream line the new system for corporate gain.
yes and no. The probability of creating a gain for him and just for him is slim. But the probability that he will create gain for him and for new comers instead of dinosaurs is high. The dinosaurs were doing the exact opposite of what Elon will be doing - preserving status quo. So there might be a 5 year period where Chinese are stopped by Trump and there's no inner competition in scale, but after 5 years it should be pretty much new America, and that is the whole point. Normally war would do it.
I imagine that as long as he provides only advantageous positives for "Doge" folk then any advantage he gains for himself as a result still makes his contribution valuable for the others involved.
A bit like a kid who takes advantage of a hot day and the thirst it creates for people. He sets up a lemonade stand and expects hot and thirsty people to give him money in exchange for a desirable and refreshing drink.
He is a shrewd entrepreneur and businessman. He gathered the brightest minds in America and gave them incentives to work hard. The fact that any employee regardless of position can talk directly to him about any issues says everything about his business model. The companies he created are remarkable and will change the world as we know it. The outcome is unknown though, I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to colonize a desolate unlivable dead planet. It seems saving our beautiful Earth should be top priority. As if nuclear weapons, wars, greed, etc can’t be transported to Mars. When will Earth be uninhabitable as Mars? At that point we are going to move from one uninhabitable planet to another uninhabitable planet?
@@calidreams5379 why don’t he already leave for mars, would make the world a better place.
@@1001BalanceElon will work to make your life better and help humanity no matter how much you hate him.
@@Ssshortman I doubt if people waste mental energy on hating him, but they might feel passionately about preventing him from destroying so much of humanity and life. Together that is, with hero-worshipping acolytes who can't see past an (ill-gotten) accumulation of wealth.
i enjoyed watching that video. thanks
Elon get stuff done. A lot of people want to say oh he just took credit for other people’s work and I don’t believe that. But I don’t understand why he posts stuff that is obviously untrue if anybody takes five seconds to go check it. The richest person in the world should not say his platform is all about truth if he’s gonna f--with the truth all the time. Most people do not check on the stuff that he posts and they just swallow it hook line and sinker. He is obviously smart enough to realize this so the question is what is the point of putting so much BS out? I value the truth as much as I value competence. Others do not, in way larger numbers than I would have expected.
Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Loud and clear.
Musk did not start Tesla! He just identifies as the founder. His pronouns are , "If you don't say I'm the founder, I will sue you."
Really, wow.
Ok. I’ll subscribe.❤
Enough of the sweet video clips of corporate people looking at decks and smiling! I’d like to see the people talking!
Mee too.
Elon’s Self driving and Optimus robots are big leaps forward for humanity. Hopefully the haters won’t get their way.
You do know that almost 2 million of autodrive Teslas have been recalled because they are unsafe, and that one person was killed in an 8 car pile up in a tunnel due to that inability to drive safely, don't you? Musk is now asking that the law i.e., mandatory reporting of autodrive accidents be scrapped to save his sales -- which would also jeopardise the building in China of his battery factory that he is begging the Communist government for permission to build.
On Christmas, I went to the Gold Coast on Christmas day. I went to the home manager of Woolworths and three of Tesla's latest EVs
🤗Cheers, Ian Cleland
Extraordinary man and story. It’s such a superhuman story about a man on a mission…God Bless You Elon.🙏🙏🙏
Prez Musk's hair plugs turned out way better than VP trump"s.
Awesome video-
We don't care about the establishment view...on ANYTHING!
A masters class in how to run the best company in the world.
The irony lies in this: The collective, with their labor, time, and energy, can withdraw it all in the mere breath of a moment-a whisper in the wind. And just like that, all the so-called 'unstoppable' forces crumble, for true power lies not in one man's reach, but in the unshakable will of those who choose where their energy flows.
What a great complication, a really enjoyable watch, and a much needed antidote to his political antics that has made supporting him extremely difficult for the last year or so.
Gore broke the glass, yet it didn't shatter. Worth $600? Eh, not a useful thing really for the cash, but I'm sure the idea that it broke rather than shattering was considered on the show. I mean, if it shattered, people would be getting glass splinters for months after that on set. So it did what it was supposed to do. This was a bait and switch concept. It's important to have great understanding of things.
Wtf are you talking about? It broke
The question to Marc Andreessen of, why do other CEO's not get involved at that level of detail as Elon does? Its all to do with personal risk or reputational risk. They need to be able to manage risk as that is more important to them than to fix problems. Not getting that close means you can deny being accountable. Also one of the reasons many of them allow Executive Layering.
The risk attracts me, I want to bet big and it drives me to work harder. When people say it can't be done, again I am driven harder. Bring it on.
Hey Elon, how come you say that all these fancy college degrees are not all that matters but if someone with many years direct experience and solid references applies for a Manufacturing, Test or Quality Engineer position at Tesla or Space X the Resume never gets past H.R. to the hiring managers???
Thank you
Alex Honnold the rock climber seems very similar to Elon, with their relationship with fear.
They might be on the spectrum, very high functioning of course, and that might help them minimize fear and let them get on with their high ambitions unobstructed as compared to many other people. Alex 3000' up on a sheer cliff without a rope smiling having a good time. Elon doing what he says while others do not and just talk.
Thanks farzad I think Peter looks like he’s stressed. More so than ever
What is up with the nonstop Story Blocks bullshit? I had to check part way through to see if this was actually the Farzad channel. If it's not a chart or a clip of the thing being discussed, just DON'T. We don't need any more clips of people crowded around a display pointing at things, or clips a someone counting 100 dollar bills because some said "millions of dollars", or some old guy in a suit talking to an interviewer because someone said CEO. Just STOP IT.
Oh hell yeah preach it brother
Did Peirs say that Trump had thick skin? Are we talking about Donald J. Trump? Has he met Him?
@@pm375 Yeah they met several times
People still don’t get it. 94% are eligible for telework. This does not mean not working. Just means supervisors can let them from from home for a couple of days a week. We get an out 50% more done at home.
Elon runs all these businesses and most of us can’t even remember the names of all his companies.
Imagine the personal growth potential, (for every person involved) "... being dropped into a shocking zone of competence." How do I create that at my job ???
I have had several Tesla shares and a Cybertruck on order. It would be great to get more shares but that's still work in progress. It would also be great if people were not trying to steal my existing shares. Due to the fact that covid caused inflation and caused most purchases to double over the past few years. It looks like the Cybertruck has close to doubled as well since I ordered it back then. I will have to come up with some creative financing! Hopefully I can come up with a good plan to put it in the driveway by this year.
90 % fed staff reduction will not impact on quality of their services at all
Elon “removes the bottleneck” , the thing that holds the thing back.
Communication is how he maintains quality professionals. The best manager comes from the field. Now, the most important problem is the burdensome government and it’s unfriendliness towards innovation. So, Elon is addressing that problem and has relegated the task to himself and Vivek for 18 months. They’re already onto it and it will happen within that 18 months. Like Elon, and millions of Americans, I voted Democrat. I hopped the fence like them and still hold the same values I always have 🇺🇸
Elon comes from love, passion and integrity seldom seen today. He is genuine and is judged by people who have no experience with authenticity. Keep on being yourself and no one can question you. Change for no one.
May the Peace be w/us!😁🤠👍
Its not that elon knows something aboutnrisk which we dont he just hyper focuses on something humanity is missing out on.
He learned to lean in to ferocious aggression once the goal and the plan is clear
Putting music over this interview has ruined it for me
0:32 / 41:27 so RUclips is actually doing an ad of 41:27 minutes.
I think Ukraine is showing that cheap drones are beating the big money spent on tanks and anti tank munitions that are spendy
Plus Thiel and Musk AI.
Yea
Brutally honest? No. Those two guys have exhibited tremendous respect for eath other. Clearly Morgan is an agitator. He failed here.
As brilliant and successful as Elon is there's one thing that he doesn't seem to understand is that human nature will always self destruct. Regardless of whether you drive an electric car or send a rocket full of humans to Mars.
min 21:16 - You have to be a genius in any area!, what else?!?!?
Elon is not afraid to fail, that's what her understands about risk.
Is there a logo on the cybertruck?
This Peter guy looks and sounds ill! Hope he's okay.
