I dislike that at the beginning of the video you suggest there will be interviews with former employees and even show a 5 sec clip of one. Yet, for there are none throughout the remainder of the video. I watched this whole 40 min ordeal just to not even see that part that had me interested in the first place. After scanning your references, they don't appear to be in there either. So idk why even bring them up in the video if you don't actually reference them or showcase them in any part of the video.
I thought it was 2 guys who started tesla, engineered the Electric batteries and designed the car. Elon Musk took the company public, then pushed them out.
His daughter is transgender. That’s the missing piece in the story. He said it’s a major reason he bought Twitter, because he thinks she was brainwashed to be trans by her California University. It’s personal.
He's going for 'control'. Simplifying it to trans is way too simple. He's not going to tell you the real reason, he's an expert at marketing. Narcissistic megalomaniac, with plans for media communications and designing his version of the world that is way off the scale of 2024 paradigms, and completely self interested.
@@bardsamok9221 accurate. Although, it’s pretty obvious from his recent talk with Jordan Peterdong that him being a dead beat dad to his trans daughter was a huge part of the motivation. He’s coping sooooo hard about her changing her last name and saying she never wants to see him again.
@@XXchromosome24 Disowning your daughter might be wrong, but this Trans stuff and it's effect shows. People love pleasure, and would wish to go to any extent to give themselves pleasure. And when you criticise them (without being hateful) for being boundary-less, they label you with somethingphobic. Never will they think if their wants are wrongful.
I wonder why he never mentioned the failed hyperloop, instead he’s distracted by being the last person to figure out the boring company joke. P.s. it’s just another tunnel boring company, he didn’t innovate shit.
@@JordanAF808 Yes, also the claim that Musk invents "unprecedented" feats of engineering when he's really not, just trying to improve existing ones: making rockets cheaper, make electric cars more popular etc... Some details in this video are downright false like Musk allegedly trying to buy the Soviet ICBMs in order to "rebuild" them when the plan was to just shoot one to Mars with a camera and a flower pot and claim "life on Mars" as a marketing stunt - no rebuilding was planned. Very superficial and poorly researched video unfortunately.
Interesting reading the intense heat in the comment section (wow lots of angry people) with Musk fans accusing this video of being biased against Musk while others accusing the video of being way too favourable. The video was definitely balanced which is why I guess it is drawing such heat from both quarters. I guess in defence of people accusing the content creator of leaving stuff out, the stuff you want included would make the video a lot longer. In my view he covered enough to show that Musk is a very clever but very strange individual who has a dangeous nasty streak in him and so his control of Twitter is very worrying. I am afraid I am not a Musk fan especially after the roll he helped play in stoking the UK riots and his support of Trump.
Yeah. The Elon cult is deranged. Johnny was way nicer than most critics, acknowledging that Musk is brilliant, does a lot of technical work, and isn’t a mining heir. The guy is problematic though. A lot of it is just business and idk how much it matters.
I just read through the comments on this video. Some people are supporting Elon despite some of the evidences that he doesn't need their support and doesn't care if they do. Others are against him. The real take-away is that one should never idolize another human being. We all have our virtues and our failings. Elon has his virtues - I think buying Twitter was a virtue since the algorithms are much more favourable to me - so it's a personal opinion. I do NOT idolize him because I don't trust him as I don't trust any wealthy people, nor do I trust any politicians - even the ones I vote for. I watch what these people do and I call them out if they do bad things. Sure, we can debate good and bad, but there are standards that are biblical and there are standards that are moral. Those are the ones I care about. Point being, Elon is a human being with the ability to good and bad like anybody else. He's larger than life because of his wealth, but he is neither good nor evil.
Well said. But personally I don’t agree about X. It’s all pure hateful negativity doesn’t matter which side of the coin you fall on. And if that’s a reflection of his mind it’s terrifying
I’m skeptical of him because the outfit he is wearing in his self portrait on X is from a halloween event. His outfit was known as the devil’s champion. Let that sink in…
well, twitter is how he built the massive followers he has and the MASSIVE influence he has around the world unlike other billionaires. He has enormous wealth, massive influence and big public support from around the world...
Jonny's take on Musk's Twitter is Liberal-slanted, no surprise. Even if Musk censors Liberals, it does not even come close to balancing the tide of censorship that is directed against Conservatives. I've seen it used against myself plenty.
@@filipcsizmar4860That f*cking annoyed me as well. Like, he’s the goddamn person who introduced this supposed myth to the world. How am I’m supposed to trust him now if he’s basically saying “I lied to you back then”. How do I know he‘s not lying to me right now? Besides, the only source we have for the story being fake is Walter Isaacson, who apparently interviewed Errol Musk on the topic, with Errol Musk essentially saying he never “legally” owned a mine (whatever that’s supposed to mean) but also stating that he was very much involved with illegal activity involving emerald trading. I don’t think any of this makes both Musks look any better.
Hey Johnny, you’ll probably never read this comment but I think I know why Elon had his pivot. I’ve been a shareholder way longer than most Tesla stans and have been watching Elon’s progression in real time, before most people had even heard of him. The pivot came because of the pandemic but it was the final straw of 4 events I see as formative to his current world view. There was the jury trial Tesla lost regarding racism and resulted in a gigantic jury award (later overturned). Elon prides himself on being race-agnostic, and as a youth, he was much more willing to be friends with black South Africans than other whites. He was very confident Tesla was going to win the trial, and likely blames the “woke mind virus” for the unjustifiably high award. Then there was his daughter coming out as transgender. There are few details about this but I think it is safe to say Elon did not take this well. They have no relationship with each other and again Elon likely blames woke ideology for this. He keeps saying that he “is a liberal”, but he thinks the political spectrum has moved so far left that it makes him look like a conservative. Then there is his sense of betrayal by the Democratic Party,(which he voted for up until either the 2016 or 2020 election) which has never embraced him despite the fact that he made the electric car happen (along with improving large-scale electrical storage). Because Tesla is not unionized, the Dems cannot get too close to him for fear of alienating their union base. He has been repeatedly shut out or ignored by the Dems on many initiatives, whereas e.g. Mary Barra was given undue credit for innovating in the EV space. Lastly, the pandemic happened, and as someone else here had mentioned, he was angry that the government had the power to shut down his factories. He himself had a different view of the seriousness of the pandemic, and felt that he was being muzzled and censored for his view in the early months and days of the pandemic.
You have described someone who needs approval and is terrified of criticism. Without taking in feedback how can he get the course correction one needs to avoid going over the waterfall or over the cliff?
I think it is hard to take any other criticism seriously if you are in charge of so many lives. At the pinnacle of power you will choose the most trustworthy to be your sole advisors.. Otherwise you will go wrong all the time..
"Not taking well" that his daughter is transgender is already conservative ideology, making all claims he's liberal untrue. He seems to generally reason from first principles and has historically been pretty rational to build Tesla and Space X to where they are, but on societal issues he's clearly dogmatic. If he wasn't, he would know basic facts, like gender affirming care has a wildly positive effect, or that there are physiological differences in the brain of transgender people which align more with their gender than their biological sex. The only explanation I see is he's so conservative he's blinded by his values.
One correction to this above comment " the political spectrum has moved so far left that it makes him look like a conservative." Many studies have show the the political spectrum hasn't moved left at all, but the right has gone much further right. I suspect that due to your reasons above (and others) that he has taken a wild lurch to the right.
I can not stress enough how important twitter is for turkish opposition. Twitter is only social media platform in Turkey that is widely used and you can interact with. It is the organizing place of Gezi Park Protests,it is the place where journalists publish their investigations,it is the place where people who had forced to escape Turkey get their news and share their beliefs and information with Turkey,it is the place that international news enter to Turkey unfiltered. It is vital. It is the radio of 3rd world countries.
@@vincentmatthis I don't think that paper communication could gather several thousand people to occupy the Bosphorus Bridge in the middle of the night because 50 protesters were brutally beaten in a random park in Istanbul, and that just 7 hours after the incident in the morning, it could mobilize one of the country's largest universities in full force and trigger a protest that almost resulted in the seizure of the parliament building.
@@mjouwbuis I hope it stays like this but I don't think so. There are several reasons. First, Musk avoids conflict with Erdogan and shuts down opposition accounts upon request, especially accounts of the Gülen movement and whistleblowers from the more "dark side" of the Turkish State. Second, the bot game is big in Turkey. Each party has its own unofficial but somehow related bots and trolls (this may be an effort of that party or it may be a reaction to Erdoğan from the party's mass, especially its youth branches). But Erdoğan and his party use bots and trolls on a completely different scale. Even if the old Twitter couldn't solve this problem, it at least curbed it. Musk isn't even trying.
I find it very interesting how so many in the comment section are calling this video incredibly biased against Musk, when in my opinion it was far more favorable to him in its tellings of certain events than other sources I've seen, and nowhere near as accusatory. Really goes to show how polarization works. This video paints the picture of a brilliant entrepreneur twisted by assholeness and conflict-seeking, as opposed to a real life tony stark or to a businessman hijacking dreams and manufacturing hype so that he can sell a future only he will benefit from.
he does not have the money to buy youtube. he literally had to borrow 13 billion in other to buy twitter and sell billions in shares. RUclips costs a lot more.
I have an alternative suggestion to using an app that highlights bias reporting within news headlines and articles. Contemplate the efficacy of consuming the news itself, and find that it is pointless outside of specific context and is a harmful general practice.
Very good video. I remember seeing an interview with Musk many years ago where the interviewer joked to Musk that his activities had the grandeur of a Bond villian so the world was lucky he wasn't one. Musk response was odd and I remember at the time thinking wow this man could be really dangerous. Sadly, despite his great intelligence, he also has always had some very odd beliefs. Like many who have studied the sciences, he always swallowed the mistaken idea that anything is possible for humanity hence why he thinks we can colonise the universe. Folk like him need to be reminded of Newton and his fellow alchemists who were convinced they could change a base metal into gold. I honestly think if you had asked Newton which would be easier, to send a man to the moon or alchemy he may very well have answered the latter. The problem with humans is we remember science's successes but quickly forget its failures. I am sceptical we can even get people even to Mars alive once a space craft leaves the protective earth's magnetosphere for any length of time, let alone travel light years to other solar systems that just might have an earth-like planet. As for his latest behaviour, it is at best very eccentric but sadly more likely has quite an evil component to it. Autism cannot really excuse this.
8:08 "Patents were not copyrighted" That's not how patents work. Patents and copyrights are two distinct forms of intellectual property protection, patents can't be copyrighted.
He also didn't "open source" anything as far as i know. Open source means there is an explicit license granting rights to use, modify, and redistribute. Harris didn't show any open source licences or suggest that any existed for Musk-owned products.
@@reed6514 incorrect, open source does not mean what you said, there's 1000 different open source licenses, Apache, MIT, ...that are actually very restrictive. Open source does not automatically grant you the right to modify or redistribute. Why you must know the license terms of the Open Source
I remember digging into the claim that Tesla's patents were open for any company to use and pretty quickly found the catch. I don't recall the details, but it hinged on a total non-starter of an agreement you had to sign onto if you wanted to use their proprietary charging solution. Car companies had other options that didn't involve basically giving Tesla an automatic competitive advantage and went for that instead. Almost universally. The outcome (almost nobody in the market taking such a generous offer back when Superchargers were pretty much the only name in town) should speak volumes as to the value of the deal on offer. Sure, they eventually dropped the requirement and now we have car companies declaring support for NACS charging standard over the next few years, but the idea Harris presented that Musk left the patents wide open and free for everyone is just straight-up propaganda (at the time it happened). It's an incredibly misleading narrative that ignores the massive strings attached. If the patents were genuinely open and available, it would have been a big PR win and a huge move forward for the industry - instead it was just a free PR win at the expense of setting back EV infrastructure development and making sure Tesla remained the only viable option as long as possible.
Y'know, I'm not a fan of orwell quotes because they're too ideologically ambigious. Too easy to shape into a specific belief and use as a reputable basis for a movement. Even when it's not. (doesnt really apply to this situation but whatever)
Lol what? That's the opposite of a conflict of interest, that's insight. Interesting to note there seem to be a lot of bots commenting in favour of Musk though, including one responding to your comment above my reply.
It’s not surprising coming from ex-Vox media. Reminds me of when Vox published a video about TikTok claiming they made $16B profit when the article shown clearly shows revenue.
Twitter was absolutely left leaning prior to Elon. Unfortunately, for that reason, it got a new name and seemingly morphed into a tool for a new purpose.
My friends have starlink and all complain about connection issues with it. It can be a gorgeous day and everyone lags, connection can even cut out. But when the weather is bad, it's better than ever like the internet south of where we live. It's weird honestly, make it make sense
Another fact that wasn't mentioned in this video is that Elon Musk personally admitted how Hyperloop was just a ploy to divert attention and funds away from high speed rail construction in the US, which has ongoing for decades now. He publicly branded Hyperloop as a new revolutionary mode of transport, but privately it helped sabotage potential competition to Tesla. And that is a common trend among Silicon Valley "tech-bros" in general, where they try to reinvent the wheel coming up with "innovative" ideas to attract investors and ignoring much simpler and cheaper solutions to the same problem. For example, inventing an AI algorithm to match car drivers taking similar routes and having these cars be transported by a specialized truck to free up road space and reduce traffic. But there's a much simpler solution: public transport.
he said before, he gave any of his companies a 10% chance to succeed. And they spent billions on a high speed rail and not even a mile has been completed. You think musk is the dirty one???
He said Elon "eventually became CEO of Tesla" but failed to mention that Musk strongarmed the two founders out of the company and started telling ppl he was the founder when he wasn't. He also failed to mention that the original X company didn't become PayPal because of Elon, the original X was a shit company that got bailed out by Peter Thiel.
The last point about AI driving vs public transport. Though I would love public transportation to be the norm in the states, it's def not a simpler solution because it requires huge infrastructure and cultural changes in America where politics and the government need to be involved, and that is anything but simple especially compared to AI driving that aims to build on top of the existing infrastructure.
I saw your documentary the other day and came back to make this post. Specifically about the must censorship on X topic and the comparison between twitter and X (post musk), and was wondering, if its not logical that X complies more with governments requests for moderation now, If old Twitter, used to get 100 posts, and 30% was moderated or auto moderated. Of which 20% goverments were requesting deletion and twitter complying 50% of the time. And currently X barely moderates, meaning 1) more posts are made, they are likely more full of hatespeech of illegal, but still barely moderated, isnt it then logical more requests from governments would come out - and would be complied with? If this is the case, then why are you portraying it like Musk is some sort of censorship nazi? I loved most of your documentary but this part bothered me. Hope to get a response.
Elon Musk, with ventures so bright, From Starlink to Tesla’s new flight. With ChatGPT’s chat, And PayPal’s old hat, He’s E L E C T R I F Y I N G futures with might.
@@michaelslater6839 Think of how much more money you can make if you even read a few of those books to help you become more productive. Then think of the happiness you can achieve when you find time to read a few more.
One of the most annoying and polarizing things I've seen, is that many Conservatives have become convinced that all Liberals are all hard core leftists. And of course equally on the flip side, many Liberals have become convinced that all Conservatives are far right. You all basically want mostly the same things, but both sides act as if the other wants entirely opposite things. The average person, regardless of their political side, is not so unhinged. The minority does not represent the majority, but the minority speaks the loudest, and the majority never speaks at all. Thats the problem..
Yes, and when someone as influential as Elon stokes these fires and has the legion of fan boys on here as he does.....that can't even see the issues this guy is bringing.....we are f*cked. These are suppossedly educated nerds, most of them.
ahh, the Silent Majority-old as Nixon. definitely agree media incentives amplify the most insane voices, but i don’t think we can just “both sides” this; i think there really is a disparity between American right and left in terms of who’s more unhinged-remember Kellyanne Conway and the “alternative facts” community? i can’t remember sources, but here and there you pick up results of surveys, like 60-80% of voting Republicans genuinely believe the 2020 election was stolen, whereas less than 20% of voting Democrats are Progressives. tldr: qanon >> woke
they have become convinced of that because Donald Trump's teacher in politics was the attorney for Joseph McCarthy. You know, the same McCarthy who was one of the greatest demagogues the US ever had, who claimed there was a communist hiding behind every corner. Using the same rhetoric Trump and the republican party have become the source of modern day McCarthyism. It's far more devious than most people know.
This is kind of mid. You spent half of the video talking (and speculating) about him buying twitter and the rest was just giving him the softest of takes about his life. You didn't mention his union busting, the animals that were tortured for nuralink, or that he sued the founders of Tesla not to say that they had actually made it. Johnny, this is weak journalism and I'm unsubscribing. Tom Nicholas was right.
For real though, as someone who has been passively following Musk when I see an article, this video is incredibly weak. The framing of everything is blatantly pro Musk. Taking every bit of Elon's PR crafted image as fact.
@@theotormon I'm not asking for a character assassination, I'm asking Johnny to do this job and not write a fluff piece. It feels like Elon had final approval over the script.
"Humanity has the ability to to achieve 'greatness'," said Ozymandias. Elon is an engineer and an authoritarian leader. In small doses and in actually voluntary organizations the world can benefit. But we really aren't good at containing it to limited circumstances and the EGO only grows. Musk has a brilliant intellect, but that isn't the source of wisdom.
Much of this analysis is difficult to reference or qualify because it describes Elon or his conduct in abstract terms. I appreciate that brevity requires generalizations, but there’s a whole lot of psychoanalysis with barely any qualification. As a lawyer I also got set off 17 different ways by the statement that his patents weren’t copyrighted and that explains their being open-source + publicly accessible. This is incoherent, it’s common knowledge that patents and copyrights are completely separate forms of IP protecting different aspects of a work - a “copyrighted” patent doesn’t mean anything. Besides, patents are always publicly accessible, which doesn’t say much to a patent-holder’s charitability. If Elon liberally licensed or otherwise gave away his companies’ patent rights that would be noteworthy, but there is no reason to spend money and resources on getting a patent if you are simply going to give it away - so I assume this didn’t happen as described. I appreciate this might seem nitpicky, but I’m not describing a complex legal technicality, and to the extent that the thesis of this video essay is based on such generalized facts that are either ambiguous or blatantly wrong, I can’t say I learned much of anything concrete except what Johnny Harris thinks of Elon Musk’s mindset. How to convey information in an essay is a personal choice, but I find such basic mistakes to be a gross journalistic oversight. Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort and hope to catch you on a train stop some other time! Toodles! :P
Thank you for the insight on patents vs. copyrights. Regarding trying to assess some of Elon Musk's conduct, I don't it's a matter of abstraction. For example...when Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked, and then Elon shared a link to a conspiracy theory website that lied about it, and then Elon later deleted the tweet without correcting the misinformation...that is just bad behavior. A man with one of the biggest platforms in the world (artificially boosted by him) should be even more careful about spreading lies. In addition, if he allows someone onto the platform that outrageously lies (e.g. Alex Jones), he then becomes complicit in spreading the lies. I'm not saying Elon is an evil dude. Like everyone else, he's a mix of good and bad. But one of the things that bothers me about free speech absolutionists like him (other than hypocrisy) is how some view free speech as this moral ideal, and then go on to express themselves in bad ways (lies, misinformation, etc.). Regarding freedom, humanity would fare better if we remember the counsel of Viktor Frankl (paraphrased): next to the Statue of Liberty, should be built the Statue of Responsibility.
It's not nitpicky of you, that's the basic critical thinking Johnny missed on this video because he just doesn't have the time for those details. Most people who are into tech and culture just don't care about the legal details.

"most of this analysis is difficult to reference..." Seriously? Sources were referenced throughout, or shown to us directly, like Musk's own words. Did you perhaps sleep through some of the post?
Elon didn't start PayPal... He made a competitor to PayPal, and then merged with them. His X service was less popular, and they didn't like him in the team either.
Elon has a checkered past of getting corporate jobs because he's a rich-kid who gets fired for being totally incompetent, then litigates his firing so that part of the settlement is that he's named a founder of the company when he wasn't. The company being sued is like, "OK, so letting this moron fraudulently call himself a founder means that we're done with his stupid a$$. Great! Everybody's a winner!" Everybody knows that him being a founder is BS, it's the equivalent of a 9 year old having a signed note that says, "I agree that Billy is the coolest kid in school, everybody wants to be friends with him and come to his birthday party, and he always has the high-score on Frogger."
This is much more accurate. I don't know if Harris just didn't want to delve into that much detail, but the way it was posed made is seem like he had much more involvement in paypal's success than he actually did. Paypal was a competitor that bought X to stomp out competition which could drive down their valuation. I don't believe X was ever even fully functional. Elon got stake in the new company, and made a lot of money when it sold. None of X really ever got incorporated, and there's nothing really suggesting Elon had any major part in Paypal's success. I don't think it's fair to entirely discredit Elon on things like Tesla, but even that was kinda weird in the fact that he sued the original owners to claim that he was the original found of Tesla. He's very strange, and obviously has always had a history of self importance. It really does make it seem as though his role in most of his ventures has been largely inflated.
I agree. I’ve worked with autistic people for years. Some amazing people but many struggle to read between the lines with people and have difficulties with social insight. The nuances and inner motivations of people that are sensed by many people, are not picked up on. Easy targets for manipulation by narcissists and sociopaths, I’m afraid…..like, well…..mmm..
Is this why we rarely see Tom Scott and Michael from Vsauce anymore? They took a step back at a point when we desperately needed videos like from those
Really cool to see how Johnny took criticism of his fact checking process and has just quietly improved and overhauled his sourcing to the point that he’s footnoting every assertion and sharing it with readers. Investigative reporters employ this level of scrutiny, but the practice of sharing sourcing in this way is exceedingly rare in journalism.
Idk man, the story about paypal is still not correct, and it's one of the most debunked and known lies of the musk origin story. Insane that he missed that.
The whole video is literally skin-deep. Never delving into actual truths or what really happened (i.e. once it was eventually surfaced, but the news cycle never picked that up again), etc. The accolades you sing are undeserved, they are the barest minimum of a proper reporting (which, sadly, is a commentary onto itself how low the everyday journalism had fallen).
Elon Musk is similar to Steve Jobs. He is an entrepreneur who builds his business on the backs of the real geniuses like Steve Wozniak was for Steve Jobs. Both these CEOs potentially displays antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) bias. You could take an elevator ride with Steve Jobs and be fired before you reached the floor you were going to. Musk is the same model. He has even said it himself, “I don’t care what you think”, “you can just F off”. Jobs famously got his girlfriend pregnant when it was unhelpful for him and his career, so he takes a blood test for the courts and states that 98% of USA males could potentially be the father and he was not the father. DNA in the late 1980’s early 90’s and he then has no choice but accept he was the father. I am an atheist but the universe has its ways of balancing things out - and Jobs dies young. Musk has never disavowed his children but he told his first wife they were divorcing via a 3rd party. The man is potentially narcissistic and a with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). However I am not an expert and this is just my own personal opinion based on things I have heard him say and things that other close to him ( eg ex wives or ex employees) have stated in interviews about him.
@@boatymcboatface4120 true Swan invented the light bulb and Edison stole the show, he did the same to Tesla with electricity. Edison was king of DC and the world today uses AC.

"The patents were not copyrighted" ???? That makes no sense. The correct statement is that Musk said he would not enforce Tesla patents (until he changed his mind.)
Honest question though, what politically right wing content is getting removed from Twitter? When I get on there it’s just a stream of the most unhinged racist shit I’ve ever seen. Not even conservative policy, or debate, just 4chan-lite
If you watched a bit longer, you’d see that x started accepting 80% government censorship requests vs. twitter which accepted 50% of government censorship requests.
Yeah. This creator doesn't seem to believe that there's a far-left / deep state conspiracy in America at all, literally weeks after learning that, once again, our government has been lying to us abut a number of issues.
100% agree. This video is very one-sided. Pushing his own opinions, and he seems to have only picked out talking points that put Musk in a negative light instead of exploring his motives and reasons for why he does the things he does.
Is the first video? I’m very disappointed in so far they’ve been good honest unbiased.. how do you do your research and not know that his pivot point was Covid? I love how you says I don’t know what he’s thinking so it will be on for me to assume. And when he starts talking about Twitter, that’s exactly what he does. Come on Johnny do better!
esp since other automakers had already resumed production lines but since most of tsla domestic production was in california at the time, he was at the mercy of local unelected officials who had different ideas than Detroit counterparts.
@@jamesconner3437come on now, if Tony Stark could build an iron man suit in a cave from a box of scraps, I’m sure Elon Musk could do it! He always wanted to be like Tony stark
I disagree with your overall concluding point; however, I want to give you praise for the research and work that you have put into this. It's quality work! Your whole point seems to stem from a text message that does not have a whole lot of context. From that singular text, you go on to claim Musk has an "addiction to crisis," and and "addiction to attention." While you do some good research on other matters, there isn't much that would back these damaging claims of "addiction." Nevertheless, your conclusion is that these addictions are having a "corrosive effect on our society." The research you do points out some hypocrisy against Elon at best - it doesn't back this concluding point. Since Elon took over Twitter, I have experienced a platform with less censorship. Videos and messages that would be taken down are still up, and mainstream media outlets are being called out for their bias messages. You use the term "propaganda" in your video quite a bit. Unfortunately, determining what is "propaganda" or not is extremely difficult in today's society. I would argue that it is extremely difficult to identify true propaganda because the propaganda machine has been winning in recent years. As such, the clearcut truth is hard to see. Personally, I find that interesting because it is the media and algorithms of our recent history that had led us into the mess we are today. It seems like Musk is trying to clean out the muddiness of all of this, no? Ironically, you may argue that my opinion and experience on X is due to personal bias, but I would say the same thing about your video. A large portion of our opinion comes from the personal research we've done and the media we've digested -- Who's to say which media diet is better? What I think is this.. Elon Musk has the right idea. His claim for free speech is what we all want and what we all need! His implementation may be questioned due to your example with amplifying his own tweets and the issues with the Turkish government (etc.). However, just as your video shows, SpaceX wasn't immediately successful. How many missions failed before they got things going? How many years did that take? Now think about where we are at in the 'Twitter > X' takeover. This ownership is its infancy, and there may be some learning curves before he gets it right. The true takeaway of my thoughts here are above, but to go on a little more, I believe censorship has gone too far in social media and new media outlets. Again, in my experience, it looks and feels like X censors the least.
Kinda skipping over alot there, like how he never started or had the original vision for paypal, he got in early and bankrolled the business and similar situation with tesla, both of which times he paid with the condition he was considered a founder
It’s crazy how many false narratives there are about stuff like “technical founder” of companies. Usually the technical founders of companies are engineers who get pushed out within the first couple of years. I know this as I’ve seen it happen to friends.
He sold more E trucks than ford and chevy, launched more rockets that all other countries combined, used Starlink to help Ukraine, Starlink provides internet to the most desolate places on earth. Creating jobs for hundreds of thousands across the world, saved HK Battery company and all the jobs they provided, making renewable energy possible with the powercells he produces, first reusable rocket, took America back to space on our own soil. BUT, he lets people say whatever they want without censoring them on X. He must be evil........FFS. Be humble and take an L ever now and then, It will make you understand the world better. You might make some friends along the way.
I heard Instagram was blocked in Turkey, has X/twitter been blocked too? Do you know why? Is it because of the dog killing? Or is there other stuff going on too? I have found memories of Turkey, I thought it was a friendly place, I feel sorry for all the problems your country has been facing, I also feel very very sorry for the dogs.
“Yeah, dictatorships are bad, but I promise if I were your dictator I will make the world a better place!” -Musk Nothing makes me more anxious than knowing most billionaires believe this about themselves, and most humans believe them.
George Soros said something similar, but compared himself to God. But Soros is far left, he believes that by having governments that have total control on people makes it easier for him to control those governments. All far left millionaires think the same
In his defence I think everyone actually thinks that. The problem is often that people think that this people are more than people...they are just like you and me..and power corrupts...
Speaking of dictators... and how they are often misguided... Few people know about this but (H__) itler was convinced that population growth is only possible when new land is acquired. Acquired = conquered during war. So he started the war. How could he have thought that this land has to be conquered? It was actually very simple mathematics for him. Only cities grew larger in population size (and it was the desired kind of growth because that also meant industrial growth). In order to grow population there must have been more food produced - per every new born citizen. But the yield of wheat for example was constant and so increasing food production meant that more land was needed. Only after the second world war real pesticides were invented as well as better agriculture and that allowed for population growth with the same amount of land. Of course the real reason behind this conquest was the will of conquest and many other reasons but the need for food production was one of the reasons.
Okay, I'm afraid people won't agree with me. But this video is too shallow. Just quoting other people about how Musk felt at different parts of life. I doubt if Johnny even read the biography. Sorry for being blunt.
I really doubt he ‘didn’t read his biography.’ I’m pretty sure you also know that’s a blatantly false accusation. It’s fine to disagree I’m not an Elon fan but.. your argumeant needs some more meat.
the bone crushing irony that top leaders of twitter thought that jack dorsey should step down as ceo bc he was too focused on his businesses like square and cashapp. now we have elon musk with his endless "businesses" and "investments"
I know that Harris did his research, but his bias is immense. In this video. He Cherry picks a lot of points regarding Twitter and musk's Free speech position. He also points out his own hypocrisies rather than that of elon's.
It's very biased. In the beginning of the video he says a lot of the foundation of this video is from his own biograpgy. In what way is that neutral? Everything he says about his businesses is just echoing what Elon Musk and his fans say about these businesses. Nearly every single thing in this video presented about Elon Musk is framed in the best possible way for Musk not to look like a priviliged megalomaniac. Some of it is just straight up liesm
Very good video report. I was once a great admirer of Elon. I am a Tesla shareholder. I am a Twitter/X user. Elon is/was great at those companies where he could bring his talents to bear. Tesla/SpaceX/Boring/Neuralink, etc. Good examples of the current companies. But I knew that Twitter would be a personal downward spiral for him. What I didn't realise was how steep it would be. I used to be able to read him, to understand his motivations. I don't anymore. I'm a rational, logical person at heart. His logic has become skewed. As a consequence I'm on the verge of getting off Twitter/X, which is a shame because I do have a lot of contacts and friends there. And I'm not about to run off to Zuckerberg's empire. I don't know. Maybe social media isn't the best thing since sliced bread. Certainly Twitter/X no longer is.
@Jonathan-gi7df no he didn't, it just got initialised after he came in. it was an existing idea in development for a while. I've also been on twitter long enough to see those community notes get removed in less than 24 hours, or Elon removing the post totally. Multiple incidents of this happening. Especially when he falsely called a Thai diver who rescued a football team a pedo, or that time he reinstated an account that openly posted CP. (TWICE. IT HAPPENED TWICE.) Those two incidents I've mentioned have directly been reported on by multiple news outlets. So you can easily Google it.
Most people think that they would want to be one of the richest men in the world.. but everything has its price. I wouldn’t want to be Elon Musk for anything he seems tortured, damaged and almost soulless.
I mean when you’re constantly attacked by the media and online post you would become desensitized also. That’s the only way. Most people would just hurt themselves in a bad way with so much hate against them.
@@javiervasquez8797 you mean letting the popular people do your work for you instead of the nerds. You are short of critical thinking skills, any community notes ever tell you that?

So I analyzed the sources that were provided in this video and have come noticed three facts that may be interesting. 1. The news sites which are being used as sources have got a very great track record of being left-leaning. Not worthy Sources being: -The Guardian -CNN -YahooNews -WashingtonPost -CBSNews 2. The study which has been shown at 30:54 states and I am quoting here: "However, when making comparisons based on the amplification of individual politician’s accounts, rather than parties in aggregate, we found no association between amplification and party membership." and "Recent arguments that different political parties pursue different strategies on Twitter may provide an explanation as to why these disparities exist. However, understanding the precise causal mechanism that drives amplification invites further study that we hope our work initiates." and "Apart from the Home timeline, Twitter users are exposed to several other forms of algorithmic content curation on the platform that merit study through similar experiments. Political amplification is only one concern with online recommendations." Which is something to take into consideration when regarding this study as is in this video. That this is just one aspect of algorithmic manipulation and not the only one. This does not prove there is no tampering with the algorithms, merely that this type of tampering is likely not present. Something crucial which should be regarded when trying to make an unbiased evaluation. 3: The numbers shown at 34:10 are also taken quite out of context, let me explain: The statement that "old Twitter" has only said yes to 50% and X has said yes to 80% of request is true, but there is another key metric here which is called "Partial". Old Twitter has accepted request partially about 47% of the time and X has allowed requests partially about 19% of the time. Omitting these numbers form the selection set is unbelievably misinformative. Also about 85% of these requests come form Germany and Turkey. Looking into the Lumendatabase we can also see that there are no request form Turkey in the span from October 2021- October 2022 that have been fully denied by Old Twitter, but still quite a few that have only been approved partially.
This comment should reach at least a 1k likes for me to believe that, at least, this channel audience is not biased, bc this vid is almost like a blueprint for making propaganda content, a very unfair and overly biased take (and this is just fine) and trying to sell it like neutral fact based content (this is the part that is disgusting for me)
When Twitter complied, everyone was happy, X had escalating threats from governments eg E Safety Australia, EU and deliberately wanted to flex on him. Conservative content seems to be amplified as its more logical, eg covid. Banning Trump and Peterson was absurd (Tate is a creation, filling the void created when the opposing Peterson was removed, I do have a bias for Peterson) The left claimed, its private it can do what it wants, the moment the left lost control, they hated Elon and pushed for control. Main point, the data is not in isolation to the social aspects around it.
I feels the same by the way, people overrated him and misunderstood how he got into success. He is more of a business than an inventor/thinker, he is more Edission that he is to Tesla.
As an autistic person myself (diagnosed), I think Musk sounds like what happens when an autistic person with relatively high self focus/"other people are means" understanding (like my daughter) also is rich enough that he can get away with it, only having to care about the sanction of law, but not social rules. Most relatively severely affected autists only want to do, in fact only manage to do, what they like to do. My daughter has a kind heart, but if she wants to spend time gaming she will not be able to take other people's plans/situations/almost anything else into account. It is not hat she doesn't care, just that the urge to do what she want to do is so much stronger. I can moderate her when necessary, but only because she has to rely on me for certain things. Musk doesn't have to rely on any specific person. He can replace them. This also shows in how he treat his girlfriends. He is rich and single sided; either he gets it his way or they're out. They even have to sign a girlfriend contract. He is in a position where he can't be forced out of his autistic mode, so he only gets more locked into his way being the right way, regardless of what anyone else say. Remember; I'm an autistic person (diagnosed). I know that if we get moderated in a good way, we can learn to moderate ourselves healthily. at least to some extent. This has never happened to Musk. He doesn't moderate himself unless he sees that it would give him an advantage.

He ponders things carefully, so your analysis is flawed. He just arrives at different conclusions, and yes how others feel in the moment isn’t high on his concerns in an eventual decision.
@@delasias9153 Sure they have different purposes, but that statement still doesn't make sense, or at least it was not what was meant. Patents are by nature not subject to copyright restrictions.

Yeah and how you can’t make the connection of everything he does and then buying twitter with alterior motives and naming it X is almost willfully negligent . They put it in our face. The esoteric value of X. As above so below. Triangle pointing up and triangle pointing down. There’s two X’s on your screen now. What do they do. Exit out of comments and exit out of video.

Oh well the internet is as it is” Dont forget: you cant disagree/hate JK Rowling but still love Harry Potter but nooo you cant dislike Elon and still like the companies he built and their goals
This story is full of surface level reporting. It's the worst researched story from Johhny because it seems to me he doesn't want to dig too deep because he starts courting a specific viewer - first Joe Rogan, now this.
@@andriib9390 for example Elons first company was saved by his moms friend who hired to fix elons horrible code and then sell the company. Without that man the company would not be sold and Elon would not make his first big cash. Elons X also didn't become paypal it merged with paypal which was a larger company. Elon was outsted as a CEO of Paypal since he was mismanaging the hell out of it. Starlink is a topic for a very long treatese.
Starts out the video claiming that he had been interviewing people around Elon and investigating for a few months. Then proceeds to never mention any of these interviews again and instead presents a 42 minute personal opinion piece while only presenting events that are already well documented and known to everyone. Investigative Journalists should do more than simply google a few facts and news clips.
You make him sound like a wunderkind with an idealistic vision in the first half, when in fact he appears to have constructed a good "story" for everything he's done, which boils down to largely taking credit for the work of others and demonstrating a staggering amount of hubris. I don't disagree with your conclusion, but I think the Musk we see today was probably always there under the "aspirational" version he sells in the biogs. I know this is RUclips, but a better critical analysis is needed for such a complex and flawed individual to make the piece worthwhile. Hysteria do a better job of this.

@@bardsamok9221 accurate. Although, it’s pretty obvious from his recent talk with Jordan Peterdong that him being a dead beat dad to his trans daughter was a huge part of the motivation. He’s coping sooooo hard about her changing her last name and saying she never wants to see him again.

This video is indeed biased.
@@JordanAF808 Yes, also the claim that Musk invents "unprecedented" feats of engineering when he's really not, just trying to improve existing ones: making rockets cheaper, make electric cars more popular etc... Some details in this video are downright false like Musk allegedly trying to buy the Soviet ICBMs in order to "rebuild" them when the plan was to just shoot one to Mars with a camera and a flower pot and claim "life on Mars" as a marketing stunt - no rebuilding was planned. Very superficial and poorly researched video unfortunately.
Interesting reading the intense heat in the comment section (wow lots of angry people) with Musk fans accusing this video of being biased against Musk while others accusing the video of being way too favourable.
The video was definitely balanced which is why I guess it is drawing such heat from both quarters. I guess in defence of people accusing the content creator of leaving stuff out, the stuff you want included would make the video a lot longer. In my view he covered enough to show that Musk is a very clever but very strange individual who has a dangeous nasty streak in him and so his control of Twitter is very worrying. I am afraid I am not a Musk fan especially after the roll he helped play in stoking the UK riots and his support of Trump.
Yeah. The Elon cult is deranged. Johnny was way nicer than most critics, acknowledging that Musk is brilliant, does a lot of technical work, and isn’t a mining heir. The guy is problematic though. A lot of it is just business and idk how much it matters.
I just read through the comments on this video. Some people are supporting Elon despite some of the evidences that he doesn't need their support and doesn't care if they do. Others are against him. The real take-away is that one should never idolize another human being. We all have our virtues and our failings. Elon has his virtues - I think buying Twitter was a virtue since the algorithms are much more favourable to me - so it's a personal opinion. I do NOT idolize him because I don't trust him as I don't trust any wealthy people, nor do I trust any politicians - even the ones I vote for. I watch what these people do and I call them out if they do bad things. Sure, we can debate good and bad, but there are standards that are biblical and there are standards that are moral. Those are the ones I care about. Point being, Elon is a human being with the ability to good and bad like anybody else. He's larger than life because of his wealth, but he is neither good nor evil.
Well said. But personally I don’t agree about X. It’s all pure hateful negativity doesn’t matter which side of the coin you fall on. And if that’s a reflection of his mind it’s terrifying
No one person, let alone a non-elected person, should have that much power.
I’m skeptical of him because the outfit he is wearing in his self portrait on X is from a halloween event. His outfit was known as the devil’s champion. Let that sink in…

BS, his mother is a model who net worth 45mill dollar.
His father engineer, politican and businessman.
Yeah , and even Elon few times said that "emerald mine " story ... Later he changed to his father borrowing money from him
@@filipcsizmar4860That f*cking annoyed me as well. Like, he’s the goddamn person who introduced this supposed myth to the world. How am I’m supposed to trust him now if he’s basically saying “I lied to you back then”. How do I know he‘s not lying to me right now?
Besides, the only source we have for the story being fake is Walter Isaacson, who apparently interviewed Errol Musk on the topic, with Errol Musk essentially saying he never “legally” owned a mine (whatever that’s supposed to mean) but also stating that he was very much involved with illegal activity involving emerald trading. I don’t think any of this makes both Musks look any better.
Never has a Canadian immigrant from South Africa been so involved in US politics.
Hey Johnny, you’ll probably never read this comment but I think I know why Elon had his pivot. I’ve been a shareholder way longer than most Tesla stans and have been watching Elon’s progression in real time, before most people had even heard of him.
The pivot came because of the pandemic but it was the final straw of 4 events I see as formative to his current world view.
There was the jury trial Tesla lost regarding racism and resulted in a gigantic jury award (later overturned). Elon prides himself on being race-agnostic, and as a youth, he was much more willing to be friends with black South Africans than other whites. He was very confident Tesla was going to win the trial, and likely blames the “woke mind virus” for the unjustifiably high award.
Then there was his daughter coming out as transgender. There are few details about this but I think it is safe to say Elon did not take this well. They have no relationship with each other and again Elon likely blames woke ideology for this. He keeps saying that he “is a liberal”, but he thinks the political spectrum has moved so far left that it makes him look like a conservative.
Then there is his sense of betrayal by the Democratic Party,(which he voted for up until either the 2016 or 2020 election) which has never embraced him despite the fact that he made the electric car happen (along with improving large-scale electrical storage). Because Tesla is not unionized, the Dems cannot get too close to him for fear of alienating their union base. He has been repeatedly shut out or ignored by the Dems on many initiatives, whereas e.g. Mary Barra was given undue credit for innovating in the EV space.
Lastly, the pandemic happened, and as someone else here had mentioned, he was angry that the government had the power to shut down his factories. He himself had a different view of the seriousness of the pandemic, and felt that he was being muzzled and censored for his view in the early months and days of the pandemic.
You have described someone who needs approval and is terrified of criticism. Without taking in feedback how can he get the course correction one needs to avoid going over the waterfall or over the cliff?
I think it is hard to take any other criticism seriously if you are in charge of so many lives. At the pinnacle of power you will choose the most trustworthy to be your sole advisors..
Otherwise you will go wrong all the time..
So it's "all about him".
"Not taking well" that his daughter is transgender is already conservative ideology, making all claims he's liberal untrue.
He seems to generally reason from first principles and has historically been pretty rational to build Tesla and Space X to where they are, but on societal issues he's clearly dogmatic.
If he wasn't, he would know basic facts, like gender affirming care has a wildly positive effect, or that there are physiological differences in the brain of transgender people which align more with their gender than their biological sex.
The only explanation I see is he's so conservative he's blinded by his values.
One correction to this above comment " the political spectrum has moved so far left that it makes him look like a conservative." Many studies have show the the political spectrum hasn't moved left at all, but the right has gone much further right. I suspect that due to your reasons above (and others) that he has taken a wild lurch to the right.
I can not stress enough how important twitter is for turkish opposition. Twitter is only social media platform in Turkey that is widely used and you can interact with. It is the organizing place of Gezi Park Protests,it is the place where journalists publish their investigations,it is the place where people who had forced to escape Turkey get their news and share their beliefs and information with Turkey,it is the place that international news enter to Turkey unfiltered. It is vital. It is the radio of 3rd world countries.
Internet is dead for humans, especially with AI on the move. We need to go back to paper.
@@vincentmatthis I don't think that paper communication could gather several thousand people to occupy the Bosphorus Bridge in the middle of the night because 50 protesters were brutally beaten in a random park in Istanbul, and that just 7 hours after the incident in the morning, it could mobilize one of the country's largest universities in full force and trigger a protest that almost resulted in the seizure of the parliament building.
Will ex-Twitter remain that way under Musk? He might give parties that are favourable to him, some kind of advantage for example.
@@Kmlcvlk999Yes. That is why he bought it.
@@mjouwbuis I hope it stays like this but I don't think so. There are several reasons. First, Musk avoids conflict with Erdogan and shuts down opposition accounts upon request, especially accounts of the Gülen movement and whistleblowers from the more "dark side" of the Turkish State. Second, the bot game is big in Turkey. Each party has its own unofficial but somehow related bots and trolls (this may be an effort of that party or it may be a reaction to Erdoğan from the party's mass, especially its youth branches). But Erdoğan and his party use bots and trolls on a completely different scale. Even if the old Twitter couldn't solve this problem, it at least curbed it. Musk isn't even trying.
This video itself feels like a propoganda lol
That’s what I felt watching it
Because it is.literally, he said it in the beginning 😂😂😂
I'm sure he's on the Gov. payroll also
Cause it is?
It is
I find it very interesting how so many in the comment section are calling this video incredibly biased against Musk, when in my opinion it was far more favorable to him in its tellings of certain events than other sources I've seen, and nowhere near as accusatory. Really goes to show how polarization works. This video paints the picture of a brilliant entrepreneur twisted by assholeness and conflict-seeking, as opposed to a real life tony stark or to a businessman hijacking dreams and manufacturing hype so that he can sell a future only he will benefit from.
I bet Elon really enjoyed this video until 18:10

Musk after watching this video: How much for RUclips ?
Why? I'm a quarter of the way through & it seems like a puff piece. I've heard many of Musk's lies repeated verbatim with no critical analysis...
he does not have the money to buy youtube. he literally had to borrow 13 billion in other to buy twitter and sell billions in shares. RUclips costs a lot more.
i hope so! i'd do a got dam legit back flip if that ever happened lol
Nailed it
if google ever sold youtube I'd eat my computer glass panels and all. Just think of how much free AI collection they get from YT alone
I have an alternative suggestion to using an app that highlights bias reporting within news headlines and articles. Contemplate the efficacy of consuming the news itself, and find that it is pointless outside of specific context and is a harmful general practice.
Very good video. I remember seeing an interview with Musk many years ago where the interviewer joked to Musk that his activities had the grandeur of a Bond villian so the world was lucky he wasn't one. Musk response was odd and I remember at the time thinking wow this man could be really dangerous.
Sadly, despite his great intelligence, he also has always had some very odd beliefs. Like many who have studied the sciences, he always swallowed the mistaken idea that anything is possible for humanity hence why he thinks we can colonise the universe. Folk like him need to be reminded of Newton and his fellow alchemists who were convinced they could change a base metal into gold. I honestly think if you had asked Newton which would be easier, to send a man to the moon or alchemy he may very well have answered the latter. The problem with humans is we remember science's successes but quickly forget its failures. I am sceptical we can even get people even to Mars alive once a space craft leaves the protective earth's magnetosphere for any length of time, let alone travel light years to other solar systems that just might have an earth-like planet.
As for his latest behaviour, it is at best very eccentric but sadly more likely has quite an evil component to it. Autism cannot really excuse this.
8:08 "Patents were not copyrighted"
That's not how patents work. Patents and copyrights are two distinct forms of intellectual property protection, patents can't be copyrighted.
He also didn't "open source" anything as far as i know. Open source means there is an explicit license granting rights to use, modify, and redistribute. Harris didn't show any open source licences or suggest that any existed for Musk-owned products.
@@reed6514 incorrect, open source does not mean what you said, there's 1000 different open source licenses, Apache, MIT, ...that are actually very restrictive. Open source does not automatically grant you the right to modify or redistribute. Why you must know the license terms of the Open Source
I really hope he misspoke or he is clueless. You’re correct they are two very different and distinct forms of ownership protection.
@@reed6514 Be careful not to confuse OS with FOSS.
I remember digging into the claim that Tesla's patents were open for any company to use and pretty quickly found the catch. I don't recall the details, but it hinged on a total non-starter of an agreement you had to sign onto if you wanted to use their proprietary charging solution. Car companies had other options that didn't involve basically giving Tesla an automatic competitive advantage and went for that instead. Almost universally. The outcome (almost nobody in the market taking such a generous offer back when Superchargers were pretty much the only name in town) should speak volumes as to the value of the deal on offer.
Sure, they eventually dropped the requirement and now we have car companies declaring support for NACS charging standard over the next few years, but the idea Harris presented that Musk left the patents wide open and free for everyone is just straight-up propaganda (at the time it happened). It's an incredibly misleading narrative that ignores the massive strings attached. If the patents were genuinely open and available, it would have been a big PR win and a huge move forward for the industry - instead it was just a free PR win at the expense of setting back EV infrastructure development and making sure Tesla remained the only viable option as long as possible.

That's... an impressive level of not understanding the terms you're using.
This guy doesn't get it. He's never heard of Matt Taibbi and the Twitter files? He's so far left he can't comprehend anything.
my thoughts exactly
It’s not surprising coming from ex-Vox media. Reminds me of when Vox published a video about TikTok claiming they made $16B profit when the article shown clearly shows revenue.
Open patent. He just used non copyrighted for some reason.
@@richardhamilton-gibbs6360no he comprehend. He's just doing what he's paid to do. He's a propagandist
Twitter was absolutely left leaning prior to Elon. Unfortunately, for that reason, it got a new name and seemingly morphed into a tool for a new purpose.
My friends have starlink and all complain about connection issues with it. It can be a gorgeous day and everyone lags, connection can even cut out. But when the weather is bad, it's better than ever like the internet south of where we live. It's weird honestly, make it make sense
Another fact that wasn't mentioned in this video is that Elon Musk personally admitted how Hyperloop was just a ploy to divert attention and funds away from high speed rail construction in the US, which has ongoing for decades now.
He publicly branded Hyperloop as a new revolutionary mode of transport, but privately it helped sabotage potential competition to Tesla.
And that is a common trend among Silicon Valley "tech-bros" in general, where they try to reinvent the wheel coming up with "innovative" ideas to attract investors and ignoring much simpler and cheaper solutions to the same problem.
For example, inventing an AI algorithm to match car drivers taking similar routes and having these cars be transported by a specialized truck to free up road space and reduce traffic. But there's a much simpler solution: public transport.
he said before, he gave any of his companies a 10% chance to succeed. And they spent billions on a high speed rail and not even a mile has been completed. You think musk is the dirty one???
Yes, very disappointed with the lack of research Jhonny did
He said Elon "eventually became CEO of Tesla" but failed to mention that Musk strongarmed the two founders out of the company and started telling ppl he was the founder when he wasn't.
He also failed to mention that the original X company didn't become PayPal because of Elon, the original X was a shit company that got bailed out by Peter Thiel.
The last point about AI driving vs public transport. Though I would love public transportation to be the norm in the states, it's def not a simpler solution because it requires huge infrastructure and cultural changes in America where politics and the government need to be involved, and that is anything but simple especially compared to AI driving that aims to build on top of the existing infrastructure.
Honestly, I don't understand how that works. Like he brought up an old idea, and suddenly everyone stopped working on the rail projects?
Elon: “make the algorithm reduce Johnny Harris’ tweets reach by a factor of a thousand”. 🤣🤣🤣
Johnny is definitely lying about that seeing as how the X algorithm and community notes are both open sourced

I saw your documentary the other day and came back to make this post. Specifically about the must censorship on X topic and the comparison between twitter and X (post musk), and was wondering, if its not logical that X complies more with governments requests for moderation now, If old Twitter, used to get 100 posts, and 30% was moderated or auto moderated. Of which 20% goverments were requesting deletion and twitter complying 50% of the time. And currently X barely moderates, meaning 1) more posts are made, they are likely more full of hatespeech of illegal, but still barely moderated, isnt it then logical more requests from governments would come out - and would be complied with? If this is the case, then why are you portraying it like Musk is some sort of censorship nazi? I loved most of your documentary but this part bothered me. Hope to get a response.

One of the most annoying and polarizing things I've seen, is that many Conservatives have become convinced that all Liberals are all hard core leftists. And of course equally on the flip side, many Liberals have become convinced that all Conservatives are far right. You all basically want mostly the same things, but both sides act as if the other wants entirely opposite things. The average person, regardless of their political side, is not so unhinged. The minority does not represent the majority, but the minority speaks the loudest, and the majority never speaks at all. Thats the problem..
Yes, and when someone as influential as Elon stokes these fires and has the legion of fan boys on here as he does.....that can't even see the issues this guy is bringing.....we are f*cked. These are suppossedly educated nerds, most of them.
ahh, the Silent Majority-old as Nixon.
definitely agree media incentives amplify the most insane voices, but i don’t think we can just “both sides” this; i think there really is a disparity between American right and left in terms of who’s more unhinged-remember Kellyanne Conway and the “alternative facts” community?
i can’t remember sources, but here and there you pick up results of surveys, like 60-80% of voting Republicans genuinely believe the 2020 election was stolen, whereas less than 20% of voting Democrats are Progressives.
tldr: qanon >> woke
they have become convinced of that because Donald Trump's teacher in politics was the attorney for Joseph McCarthy. You know, the same McCarthy who was one of the greatest demagogues the US ever had, who claimed there was a communist hiding behind every corner. Using the same rhetoric Trump and the republican party have become the source of modern day McCarthyism. It's far more devious than most people know.

Johnny, this is weak journalism and I'm unsubscribing. Tom Nicholas was right.
Like he is supposed to say everything about the man in one video. He's making a point, not just random character assassination.
For real though, as someone who has been passively following Musk when I see an article, this video is incredibly weak.
The framing of everything is blatantly pro Musk. Taking every bit of Elon's PR crafted image as fact.
@@theotormon I'm not asking for a character assassination, I'm asking Johnny to do this job and not write a fluff piece. It feels like Elon had final approval over the script.
"Humanity has the ability to to achieve 'greatness'," said Ozymandias. Elon is an engineer and an authoritarian leader. In small doses and in actually voluntary organizations the world can benefit. But we really aren't good at containing it to limited circumstances and the EGO only grows. Musk has a brilliant intellect, but that isn't the source of wisdom.
Much of this analysis is difficult to reference or qualify because it describes Elon or his conduct in abstract terms. I appreciate that brevity requires generalizations, but there’s a whole lot of psychoanalysis with barely any qualification.
As a lawyer I also got set off 17 different ways by the statement that his patents weren’t copyrighted and that explains their being open-source + publicly accessible. This is incoherent, it’s common knowledge that patents and copyrights are completely separate forms of IP protecting different aspects of a work - a “copyrighted” patent doesn’t mean anything. Besides, patents are always publicly accessible, which doesn’t say much to a patent-holder’s charitability. If Elon liberally licensed or otherwise gave away his companies’ patent rights that would be noteworthy, but there is no reason to spend money and resources on getting a patent if you are simply going to give it away - so I assume this didn’t happen as described.
I appreciate this might seem nitpicky, but I’m not describing a complex legal technicality, and to the extent that the thesis of this video essay is based on such generalized facts that are either ambiguous or blatantly wrong, I can’t say I learned much of anything concrete except what Johnny Harris thinks of Elon Musk’s mindset. How to convey information in an essay is a personal choice, but I find such basic mistakes to be a gross journalistic oversight. Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort and hope to catch you on a train stop some other time! Toodles! :P
Teach me law, seriously.
Thank you for the insight on patents vs. copyrights. Regarding trying to assess some of Elon Musk's conduct, I don't it's a matter of abstraction. For example...when Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked, and then Elon shared a link to a conspiracy theory website that lied about it, and then Elon later deleted the tweet without correcting the misinformation...that is just bad behavior. A man with one of the biggest platforms in the world (artificially boosted by him) should be even more careful about spreading lies. In addition, if he allows someone onto the platform that outrageously lies (e.g. Alex Jones), he then becomes complicit in spreading the lies.
I'm not saying Elon is an evil dude. Like everyone else, he's a mix of good and bad. But one of the things that bothers me about free speech absolutionists like him (other than hypocrisy) is how some view free speech as this moral ideal, and then go on to express themselves in bad ways (lies, misinformation, etc.). Regarding freedom, humanity would fare better if we remember the counsel of Viktor Frankl (paraphrased): next to the Statue of Liberty, should be built the Statue of Responsibility.
It's not nitpicky of you, that's the basic critical thinking Johnny missed on this video because he just doesn't have the time for those details. Most people who are into tech and culture just don't care about the legal details.

Elon didn't start PayPal... He made a competitor to PayPal, and then merged with them. His X service was less popular, and they didn't like him in the team either.
🤔
Elon has a checkered past of getting corporate jobs because he's a rich-kid who gets fired for being totally incompetent, then litigates his firing so that part of the settlement is that he's named a founder of the company when he wasn't. The company being sued is like, "OK, so letting this moron fraudulently call himself a founder means that we're done with his stupid a$$. Great! Everybody's a winner!" Everybody knows that him being a founder is BS, it's the equivalent of a 9 year old having a signed note that says, "I agree that Billy is the coolest kid in school, everybody wants to be friends with him and come to his birthday party, and he always has the high-score on Frogger."

@@Skank_and_Gutterboy your name comes close to what you are, I'm sure.
This is much more accurate. I don't know if Harris just didn't want to delve into that much detail, but the way it was posed made is seem like he had much more involvement in paypal's success than he actually did. Paypal was a competitor that bought X to stomp out competition which could drive down their valuation. I don't believe X was ever even fully functional. Elon got stake in the new company, and made a lot of money when it sold. None of X really ever got incorporated, and there's nothing really suggesting Elon had any major part in Paypal's success. I don't think it's fair to entirely discredit Elon on things like Tesla, but even that was kinda weird in the fact that he sued the original owners to claim that he was the original found of Tesla. He's very strange, and obviously has always had a history of self importance. It really does make it seem as though his role in most of his ventures has been largely inflated.

Really cool to see how Johnny took criticism of his fact checking process and has just quietly improved and overhauled his sourcing to the point that he’s footnoting every assertion and sharing it with readers. Investigative reporters employ this level of scrutiny, but the practice of sharing sourcing in this way is exceedingly rare in journalism.
Idk man, the story about paypal is still not correct, and it's one of the most debunked and known lies of the musk origin story. Insane that he missed that.
He still has a lot of errors throughout. Both in pro and anti Elon parts.
The whole video is literally skin-deep. Never delving into actual truths or what really happened (i.e. once it was eventually surfaced, but the news cycle never picked that up again), etc. The accolades you sing are undeserved, they are the barest minimum of a proper reporting (which, sadly, is a commentary onto itself how low the everyday journalism had fallen).
@@cbs1710 Journalism has always been a mixed bag.
True dat
Elon Musk is similar to Steve Jobs. He is an entrepreneur who builds his business on the backs of the real geniuses like Steve Wozniak was for Steve Jobs. Both these CEOs potentially displays antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) bias. You could take an elevator ride with Steve Jobs and be fired before you reached the floor you were going to. Musk is the same model. He has even said it himself, “I don’t care what you think”, “you can just F off”. Jobs famously got his girlfriend pregnant when it was unhelpful for him and his career, so he takes a blood test for the courts and states that 98% of USA males could potentially be the father and he was not the father. DNA in the late 1980’s early 90’s and he then has no choice but accept he was the father. I am an atheist but the universe has its ways of balancing things out - and Jobs dies young. Musk has never disavowed his children but he told his first wife they were divorcing via a 3rd party. The man is potentially narcissistic and a with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). However I am not an expert and this is just my own personal opinion based on things I have heard him say and things that other close to him ( eg ex wives or ex employees) have stated in interviews about him.
There is no balancing of the universe. Sometimes bad people live long and good people die young.
In both cases it is Thomas Edison kind of situation
@@boatymcboatface4120 true Swan invented the light bulb and Edison stole the show, he did the same to Tesla with electricity. Edison was king of DC and the world today uses AC. Edison was paying a clerk for information and delays at the US patent office and getting his stuff stamped in first. Edison was a man of dubious integrity. Same with so many inventions that were U.K. first (normally Scottish guys) and USA got the money. Churchill gave USA penicillin as he needed war supplies. Ditto the war time designs of the Turing computer design that broke German codes. The U.K. machine were destroyed by Churchill for reasons of secrecy but they kind of kicked off IBM machines. Post WW2 the race was USA, UK and Russia to get access to all Hitlers best designers, USA caught von Braun and the USA used him at the early inception of NASA.

"The patents were not copyrighted" ???? That makes no sense. The correct statement is that Musk said he would not enforce Tesla patents (until he changed his mind.)
Denial of U.S. government censorship on social media platforms is insane.
Yeah I think Johnny Harris needs a reality check I used to like his videos but he gets more and more and more Lefty and his opinions are convoluted
Honest question though, what politically right wing content is getting removed from Twitter? When I get on there it’s just a stream of the most unhinged racist shit I’ve ever seen. Not even conservative policy, or debate, just 4chan-lite
If you watched a bit longer, you’d see that x started accepting 80% government censorship requests vs. twitter which accepted 50% of government censorship requests.
Yeah. This creator doesn't seem to believe that there's a far-left / deep state conspiracy in America at all, literally weeks after learning that, once again, our government has been lying to us abut a number of issues.
100% agree. This video is very one-sided. Pushing his own opinions, and he seems to have only picked out talking points that put Musk in a negative light instead of exploring his motives and reasons for why he does the things he does.
The pandemic was the pivot. He HATED that the government could tell his employees to stay home.
Pretty difficult to assemble things from home. Especially cars and rockets. The neighbors are not gonna like it.
Is the first video? I’m very disappointed in so far they’ve been good honest unbiased.. how do you do your research and not know that his pivot point was Covid? I love how you says I don’t know what he’s thinking so it will be on for me to assume. And when he starts talking about Twitter, that’s exactly what he does. Come on Johnny do better!

The spirit of the child lives inside the heart of every healthy man.
I disagree with your overall concluding point; however, I want to give you praise for the research and work that you have put into this. It's quality work!
Your whole point seems to stem from a text message that does not have a whole lot of context. From that singular text, you go on to claim Musk has an "addiction to crisis," and and "addiction to attention." While you do some good research on other matters, there isn't much that would back these damaging claims of "addiction." Nevertheless, your conclusion is that these addictions are having a "corrosive effect on our society." The research you do points out some hypocrisy against Elon at best - it doesn't back this concluding point.
Since Elon took over Twitter, I have experienced a platform with less censorship. Videos and messages that would be taken down are still up, and mainstream media outlets are being called out for their bias messages. You use the term "propaganda" in your video quite a bit. Unfortunately, determining what is "propaganda" or not is extremely difficult in today's society. I would argue that it is extremely difficult to identify true propaganda because the propaganda machine has been winning in recent years. As such, the clearcut truth is hard to see. Personally, I find that interesting because it is the media and algorithms of our recent history that had led us into the mess we are today. It seems like Musk is trying to clean out the muddiness of all of this, no? Ironically, you may argue that my opinion and experience on X is due to personal bias, but I would say the same thing about your video. A large portion of our opinion comes from the personal research we've done and the media we've digested -- Who's to say which media diet is better?
What I think is this.. Elon Musk has the right idea. His claim for free speech is what we all want and what we all need! His implementation may be questioned due to your example with amplifying his own tweets and the issues with the Turkish government (etc.). However, just as your video shows, SpaceX wasn't immediately successful. How many missions failed before they got things going? How many years did that take? Now think about where we are at in the 'Twitter > X' takeover. This ownership is its infancy, and there may be some learning curves before he gets it right.
The true takeaway of my thoughts here are above, but to go on a little more, I believe censorship has gone too far in social media and new media outlets. Again, in my experience, it looks and feels like X censors the least.
Kinda skipping over alot there, like how he never started or had the original vision for paypal, he got in early and bankrolled the business and similar situation with tesla, both of which times he paid with the condition he was considered a founder
Yes I was waiting for these parts
Totally agree.
Kind of expected, considering the biography (which is a puff piece) was a big part of the source material.
It's also very useful context to demonstrate a pattern of behaviour.
It’s crazy how many false narratives there are about stuff like “technical founder” of companies. Usually the technical founders of companies are engineers who get pushed out within the first couple of years. I know this as I’ve seen it happen to friends.

Nothing makes me more anxious than knowing most billionaires believe this about themselves, and most humans believe them.
How is he trying to create a dictatorship or has advocated for it. Literally at all?! I’ll wait. You all are crazy
George Soros said something similar, but compared himself to God. But Soros is far left, he believes that by having governments that have total control on people makes it easier for him to control those governments. All far left millionaires think the same
In his defence I think everyone actually thinks that. The problem is often that people think that this people are more than people...they are just like you and me..and power corrupts...
He clearly admires dictators just like trump.
Speaking of dictators... and how they are often misguided... Few people know about this but (H__) itler was convinced that population growth is only possible when new land is acquired. Acquired = conquered during war. So he started the war. How could he have thought that this land has to be conquered? It was actually very simple mathematics for him. Only cities grew larger in population size (and it was the desired kind of growth because that also meant industrial growth). In order to grow population there must have been more food produced - per every new born citizen. But the yield of wheat for example was constant and so increasing food production meant that more land was needed. Only after the second world war real pesticides were invented as well as better agriculture and that allowed for population growth with the same amount of land. Of course the real reason behind this conquest was the will of conquest and many other reasons but the need for food production was one of the reasons.
Apartheid is in his blood.

Okay, I'm afraid people won't agree with me. But this video is too shallow. Just quoting other people about how Musk felt at different parts of life. I doubt if Johnny even read the biography. Sorry for being blunt.
And got government subsidies wrong. Tesla received a loan from the dept of energy which they paid off early.
Agree, its way to shallow.
I agree too although I usually like Johnny’s work wether I agree or not. This piece didn’t sit right.
I really doubt he ‘didn’t read his biography.’ I’m pretty sure you also know that’s a blatantly false accusation.
It’s fine to disagree I’m not an Elon fan but.. your argumeant needs some more meat.
It’s like diving into 2 foot of water
the bone crushing irony that top leaders of twitter thought that jack dorsey should step down as ceo bc he was too focused on his businesses like square and cashapp. now we have elon musk with his endless "businesses" and "investments"
I know that Harris did his research, but his bias is immense. In this video. He Cherry picks a lot of points regarding Twitter and musk's Free speech position. He also points out his own hypocrisies rather than that of elon's.
It's very biased. In the beginning of the video he says a lot of the foundation of this video is from his own biograpgy. In what way is that neutral?
Everything he says about his businesses is just echoing what Elon Musk and his fans say about these businesses.
Nearly every single thing in this video presented about Elon Musk is framed in the best possible way for Musk not to look like a priviliged megalomaniac. Some of it is just straight up liesm
He should have named his perfume "Elon's Musk"

Very good video report. I was once a great admirer of Elon. I am a Tesla shareholder. I am a Twitter/X user. Elon is/was great at those companies where he could bring his talents to bear. Tesla/SpaceX/Boring/Neuralink, etc. Good examples of the current companies. But I knew that Twitter would be a personal downward spiral for him. What I didn't realise was how steep it would be. I used to be able to read him, to understand his motivations. I don't anymore. I'm a rational, logical person at heart. His logic has become skewed. As a consequence I'm on the verge of getting off Twitter/X, which is a shame because I do have a lot of contacts and friends there. And I'm not about to run off to Zuckerberg's empire. I don't know. Maybe social media isn't the best thing since sliced bread. Certainly Twitter/X no longer is.
He is not one of the richest people in the world. Sultans, sheiks, and senators are
He didn’t spend 44bn dollars to censor himself.
He doesn't have to. But boosting himself artificially doesn't make him good
And yet he does censor himself, at least when the Chinese Communist Party demands it anyway.
@@lolzu sure but he created fact-checkers, which correct his account very often, so this image of him being immune to critics is simply not true
@@Jonathan-gi7df Very late very often. after it was already seen by thousands
@Jonathan-gi7df no he didn't, it just got initialised after he came in. it was an existing idea in development for a while.
I've also been on twitter long enough to see those community notes get removed in less than 24 hours, or Elon removing the post totally. Multiple incidents of this happening. Especially when he falsely called a Thai diver who rescued a football team a pedo, or that time he reinstated an account that openly posted CP. (TWICE. IT HAPPENED TWICE.)
Those two incidents I've mentioned have directly been reported on by multiple news outlets. So you can easily Google it.
86k likes /20k dislikes for those who cant see the dislike button due to censorship.
how did you come by this Intel?
@@FRM101there should be some extensions, before it was visible in the app.
You don't know that. I imagine there are more dislikes
The 20k figure is from the dislike database not youtube's. Imagine if the button actually showed youtube's dislike count.
@@FRM101There's browser extentions that lets you see them.
just read his biography
Most people think that they would want to be one of the richest men in the world.. but everything has its price. I wouldn’t want to be Elon Musk for anything he seems tortured, damaged and almost soulless.
I mean when you’re constantly attacked by the media and online post you would become desensitized also. That’s the only way. Most people would just hurt themselves in a bad way with so much hate against them.
Like you know.
You somehow forgot to mention community notes. Why?
Because that doesn’t take away from his point of censoring people he doesn’t like and that he loves to cave to authoritarian states
@@TKUA11 Twitter did the same except it was way worse. Lefties tasting their own medicine is a sweet feeling.
Because of Johnny Harris' bias.
Community notes is imo the greatest “innovation” for sharing and distributing news on social media.

@@azureous_akashi Welcome to the internet
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
My gut tells me Elon is saving the world from evil.
So I analyzed the sources that were provided in this video and have come noticed three facts that may be interesting.
1. The news sites which are being used as sources have got a very great track record of being left-leaning.
Not worthy Sources being:
-The Guardian
-CNN
-YahooNews
-WashingtonPost
-CBSNews
2. The study which has been shown at 30:54 states and I am quoting here:
"However, when making comparisons based on the amplification of individual politician’s accounts, rather than parties in aggregate, we found no association between amplification and party membership."
and
"Recent arguments that different political parties pursue different strategies on Twitter may provide an explanation as to why these disparities exist. However, understanding the precise causal mechanism that drives amplification invites further study that we hope our work initiates."
and
"Apart from the Home timeline, Twitter users are exposed to several other forms of algorithmic content curation on the platform that merit study through similar experiments. Political amplification is only one concern with online recommendations."
Which is something to take into consideration when regarding this study as is in this video. That this is just one aspect of algorithmic manipulation and not the only one. This does not prove there is no tampering with the algorithms, merely that this type of tampering is likely not present.
Something crucial which should be regarded when trying to make an unbiased evaluation.
3: The numbers shown at 34:10 are also taken quite out of context, let me explain:
The statement that "old Twitter" has only said yes to 50% and X has said yes to 80% of request is true, but there is another key metric here which is called "Partial". Old Twitter has accepted request partially about 47% of the time and X has allowed requests partially about 19% of the time. Omitting these numbers form the selection set is unbelievably misinformative.
Also about 85% of these requests come form Germany and Turkey. Looking into the Lumendatabase we can also see that there are no request form Turkey in the span from October 2021- October 2022 that have been fully denied by Old Twitter, but still quite a few that have only been approved partially.
This comment should reach at least a 1k likes for me to believe that, at least, this channel audience is not biased, bc this vid is almost like a blueprint for making propaganda content, a very unfair and overly biased take (and this is just fine) and trying to sell it like neutral fact based content (this is the part that is disgusting for me)
When Twitter complied, everyone was happy, X had escalating threats from governments eg E Safety Australia, EU and deliberately wanted to flex on him.
Conservative content seems to be amplified as its more logical, eg covid. Banning Trump and Peterson was absurd (Tate is a creation, filling the void created when the opposing Peterson was removed, I do have a bias for Peterson)
The left claimed, its private it can do what it wants, the moment the left lost control, they hated Elon and pushed for control.
Main point, the data is not in isolation to the social aspects around it.
Well done. Thank you for sharing❤

This needs to be pinned as top comment.

@@ancientslav4863 nope

I feels the same by the way, people overrated him and misunderstood how he got into success. He is more of a business than an inventor/thinker, he is more Edission that he is to Tesla.
And what kind of youtube content would that be? He already clickbaited you, what more do ya want?
ELON should listen to this. Send it to him. It's not going to change what we think of him. It may make hime think about himself.
How can he brag about "X" and free speech when I've already been blocked and locked out several times simply for being painfully honest and direct???
As an autistic person myself (diagnosed), I think Musk sounds like what happens when an autistic person with relatively high self focus/"other people are means" understanding (like my daughter) also is rich enough that he can get away with it, only having to care about the sanction of law, but not social rules. Most relatively severely affected autists only want to do, in fact only manage to do, what they like to do.
My daughter has a kind heart, but if she wants to spend time gaming she will not be able to take other people's plans/situations/almost anything else into account. It is not hat she doesn't care, just that the urge to do what she want to do is so much stronger. I can moderate her when necessary, but only because she has to rely on me for certain things. Musk doesn't have to rely on any specific person. He can replace them.
This also shows in how he treat his girlfriends. He is rich and single sided; either he gets it his way or they're out. They even have to sign a girlfriend contract.
He is in a position where he can't be forced out of his autistic mode, so he only gets more locked into his way being the right way, regardless of what anyone else say.
Remember; I'm an autistic person (diagnosed). I know that if we get moderated in a good way, we can learn to moderate ourselves healthily. at least to some extent. This has never happened to Musk. He doesn't moderate himself unless he sees that it would give him an advantage.

Musk isn’t an intimidating figure, yet in my opinion he can be a very dangerous if not one of the most dangerous man if shit goes down. Only thing missing is a private army and he’s literally the Atlas CEO from CoD Modern Warfare.
There’s a lot of details missing from the X/Twitter section of this video…
Not to mention missing details of the Cyber Truck and the sportster for Telsa.
Yes this is honestly pretty biased and badly researched
Yeah and how you can’t make the connection of everything he does and then buying twitter with alterior motives and naming it X is almost willfully negligent . They put it in our face. The esoteric value of X. As above so below. Triangle pointing up and triangle pointing down. There’s two X’s on your screen now. What do they do. Exit out of comments and exit out of video. So the richest man in the world whos apart of an elite club who believe the world is over populated catapults the vehicle industry into electric vehicles wants to use a company the government used to wield power?

Let him be. You wonder why he is getting crazy, imagine having the whole world attacking you? He has so many fingers in so many pies and his brain is going all the time. You can’t expect him to be perfect as we all have flaws.

Starts out the video claiming that he had been interviewing people around Elon and investigating for a few months. Then proceeds to never mention any of these interviews again and instead presents a 42 minute personal opinion piece while only presenting events that are already well documented and known to everyone. Investigative Journalists should do more than simply google a few facts and news clips.
Investigative Journalist? I didn't know he was claiming to be one. He is just a V-Logger. The last Inv Journalist are at the dying newspapers.
I just saw the podcaster being hateful to another person with no basis. Maybe jealousy or insecurity
Majority of this video was propaganda.
You make him sound like a wunderkind with an idealistic vision in the first half, when in fact he appears to have constructed a good "story" for everything he's done, which boils down to largely taking credit for the work of others and demonstrating a staggering amount of hubris. I don't disagree with your conclusion, but I think the Musk we see today was probably always there under the "aspirational" version he sells in the biogs.
