Muskonomics: Cooking at home is cheaper than eating out.
Mockingbirds yes
And usually more healthy as well
Wtf he can go out with his rocket 😀 That's not cheap
growing/hunting your own food and cooking at home is even cheaper.
Yes, if you're a chef. Otherwise restaurants will probably make your food better and faster. These are also factors.
*“imagine a $2,000 car”* ok
*“imagine a $100 laptop”* ok
*“imagine a $70 iphone”* whoa now let’s be realistic here
WTD Productions lol right
Chromebooks only cost $200, I believe. I can't quite remember because mine has served me dutifully about 4 years now.
It is sad because the last one are the most realistic and some companies already done that.
+Weird RUclips Name Whoa! Your name is so weird!
IPhones go the other way. In 20 years IPhones will cost $10,000.
As of May 2019, the reusable rocket setup has reduced costs to 57 million per launch.
Do you have a source for that? I found 62 million per launch on the low end and 90 million per launch on the high end
That's awesome, ty
John Kumor thats still cheaper than 99% of other rocket companies
@@carso1500 99? more like 100% because it is the cheapest..
@@johnkumor6045 Do *you* have a source for that?
"Governments don't care about price since it's not the decision maker's money."
You said it perfectly.
@DEMS He meant that governments don't think twice when it comes to spend too much in whatever because that money is not theirs, the money is in fact yours, and from your parents and siblings when you pay taxes. The important thing here is that people usually try to make the best decision to make the most profit with the money when they earned that money and it costed them a lot of hard work. You see that doesn't happen with any public officer in the world as they never pay from their own pocket.
@@raphoperleche5401 In context it's more to say the government needs the satellites, so they'll pay whoever is launching satellites however much they ask for. it's not about money it's about the satellite.
@@scinary7052 It's totally truth. Yet, an important point here is that it took not too long before Elon and his company could find a way to cut costs when governments didn't. I don't believe it's entirely their fault as a government's goal is to spend and a private company's is to stay profitable. You see, when the private sector's got innovation as a guideline it can really make everyone's life better, even for the public sector :)
JT ok now your just tying your own economic beliefs to xenophobia
Rapho Perleche not entirely but sure
Elon musk is not trying to go to Mars.. he's trying to go home.. Go Elon!
I literally laughed out loud
F-ing hilarious
Nice.
i follow him there as a stowaway
LmfO
Just gave up buying a car
I'm going to start building one right now
How's your progress so far?
we need updates
I know it is a joke but making a car would be more expensive than buying one. However making a lot of cars (thousands- hundred thousands) would be cheaper than buying (thousands- hundred thousands) of cars.

This is such a good example of clicking on a video just for something to watch, to later realise that the video is actually good.

Meh. It isn't econ. I was looking for a video about economics not a vid that kisses some billionaire's butt every third sentence using robot voices.
i had this saved in my watch later for at least a year lol
In 2017: "Tesla doesn't produce its own batteries"

Time to buy a trip to mars
@CanadaCommunity Org u need help friend
Elon musk is not trying to go to Mars.. he's trying to go home.. Go Elon!
TBH, for a tiny cubesat, the price is pretty achievable. If instead of buying a car you wish to send that money into space... It's pretty doable. But you'd need a bunch of people willing to send them, since SpaceX only does 200 kg or more, for 1 million dollars. So you'd have to split it up between a bunch of space nerds and a bunch of cubesats in one payload.
Me eaither
Musk on 2008 : need funds..
NASA: Ima help this guys career...
Insane
Don’t know what the deal is with all the planes comments, I liked it when you did loads of aviation related videos, but I like any other category of video you do too! Do what you like and I’ll watch it.
I think it's an inside joke.

He was in one of the iron man movies 🤷
@@IamRanJos Unlike Iron Man he didnt invent anything though.
@@richardpower6516 if you look it that way then they have many differences tho, but he the closed person you can call real life ironman
You trying to tell me that Elon Musk is gradually building a company that can send anything into space under the false pretext of Mars exploration, while in the meantime he's using the scientists from SpaceX and Tesla to design his personal, orbital defence system which he'll use to subjugate the planet and thus create the First Galactic Empire?
Fast internet tho.
wait wut?
I would support our First Emperor Musk of the great Galactic Empire, would you?
DelToro Perdedor all hail Lord musk! :)
with the job the flipping politicians are doing I'm thinking might be worth a shot. but ill also say I'm really pissed at politicians the fault lies with us the electorate, we need to hold the politicians to task. I've talked to my local federal representative 5 times in the last 7 years, the last time to tell her I'm not voting for her in the last federal election with a list of unkept promises and poor behaviour of why. imagine if even a 1000 other people did the same. What I heard from family and friends was "oh we have to vote for her, what if the other guy gets in .. it will be so much worse". uneducated and unwilling to participate in the process is why politics is so fricked these days.. think about it.
We musk call it...
Elonomics.
Noah E. cringe
just stop...
Nice one.
That actually makes sense.
by the Elongated Muskrat himself
Revisiting the 1st Wendover video I ever saw! For whatever reason this was in my feed way back in 2017 and I fell in love!
Nice plugging at the end. Very smooth.
I wish Elon musk could live upto 200 years
Maybe he'll figure out a way to do just that. :) Problem is he doesn't want to be here that long.
Justin Lewis
He wants other people to have a chance dummy !
Oh he will, you just wait. And so will the rest of us. In fact, 200 years is just the beginning.
CockatooDude
*Mate he's 47 and he's probably going to live until 80 or 90 of he's lucky , plus he has health issues and he works too dam hard sooo rip*
He wants us to finish the job
@@Proger-sj8cj Elon is 47 and early generation life extension technologies will probably be available within 15-20 years. Those should boost average lifespans by about 10-20 percent, and given that the whole medical field of aging is so interconnected, it is likely that there will be a quick succession of new technologies that come out after the first one, say within 5 to ten years, each one increasing lifespan by at least 10 percent, by the time all of these come out Elon might very well be in his 80's, but by then the life expectancy for him will probably be about 250 or so. Now I made a lot of assumptions here, but I do have facts to back them up. If you are interested, look into the SENS research foundation, they have identified 7 main causes of aging and solutions for all of them that we can achieve with current or near current technology, and are actually working on solving these issues, it's a great time to be alive.
Oh Lord, Elon Musk is so ambitious! I cannot imagine all of these things happening, but I hope that he will be successful. Best of Luck to Elon Musk!
While he might be over ambitious and some of his ideas seem wacky, I'd hope we all wish him luck but also choose to support his efforts. He's a great example of a Gen-Xer who made his millions via a successful internet startup (Paypal) but then chose to re-invest them to try to change the world. He makes Bill Gates look lame! We need more businessmen like him.
He's insane. He's the true real life superhero/supervillain. And yes i think he will go to Mars.
No one makes Bill Gates lame! Musk choose to go to space, Gates chose to make life on earth better. Both of them are exceptional examples of humans.
modisp No, they're not. They're both trying to improve things, which is good, but that doesn't make them exceptional. Also, Musk is more ambitious than Gates in this respect. When you consider he's one of the richest men in the world as well as the head of Microsoft for decades now, Gates' impact has been mediocre by comparison.
TheShreester like you’ve done something to improve human life?
Footnote to this video 2.4 years later. SpaceX is now talking maybe having StarLink separate and holding an IPO. Making the satellite internet company public, while keeping SpaceX private.
Seems to fit with this videos take on Musk's economics.
Five years ago, Wendover was singing praises about Elon Musk, can't believe this is the same guy who ran Twitter as a shitshow
In fact, Musk's first college degree is in Economics, from the University of Pennsylvania.
Wrong. His first degree is from queens university
Yes. Wharton at penn. Same as Trump.
And he got 99/100 and asked his professor where did the other 1 mark go.
More like penny sylvania
Wasn’t his first degree in physics and the second one in economics ?
1:53 I realy thought that there would be a RealLifeLore video too.

U r doing guys AMAZING JOB. Its not just about video is informative, its also QUALITY. And i just fall in love 😍 with your channel. I happy that i found it. Woooow! Keep it up your work. And never plz Change your QUALITY OF YOUR VIDEOS for another thing. SO LIT!!!!!
So its the only truly American made car.
guys this channel has been hacked. This video isn't about planes!
Tell Me This 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean...... Rockets fly dont they?
Yeah well it talks about spacex. Spacex launches rockets into space. To get to space it has to travel through the atmosphere. Planes must travel through the atmosphere. Therefore it's all okay and he hasn't been hacked.
SpaceX's BFR may replace some planes in the future, so it kinda is. I'd love Wendover talking about the BFR.
BFR the next evolution of Passenger Jets.
Hey, you ever thought of doing a video about Operations Research? Since OR is important in making scheduling decisions like in the Airline industry, it might be a good general topic for you to explore.

@@Barskor1 Musk is a capitalistic socialist! Who also believes in Democracy! Just look at how he pays his employees with stock options which is a socialistic idea. They become part owners in the means of production!
@@sandrabayes7986 Well by that logic every upper management person of every corporation is socialist Walmart is socialist etcetera.
Imagine if every youtube video had this quality over them.
Uhmm no entertainment? and High stress level?
Well this video is just a giant PR stunt for SpaceX.
What a huge nightmare. Its sad how well people take videos so poorly researched.. There is info here that is outdated by as much as 5 years (Battery cost), there are straight lies (50 Million Clients = 30B a year, this is insulting) and a bunch of misleading statements (about all car companies, including Japanese and korean, build the US version in US Mexico and Canada).
Basically even when he got correct a number, it was incorrect in his context. The value of that specific satelite was correct, but instead of talking about the rockets weight he talked all that section of the video as if the cost was in measure of launch. There is no information when you compare the value of launch, what are you launching, what is the payload capacity of your rocket??? And by the way the value of launch will still increase, because they are making a larger rocket, but the value per payload (Kg) is decreasing and that is what Elon is trying to get down.
Well at least gets people interested.
I had to stop watching his stuff for that reason. He often say one easy fact followed by an incorrect assumption. All of his videos are this bad, I really wish he would get a fact checker or something as he is helping people learn false things.
there was a lot of bullshit here though, watch thunderfoot video on elon musk and falcon 9.
4:13 The less than symbol is the wrong way around.
Yeah it should be the other way. My OCD kicked in
just saw it and checked the comments for someone who noticed it as well
It was not to show values but desicions
well at 1:54 he did say he was an economics expert and not someone who can actually math like an engineer, physicist or mathematician
pretty sure thats not an excuse but he prolly just made a mistake
The element that makes this video go through the roof in quality is the information density.
"Tesla is bringing the cost of lithium cells down below $100/kwh"
5 years later: lithium cells still cost around $1000/kwh when I try to buy them
I will buy internet from Elon!
yea screw the overs who have treated us well with internet we want rocket satlite internet
I will too when it comes down in price! $450 plus $80-$90 monthly. Maybe when I get my CyberTruck?
Did you get it?

This is my favourite video on RUclips, it has inspired me to become interested in economics and finance
My favourite channel making an episode about Elon Musk, how nice!
He's South African...
This channel sucks half the time and just copies other videos with slight variations and animations.
It's time for a refresh of this video. Sam, you nailed it.
RUclips can’t stop recommending this to me, despite having watched it twice already
why are people in comment section demanding a planes video
Just look trough his videos, and count the amount of videos he's made about planes, and the economics of aviation xD It's good stuff
Someone isn't part of the Wendover culture
He's been mostly making videos about some topics that involved planes, and amusingly often managed to squeeze a reference to planes in non-plane related videos.
It's a common joke on this channel that something must be wrong if there are no planes involved ;)
Because WP does a lot on planes
ok found it
This is a great video. You did mention that the SpaceX lines are "highly automotized". I'd say "automated" would be a better word there.
The guy is no angel. He really covers up his involvement in the huge flops in Neuralink, Boring company, starlink, and hyperloop
This was so informative! Thank you!
Elon Musk truly is a modern day Tony Stark.
He was the inspiraton for the Ironman movies, actually.
uhhh... dudes Tony Stark is sort of a dick with an ego bigger than his head... go read the comics...
watch any video of musk's ex wife talking about him and you'll see they're kind of the same person
What promises has he made that were impossible??
How?
Haha price inelastic market
I know what that is, thank you GCSE economics!
bittewarten lol my school doesn’t offer that
Very smooth transition into making the product sale.
Vertical integration is a good way to cut costs, to a point. A company has to remember what their core competency is, and what the economics of scale are. If other companies are better at making batteries, or rocket engines or other highly specialized components, it often makes sense to buy those from someone else. The same is true if you are using a relatively small number of the components compared the the total industrial demand.
The real reason Musk is able to make rockets at a much lower cost is that he is being motivated by the free market and real competition. Historically, when the NASA, the government, was the only one making rockets, they had zero incentive to make sure they were inexpensive. Likewise, the government contractors have zero incentive to cut costs or be efficient in their operations. It's amazing what can happen when the profit motive is allowed to work.
Well also Elon had both the capital & secondary business to become his own customer for SpaceX launches. The Starnet mini-satelite launches guarantee the production line will stay spinning & ensure that they are up to scale for their cheap prices.
Being your own customer can be useful.
4:14 the inequality sign is incorrect. "to drop the price below $100/kWh". currently showing as "greater than".
check again
I definitely shows greater than...
I thought i was seeing stuff
Indeed, the video shows above 100 USD/kWh
OwnerOfOwn left facing is greater than
Shut up and take my money. But really though. Can't SpaceX just open a Patreon account? I bet lots of people would want to contribute. I want to see people living on Mars.
Elon has way more money than he will ever generate on patreon lmao
I guess that's a good thing but I can't help feeling a tiny bit of disappointment at not being able to help :)
Feynstein 100 go work there...that's what I'm doing. Love it.
+Tucker Lol thanks but I don't see myself working as an engineer.
The idea that you want to personally contribute to a company's financials already exists, and it's called the stock market. You can buy a literal portion of the company Google. They get your money, and you get some returns based on their performance. It makes sense that you wanna contribute, but when the big financial phalluses get swinging, they'll want both returns on their investment and control over what their money is used for. So he has to avoid it to keep his personal vision at SpaceX.
We need more channels like this!
Thank you for sharing this useful data! Greatly appreciated.
It is worth every second to wait two weeks for your videos!

This video changed my mind on alot of issues.
"he`s not necessarily trying to do something new, he`s trying to do something right "
And failing.
@@Gambit771 how?
@@nigelwest5776 Look at the tunnels cancelled from the boring company.
The one they did open is under capacity, doesn't have autonomous buses or pods as called them but drivers in Tesla's.
They don't take you on a moving platform and like promised.
In other areas for boring he promised those moving platforms (which still aren't in city centre bar his test ones) to carry your car but now it is stabilisers on your car which severely slows down the speed.
He said the bricks made from boring the tunnels would be sold cheap to make low income housing but that never happened.
He was supposed to have taken NASA astronauts into space in 2014 but didn't build his rocket so NASA had to delay and spend billions more on making their own rocket.
His satellites are having far too many near collisions.
People that do use his satellite internet struggle if it is windy or too hot. They aren't getting the speeds promised.
His solar roof tiles company still isn't up and running like it should be and cost too much for those that have it with the usual questions over quality.
Has he given up on hyperloop?
He promised would of 700mph but the prototype tunnel he has, the only one he has, barely reaches 60 if I remember correctly.
You'd want to double check that speed.
Look up his stance on covid.
He's a charlatan that over promises and under delivers and believes his own hope with actual engineers doing all the work, work he doesn't understand and in a lot of cases doing good work but because the expectations and promises are too high they'll never be able to do what he has promised which will make them look incompetent.
@@Gambit771 So not delivering on every promise yet and solving all the worlds problems makes a failure? I can't think of many people having as much positive impact as him personally. Also stance on covid is irrelevant I don't know or care what his is because that's not his area of expertise.
@@nigelwest5776 Not delivering on any promise and what world problem has he solved?
Still have pollution, poverty, inequality, hunger, abuse, disease and so on.
By your own rubbish he's a failure.
Solving all the world's problems, 🤦♂️, do you fangirls really believe that bullshit without questioning it?
Prove to me that he's solving all that I've listed?
He certainly isn't solving the disease bit given his stance on covid so that's why that is important.
Underpaid employees also helps in lowering costs
Very few critical comments on this video, I tip my hat to you for seeing past the propaganda (or publicity).
but if elon musk consider space vacation, it will be big market, and starting the trend for rich people to buy it, and make space vacation more friendly
Takes enough of the rich early adopters to bring the initial income in before it becomes economical to market it more widely. Has always been the case, yes.
Mite be the first time something dangerous is tested on the rich
But really, are space vacations that appealing? Yeah, floating about will be fun for a few days, but after that there's nothing for a tourist to do, exept come back down. And, as the most expensive parts are sending people up and bringing them down, short stays are bad for buisness.
Robbie James but they can make some tourist destinations on mars for people to enjoy right?
Lol. The transition in the last was nice.i will definitely consider hover to buy a domain.
Phenomenal video. Great job 👍😊
Elon Musk is one of the greatest promoters of innovation in the world.
Yes. He invented the reusable rocket, and the tunnel, the electric car and the electric train. He is a genius.
You're an idiot. All of those things existed before elon musk was born.
@Yolo 2.0 Wow. That was just entirely necessary. With defenders like you, Elon needs more critics.
Wheels Lifts Hmmmm heads up dipshit, but he didn’t say Musk invented anything.
@Anant Tiwari that's an opinion. Not a fact.
@Teringventje that doesnt make Elon musk a genius inventor though, is my point
The process of SpaceX and Tesla producing parts internally is called "vertical integration" - sort of like a produce stand growing its own crops. It is more efficient for Tesla in the long run to make the investment in the manufacturing equipment vs buying at a higher premium
But it does open you up to anti-trust legislation later on. Vertical integration on that scale is allowed today but companies that used to own their whole from Mine to Manufacturing to Sales were broken up.
American aerospace companies also followed this practise back in the 1970s , i heard. They made almost every component of commercial airlines in house. Now, they sub contract most of the parts and only perform the final assembly in their factories, as it is cheaper. How is this not the case for tesla?
Wendover has the highest level of explanation, thank you!!!
PS. Very interesting channel, by the way! - thumb up & subscribed. Thank You!

@Anant Tiwari none of what you said invalidates the fact that space travel could become impossible.
And last I checked, establishing a wired internet connection is is more than possible, since most of the world has it.
Starlink is an idiotic idea
An updated version would be great!
Very nice video man.
I work for Elon, I am an engineer who often contributes to Neuralink's manufacturing. This video actually explains a lot about how and why things are done.
The other reason that SpaceX had their office and plant in US was that US regulation dictate that each worker in Space progam company must be US citizen
This is would not be plus for SpaceX lmao
Wendover + RealLifeLore = ideal crossover
Nice seeing real life lore in a wendover video
Elon Musk is visionary person, if he thought only about money we wouldn't see electric cars on the road
according your analogy, the people who created rc cars with brushless motors are about 10x smarter than elon musk.
I mean he might not ONLY think about money but yeah its mostly about money.
This is by far the most interesting and informative vlog I've seen in a long time. You've covered key points in Musk's economic priorities and I feel I've really learned something that makes sense. Thank you very much.
That's cause it isn't a vlog (which means a video log of a day or journey, like a lifestyle RUclipsr). It's just a video.
How awesome are these videos!

The 400M USD per ULA launch is only corrent for the Delta IV heavy, a much more capable rocket than F9. Regular Atlas launches are in the range of 100-200M USD.
Dan Heřt they also have Russian engines which cant be used since sanctions against Russia.
Atlas V is also still too expensive for commercial as well.
"They don't care about price nearly as much as people since it's not the decision makers' money." xD
awesome video!
It's really cool to see this advanced American manufacturing.
"below $100/kwh" should be written
< $100/kwh.
No, it should be written "< $100/kWh"
@Lynstaor $100 per kelvin-something-henry...right.
Love it! Made perfect sense 😀 Go Elon!
I can't seize to be impressed by that Falcon landing footage. It's something that seems so simple, but was not possible until computing power got as powerful as it is now. I am still amazed.
Just like I was amazed by the Segway when it came. So simple, right? And now we have like the Boston Dynamics uncanny-valley -bots because of that computational sensor monitoring balance stuff. Amazing all of it.
Very interesting vid, and I love's Elon Musk's mindset: u have a dream and u work to give urself the means to reach it.

Visionary entrepreneurship
