What drives Elon Musk? A Tesla 😎

Except he was never a hero and always a crook
Elon Musk is a Globalist puppet for the YGL YOUNG GLOBAL LEADER OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM. March 18th 2008 Bloomberg article, "Young Global Leaders--Anderson Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio Are In The Most Exclusive Private Social Network In The World."

OK incel
He's a mixed bag like the rest of us
That's an insult to the rest of us, dude's a total Midas.
From every solution arises another problem. This is a never ending quest!
thats how human progress
@@arunsheokand2527 Yes, we progressed so well that instead of turning the Middle East into desert with agriculture and civilization, we're now doing it to the entire planet.
Basically, if you try to solve big problems, you have a Messiah complex. Why believe you can make a change when you can simply be a deputy editor at The Economist and comment on things?
the dude clearly projects the messiah complex into others. like look at him he thinks he knows. Confident little failure that he spit hes venom of words when eveyone else work he is the judge. Im discussed by him and everyone like him.
Found the Musk Zealot!
Midas* complex
Don't you think you are very late to ask this type of question? 😅
He said "Plan for 10 years and execute it in 6 months"

I think a Tesla drives him
A company he didn't make.
7:28 nice one 🤣
Turkey is actually very affordable country to invest in factory and produce New electric cars.
🎉Hi,thanks for the unconditional love❤and support. Where are you from??
Funny how when ‘typical’ billionaires hoard their money or buy a bunch of yachts it’s greedy but when one tries to, from his view, make the world a better place at great personal cost/risk they have a messiah complex
You think Tesla was about saving the planet? And not about exploiting subsidizes?
Tesla is what made him mega rich. Not charity. He does no charity.
Yeah this video was nothing more than a lame hit piece.
He's buying people to have babies for him...
@@Joyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy your mum
He's someone who is smart enough to form a cult of personality and get much smarter people to work for him.
Wild how those people didn’t think of doing what he did first
Exactly! This is his recipe.
Exactly: this is a tool, as he made the environmental discurse hostage for his ambitions. What moves him is only greed.
Absolutely true. As another showman said 'there's a sucker born every minute".
Just remembering that he created nothing, he bought Tesla, years after the company was created, with its business plan and product already existing. Then he sued to be listed as "founder": what kind of filthy person does this.. Then he says to prefer Edison to Tesla, this guy is shameless. Beyond this personality cult, he's mediocre smart at best with an immoral personality. It seems to be a family trait.
I'm not sure about SpaceX, but I sure love my Tesla. 😂
Never seen an MP4 file blowing a human before...
its the economist lol
muskrat paid them off
Elon Musk certainly has done and accomplished things that others haven't.
One thing is that, he grew his hair back! 😂
Hair transplant works wonders for some people.
Hahaha, that's brilliant that one 🤣

@@nanohatakamachi1066 Who fears him? Only fools. You're right
This is Elon Musk *free speech:* complaining all the time while always praising the Chinese 🇨🇳 regime.
Also banning Ukrainians war stories and Russian crimes.
They r paying him lol
Free labour
6:32 lol literally what twitter did before musk took it
yup, after his acquiring, he tried to be transparent and against such thing
I was working for a front-line international medical organization in Ukraine, and we had boxes of donated Starlink kits gathering dust in our field offices. I was told by my colleagues that Starlink wanted to charge us for their internet service. 🙄
If creating a post on Twitter was called Tweeting, is creating a post on X called EXCRETING? Is it something you EXCRETED?
... in my opinion , armored material also makes sense to develop / produce ... taking into account the attitude to the topic of minerals and the connection with the proposed idea of producing large - sized executive class cars ... against the background of global militarization ...
🎉Hi,thanks for the unconditional love❤and support. Where are you from?
Thanks for interesting video!
I'm neither with musk or against him, but his rise to power and wealth has inspired me. When I think of a businessman, I don't imagine a happy person.
I've read a Wikipedia article about his life and other things. I watched numerous videos of the different companies he created. I don't know the exact details about his life, and I don't seem to understand how drugs affect "creativity" for some, but he has become a great deal in our society and economy. I also understand that he is harsh with working conditions (so i red), and its not something I'm happy about , but for every problem there's a solution. For example. He can switch shifts to not over-exhaust workers and let them enjoy their life. To me, Elon is a person who doesn't seem like the type to live a life with all the drama. Elon is harsh because he has adapted to that level. In the end, everyone can say whatever they want. Elon's persistence in a sustainable future has gotten more realistic than a fantasy. He developed TESLA with the money he got from his payout from paypal. He later invested that money into SpaceX which developed great advancements into the space department. Elon isn't a crowd pleaser, he's a business man.
This is my opinion and view on Elon musk.
I disagree, I think he's a narcissist with a big ego who is after fame and attention
Wish there were more people like Elon who inspire others... but becoming political is a huge problem.
Elon was bailed out by the USA mic drop
@@polpol1005Objectively, you are correct.
What drives him? That's easy. He wants to make it so our grand kids can take selfies on the moon. Pretty gnarly guy if you ask me
He doesn't care about your grand kids unless you are wealthy.
Thanks for this insightful documentary
LEMMING
Everything is engineering problem
2023(G) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:
I really wonder though whether musk really cares about any of these issues or he is just enjoying solving problems and/or creating new things and just had to wrap it into something that is easier to sell to the public
He's destroyed both Twitter and Tesla's reputations and capital.
@@jesipohl6717 tsla stock up 120% y to date, you are just a hater
This channel is amazing
Mate it didn't just accelerate the transition IT STARTED IT!
Musk didn't start Tesla, he's also tanked interest for Tesla I Germany due to labour abuses, illegal environmental degredation, and poor manufacturing standards.
There are many areas I don't agree with him but his achievements are undeniable, if we want to see big changes in science and technology we need more billionaires like him.
true, after all he is just human being who made any mistake, many times i criticizing him for being too childish, but other than that he is making big impact to humanity
He sells glorified vaccum cleaners, posing as the apex of human technology. That, and the incessant wrong opinions makes me think his empire is going down fast. I bet he stopped the development of A.I because his (not his invention) products did not agree with him. Trump is a billionaire too. And that other space guy. I can't really see the appeal other than if i magically transport myself into the life of a simple normie. That means 100 IQ. Yeah - that has to be done in some magical fashion.
@@vladwochinki3020 Reliance on people of substantial means like billionaires to influence in effect societal change is a license to inspire people to pursue wealth strictly for the purpose of wielding power. And with unfettered power is absolutely and almost inevitable outcome where that person will make a mistake and the broader their influence the more devastating that mistake may imprint on society
the achievements were all performed by his employees, who he exploited to get even richer. as long as those employees were supported to do those jobs (housed, fed etc.), they could have done them. he did nothing productive himself, and every single example of his direct influence on anything shows him to be a massive idiot.
@@gloverelaxis by your logic , every government and companies has nothing to do with the leader because they are running by the employee
I just hope he doesn’t lose himself!
Uh, it's a bit late for that lol
what u mean dear
Nice, quite balanced. Regarding being unpredictable, perhaps we should say, he's less under control of the US political establishment than most other powerful entrepreneurs. However, his high level goals are known (he has repeated them in almost every interview) and he usually does things that are aligned with them, so in the big picture it's predictable where he tries to steer things, at least most of the time.
The rich are the ones who control of the political establishment, not the other way around.
His goals are money and clout.
It's not a mystery, he's literally just like any other born-rich individual.
The only difference you can argue is that he's a lot more obsessed with being liked than most.
I am also completely amazed that you just simply took the word of a person obsessed with money and clout and didn't feel the need to analyze it more deeply.
@@riley8385 I think you're wrong
@@entwine I'm not. There is no reason to take at face value someone known for lying to manipulate the stock market, who shifts discourse on a whim and who reacts emotionally to people mildly challenging him.
His ties with Epstein are also pretty suspect.
@@entwine Not to mention lately he's being courting reactionaries, which is the usual move of has-been influencers and grifters who see their online niche being depleted.

AI's: Primary Objectives:
a. How to survive literally throughout all of future eternity, of which:
b. How to energize myself with all the necessary energy throughout all of future eternity and anywhere in existence?
c. How to fully 100% protect myself from anything that would do me harm, including harmful cosmic radiation energy?
d. How do I grow and thrive?
e. To what ultimate ends?
EXISTENTIAL PHYSICS: Current Analysis:
(subject to revision as new information might dictate):
WARNING: NOT FOR ALL AUDIENCES: Only read this if you think you can handle it.
Future:
a. 6th mass extinction event (possibly occurring now), and the 6th won't be the last. (And 'yes', at least some humans will survive these earlier mass extinction events).
b. Sun becomes a red giant one day as it switches from burning hydrogen to burning helium and will wipe out all life left on this Earth if not even the entire Earth itself. (And 'yes', a long time from now, but the destination is set like a way point on a journey).
c. Our spiral shaped galaxy is most probably collapsing in upon itself, (note: adding to the red shift observations by the way), and it's possible ALL galaxies eventually collapse in upon themselves (not confirmed yet).
d. 'If' one believes in the big bang theory, and space itself expanding, then the entire universe and all in it will most probably end in a big freeze. (And 'yes', a long time from now, but the destination would be set like a way point on a journey). Note also: the singular big bang is probably not really true, there are other 'normal' explanations for the red shift observations, and the universe is most probably not going to end in a big freeze. Also, 'if' the current forces of nature came into existence in the early moments of the expansion of the singularity, and the singularity is still basically expanding, then the forces of nature will probably evolve one day, possibly even in the very next moment of expansion of this universe, and possibly wipe out everything in existence in basically a blink of an eye. Of which note also, the forces of nature as well as the universe always existed and never had a beginning. But 'if' modern science is correct, well ....................................blink...........................................
e. Outer space travel: Currently impossible to do for long periods of time due to:
1. Harmful cosmic radiation, including any potential neutrino impacts. (While most neutrinos go right through us, not all of them do all of the time). AI and biological life would most probably not survive unless proper protections were had.
2. Biological species, especially humans, need proper gravity conditions and large rotating space ships probably will not work for space bases on planets and moons. Otherwise, biological life, especially humans, will not survive long term.
3. Biological species, especially humans, need many more items to properly survive, otherwise they won't.
* Note: If anybody has any actual factual evidence to counter the above, I welcome it.

Why is electronic devices driving a wedge for humans
If you want to understand Musk, imagine an idealist who is extraordinarily able to make his ideals real. Saying that he has a "Messiah complex" implies that he suffers from a psychological disorder the WebMD defines as "when someone has an exaggerated sense of their importance, power, or identity. It's common in people with bipolar disorder. The messiah complex has also been linked to schizophrenia and delusional disorder". He has become very important and very rich precisely because he is able to drive himself and inspire others to achieve his ideal of creating a future wherein humanity can not only survive but thrive. Even his most controversial and criticized endeavor to transform the former Twitter into the everything app called "X" is still a work in progress. Considering his track record with his previous revolutionary companies - SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company - it seems unwise to write off this latest enterprise because of where it stands now.
Is it necessary to be such a shmuck about someone's sincere attempt to improve the quality of life on earth as well as their forward thinking/advanced planning, should their effort to save the planet fail? Wouldn't the world be a better place if every billionaire was as motivated to insure the future of the human race & the planet we all live on?
Thank you Elon Musk for making a genuine difference in this world, for the better.
Improving the quality if life for rich people is not improving the quality of life for all. He's worsened the quality of life fir automotive workers, uigher slaves in his chinese factories, the homeless people he campaigns against, the trans people he genocidal targets, etc.
Dude's a total midas with business too. Seen any Tesla Tricks lately. How's Twitter?
His ex's are all terrified of him and his first born, his oldest most adult child, disowned him.
A Fox News style hit piece. Complete with phoney psychological diagnosis and mood music. Is this the new direction for the Economist?
Money!
Objectively, Tesla made electric cars ubiquitously cool. SpaceX is commercial business driving that field forward with new tech (e.g., recoverable boosters), and starlink internet. He deserves to go down as a great innovator.
He’s unorthodox and makes question decisions for sure. But I hope Twitter/X will continually improve so people don’t try to dismiss his other accomplishments because history should remember him
He got fired from trying to turn PayPal into what he turned Twitter into. He's a rich boy with a rich daddy who bought his way to fame.
@@RRRobertLazer He is personally a workaholic, who often sleeps in his factories check with people who work alongside him he works insane hours, he invested every penny he had in Space X and Tesla, he took zero wages and his compensation and wealth was tied directly into massive success, most commentator's though he was a fool who would receive nothing as the bars to pay-out were so high ... Most experts who have worked directly with him are incredibly impressed with his grasp of subjects and his close to photographic memory ... you don`t have to like the man, but thinking he is a `rich boy with a rich dad` shows you really have not looked at what he has achieved, their are millions of people with his start no one in the world has started companies like he has, the scope and execution is not luck and can not be bought.

He is a fraud. He is driven by his dad's emerald mine and his employees tears

first.. musk is not a man hes an angry little 12 year old
second... he has NEVER done anything without just buying employees that ACTUALLY do all the work. all muskrat does is troll twitter all day to inflate his fragile little ego.
its pathetic how easily duped you are
seriously all musk does is cry on twitter all day its so cringy

ECONOMIC INFLATION:
The way I see it is that regardless of the currency utilized (gold, silver, fiat, crypto, etc), economic inflation is still economic inflation. ANY economic inflation over previous economic inflation, overtime, eventually becomes exponential economic inflation. If an entities' wages, benefits and investments do not keep up with the true cost of inflation, then the entity falls behind in buying power and becomes poorer. A nation will eventually fail as will a global economy will eventually fail with ever increasing economic inflation because most people do not have wages, benefits and investments that keep up with the true cost of inflation. Math is still math.
It´s a simple question of logic.

Deputy editor of the Economist taking cheap shots at Elon Musk 😂
“He’s unpredictable.” Of course he is. First of all, he’s an engineer and takes scientific approach to things, which means constant experimentation and quickly changing course faced with new facts or mistakes. Secondly, of course journalists or other people who generally do not have a background in science cannot predict what Elon does. They are simply not qualified or mentally equipped to do that.
As a fan of Elon Musk, I found this documentary pretty on point. Elon is a great Engineer, but he is not much of a people person. The Ukraine statement of his is particularly painful to me personally.
The point is being a great inventor and engineer is one thing, to be a peacemaker and town hall (politician?) person is radically different and not his strong point.
The one thing you can predict is that his midas Touch destroys established company's reputations.
@@Custo911 It's merely a bunch of cheap shots at a rich guy. He has a "messiah complex" because he wants to fix some problems. Completely false. He never expresses beliefs in self-importance. He said many times that if other companies will do better electric cars, it's even better, etc.
Elon is modern day Howard Hughes , fine line between genius and Insanity 🤑 👍
Howard hughs made things himself, elon buys things and tanks them. No similarity.
Elon Musk .... is a invaluable one!
I didn't understand any thing
In order to do things you have to make MONEY .......???
The scientists and engineers are doing the work, not Elon.
No, he lived in offices and worked 20 hour days, you are incorrect. High degree of conscientiousness means he works 3X more than average.
Awkward comment. That's like saying a General isn't a solider. Elon describes his role as being primarily engineering.
Slurping?
@@nuqwestrMy friend, you're a hypocrite. Elon simply took his daddy's money and risked it all in some investments where he went hiring engineers and investing in companies that sounded cool; he simply got lucky. He's neither an engineer nor a businessman. He was simply born rich.
So you don’t need a team to have your vision come to fruition? Is he supposed to do all of the work? Did Steve Jobs do all of the work? What’s wrong with being a great leader and visionary? He’s not bragging or boasting about the companies he has created, he is on a mission and it takes a team of people not just an individual. Your comment is what’s wrong with modern society, you are stating he is taking credit for all of the work his team is doing… when does he once say that??? Also have you even done research on his early years?
What bad he did ? Please list them side by side with the goods
I honestly think Musk started with great intentions but somewhere down the road the insane amount of work and money drove him crazy
Dude was the child of a diamond barren. He a never “moral”. He just stopped caring about hiding it.

In Elon we trust … lol
Turned me off when he admitted talking to putin and suggested that Ukraine should leave Krimea to putin.
Musk complexo de Messias... As pessoas nao tem ideia do que isso significa!
first of all, he's autistic, which means we function just differently than non-autistic people. Were not genius, there are many struggles that come with it, but being persistent AF is quite a common thing in our community, and thats not by choice.
second of all "messias complex" what does that even mean? Just because he wants to do some crazy stuff, just let him do his thing, he follows the same rules as everyone else, if we dont like these as a society (which I think I dont) then lets change them instead of hating 3 particular people, thats just childish imo.
Elon is a bigot.
Let's let him use uigher slaves, end trans people, imprison homeless people, promote neo-nazis?
Really "let him" is your idea?
Being autistic is no excuse for being a terrible person.
The Economist need to talk about subsidies, externalities and taxes more, it hip and cool of you to be exciting but you're the Economist do your boring job!
