He is a genius. He's conned countless people into giving him money.
and the government.
That would mean Trump is more of a Genius than sucking hundreds of millions from voters and never having to pay it back. I guess they forgot to read the fine print when donating and handing over 85% of their donation to a management company, not the GOP. We know who that management company is.
is it possible hidden bribes are behind the willingness of the us government giving him money?@@petitio_principii
That's not a sign of his genius, though, but one of a shortage of such in large parts of society.
He reminds me of Hitler.
That comment where he claims to know more about manufacturing than anyone on Earth has to be my favorite Musk clip. It just so brazen. Theres no way it could even be true and he gets 0 pushback from anyone within miles.
An assembly line working stiff at ford in 1922 had more practical manufacturing knowledge than musk the blowhard.
Money buys silence, never respect.
Nah he gets a tonne of pushback, that's why he bought Twitter and immediately destroyed it. Now only the other 60,000 Elon Musks with blue ticks get that abuse :) And as they claim, I am sure EVERY SINGLE ELON in that 60K is the real Elon.
That BD robotic stuff is pretty impressive, ngl.
Like his fans, he doesn't see the difference between his person and the companies that tolerate him for his money and ability to get money from dumb people. His companies collectively know a lot. And he got to walk through their buildings and talk to the smart people and fire the mean ones.
Elon is a master example of the Dunning-Kruger effect, everything is easy and simple when you have surface understanding of it
Elon must have the greatest PR team in existence. How this guy became a thing? I'll never know.
The word is "gullability". There is a reason Musk moved to the US.
He did, but he fired them in 2020.
@@stevenvanhulle7242 Our economy runs on gullibility.
Never underestimate the snowball effect.
There doesn't have to be anything special about a particular flake of snow, but once a ball starts rolling it just keeps getting bigger. No reason, just luck.
The mainstream media jumped on him, the Reddit Musk-simp-army jumped on him, all the delusional fake tech youtubers started jumping on the bandwagon because of all the hype they knew they could get views from it, and that in turn generated more hype of course, and so it goes on.
You get a million very rich kids with entrepreneur ambition, no morals, and full of bullshit; and chances are one of them will become a sensation.
The same as every dictator, just without the murder
“Musk’s lifelong love of inventing things that already exist”
Should be on his gravestone
He should invent his own tombstone.
I could see him do it.... just casually going about his day being interviewed and suddenly he drops the bombshell when saying he's designing his underground afterlife-chamber and calls it some fancy name like the Mancompost-chamber, or politically correct Personcompostor. Available with or without ashtrays for the smoker/non-smoker that may be using the facilities. Complete with daycare and a coffeemachine, solarpowered. Yea.
@@Yezpahr But at the unveiling it's just a gravestone... with galaxy lights!
@@youtubeaccount6235😂😂😂....gold...
Einstein turns in his grave so hard, His tomb stone achieved fully self driving status.
@@youtubeaccount6235 The cherry on top.
Judging by his track record, it's also possible it will never leave the simulation room and he just uploads his conscience to it to live out his digital life there as an AI overlord .... with galaxy lights!
I think people are a bit hard on Elon sometimes. He's destroyed Twitter _way_ faster than most people thought he would.
It was really impressive. Crazy how he still has fans that think he is smart after all of this.
Atleast one good thing he has done for the world.
Some of us are still disappointed that he only sold the Twitter brand and the signs - he should have sold the entire thing and washed his hands of it.
Shutting down Twitter is like 9999% more popularity.
Replacing it with X is like pitchfork shares just doubled, and there is a large crowd outside your window. He's so cringey and needy - that's why he needs Twitter. He just wanted to be loved!!! Awwwwwww.
But he's a total idiot, I guarantee you that is the true reason he is never married or with anybody. The circuit of millionaire bitches KNOW that he's a twat.
@@GameTimeWhy His fans don't think he is smart. They think he is God
Giving us Community Notes and paying Twitter content creators for some of the value they create is destroying it?
If Elon knew more about manufacturing than anyone else on Earth, he would fully understand the importance of safety lines in a factory, and how disliking the color yellow is not in any way a valid reason to ignore a necessary safety feature.
Literally anybody has ideas.
Literally any kid has bizarre revolutionary ideas.
Lot of kids are making cars at the age of 8, literally.
Lot of kids make simple video games.
The difference is who has billions and a PR team.
Any kid - hey, why we don't put a giga rocket inside a giga pipe and make it go giga fast... We can take cars, put them on a train, we can put the train inside a pipe, put rockets on the pipe, make it consume carbon dioxide and create gold out of it. Then send robot workers to the moon. Convert the Moon in a big machine, put engines on it and fly with the moon to Mars.
It is hard to tell - is a grown up billionaire speaking or a little kid from first grade.
Yellow make mad. Elon smash puny yellow. Rocket science make Elon strong.
Don't you know? Musk can't be in Yellow Face's light. No, not at all. And lost his Precious.
@@MarkAspen_
> is a grown up billionaire speaking or a little kid from first grade.
I mean, you're not wrong, but aren't all of us adults not still little kids in big bodies and with more responsibility? :) The main difference is that we're not continuously asked to voice our ideas in front of the entire world. If so, there would be plenty of clips around of us saying stupid stuff.
I guess the main difference is that to us, that thought isn't worth the money that it could bring.
Imagine calling a Snake Oil salesman a "genius". Truly something else.
i mean, if a snake oil salesman is being called a genius, he is very good at his scamming job.
@@Rustylorde Nah it just means there's way too many legit idiots in this world who believe anything anyone with power has to say. I mean Snake Oil salesman worked in the Wild West because people were real stupid back then. And it has been proven that a good chunk of people are just as dumb now as they were back then.
It made him billions. He had the right kind of oil at the right time.
@@Rustylordeyes scammers make money, is that your point?
@@TheTuttle99 yes, it is.
Elon is the embodiment of the H.L. Mencken quote: "For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."
Spot on!
When he said "I know everything there is to know about manufacturing"... so did Henry Ford, in fact his company created the model you are now using to do said manufacturing 😂😂
😂😂😂
waiting for musk to call himself chief neuro scientist of neura link 😂😂
Then why is he so serially successful? How is he the wealthiest man in the world? Why is his company launching rockets to the ISS? Why does his company have over 5,000 satellites in orbit?
Do you genuinely think the boards of his various companies are keeping him around to skim profits and take credit? You're utterly delusional, and it's so cringeworthy.
"He created Blastar, which started his life-long love of inventing things...... that already exist" LMAO
Especially coming from Captain Kirk!
Elon Musk is basically the level 10 evolution of a callcenter agent selling mobile plans to elderly people.

This is so insanely accurate.
Or every software developer I've ever met... they are all knowing geniuses walking amongst us pathetic mere mortals.
lmao
@BillClinton228 We're not all like that😢😢
But yeah there is a narcissism problem among software developers.
I know for a fact, that a lot of the higher ups in Space-X are leaving for other companies. That company is going to rot from the inside out 💀
SpaceX has to follow Nasa rules is the only reason it's working. Tesla & Boring don't, & they're no doing so well under Mr. I know everything about everything so I toot my own horn constantly.
Calling Musk the Nikola Tesla of our generation is a massive insult to Nikola Tesla, who was not only an amazing inventor, but also a great humanitarian, two things Musk is quite decidedly not.
He knew what he was doing when he bought Tesla off Martin Eberhart.
Rubbed his hands and was like I give this guy money and all his work now was done by me.
THE GREAT GENIUS OF OUR TIME ...... Melonheaddddd Muuuuuusssskkk!
Yes, but musk is the biggest conman ever.
Sadly, Tesla turned into a crackpot in his later years...and it would be fair to say that Musk is and has been a crackpot. They do have that in common.
he has much more in common with eddison than with tesla, clearly.
Definitely. Both were/are shameless self-promoters. Neither is shy about badmouthing the competition in public. Both given to bombastic displays.@@mrlaz9011
Realistically, Musk isn't the only problem. It is the sycophants that melt over whenever money walks into the room.
They're desperately hoping some of his wealth will somehow rubb off on them, if they shove their noses far enough up his behind.
Steve Jobs died. They had to latch onto another snake oil salesman. lol
i dont even think its the sycophants. the real problem is the people who enabled musk to become succesful and claim billions in government grants.
The real problem is we did away with critical media and regulation. It's a free for all for con men now. Griftonomics.
@@swordmonkey6635jobs was a much better showman and didn’t do things like trail off at the end of sentences when he knew he was speaking bs. Plus i still use my 2005 iPod video practically every day! At least thats one new concept he came up with an actually brought it to market quickly and revolutionize the way to listen to music to this day. Please don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to defend Jobs and I’m not a fan boy. I stopped buying new MacBooks years ago. But at the risk of sounding like a fanboy again I will say that I’m still using my 2014 MacBook Air because it does everything I needed it to and it’s still works. I don’t think anyone will have these types of thongs to say about musk 20 years after his death. It’s the talented group of people that worked for Apple that were able to build these products and bring them to market and do a very good job at it (even 😢if they are super expensive). Those are the people I am a fanboy of, not jobs.
Musk is absolutely the greatest snake oil salesman of our generation 👏 🙌 😂
Elon is confused. Manufacturing is making things... his specialty is making up things.
It’s called hype manufacturing, I mean hyper manufacturing, I mean giga bullshitting, … I mean hyperbole…
The fact that a rail line was installed through the Hyperloop test track is pure gold.
I thought it was ironic too😂
it really is 🤣 potent symbolism irl
And these same people were thinking Japanese maglevs was a bad idea. The Japanese are almost nearing the completion of their project despite the delays and these hype fans of hyper loop have just now realized how much more realistic and economically traditional high speed trains are compared to Hype loop.
It's a small branch line for freight only because we're still waiting for tesla semi convoys that beats rails :P
And more ironic? It goes to some aerospace maintenance facility, ie a distant competitor of space X.... XD
Say's the guy whos never worked in R&D, has no formal engineering education, and has never heard of "prototyping" before. Sounds like a guy that preorders half finished video games and is happy about micro transactions.
As a licensed profession electrical engineer who has spent over a decade now focused on industrial automation (primarily in the manufacturing space), it irks me to no end to hear him say that he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else alive. He would struggle to troubleshoot even a single loose wire in one of the controls panels; I bet I have coop students who know more about the implementation of his facility than he does. He knows that metal goes in and cars come out. How is that "knowing" manufacturing? Some of us are out here designing, installing, and troubleshooting full systems. Holy smokes. I'm fired up now.
"Vacuum Tube with an Airhockey Table" just about sums it up.
@@Gunni1972why didn’t he get more backlash on that? Saying its a retarded statement would be an insult to retards.
he only pushes ppl like yourself to do the best and claims its his accomplishement.. he ends up in jail like that theranos Jobs wannabe.. itll take one more decade unfortunately
@@Gunni1972but he sweared it not that hard😂😂😂
Just to get an idea how complex manufacturing a car is: we have entire research institutions that research how to better machine parts, what surface conditions machining leaves behind and how it affects the final product; and these mainly do this for the car industry.
Elisabeth Holmes is in jail. Elon is still free.
Amazing!
The Ponzi scheme hasn't run out of investors yet, but with Tesla already having showing weakness in growth the end could happen sooner than later.
My Uncle works at a car dealership. They laugh the pants off themselves every time they sell a Tesla 😂😂😂
Tesla doesn't sell through dealerships.
@@jimdietrick1681 old Tesla from second hand does
Elon musk just always comes over as the monorail guy from simpsons...
But with way less charisma, and a pathological need to be seen as cool, even though... you know.
Tesla is supposed to be an electric car company, but it's actually powered by hot air.
Maybe Elon should 'invent' the hyperbloon (hot air bloon) to use all that currently wasted hot air
And valued like a tech company.
This is a master-class in academic jealousy.
Where is Thunder’s car company?
Where is Thunder’s rocket company?
Where is Thunder’s media company?
Where is Thunder’s robot company?
Where is Thunder’s satellite constellation?
The truth is - Thunder is a complete failure, still ranting in his mother’s basement. While Musk has outclassed 70 years of NASA technology, in just 15 years. A private company, with a rocket twice the size of the Saturn-5.
Thunder is not a white guy, within modern intersectionalism, he is green all over.
R.
At Tesla, he's best known for walking around and firing people at random, then bragging about it on Twitter. At SpaceX, he expects salaried people to work double-shifts and not get extra pay. It sure would be great to work for him.
@@RalphEllisIt's not jealousy, it's just clearing the smokescreen that is Elon's ridiculous statements. I think if he reigned in some of his ludicrous statements and gave realistic timelines and data from day 1 then I wouldn't be questioning some of the things he says and then coming over to a TF video.
Personally I think the only thing that Musk has really done "well" is Space X falcon rockets and he sells a lot of cars - but majority of the statements he has made about these years ago haven't come to fruition. I mean, where's everyone's cybertrucks?.....
I just think he's a master Ponzi salesman who over hypes things for investment and money and doesn't always deliver on what he says.
Elon saying he was too smart for his teacher sounds like Tate saying he's too smart for books.
Geniuses are buIIled in school.
The masses would never like a real genius.
But the masses love the idea of just anybody who lacks any talent becoming the richest person in the world and self proclaiming a genius.
It is like when in the 90s kids were saying - Mom, look how many billionaires quit university. I don't need to study, mom.
They have a lot in common 😂
"I think............... I............................ know more................... about manufacturing of anyone............................................................................. currently alive on Earth."
@@MarkAspen_ LOL, so true.
Elon's father said in an interview that he doesn't understand why so many people think Elon is so smart because he knows Elon isn't any smarter than just about anybody out there. I agree with Elon's father.
If we have to rely on Elon, I don't think we have to worry about the robot uprising from _I, Robot,_ let alone _The Terminator._
Please don't joke about I, Robot this Christmas.
Boston dynamics got it covered it seems
The fact that they cut the hyperloop in half to make room for a train track is hilarious.
After all these years, the hero worship directed at him shows that social engineering is his real forte.
I love the part at 0:47 where the narrator got the fact right when he stated Elon Musk would go onto his lifetime love of inventing things that already existed....LOL
f there's one thing I took away from this video, it's that I forgot how cool Boston Dynamics' robots are.
yeah its crazy they made those robots so many years ago while the tesla robot can barely walk in a strait line
That's because they are engineers working in a focused manner for a long time.
So much of the ridiculous dance some of these robots were doing clearly looked like cheap CGI, not all of it, but a good chunk
unless you are a Palestinian. IYKYK
My mom was always telling me - 'Be proud of what you have accomplished not of what you plan to acomplish'.
I accomplished your mom.
His mom must have told him "Be proud of what you pretend to accomplish"
Well you can be proud of yourself for wanting to accomplish a great feat and working towards it, many won't, even put their lives towards it. However if you want to "brag" then I guess do it about stuff you've accomplished. However you have every right to be proud of yourself for pursuing hard goals. Something I'm certain none of you have done. You play life on easy mode and judge others.
@@goodfty That's what the Borg do, "you must assimilate ".
@@goodfty Nonsense. Pursuing hard goals and constantly failing them is nothing to be proud of. It's clear case of Dunning-Kruger effect. And it is exactly why people like you love to be proud of it - you have no abilities but you have need for being recognized.
Meanwhile great feat might be completly different thing depending on someone disabilities, place of birth, wealth luck or character.
"Musk has a photographic memory" by that I take it she means it needs developing.
for it to work he has to lay in a darkroom in a chemical solution for the images to develop
heyooooo
also its black and white
They always say photographic but never specify what kind of photograph
haha thats really funny
I just find it very funny that Elon's "Giga Train" is operating with Bombardier Talent 1 diesel multiple units from the 90s, just a perfect summary of his level of "invention".
Hasn't he basically admitted that Hyerloop was really about shutting down California's intention to build a highspeed rail network?
IMO, Elon Musk certainly has achieved one thing: Proving how cheap talk can be sold to a gullible crowd at a very high price - Oh wait, that's exactly what each and every televangelist and prosperity preacher have been doing for decades.
Which further explains why he stayed in the USA because in other countries his brand of snake-oil wouldn't be nearly as profitable.
@@PDVism I dont understand, what snake oil? Isn't his space x rockets got funded 85% by nasa, and tons of tesla cars being sold every year, isn't that a successful business? How is this considered selling snake-oil?
Oh hi, Donald!
Just like the Democratic Party😂
The Fanbois are the Libertardian Versions of the Atheist crowd.

The brick thing never made sense as you can't just use any random dirt and rock to make nice high-quality bricks. Bricks need very specific types of clay. Traditionally brickworks were built on the locations with the clay easily accessible. The chances some random tunnel will go through a good clay deposit is zero.
I was thinking exactly this. But it might be possible to make Engineered Stone, if I want to be charitable to Musk, which I don't.
Exactly, That's why we have so many 100 year old brickworks, The clay seam was perfect for bricks.
Yup. I started out in a company that made bricks, and even with the proper clay, you cant just dig it out and use it. It has to be aged, left outside in the weather, as I recall. I was not in the brick factory itself, I was next door, but they had the classic 100 year old tunnel kiln etc. All gone now.
@@TheScotsalan They also mix sawdust into the clay which is why modern bricks are a lot lighter than they used to be.
Ehh you can make a "concrete brick". it also can be made a lot lighter than clay too. But i doubt Musk's brick is that too...
31:05 "When Elon was 10 years old, he got tested by IBM"
The graphic on the screen at that exact moment says 5150, which "is the number of the section of the Welfare and Institutions Code, which allows an adult who is experiencing a mental health crisis to be involuntarily detained for a 72- hour psychiatric hospitalization when evaluated to be a danger to others, or to himself or herself, or gravely disabled."
The editor was having some fun at Elon's expense, lmao
The cult of personality surrounding Elon Musk is just insane. I remember just a few months ago watching a Musk fanboy driving his Tesla in full self driving mode and it jumped a stop sign at an intersection and nearly crashed head on into an oncoming car. In the second near miss, only his intervention avoided a nasty accident. Watching him explain it away was just hilarious. That self driving mode on Tesla cars is less safe than even the most drunk driver. The media can complain about him nowadays as much as they want. They are the ones who gave him the platform to cultivate his personality cult.
Reminds me of that guy that would use the “autopilot” on his way home from work and would play video games. There is a kink on the freeway and the car would misread that kink and head straight towards the median barrier and he would take control of the car and keep it from wrecking. Happened multiple times, he told family and friends and they all told him to stop using the autopilot or get rid of the car etc. he didn’t. One day the car slammed into the barrier at that kink and he perished in a fiery wreck.
I use FSD entirely to drive to work and back for 2 years now. NO ISSUES AT ALL EVER. So idk. Love texting and watching youtube while my tesla drives me around.

@@Wowpvp91 How far away are autotaxis? Elon keeps promising he'll have fleets of them out in a year.
That train is literally just a standard german regional train with a different paint job . Truly the greatest innovation in transport.
Did he or tesla claim otherwise?
@@ericchild3363 We don't call them "giga train". We call them Regionalbahn.
3:41 And these low contrast LCD units at the station are of an old type that elsewhere is being replaced with a more readable type since a few years. Bleeding edge technology.
ah, but the lights! the music! Do they have the lights and the music on at every station for when the train arrives and departs? if not, then yes, it's just a train, a plain old train.
I guess it's time to add the livery to the list of Musk inventions that already exist (at least it's not a failed invention)
Elon Musk reminds me of the stories I've heard about Thomas Edison gobbling up other people's inventions. Then mass producing the products & treating it as if He was the sole reason for its invention. Using his vast money to Work on obtaining a bunch of patents so he could get credit for a whole range of things under his name throughout history. It's pretty ironic elon musk went with the "Tesla" name.. when he's way more of a "Edison"
Why don't people think every big company from Apple to IBM to NASA has done exactly the same thing?
The company was already called Tesla when invested in it. Had he been involved, it would be called "Hypermotors X2000."
Facts vs. TF fans might be a good idea for a new series@@azerkahn
Edison actually produced things that worked as claimed
Elon reminds you of the guy in high school who was smart and popular and dynamic while you sat around playing dungeons and dragons with the other feebs.
Elon Musk is basically me in highschool, a hopeful wannabe engineer that thinks up very imaginative and incredible inventions only to search up in the internet that there’s a better version of my unique invention.
Thunderf00t you were the first (and only for a while I'm sure) person I remember to critique Musk using actual science, and you changed my mind on him years ago. Thank you for all the work you've done throughout the years.
Pity he cant see his pushing of the global warming hoax isn't just as stupid, but then, money talks and reputation walks.
Elon's unique ability is to take all those ideas we all had when we were 10, of personalized tunnels from home to school, dig tunnels for free by selling the dirt, vacuum trains, cars that charge their battery with a dynamo on their own wheels... and present them as genius novel ideas without any shame.
But when you, a dumb 12 year old came up with those inventions, they were dumb. When a bonefide GENIUS like Elon has the same idea, its brilliant.
Thats how the transient property works, right?
i was thinking of something above ground involving clear tubes when i was 10, like a Habitrail-for-Humans instead of hamsters sort of thing. to be honest, it is dumber than the tunnels idea.
He mainstreamed electric cars. Provides internet to remote areas of the earth. Launches rockets into space.

If yes, its a scam.
Though to be fair.....they are one of the few, and even then....its hardly a reliable thing....tech-ish news outlets that reports the reporting of a story before going too hard into the emotionally motivated response. Like, theyll get a story out, THEN rip into it vs too many other vlog channels that will vocally emotion signal all over the place as if their viewers cant be trusted to reason for themselves and must be all but told how to feel about a thing. If you know how critics are supposed to work (ie, you're supposed to gauge their reaction and make a decision yourself, not take their opinion as gospel for fear of having an original thought of your own and having the zeitgeist turn on you) they're far from the worst when it comes to presenting polarizing stories. Hell, they're not afraid to openly play devils advocate and reason on the side of a company doing something seen as shitty while still acknowledging and agreeing that it is indeed shitty. Its been a long time since I've seen people doing that in general much less any level of reporting......
That being said, jesus Linus can be a fucking fan boy twat, and Luke is a millennial milksop....
What a gem, I had forgotten all about that clip. Mmm, breathe it in, how delicious it is to see it again.
Honda had learned back in the 20th century that the key is speed. The faster you move the legs, the less you have to bother with the awkward shuffling balancing act with each step. Fast enough and you don't even have to balance while walking. Boston dynamics took this lesson to heart and all their robots focused on fast actuation from the get go with Spot being blazing fast.... And then there is the Tesla Optimus awkwardly shuffling like one of Honda's earliest prototypes.
Actually, this is one of the very few points I find arguably wrong in this video. As everyone who tried out gymnastics will tell you, it’s much harder than it looks to slowly balance on one foot in a „scale“ position. It’s much easier to maintain balance when you are able to shuffle around all the time.
@@OliverJWeber Yup. Hence why those who focus on first having a robot walk very slowly got it a bit backwards. Fast motion is a lot easier to start with and if you got that down you can work your way down to the slower motions. Otherwise you just end up wasting time and money on lots of prototype iteration by chasing the wrong aspect first only to find yourself having to rebuild the robot over repeatedly just for a little bit of speed. That is the main takeaway from the rivals.
@@OliverJWeber But who cares if the robot can balance on one foot? It does nothing. Did you see the Boston Dynamics robots? Those are real robots. The Tesla robot is a mickey mouse attempt at something they don't know how to do very well.

That Linus clip never ceases to make me wonder "how does he have such a huge following with such shoddy journalism coming up so much more often than it should?"
Marketing to a sustainable target audience (the masses who read tech "yellow press", yet do not understand Implementation possibilities). And ofc, Merchandise.
People in general are stupid as shit. That's how.
He's the Elon Musk of tech media
Because Linus understands how media works, but has very few experience with actual engineering. Most of his employees are barely tinkerers.
Anyone that has worked with engineers knows that if you give them a good paycheck and lots of fancy toys, and just ask for cool demos to show, you’ll be able to grab lots of top tier talent.
All the perks of designing stuff, without the drudgery of making it reliable at scale and compliant with regulations, what’s not to love?

Reminds me of the anecdote: When a group of you are chased by a lion, you don't need to be the fastest in the group; you just need to be a little faster than the slowest. Musk built an empire by just being a little smarter than the dumbest.
I never really paid Elon much attention before. Listening to your videos I’m getting such Trump vibes. This really explains why Elon has been so right leaning lately.
Lately? He has apartheid upbringing.
He reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes. He believes his "genius" will simply make amazing things happen without having a plan or competence. Surrounded by yes-men and the corrupting power of extreme wealth he makes for a scary individual.

Because it exploded after max Q?? NASA has a completely different approach being more conservative, which is why their rockets rarely fly and are so expensive. SpaceX on the other hand doesn't care if a rocket explodes after maxQ because tests are meant for gathering data which is the primary goal of any test. In that aspect SpaceX was successful, if you think a rocket that has more thrust than the saturn V reaching maxQ is a joke you literally just think 'elon bad'. Which is cringe.
Y'know, I knew Optimus was dreadful, but just watching the Boston Dynamics ones, holy crap, didn't realise how well they're doing. Quite impressive.
Just an unrelated observation: In the 80's data storage devices like the floppy disk were so expensive that it was cheaper to print a simple game's source code on paper and distribute it this way. There were game magazines that included the source code of some games. You just had to "code" it yourself. You could very easily change some of the strings to make it your own game.
I remember a magazine that had a decent C64 game code, all in binary, just pages of 1s and 0s, total headache, but I got it working. It had decent graphics too. Thanks for the memories.
Yeah, ZX81 space invaders in machine code!

@@kennyfordham6208 And also good at being born rich
There's one thing Phil is missing - the whole goal of the Hyperloop was never about practicality or even feasibility.
The only reason Musk proposed the Hyperloop was to get the California high-speed rail project cancelled (which it also failed to do).
"Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California-even though he had no plans to build it."
Correct. He not only said it to Ashlee Vance, he said as much in the opening pages of that Hyperloop "White Paper". Anti-high speed train campaigners in the UK have also played the Hyperloop card (they would oppose H-L too, but know it won't happen). Musk has a pathological hatred of railways, and I'm amazed he allowed this one near his German factory.
Sounds like a B.S. reason to excuse away the failure of HyperLoop. Sort of a .. "hah.. I meant to do that!" moment imo.

It's actually a proper shame they're not investing into reverse engineering Nikola Tesla's greatest works which he took to the grave.

And those wireless power transmissions is simply non-contact charging. It works, but is extremely wasteful for large distances. You can light some light bulbs in the garden with it and that's already pushing it. Doing it for anything larger is just impractical and wasteful.
You know, scientists, especially physicists, are not stupid. Tesla is not the only genius and over the last 100 years our understanding of physics has grown exponentially. Modern day physicists simply have a better understanding of electricity than Tesla had back then. Same goes for engineers.

I just read a german article about accidents at the Tesla Giga Factory. Last year between June and November they had over 190 serious accidents. That's almost ONE ACCIDENT PER DAY! But it gets even worse. In March 2022 alone they had 247 accidents where they needed either an ambulance or a hellicopter. We are talking about burns, chemical burns and severed limbs.
Wow, those Tesla employees are careless.
How such a factory can keep on going in Germany, where if nothing else, the protection of the workers by the state is huge, is beyond my understanding.
That isn't good, obviously. 247 sounds like a lot. But, for context, it's worth checking out the accident rates for all German manufacturers and comparing.

This is another example of the cult of personality. Humans are so gullible.
As someone who lives in Brandenburg (the part of germany where the giga factory was build) I can tell you that Elons great single train track has caused multiple delays in the other trains, had caused a week of cancelled trains while it was connected to rest of the tracks and is almost useless since the train only drives 4 times a day at very weird times.

I was just an average computer geek in high school and I knew more than my teacher. This is not that astounding an accomplishment. Teachers with no experience in a subject often get rotated to teach the subject, especially to younger students.
This. CS teachers were typically math teachers. No special computer skills. Didn't take much for some of us geeks (like me) to know more. Made a deal - for a 100% grade for the year, I taught advanced coding to the class. Probably the only 100 I ever got.
I'm about 10 years younger than Elon Musk. But, I only started learning to code about 5 years after he did. My mom took college computing courses and I would go through the exercises. I still remember the intro to coding books. For 90% of them, you would (A) make a race car game (B) make a space invaders clone (C) draw cartoon characters.

And that's why we have to break the idea that people have that being rich means you're smart or talented.
Most people who are rich were born in wealth, or well connected, or simply lucky. That doesn't mean they have no talent, but luck's always a factor in sudden success.
Elon's father owns an emerald mine in South Africa. He also has a child with Elon's stepsister.
Both of Elon's parents and all of his grandparents were well off. People know his dad was rich, but they forget that his grandfather was a Canadian politician and his mother was a popular model. I don't know if he's still trying to spread his poor boy story, but it was such an absurd claim it's unreal.
Being rich means you have yes men around you that play into your delusions
Actually that's not true. Most wealthy people are self made, driven, disciplined and always looking to improve their performance. They're usually owners of blue collar businesses like plumbers and electricians and they live far below their means. While it's a bridge too far to say they're geniuses who will save the world, they're certianly not fools. Then there's Elon, who is part of the minority of wealthy people who had money donated and strings pulled by his father so he could fake it to the top. The way to break the idea that it takes extraoridnary talent and intelligence to become wealthy, is to stop pumping up colleges and universities. They're sporting some very well paid adminstrators and presdients, by playing upon misconceptions of success and wealth.
@@christopherhoyt7195in my profession, I interact with many extremely wealthy people, both those who inherited their wealth and those who earned it themselves. I can confidently say that wealthy people are no more driven, hardworking, or capable than middle-class or lower-class people.

The problem with cults is that your identity is entirely wrapped up in them. Admitting your dear leader is a liar means that you're a fool.

@@shimmy1984unlike you he's not a muskrat!
It's worth investigating the law of assumption. People born in wealth are just not aware of lifeline "failure modes". They only know success. So they don't draw in the bad luck and obstacles that normal people do. It's not about rich people being an in-crowd or illuninati (but they can be), it's about mindset. Go adopt a negative mindset and see what life you get in return. Rich people live in positivity, abundance, fulfillment. It's all they know and that mindset makes a huge difference. When we fail, it's a confirmation that we are unworthy, when thy fail, it's just a cool challenge, a hump in the road to success. Learn about this, and observe people who fail and those who succeed.

I've been in industrial automation for a while now, and I can safely say that most of its capabilities are at the same level as highschool-uni level school projects. That "sort blocks by colour robot" is the graduation project of almost every intern I've had (they can do the whole tray in about 4 seconds by the way). Heck, even childrens' robotic kits can do some of those with a drag and drop style programming language called Scratch. BD's robots might as well be humans compared to that...
@@alibarancelik8903 I mean, isn't that mostly because of the customer's expectations and willingness to pay? A lot of industry runs on "cheap and good enough" and if you offer any more than that you are basically wasting your time and will blow your budget for nothing. Hell, a lot of factories I've worked in still had machines older than me on their primary lines. Either that or Frankenstein hybrids of old machines and somewhat new ones. Boston Dynamics is often selling robots to work in open areas with rapidly changing conditions, often for military, rescue and police use. So you want something that is very agile, readjusts to changing obstacles and can handle weirdly shaped objects very well.
the difference is cost to produce. BD good for military, muskee robot should be an order of magnitude cheaper (if they can pull it off).

Boston Dynamics Robot, while impressive has been in development for decades, and can mostly just do preprogrammed maneuvers. Tesla Robot, in development for a few years, will soon be able to do thousands of tasks by simply asking it to and will be a tiny fraction of the price.
Boston Dynamics Robot have impressive locomotion, but it cant "see" move the hinder or box and it will fail. Tesla robot can "see" it look insignificant, but it could turn a brick uppright that had fallen on its side.
I remember seeing the boston dynamics dog robots that could maintain their balance when shoved off a cliff, even better than a human could. That was like 10 years ago. Now BD has bipedal robots doing parkour, jumping over gaps and doing backflips in the air. And musk’s magnum opus robot can barely move its feet at all.
If BD was in charge of autonomous electric cars, theyd probably be full self driving at this point, considering they are proven to be exponentially more skilled at adaptive AI programs than tesla is.
Ehh, I'd like to see them perform with someone other than a BD worker operating them. In other words, not choreographed, not stage managed, doing their own thing with a normal level outside operator. They get that done then they an take a hand at the self driving cars thing. Otherwise it's just like what Musk does -- technology theater rather than actual technology, the main differene between that and what Musk does being that BD is better at it.
Boston Dynamics have way too much hard code for it to be autonomous. This is the difference between the Tesla bot. But keep putting Tesla down so I can buy Tesla stock cheap 😂 have worked out great for me so far 🤑
@@tapaseroFirst off, many Boston Dynamics robots are almost 100% autonomous. They arent always running pre-written programs. They have demonstrated the ability to react to changes in their environment, pick up and move objects around by detecting their placement with sensors, and even adjust their movements within fractions of a second to maintain balance arguably better than most humans could. Tesla bot, on the other hand, has shown us nothing more complex than walking straight forward, slowly, on a flat and unobstructed surface. While BD’s robots are running complicated programming letting them maintain balance and adapt to their environment, tesla bot is running a string of hard code that moves the motors in sequential order. Tesla is on par with humanoid robots from the late 1900s. Its beyond pathetic.
Actually that’s one of the very few bits of this video that I find arguably wrong. As anyone who has tried out gymnastics will tell you, it’s much harder than it looks to maintain balance on one leg and move into a „scale“ position. It’s much easier to maintain balance when you are able to shuffle around all the time.
@@hagamapama You know that Boston Dynamics has started selling their "Spot" robot years ago right? You can right now go ahead and buy yourself a "spot" and test it out. Also, BD robots are remote controlled, yes, but they are remote controlled pretty much like a character in a videogame is. You just direct the robot into the direction it's supposed to go and the robot does exactly that. The robot walks and keeps it's balance autonomously. If you want the robot to perform an action like for example jumping or picking up a (marked) object you have to order the robot to do that but you don't have to micromanage it. I also know that at least the early versions of spot had to manually be out into a stairwalking mode. I know that the newest version of spot can be put into a patrol mode which makes him follow a preprogrammed patrol route, autonomously avoiding obstacles and reporting abnormalities.

He was likely speaking on the context of politicians and policies, but perhaps no one is a better example than Musk on how that also applies for the private sector. One of the rare few cases where a person got politician-levels of cult of personality, without being a politician, it seems. Or even some kind of pop-star singer/actor/ress.
