Most people don't appreciate the financial and reputational risk Elon has taken to get Tesla to where it is today. I'm grateful for that! Congrats on the interview, well done 👊🏻
100% it's pretty insane!
@@TeslaOwnersSV thanks for going deep addressing these misconceptions. We avidly await the rest
This time what went on in Vegas will not stay in Vegas!!
I met both Britney Spears and Elon Musk in 2000 at Bellagio. Britney just stared at me as she was singing on stage and I was standing in an archway above and nearby. I'm not sure if I was supposed to be standing up there by myself but I did have her undivided attention. A few days later Elon came up to me and started asking me questions about what I was doing there, in Las Vegas and Hawaii during that time. If I would I be fine answering a few questions. And if I was a gambling man? I stated, "I was on vacation and I only like to bet on things that are worth betting on!" I had earned these trips by qualifying reward points at my work. He asked, "What kind of work is it that you do?" I said, "Commercial energy saving promotions but I had been schooled in Automotive Marketing Business Administration and worked in that field for several years as well." He asked me, "If I had millions of dollars to spend what would be the most innovative businesses that could help humanity?" We talked about electric cars, we talked about solar energy and so many other subjects for over an hour. Even commercial space exploration for the consideration of colonization. That way all of humanity's eggs are not in one basket in case of another world war, asteroid strike, major climate change, etc. These we're very expensive and ambitious businesses to become successful at. Therefore we had to talk about ways of keeping a low overhead in advertising, distribution and the manufacturing. He said, "They were all very good ideas and that they should be done!" He said he had already made hundreds of millions off of a couple internet companies he started. "One of them was PayPal," he stated. Not that I had really done a lot of online banking or e-transfers at that time I didn't think much of it, until I noticed online about a year later that I could buy something off the computer with my PayPal card! Unfortunately I had just received a promotion as regional manager with the company I was working with. This made me let Elon know that I had to wait for a few years before I could assist further. I keep on sending out messages, hoping that he will get one and reply back. I will probably have to keep on trying, he gets more messages in a day then I would in five years! It is very inspiring to me to have a conversation with someone and they dedicate the next 20 years to making our conversation reality! We also talked about becoming your own best supplier and starting businesses that help your existing business. A type of slingshot effect that he has incorporated very well. It is so ambitious and amazing that he was willing to put pretty much all of his money where his mouth is and just make it happen with a consistent dedication. Congratulations Elon and I am looking forward to working with you again, one day in the near future! I still come up with innovative business ideas on a daily basis. Of course Britney I always wish her well and would enjoy meeting her again as well. Shoot for the Moon then Mars and then we will end up amongst the Stars! If you would like to learn more of these topics let me know. People with integrity expect to be believed otherwise they let time prove them right!

just about every company he's been with, he's risked it all
Meh he’s taken those risk along side the stockholders but screw then right they don’t deserve any quarterly dividend(s) that’s money that can go to blowing up rockets in Texas for a supposed Martian colony.
Good job lads, great interview! Looking forward to part 2.
My Man!
I can’t wait to share the rest, it gets real weird toward the third hour
I couldn't make out the names he was calling deuches ..all I got was Salsburg?
seriously? you know this was boring asf. we’ve heard these stories 1m times steve
Keep up the great videos
SpaceX and Tesla are probably the most amazing juggling acts in history in terms of keeping them both afloat and turning them into viable, impactful companies … both of which paved completely new ground technically. Astonishing what Elon has accomplished, and I wish politicians and others would publicly acknowledge these two groundbreaking companies.
Politicians have too large an ego and lust for power and money to ever move the spotlight to a more deserved target.
Elon’s tomb when he finally decides to leave humanity should be the White House. No-one else has done as much for humanity and America as Sir Lord Musk.
yeah and he does all this when he takes a rest break from twitter and holidaying in greece and partying with celebrities and conducting numerous interviews - imagine if he just concentrated on tesla and space x, we'd be living on jupiter by now
Are you kidding, OP? The sarcasm wasn't apparent. Both companies have only stayed afloat through GOVERNMENT money. Spacex loses billions, as does Tesla, which only managed to be profitable for a single year and appreciate by 10 or 15 percent
Elon has the heart of a child and like any decent person doesn’t understand why people lie or omit the truth.
he's just not a boomer!
@Dennis Farmer facts! Elon is pathologically obsessed with truth
This is the cringiest thing I've read today.
Hasn't he lied multiple times before? He claimed he started Tesla when he actually joined it after someone else founded it. He's repeatedly made promises for Tesla products that haven't happened.
@Dennis Farmer sums up my son to a T
Thank you everyone for making this happen!!
No thank Elon lol
🤗👍😍😍😍
12:09 - when this moment happened i have TH-cam running audio in the background. I thought TH-cam broke. This might be the longest pause in all of Elon Musk's interviews. Even the three hosts froze! GREAT INTERVIEW tho!
Check out when Elon was asked what question he'd asked if he could get the answer to ONE question! That was in his Lex Fridman interview
:) I have seen longer mind.
Elon is the Past Master of the Long Thoughtful Pause. Gets big Plausibllity Points for it.
Elon is the perfect example of someone who engages his brain rather that just babbles out any old response for the sake of a response.
Oh, wow, then it is possible to run audio of TH-cam in background. Please, can you teach me how?
One of the best Elon interviews I've seen.... and I've seen a lot.
Thank you!
@@TeslaOwnersSV10:31
You really can’t beat this man. He knows so much and does so much for humanity and all he wants in return is for us to support him. You really can’t name another guy like Elon Musk
Sadhguru
You're a sheep lmao
that's his biggest fault.... he's the richest man on Earth and has screw you money and yet has a Donald Trump complex of needing to be constantly loved and adored...... it's embarrassing.
@Global Communications 🤣🤣🤣 like when he told the truth that he won the election in 2020. Donald Trump doesn’t even know what truth means. You’re a clown.
Ummm Elon wants you to shove a chip in your brain like a cyborg in alignment with the technocratic agenda. How about an Alex Jones that points out actual truth and hypocrisy in society or a Gary Haven that puts his money and his life where his mouth is? Musk's toys are the tools that will destroy society as we know it, they are the implements of the scientific takeover. Just sayin'.🤷
Wow, this has got to be the most eye-opening podcast I’ve heard regarding the beginnings of Tesla. I hope the algorithm makes this go viral!
there is another tesla owners interview from 2 years ago or smth
This is an amazing interview, people are quick to judge Elon without knowing anything he has been through, so what ever decision he makes now let not to judge quick, like we know more about Tesla as a company than himself
Elon is a idiot
Agree

Wonder, if he can fix my uterus?. I want a little girl. Already got one. I want another one. Miss all that pink frill,aww. Only thing, Elon n I got is one big brood! I got eight strapping ladies, and one suga n spice
Let’s see Tesla stock is down 40%.. time to make more Musk hype videos! Wait what … Musk has fired more employees to make up for his silly Twitter purchase. Silly boy.
When I listen to Elon for content, I am constantly looking up words like “silicon” and asking questions then seeking examples from my own experience that help me understand it so I can explain it to journalists and others. Elon’s understanding of these topics is like the hidden part of a huge iceberg; most people only understand the very tip (and that is if they really try). But sometimes I just like to turn on Elon’s technical interviews just to hear him talk. It makes me feel better knowing there is somebody in the world paying attention who understands all this. Makes me feel safer.
He didn’t read the entire encyclopedia at 8 for nothing 😊
Its not that difficult to have a decent body of knowledge. A person’s brain can hold a huge amount of info. If you’re curious about lots of things, you will end up knowing lots about lots too. I’m not trying to put EM down, but it’s just weird seeing a normal person (who admittedly has had a unique life, and who has taken advantage of his advantages), be raised up like their brain is special in some way. If you’re the same age as EM and had an education, you probably have a similar general body of knowledge. 🤷🏽♀️ Plus, he talks bs about a bunch of stuff too, remember. He has a company to advertise. “Honesty”isn’t a binary. I find him an interesting character in the current landscape, the next twenty years is worth watching.
@@creatrixZBD So, your points are: 1)he's really not that special, any decent education is all that's needed for his level of success; and 2)he's full of BS? Just making sure.
Check the “wait but why” site where Tim explains how Elon learns.
@@mihokosymons5188 he's basically telling you to stop being a bootlicker and realize that "Silicon" isn't anything special AT ALL. Lmfao
So much respect for this guy. People just assume that you have a leg up because of money, but he actually did the work AND spent his own money! How could you hate this guy!?!? He's a living testimony to what the American dream could produce and he's not even close to being done!
I am so glad that my friends got to spend quality time with Elon. Awesome to see John, Eli, Kelvin and although behind the scenes, Ryan doing this. Miss you all, and hope to see you again soon.
Wow !! What CEO sits down with Fans and by the way the richest CEO and talks so candid about failures and hard times. One can feel like it still hurts him the 2008 stress this is not a Billionaire who takes, this is a human being who rips his heart out to fulfill his dreams, if someone deserves all good what can be is him.
💯👍TRUE 🤗😍😍😍
That's why we love Elon in spite of him being crazy sometimes 😁😍
@@mimmipiggast2243 Or 😍🤗 Or maybe because he is ….from our viewpoint 🤔😁😍😍😍
And he lost his marriage, and he lost a child, and he caught an airborne disease that almost took his life, wow. Elon is one tough survivor.
This interview made me teary... I think only a business owner person having gone through hardship can try to imagine what he went through; yes there have been fun times, but the stress must have been numbing at some of these decision points. The world should be grateful this man exists. Mindboggling.
Thanks guys - I love listening to Elon - pure gold. He makes so much sense!! I just wish people would appreciate him for what he is & let Elon Elon.
appreciate him for his principles and who he is ❤️🙏🌹let him be him❤️ true.
I simply enjoy his interviews he always so calm and intelligent it's like im watching the ultimate teacher of all things......
Super impressive interview with Elon. What an incredible person he is for his hard and sustained efforts that have launched Tesla and SpaceX! Sick and tired of the Elon haters who do not have a clue about what a significant person he is.
We knew the feeling!
Elon haters don't exist
@@arjunraju5426 ikr
About Elon Musk buying, not creating, Tesla
He bought an empty box, then filled it with hard work, money and genius.
Just like he will transform Twitter into a Thing of Simplicity, Elegance, and Transparency. Arguments and Debates, Thought-provoking processes.
@@abou8963
He's going after FUD.
Twitter is a tool to do that. (Imo)
Perfect comment--gold star
If you hear somebody disrespecting Elon you can be just move on and be assured they are ignorant. Musk is like a combat veteran that charged the shore at Normandy and survived. He has walked thru fire and is the greatest engineer in history, so good, he could not live without bringing his creations to reality so became CEO which is not his forte. Celebrate his contribution to mankind.
💯
Jeff S.
Agreed 100%
I’m baffled when even after viewing this interview there are some w such negative comments.
No, Elon disagreed with the Democratic Party. So everyone must hate him now.
Yep.
He is an amazing individual.
Great interview with Elon. Really jaw dropping when I realize just how a thousand critical elements had to come together under impossible odds to emerge through some very stressful years as the company (and the man) is today. No doubt in my mind that nobody else could have done this with the same results. Elon has and still is willing this to happen while others simply didn’t have the political will or the ”all in” personal attitude to inspire others to literally make a “moon (mars) shot.” I’m still in awe, yet there is no bigger believer in Elon and in the Tesla team than me. I just wish I was 22 years old again and fresh out of college with an engineering degree and with dreams as big as I have now. Everything about Tesla (and the other companies) just seems so logical and critical to me now. Eager to hear more.
Thank you for this. I get sick and tired of mainstream Elon Interviews with the same old, boring questions over and over. I actually learned a lot here. Great Job!
loved this discussion. finally an interview where the questions are fresh, interesting, specific, and not overly philosophical.
Yeah for use, we hadn't checked what had been done before. We literally wanted to set the record straight on early days of Tesla.
@@TeslaOwnersSV he has answered this many times in pieces, and goes over this in ashlee Vances book, doesnt matter how much you set it straight, the haters are gonna hate. denial is a powerful thing, and admitting your wrong seems to be a sin these days. great interview though, loved it!
Fresh? Wtf? These literally are the exact same questions and stories he’s told 1 million times on every other podcast. Ask about FSD being able to take you “from nyc to la with no human input by 2017”. Ask about the Roadster being able to hover with rockets. Ask REAL questions.
Seriously, a missed opportunity here. So many of these questions have been asked and answered many many many times. Everyday must be like Groundhog day for Elon musk.
@@lseguy as he said at Boca Chica in the recent interview with Tim Dodd - The Everyday Astronaut, "SpaceX does the impossible, late!"
So you are right to point out Elon Musk's obviously impossible dreams.
Have you seen the rocket boosters landing, an electric seven seater SUV, a car with 300 miles range (many of these eight-ten year old cars are seen daily in the UK Midlands), a global supercharger network, batteries stabilisation of energy grids? Or do you still think these things are impossible.
Legacy auto - copy the proven - late.
Thanks for getting this out guys!
A few minutes in and digging the candid storytelling. Damn what a treat for the nerd world. An Elon reality show would be insane.
His dad made millions from black slaves? Nice documentary.
I’ve got a name for your documentary “my father gave me millions and I made billions”
Thank me now 🙂
Agreed!
@@sebbya8370 It is well documented that Errol Musk (Elon's father) invested $28,000 in ZIp2 during one of the funding rounds. Your claim of millions is a lie. Your claim about slaves is also a lie. TH-cam will delete my comment if I provide a link, so search for "One is born into a country and a system" (with quote marks) and "Errol Musk" and click on the "Comments" tab to see a blog post in which Errol Musk contradicts your baseless claims.
@Johnnycast IRL None 😂

Awesome interview. Its cool to think about how many people can be inspired by having easy access to the inner workings of a driven genius of our time and that Musk takes the time out and always seems humble. Sharing examples like Musk should replace woke-ism in our schools and maybe we would be going places in this country.
Couldn't agree more!
I wish people saw more Elon interviews like this than his tweets.
Agreed. He comes across so much better here.
One of the best interviews with Elon I have ever seen.
I wish we could see what was going through his brain in those long pauses... immediately after he says something incredible. A mind at work
These conversations are so great to hear, and I think they are so therapeutic for Elon. You can tell he has gone through so much.
Great point.
People like Lex Fridman, Joe Rogan, and these guys have mastered the art of interviewing Elon: to let him think as much as possible before answering. Great job guys, looking forward to part deux!
Everyone needs to watch this. This is what success looks like and how it happens. BELIEF, and dedication are all thats needed to make your dreams come true. Hat off to you Elon! and To you gentlemen (especially mr backwards hat) Great questions to bring out the raw history of two companies that have changed the trajectory of the world forever. 10 out of 10!!
I’ve had many electric cars starting from a converted ice car in 2002, leaf, ford think, bolt and most recently a model Y. Tesla is the only company practically solving the range problem for the masses with both a great car and charging network. Everyone else is either following behind tesla (Ford, VW, GM) or completely in denial that it’s happening (Toyota, Honda).
Musk is a generational person that we won't truly appreciate until generations from now
I think a lot of people do appreciate him. What makes you think people don’t appreciate him?
@@117Industries i think the Twitter/politics kinda clouded his image. Still an all time great tho
Heard all of this before...but also the consistency matters. Story hasn't changed over many interviews and years
Glad you have heard it before. Setting the record straight mattered right now given people saying Elon did not start Tesla
Elon told this story many times before, mostly bits, rarely all together. But it always stayed the same story. Imagine asking Trump how he became rich 15 times through the years. We'd have 15 different inconsistent stories.
@@maxpelletier2237 Or getting Nancy Pelosi to give an answer on how she has earned millions as a professional politician? Not to mention AOC and Brandon.
@@sonnyburnett8725 That’s easy, have your spouse/relatives invest in companies that you know have good news coming from government
@@higherlearning9386 The point is, if they told an answer, it wouldn't be the truth (or what you described), and over the years, their answer would change because it's a lie.
Fantastic watching him tell the Real Story from the beginning of Tesla. All the haters will be butt hurt to hear he and JB were the actual OG’s. 🤘🏽
Fo sho
Straight talking straight thinking super intelligent, knowledgeable, well and widely read, morally attuned, wise, eloquent, tough, rugged, dogged, bursting at the seams with integrity. Truly a great individual. I think this sort of language is appropriate relative to an individual like Elon. Nothing wrong with admiration and praise if it be well founded, and who can say it is not well founded given the public record associated with this man that anyone can access. His words and his deeds
Well said.
Lmao
So happy for you guys! Definitely part of the “life highlight reel” 😉
Can’t wait for part 2!
You all did such a wonderful job with this. I loved the interview and that you let him talk and think as much as he wanted. I am really looking forward to the other 2 parts. You all do Tesla and Elon proud!! He has to be happy about the kinds of customers Tesla attracts.
Awesome interview......I'm glad you guys were able to land an elon interview....great work.
Fascinating real time pace interview, the real deal. Its great to get some missing background on early Tesla. Elon the worlds richest man, feels like talking to a mate..........zero BS.
Elon is the man, here to save the world!
Wen drop pt. 2???
woah, great interview! Elon rarely talks this openly and good job for not interrupting and instead asking good question to detail and carry the conversation along. Respect! Best Tesla interview for years.
Thank your for this interview and especially your style of interview. You ask calmly and let him speak. You can really see how refreshing this feels for him. He does not to think about the "perfect" answer to give before being interrupted. Not this typical "oh look I'm here with Elon Musk so admire ME" moment. No cutting either. Just great. Can't wait for PArt 2. And thank you to Elon for taking so much of his valuable time for it.
Here from the Bill Nix letter
Awesome! Commenting as I listen. Thanks for making this happen
Brilliant stuff guys. Thank you so much. Great to get a shot of reassurance on a -9% day.👍
Good stuff. After you guys upload Part 2 and the others, I'd highly recommend cutting some into clips like the one setting the record straight on Martin Eberhard
Great job John. Excellent interview
Thank you for the format you used for the interview. Giving Elon a topic and letting him talk until he runs out of things to say is EXACTLY what I've hoped other interviewers would do. We want stream of conscience where he decides what is important to him and wants to reveal to the public.
Great interview. I was aware of bits and pieces but have never heard the entire story of the early days in one thread. Very interesting and inspiring. Makes me want to try a little harder at everything I do and to be a bit bolder about the challenges I create for myself and others. Nice job, guys. I look forward to the balance of the episodes.
Amazing interview.I admire Elon's resilience and candor!
In my opinion Elon is to the auto industry like Beethoven was to classical music. Genius at work bro! W = F x a x d
Oh my, his understanding of these topics is insane. He knows so much about what he is doing at each company
Nice job, glad u guys made it happen! Btw the audio and video quality is great. Looking forward to pt2!
Thanks for make it happen! Awesome!
Classic Elon pause at 12:30. Dude is doing a jimmy neutron brainstorm.
I happened to get Part 2 in my feed before getting to see this. I don't think people realize all that this man has sacrificed for America, and the betterment of mankind. And he has a sense of humor too. Excellent content!
I just love the thinking break Elon takes at 12:11 for a solid 12 seconds where the guys are just hanging on his words. 😊
This is sooo awesome! I love how he has these downloads of information.
I love these long sincere interviews.
Everyone always thinks of elon as Ironman but he’s actually the hulk imo. He’s the meek and smart David banner by day but goes full hulk on people that cross him like eberhard. Love it.
I thought that was all the peace treaties as well so that was part of my consideration of assisting.
I think he's more like Batman. Always out there selflessly guarding humanity at great personal cost. Batman is not real but Elon is. We need to celebrate this man.
reply
Wow! Thank you guys for doing this. Whole new perspective and balance. Huge pain NOW comes the GAIN. Go Elon!👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾🥰🥰😇😇😘
Great job guys! This is a fantastic start! Need to watch more!
Thanks Will
At like 12 minutes he is just working things out in his head. Sorta cool to watch
yes, it's incredible
great episode! 👏
Kamu mencuri tekan aku dlm wingsin nangsah..aku akan geledah akuan mybank aku nnti
Tzero, Roadster, parts shortages, engineering problems, all continue for us as we have taken over the majority of Roadster service. The R&D continues for us as we keep these cars alive, find ways to keep the ESS packs running, and scramble to recreate parts, find new vendors, and deal with chips and electronics going obsolete.
Great job on the video guys. Carefully constructed and pertinent questions which answer many of the tesla history questions.
Great interview! Thank you 😊
thank you for such a wonderful interview....simply loved it and it has cleared all the doubts about TESLA's History
So sweet. Nicely done all.
Its really great he does these interviews! Elon keeps us in the loop and its so nice to hear a smart person talk about technology who is not promising us things like a politician!
Kamu tungu nangsah .aku lepas gambo muka kamu ada dlm gobo bogal aku
English is my third language. And I’m still learning it lol, even that fact- tomorrow will be 6 years how I moved in USA lol. I listen interviews of different people during years, just to make my English level better. Couple years ago I started to listen interview with Elon and didn’t understand anything 🤣 His speech and his words were too smart for me 😆 Today i understand a lot what he is talking about. That’s my own level and victory.
I love this interview. Thank you so much! Can't wait for Part 2!!!
Elon describing defunct engine systems as now seeming "quaint" is so accurate. I saw one of those sup-ed up Mustangs making a scene with it's obnoxious engine today and my first thought was "Wow I forgot thats what we used to do for fun. Load up in your friend's cool car and make a scene"
😯😯 IT WAS VERY INTERESTING AND A LEARNING STORY,I'LL BE WAITING FOR THE SECOND CHAPTER!!😁👍
wow, this is one of the best interviews ever. So much back-stories and clarity. Can't believe the current administration is not celebrating this man's success. I hope in the future, Tesla will becoming as influential as Apple, and let go the "motor" part of the company.
Great interview guys! I felt those awkward silences. Good on you for letting the genius think through your questions.
IMHO, Elon Musk is the most important person on earth right now, and he should be praised and supported by every politician and person who wants the best for the world in general and USA in particular. Spread the word, buy a Tesla (if you can afford it), buy Tesla stocks, use their charging network, buy Tesla insurance. Support him on social media. Lets help Elon help us !!!
Very well done interview - both enlightening and inspiring. If anybody knows how to stare down adversity and turn it into opportunity, it's Elon. What a legend.
Elon’s deep thought from 12:11 - 12:23
The whole room remained quiet. Still the level of respect the interviewers have for him.
I was checking the feed, thought my connection had frozen 😁
Amazing work fellas!
Glad to see this I Was under the impression that what Elon’s talking about in the beginning that two guys started it and he came in later was what I thought glad I was corrected. Awesome video! Thanks
Fascinating, above all the troubles in the beginning the energy that keeps Elon motivated is the want to effect the world in a positive way and he keeps reaching for it in spite of any hate.
Excellent insightful interview, loved it Elon is relaxed with you guys and talked openly and honestly
Very good, a true business development saga.
Thank you for part 2 👍 the most informative interview I have ever listened to on Elon 👍😎

Elon is will go down in history for his brilliance and ability to achieve presumably insurmountable feats. He’s in a league of his own.
