It seems like tech influencers love Twitter WAY more compared to the average person.
🎉🎉🎉
That's always been the case. Media, Influencers etc, LOVE Twitter. Artists and people whose jobs revolve around Twitter kinda need it, drama llamas find it entertaining, and people into activism or stuff like that can find groups, and news feeds. But for the most part, most people aren't that interested in actively using it. It's why it's so low on the social media totem pole. Media and Influencers are the ones usually pumping it up far more than what it's worth.
Cuz it’s a announcement board in a community center. Everyone is busy going to the fun activities where they socialize (aka tiktok & insta) and spend a few minutes here and there to see what’s new
Well I think he just wants to bring some fresh reasoning to the whole Elon fiasco. I thought some of his points were very interesting. Also he's sort of forced to not carry a very extreme opinion.
Yeah because we get all the leaks there
Let’s be honest Twitter never really was the place to go to if you wanted to keep your sanity.
I'm sorry, keep your sanity?
Was this the same sentiment before Elon Musk flirted with Twitter shares?
@@tylere.8436 for a lot of people, yes
True. If you indulge in anything political or somewhat controversial, you're gonna loose it
for most yes, but in the trans lesbian section it was pretty chill, mostly hookups
He bought it to ban that private flight track guy 😂
Most likely, he was quite annoyed at that teen😂😂😂
To be far he did give a choice to leave peacefully with 50 grand

You realise that's like saying "to be fair, he did offer that flight attendant a pony"
@@-xirx- It's fair because he owns Twitter now. It's his house. Don't like it? Make your own Twitter.
I really think this is true
If twitter dies, I'll continue living my life lmao
It's funny because people assume it's much more important that it is.
You can crawl back into any cesspool like reddit or Facebook to scream over there instead.

twitter is just cancer at thid point. Twitter should die
@@Saurabhkumar-bn3dl I agree. Reddit seems to really have the “Town Hall” thing that he wants Twitter to have. I’m glad he didn’t buy Reddit, though. Don’t want him to come along & destroy the network I love!
I feel like Twitter is still alive and kicking due to influencers, cause otherwise I don’t think a lot of normal people like using Twitter lol.
You are correct
W
I mean it's Twitter can't complain
Yes
and yet usage is up?
I saw a comment on another section that went like this: "Elon will either improve Twitter, or make the company shut down. Either way, humanity will be benefited". Truest words I've ever heard about Twitter
Not true. It is very bad for us if it shut down. Twitter is the best place for asking any query or help from companies. It helps me a lot.
It is the best customer support.
The toxicity on Twitter will shift somewhere else and affect people purposefullt trying to avoid all of that on Twitter
@@CrimsonDawn-ou4og I can only hope that doesn't happen
@@Mr.Engine993 I'm sure it would happen. Facebook was getting pretty bad now far fewer people still use it, especially people outside of the flat Earth community and other 'Facebook science' and 'Facebook medicine' people spouting their wild beliefs. Tumblr is basically dead in the water now. Instagram and others got a lot of toxic people and changes they made have started driving people away as well, etc.
How would it shut down if people were starting to use it to bully people, cause violence, or other crimes and no one stop them and the hate groups begin to grow? Like Facebook and instagram. Even if he filtered things, it would still get through ?
I'd love to see the like dislike ratio of this vid. I had to stop halfway through coz it was sounding like Elon propaganda.
I feel like twitter is the place people go to find out about drama
Totally agreed
That’s exactly what it feels like
And now twitter is the drama. Perfect irony.
WOKE SOCIALIST hate the new twitter
People with common sense & reality LOVE IT
Isn't that what it should be, being it's to represent the town square?
I still find it astounding that so many people equate money and celebrity with intelligence.
Elon is intelligent, otherwise he wouldn't have sent reusable rockets to space
@@ayanchuchu8264 did elon develop the rockets? no

Not a coincidence
Same, social media seems like such a waste of time.
*He's making Twitter worse, Elon is now making very popular people pay 1,000 dollars a month for a Twitter Blue subscription. And he changed the Twitter logo with a dogecoin logo.*
Scary how much impact one Elon tweet can have.
More scary that Joe is still president
Scary how much impact the mainstream media can have on people's minds when they all chant the same pre-scripted phrases to attack anyone who doesn't align with their views. This is done via the news, partisan celebrities and late night talk show hosts where they parrot to their audience to agree with anything they say that is negative against anyone they want to bring down, be it Elon or anyone else. There was a time when I would watch CNN and take what they said at face value because I believed what the news told me was factual or when Jimmy Kimmel would say something that was written for him by his 14 writers, injected with humor and applauded by his audience to portray that his opinions were the truth when it was orchestrated to convince you and shape your opinions to match his own. I have. Best not to get sucked in by anyone and dig in yourself. For now, Elon revealing The Twitter Files is far more convincing since that is what the media deliberately avoided in their news cycles.
Yes, undoing all the wrongs that Twitter has done in the past will indeed be a big impact.
@@scottjackson1420 For real, like allowing anyone and everyone to be verified so long as they pay monthly, I cannot believe Twitter didn't already do that!
@@JustinDown Yea, it isn't like people flock to basically abuse any given feature on the spot and the problem is created by those who bitch about the problem being there. Though I notice how you don't talk about how those idiots exploiting the new badge for trickery where being dealt with and how fast it was doing so.
-- Nor, do I see you talking about how suddenly those same users felt the need to violate the rules that existed well before elon bought twitter about such things either.
You're really giving the guy who told programmers to print out their code and bring it to his office too much credit.
Literally came here to say this
Nope. It wouldn't be happening without him. Way to try and discredit him, though.
Arun looks like an elon musk fanboy here lol.
@@ZealousPower ok musketeer
@@anirudh7463 or maybe a realist
I'm gonna drop comments for things that seem wrong.
Elon's price for twitter wasn't "reasonable" it was way WAY more than the company was worth - something he's learning very quickly.
Elon didn't "put the offer on hold because he thought there were too many fake accounts" he put it on hold because he was trying to back out of the contract he already signed that he was legally obligated to go through with - because he realized how much of an idiot he'd been with his offer. He only went through with it when they threatened to initiate legal proceedings to force him to honour his contract.
When you say "he's changed what's allowed on the platform, including unbanning Trump" you left out that he's banning anyone who criticizes or makes fun of him, prominent journalists, leftist activists, and people he just doesn't like (e.g. elonjet.) - sometimes inventing "policy" after the fact and announcing it via tweet to justify the bans - policies that aren't actually being enforced beyond the one account that personally offended him.
It's pretty mad to call Elon's companies "progressive companies" when they have some of the least worker-friendly conditions in industry, or to say that Tesla is trying to push us towards an ecofriendly future when they specifically designed and patented their charging stations to not work with other electric cars (suppressing sales of them). (This is one of Elon's only contributions to the company) The way these companies are operated is profit-driven, and claims of progressive ideals is just marketing.
Knowing this, the claim that Elon bought twitter "for the good of humanity" is laughable when he's unbanning neonazis, and banning his critics - unless he believes that criticism of powerful people and a platform for neonazis counts as "the good of humanity"
When you say "there's no debating Elon's intelligence" and that he's built cars and launched rockets... He's not actually BUILT anything, he inherited a large amount of money from an emerald mine, bought companies that "looked cool" and then basically did nothing while the smart people there continued doing what they were doing before (although often under worse conditions.) He only has his name on three patents, all of which arguably make their products worse for everyday people.
When you say "there's no debating his intelligence" One of the very few ideas he actually had himself was for the hyperloop project - a terrible tiny tunnel for cars that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and transports fewer people per hour than a local bus - a project so bad that it's been scrapped and the existing spaces turned into car parks. Hyperloop is a running joke in urban planning circles.
Just bear this in mind when thinking about Twitter. People have been reporting that he's fired 75% of the workforce. They haven't reported WHO he's been firing. You should know that he fired the entirety of the accountability team, the transparency team, and the accessibility team... and the ethics team.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Yeah Twitter is at all time highs in terms of engagement. It's cleaner and less laggy. The people who work there do work, as opposed to the people fired because they didn't do anything useful.
In any case, leftists will be jealous and the rest of humanity will prosper.
TL; DR
@@boulderbash19700209 doesn't matter. They're lying about reality so all they did was waste time typing
Clever Trevor you sound like you know it all but reading some of your so called facts whilst behaving intelligent is amusing. The reason why I am being kinda demeaning towards you is because you doing the very same thing to someone else because you haven't found out the facts. Elons dad was wealthy but wasn't the reason for his success. He was coding already at age 14 and made his very own game. He then created paypal with his brother and ended up selling it for 180 million usd. He believed batteries were the way when he got involved at Tesla. The previous two owners weren't taking the company anywhere and agreed to sell off earlier on. He took it from technically not much into something that's highly sophisticated. As said on video by the one previous owner and said it was their own choice. What did he accomplish? Long range batteries whilst ice still being the go to. He changed that perspective. He sped up the process of autonomous technology etc. The previous owners did NOT want to use their own personal funds to drive Tesla forward but Elon did. He literally risked going bankrupt for both Tesla ans SpaceX. Because he saw the potential. Many years later where's Tesla? At the same time of funding Tesla, he started SpaceX because the Russians never took him seriously. Where's SpaceX today even though they competed against seriously tough competition from Nasa and other private companies. SpaceX still managed to rise to the top. You telling me all of this is him being stupid? Then I'm worried about you🤣 Do you actually have anything that you are saying that you have physically looked up yourself?
You literally "Both Sides" argued this... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this was all still pretty new, butnow, his real intentions are all too clear.
Ain’t no way you believe he actually bought twitter to “SaVe hUmAnItY” that is so BS
Yeah I like mrwhosetheboss but his takes on elon imo have always been kinda “ehh”
he know he's not going to make any profit with twitter. but he still bought it anyway. why? he can make a lot of money elsewhere but he in the end he chose twitter. we really need to ask why
Of course he did. His vision of what "saving humanity" is is probably very different than yours, but nearly all of his companies have that aspect to them. (even if you disagree with how he is doing it) Just going the route to make the most money would have never involved buying Twitter.
@@chaosmonkey1595 no they don't. The boring company was just a "fck around" passion project. Hyperloop is a "premium" one-lane highway for Tesla's specifically that is rickety as hell and doesn't do anything for humanity. Tesla wasn't even created by Musk, he bought it. Also how do you think the batteries are made for those Teslas? Sooo eco friendly. Want to go eco-friendly? He should invest in reducing car usage and making fast and smart public transport solutions so the US can get rid of the vast majority of parking lots and highways
If you don’t see what’s happening then it’s on you. He is saving humanity. If not why would the media hate him so much for purchasing twitter? If you haven’t realized it already he is exposing them. Do your own research to find out who is “them”.
8:00 elon musk didnt do those things, he hired people to do them for him
He is the chief engineer at spacex and product architect at tesla
@@Nubinator a title he gave himself...
@@Nubinator what does he do in spacex and tesla?
he literally had a BSc in physics and economics
@@Nubinator He lied about having a Phd lol. Imagine defending a multi-billionaire.
“He’s built cars, he’s landed rockets” Elon didn’t actually invent Tesla he just bought an electric car company and worked magic marketing. Which is still impressive, but not quite the same as inventing teslas 🤔
Idiot. Eberhard was Tesla’s chief executive officer and Tarpenning its chief financial officer. Neither one were engineers. They were money men and sought funding from who? Musk. It’s was Musk’s 30 million investment that hired the engineers to develop the roadster. He became chairman in 04’ and Eberhard and Tarpenning retired in 07, 08 after Musk made them millions with HIS technology.
Then Steve Jobs also had nothing to do with Apple, just a marketing guy
@@taketwochickens2888 Yeah it is widely known that Wozniak was the technical brains behind apple, embarrassing that you don't tbh
space x is more impressive than some toy golf cart company anyways
@@JackBaker954 Why should someone be embarrassed about not Knowing something?
Whilst I’m all for presenting a balanced viewpoint, you a blindingly ignoring the facts of this man being a completely socially irresponsible misogynist and racist, who runs glorified live-in sweatshops.
His past and current behaviour shows no such noble intentions or consideration for “humanity”, only ruthless and blind ambition for his own narrow interests.
He’s incredibly intelligent and driven, but what use is that if there’s a striking lack in basic empathy and compassion?
I’m all for cheering on creators who do a good job, but it’s kinda staggering how many people rush to comment how great the content of the video is, how great the editing is, etc. on every single one within seconds of him posting it, ie before they’ve even watched the video they’re praising.
And how its always the same comment over and over again like “can we take a moment to appreciate how much effort he puts in his videos?”
I think a lot of them are bots
they are mostly bots, if you open their acc you will see they are all the same, mostly they choose a picture of a "hot girl" and all have the same videos.. youtube is full of this.. and don't ban it becouse it realy helps to have this all extra coments and views so they can show how "many people" uses their platform.
This video was pretty poor information wise. Just saying Elon is intelligent and that he made robots and rockets. HE didn't make any of that
And this was one of the more shittier videos. Way too much praise for Elon.
You forgot a few scandals that the other "successful" elon companies have been through. Some are even as recent as last week with neuralink

@@FireWyvern870 That's why you and your friends didn't invent PayPal when you were 22, because you didn't have the money.

It's pathetic to hide behind your keyboard and pick on a man who's done so much.
He may have had a few million from his parents but that sure didn't make him the richest man on the plant.

Elon is actually giving us a huge favour by destroying a cesspool that is Twitter.
Wait wha-

He is not destroying he is fixing it. The one who destroyed it have left.

Destroying?! Twitter has grown massively, since he bought it and is doing better than ever.
I think she meant by destroying the far left progressive idiots that were ruining twitter and getting away with it.

I think this video is giving Elon Musk way too much credit. Find it a bit problematic.
Can we stop saying "Elon is smart enough to do x"
He's not. He's not doing the engineering, the calculations, the physical labor, etc. He has money. That's it. Hell even the people at PayPal (which Elon did NOT create) said his work on projects had to frequently be re-done because of how clunky and inefficient it was.
The engineers and scientists at these companies deserve credit. Not Elon. He's not some genius.
so you saying: give me his money and I can achieve 10X what this bumbling idiot has achieved
@Foxfire Gaming hell probably.
You're giving him way too much benefit of the doubt and way too much credit. I understand that it's not possible to fit such a complicated topic into a small video. I would like to tell the viewers that there's much more to the story, just look more into it. Mogul mail, Penguinz0, Atrioc, The Friday Checkout, Adam Conover and others have covered the events of the past few months extensively so I would recommend everyone to check out some of their videos.
I'd be very surprised if Arun wasn't paid for this video. Arun's way too smart of a guy to actually hold these beliefs
@@Fridge_Fiend I think people easily could be forgiven until very recently for drinking the Koolaid on Musk. Any journalist has no excuse. Musk's constant lies about what his companies will do and incredible narcissism should be obvious to anyone paying any amount of attention. He constantly sets goals that are often impossible even in best case scenario, which in my view makes him a con man, and he has put on full display insanely manipulative behavior that if any of us were to do, we'd rightfully be called sociopaths.
@@Fridge_Fiend He could just be biased. It's not like intelligent people can't be stupid for certain things. It's just, now I'm wondering if he's been really stupid about other things as well...
@@Fridge_Fiend Ikr, idk if I trust the reputation of this channel when he says stuff like “he’s built electric cars and rockets and brain interfaces” as if the engineers who spent years developing them who he hired weren’t the ones who did it.
@@rahulr1305 Yeah and i think Arun is product-biased, he likes SpaceX & Tesla, leading him to like Elon inevitably.

Quite the opposite, this video biasedly ignores many burning issues of the cest pool that Twitter was.

@@rickojay7536 The irony and the poor self awareness is pathetic yet charming.

It felt like he was shilling hard for Elon.
"There's no arguing how smart he is" made me chuckle
Careful, he might not let you inside his AI powered Martian smart city if you keep making fun of him.
There isn’t any arguing how smart he is. He has a genius level IQ and was developing software at the age of 10 and selling it to major company’s.
Were you developing software at the age of 10? I didn’t think so. So I wouldn’t be making fun of someone’s intelligence when your vastly less intelligent.

Billionaires don't get to be billionaires by being altruistic and self sacrificing. You should immediately be skeptical of anyone with that much money and power. Also, he's not as brilliant as he's led people to believe. He really hasn't created anything himself. He buys others ideas and puts money behind it.
He made plenty of enormous fails
You don't get to be a billionaire by being egotistical, either. The only way to get there is to create something that millions of people are willing to pay money for, totalling in your billions.
As such, whatever you did, it must be something.
@Merthalophor "I agree"
- Sam Bankman Fried
I agree completely with your sentiment
I always feel like people with such sentiments are really a bit bitter, about the fact that some people can have so much money while they, presumably, don't... and I guess they wonder how can it be that somebody is living such a life, while they are so agonizingly normal? It must be that they're crooks.
It must be that they're stealing other people's ideas, other people's resources, and make money out of it, while "creating nothing on their own". Right?
Here's a question. You're saying that there are a lot of people running around with brilliant ideas, which billionaires steal to make a profit. Isn't it conceivable that the billionaires themselves are one of these brilliant people? Why do they have to be those that steal, wouldn't at least some of the people on your little story that are brilliant but get stolen from, be so brilliant that they decide hey, I can make money out of my ideas, and then become billionaires themselves?
I pity you for having such a boring world view.
I thought you actually managed to get an interview with Elon as I remember he replied to your tweet, what happened 🤔
Yeah but I watched the mbkhd video
No wonder he looks soo biased in this video. Have to appease elon to get that interview.
@@anirudh7463 guys, he's just staring facts, not being biased, I think the problem is your bias, not his...
Again another video where people seem to be scarred of speaking freely against Elon Musk.
1:40 i think he was actually about to lose the trial, and so instead of losing the trial and gaining bad publicity along with giving 1Bn$ he decided to go in
Yeah I thought he was going to dive more into that detail. Seems Elon didn’t want all of his communication revealed in the trial so he stopped the trial through going through with the purchase
.... and in the process of that he sold it as a win for free speech
This part is just option really because there is no proof of both personally I think he was trying to lower price.
@@navysnow5618 He was trying to avoid the shitshow he's on now. Paying 44 billion for a 10 billion dollar company was laughably stupid.

"IT CAUSES COMPLETE CHAOS"
I can't remember the last time I used twitter, and I'm on track to quitting social media as a whole and I have to say - life has never been more enjoyable.
The people who care so much about twitter are caring for the wrong reasons. Elon is caring because it's a platform with lots of influence on people, giving him power to control. Those people are worrying about ratio-ing, arguing and impressing people online with 'witty one-liners' because they genuinely can't think of a better thing to do in their day. That's a sad life.
$44 billion for a company with no discernible assets ???
Cuckoo ! Cuckoo !!

Musk is defending against claims that he defrauded investors by tweeting on August 7, 2018, that he had "funding secured" to take Tesla private at $US420 per share, and that "investor support is confirmed".
The trial tests Musk's penchant for taking to Twitter to air his sometimes irreverent views, and when the world's second-richest person can be held liable for crossing a line.
Tesla's stock price surged after Musk's 2018 tweets, only to fall as it became clear the buyout would not happen.
Investors say they lost millions of dollars as a result. The poor investors who care nothing else about the World other then their own personal greed made a poor decision, are asking the World to be sympathetic to their plight. My heart bleeds.
@@rogerjamespaul5528
Capitalism is based on greed, genius. Without greed, capitalism would not exist.
Activists can use twitter for activism.
So, he’s building a “digital town square” that’s also an “everything” app - ie, Amazon (purchases) PayPal (payments), TikTok (short vids), TH-cam(long vids), Facebook(social), Google (ads, with preference for his own companies). But he’s NOT doing it for money, instead he’s doing it out of the kindness of his own heart, because he loves us. Got it.
Yes of course, thank you sweet billionaire overlord, how wholesome
That’s the kind of thing dictators promise, except at least with dictators you get some use from their projects.

"How often is it, that you can complain about a massive social media corporation and then the CEO himself answers your calls?"
Brah, in what universe is this a good thing?! You'd think a CEO is paid to do something a bit more impactful than be the company's one call center rep. This reminds me of those reality shows like Kitchen Nightmares, when the boss is too busy cleaning the place to actually lead. It's very dysfunctional behavior.
Yeah, there's no way a leader micromanaging is a good thing.
@@FireWyvern870 well considering how well Elon is doing micromanaging companies he's doing alright
@@deadlyseven8008 Nah lmao all his companies are quite literally run on government subsidies. look at tesla stock now lmfao.
@How ya doin today Barb micromanaging is a necessity in the beginning. First you need to focus upon the trees, thereafter you look after the forest.
@@FireWyvern870 :)) Where's your smart car company innovating? Or maybe one that sends rockets into space, and for the first time in history, they're not disposable? You talk as if you can understand why he's micromanaging so much.
You are completely wrong about Elon's merits for Tesla or the other companies. There is one principle saying like that: you don't need to be the smartest person, but surround yourself by people that are smarter than you and put them do the job instead. This is exactly what he does, he's not a genius in the way you described him. Just taking the right oportunity at the right time, thinking he is superior compared to other people. Neither was his inventions at all, he bought Tesla, Paysafe and the other companies more or less the same way he bought Twitter. People tend to forget history. I would say this is the first video where I feel like you did not make a proper research.
i think you're being way too generous towards elon musk. he's carefully cultivated an image of being a genius who will push us into the future, when in reality almost all his ventures have depended almost entirely on lying to investors. he's not nearly as qualified as you seem to think he is
Could you do a pt 2 talking about the Twitter files and Twitter banning elonjet and other critics of his???

As small creator, my goal was to get verified. Didn't see it coming this way though.
this obsession of people wanting to be verified blows me. you said it yourself, you're a small creator. why do you think you NEED to be verified and for that to happen, people should first need to know who you ar, which at this moment, they don't. In no way i'm attacking you but instead the dozens of nobodies that crave day and night for that sweet blue tick. You don't need that to grow and have a stable fanbase. And no, don't come and tell me that that blue tick serves its purpose to distinct you from the fake accounts that pretend to be you. People don't do that with nobodies
@@TheFili6 its for sure a social thing, generally speaking its hard to put your success in proportion when its only numbers; which humans are historically bad at putting into proportion. Something like verification on those websites serve as a "Look, I've made it, and this super popular platform even acknowledges it!" token. For the most part i think platforms use the fake account argument as a way to add such a malicious social ploy without people questioning it.
@@TheFili6 For me it's just a goal lol I've been Twitter user for well over decade now and it's always been huge achievement for anyone to get. I'm already verified SoundCloud rapper and what else, but in Twitter it was almost like myth to get verified for so long. Now that's here my goal is reached and I can move on to other things. I get what you mean tho with the "needing" to be verified, but I don't really feel that I "need" it, its one of those nice to have things, even for month. I don't want it for status or exposure but just for sake of having it once for my stupid personal goal.
@@TheFili6 twitter literally shadowbans you from search results, this social medium is awful
I have watched other content you have made and felt I have learned much from what you published. This time you have covered a story with which I am familiar, and honestly disappointed by the factual inaccuracies and bias of the analysis. It really makes me doubt the other videos you have published as a result.
You paint Musk as a humanitarian, powerful, progressive, transparent, successful, and intelligent being (you said there is no debating his intelligence). You emphasise his track record and conveniently ignore the vast wealth he inherited that enabled him to make money in his company. You describe the so-called "Twitter blue" as amping up monetisation when it was a flagrant misunderstanding of the function of verification status (i.e., to establish a user's authenticity, not notoriety). You claim he has to fire people to emulate his other, more successful businesses. You do not explain why he had to do it so ruthlessly without providing redundancy notices. You also falsely claim that he does not ban accounts. However, this ignores that accounts impersonating Musk and journalists reporting musk had their accounts banned.
Yeah, the same goes to me. Now I am also doubting his previous videos.
"No one has a track record like Elon Musk."
Let's look at that track record for just a moment:
Announced far distance travel via rocket that... didn't happen.
Announced on multiple occasions that Teslas are equiped with "full self driving now", which... feels like glorified cruise control.
Presented a laughably bad robot on his second AI-day
Announced that he was selling solar roof tiles "now", which... were a scam and actually ended with him in court, admitting that the houses with solar roofs were all-non functional.
Claimed he was able to build tunnels significantly faster and at a fraction of the price compared to the competition - neither of which turned out to be true.
Announced the tesla semi in 2017 with the claim that anyone preordering it at that date would get theirs in two years time - equipped with full self-driving and convoi technology - and that it would beat diesel trucks in a single truck scenario and rail in a convoi. Well, the semi is out since this year and seems to be able to carry about half of what a normal semi can carry before it hits the maximum weight allowed on roads with significantly shorter mileage and nightmarish recharging times. In fact, it is such an embarrassment that they're not even selling it.
Yes, nobody has a track record like Elon Musk. Because Elisabeth Holmes got shut down after one scam.
I still can't move on with his interview about sending human to Mars in 10 years. The interview was from 2011.
Thank you!
@@42_10_ true, that one too. He just made so many ludicrous claims that I couldn't remember them all.
@@42_10_ He made a promise. Believe in it no matter what generation it will come true. If you don't believe it in then it will never happen.
@8:00 Please don't word stuff like this as if Elon himself did any of those things.
He bough the companies that did those things.
You're telling me elon wasn't the one with starbase idea, neuralink, Tesla bot or other updates & remember SpaceX & Tesla were a decade ago in bankrupt but he somehow saved them by selling PayPal.. He's not god but he's doing things normal billionaires won't do .. & twitter is a bad deal , i agree but not all of em are bad .. from a perspective neuralink is helping neurology science & disabled ppl , SpaceX is literally taking humanity towards space in safer & progressive way
This video is going to age like milk 😂
He keeps it reasonably vague and open ended. He should've taken a more firm stance but I get why he won't
After a few incorrect references made, I learned more about the poster of the video than the topic discussed. So I agree, 6 month old milk, in the middle of summer 😩
@@satya7198 I dunno, alot of things he said weren't true....
@@mackrogers2705 Did he get some facts wrong?
Already has! It's been really difficult to find people still willing to disseminate e.m's bs, but this guy obviously has no problem.
Nevermind all the half-truths and negative things he left out.
Twitter improved a lot under Elon. His "love for humanity" is somewhat questionable though considering he is also one of the world's greatest crypto scammers.
I hoped you would have a less fanboy take on this one. The firing of over 4000 employees violating every law outside of the US, the insane crunch of the few developers forced to stay due to their visas, the fact that he's engaging with so much far right extremist profiles and is just so obviously a tantrum move from him totry to silence everyone who badmouths him. Nothing of this is "improving humanity".
He’s not that smart. He’s taken over the companies mentioned and fired their CEO. He’s invented nothing lol. But I do appreciate this video and all your content.
It's a smart move beacuse he could not know if the things he was investing would give him a good feedback it was all a dangerous move that he made.
And then went on to lead those companies to be even bigger and more successful then they were before.
Yet he has helped build rockets and build companies from the ground up. I know for sure you can't do that, so explain how he isn't "smart."
you don't need to invent to show your intelligence .. that's an argument made by stupid people ..
Albert Einstein never invented anything .. he just thought about stuff
same with Stephen Hawking .. he never invented stuff..
Steve Jobs was a genius, he didn't invent stuff, but he knew which inventions would work best and what people wanted ..
@@huntercardwell6607 Well, he hasn't really done it by himself, he has just taken the credit of the team working behind him.

My biggest issue is his idea of giving twitter blue subscribers preferential treatment in the algorithm, saying stupid stuff like "only bots and trolls wil be left at the bottom of the replies".

So much for free speech.
So disconnected that he makes tons of money while you sit back and cry.
No, no... That was the point. That's always the point with things like this. He knows many people can't afford it, but he doesn't care, he will target the average consumer of Twitter and make them pay even if it's the last bit of money they have. It's fucked up.

Hi
Hi
HOW DID YOU JUST MAKE ELON MUSK TWITTER SOUND GOOD?!?!?
It is a wonderful thing. They are all sad because their censorship is now dead. Twitter files.
What a disappointing video. I can’t believe you’re falling for Elon lies.
The analysis of the purchase of Twitter is completely wrong. You can’t take what Elon says at face value! The bots thing was a complete smoke screen; he said that publicly but said nothing of the sort in court where he’s obligated to be truthful.
Similarly, he didn’t suddenly “decide” to go through with the deal. He had no choice, because his contract obligated him to purchase the company. Delaware courts basically never allow purchasing agreements to be rescinded. He knew Twitter was going to win; don’t fall for his scam that he had any agency by that point.
Elon got pissed off at Twitter, made an impulse decision to buy the company and then was too arrogant to listen to his lawyers and signed the stupid contract he couldn’t get out of. Now he’s stuck with it, and is gutting the beast in hopes of recouping some portion of his otherwise massive personal losses from the whole fiasco.
Its close to 2023 and people still believe that Musk is a genius. Thats crazy...
I don't know why but this video just made me feel a cover-up of Elon's bullshits! Just because his other companies are doing well that doesn't make him a genius, it just shows he has hired smart people to run the company.
Even if that what he do, that only means he know how to spot a good talent/hired good employees, which is a very important ability as a CEO.
His other companies are doing well because he's great at conning governments for taxpayer money.
"Let that sink in"
Well o boy it surely did sank 😬
Twitter was losing $4million a day BEFORE Elon.
Yea he misrepresented that tweet. He was talking about twitter up to that point. Not just at the point he took over.
honestly elons right about helping humanity. if he makes twitter better, great. if he makes it shut down, great
Fr either way is better
Do not believe a word coming out of Elon's mouth. He is a businessman, and he doesn't give a flying f about "helping humanity" - that is just his PR line to garner tax credits from govt (which he did multiple times) and support from people (which he has).
He had saved the company from falling . Otherwise the stock price is like Snapchat same shxt
I had to like it so that it gets the holy number. buh yh I agree
This video hasn't aged well.
Elon says he wants to "free" twitter then bans the account that mocks him and recently the account that monitors his private jet lmfao

@@Sufia-14-Khan who
It's almost as if he was really just trolling when talking about buying Twitter, they called him on it, now he's gonna destroy it.
Jesus, actually evenly enforcing the TOS across accounts and exposing the garbage going on behind the scenes is "destroying" Twitter, then so be it.
Mrwhostheboss, considering the supposed "work" environment the previous regime supported...
It wouldn’t be the worst thing.
Twitter has been a net negative on the world I’d say.
Why...
They went to Extreme Lengths to Prevent him from Buying... Then they sued him to Force him to Buy It. Then they sued him Because he Bought It.
He Slashed Expenses by shedding thousands of useless employees.
He got rid of the Bots.... Twitter had never made a Profit since going Public.
Bots don't Buy Things.... People do. So Long Range... He might make a Buck.
But he doesn't NEED to!
Doubt he's really trying to destroy it after taking out a $12 billion dollar loan to buy.
I've loved all your previous videos and on most occasions felt even inspired after watching them, having said that, this is your worst video (of the ones I've seen).
It's very biased, ignoring the cest pool that Twitter was. Though you mention the Twitter files, you completely ignore the biased narrative that Twitter has been manipulating. Furthermore you find Kathy Griffin humour funny ??? ... holding the bloody severed head of a president. Far more people have had their accounts closed for minor hate speech inciting violence compared to her hate. You've lost me as a subscriber.
Have you been paid by Elon Musk to make this video? I have a little doubt on it.
(And the most ridiculous was when you said that he did it for human's sake and not money.)
What ACTUALLY happened seems to just be what everyone knows via the news.
Strange innit, how they divide us along a single provident axis based on issues that in actuality are trivial at best, delivering two versions of the narrative to demoralize and pacify, while they comfortably walk the actual agenda right up the middle without any real resistance whatsoever?
How can we accomplish any.. hey look sportsball!

@@ruthtrentwood3374 um by value of comparison? Compare bill gates or Zuckerberg for example who aims to keep users glued to applications for ads or trace adsense. I'd take someone who makes rockets and electric cars than Epsteins buddies.
@@ruthtrentwood3374 well, Tesla for example. He’s was told would never work, yet he wanted a future with electric cars so he did it anyways. He builds these companies because he wants society to move in a certain direction, no matter the cost. He’s doing it for the people, but he is also a businessman, so he knows how to make money in the process. If he didn’t make money, he couldn’t keep making advancements. He bought Twitter because he saw that it was incredibly biased to the left, they could say anything they wanted without repercussions (some were talking about making dating minors a normal thing) meanwhile the president gets banned for calling people patriots, which twitter (pre Elon) deemed was a coded message for incitement. Elon wants Twitter to have a voice on both sides, not just the left.
I know Arun is talking positively here because given his career path he may have to interact with Elon and he doesn’t want the conversation to be awkward because of what he previously said
Nah more like Susan the Ceo of TH-cam tells him what to say.
Nah he seems to have lot my respect.
nah he's just speaking is opinion
you cant be serious
Or he just has his own opinion and he can see the positives from both sides while acknowledging that each argument has its merits and the parts that might be problematic, stop insinuating his selling out because it's Elon musk and just take it for what it is..... HIS OPINION 👍
I know that you're trying to be neutral and trying to present some general facts and knowledge but Elon is not some wonder kid man 😂. He just owns companies that have potential and kicks out their CEOs. He's the world's richest man child and that's all there to it.
I think you've ascribed too much credit and intelligence to Elon musk. The man has been the beneficiary of the work of 100s of engineers the world over and takes all the credit. He's made no end of fuck ups and still gets good coverage like he's a genius.
This video just went in circle and landed me where it started!
7:40 Would you really refer to the Twitter Files as 'transparency'? As Jack Dorsey replied on that tweet, true transparency would be showing all the decisions made at Twitter not just the ones that confirm the message he's trying ot spread.
Fun fact: if you say “fun fact” almost everyone will read it 🔥
Who thinks Twitter will self-destruct?
It won’t
Considering he sold $3.5billions of Tesla stock to keep Twitter afloat and pay for office rent, very likely unless he wants to doom his core business, Tesla.
Every day that I wake up and am not bombarded by news stories about someone having just killed that douche bag with their car, their .30-06 hunting rifle from a couple thousand feet away, et cetera... I am more surprised than I was the day before when it didn't happen. He is the ultimate narcissistic - and, possibly, sociopathic - mad scientist with a god complex... and he also happens to be the wealthiest person in the world. If you gave that to 100 authors, not one of them would come up with a novel in which things ended well for the human race, that was actually a believable book.
10:00 yeah no, he ban people that he don't like so...
