Why is he always allowed to fail and still have his ludicrous fan base? Because the head demon, Sean, in "The Good Place" is correct: "I took the form of a 45-year old white man for a reason: I can only fail up."
plutocracy
hey chelsea can you please tell me what does you armpit smell and taste like
10:17 It sounds like she is saying he could buy all Portugal. ( she clearly is).. which is a monumentally stupid thing to say. He could hire all the workers, buy all the products produced that year, pay for all the property tax/ interest on loans so on... for a full year AND ONLY A YEAR.
He could NOT buy the land and buildings or all the companies themselves and a bunch of other things not included in GDP calculations. This is why you should take a grain of salt listening to leftists talk about finance (for the most part) or right wingers talk about social issues
edit: the video has other problems but i like the message so i wont be too harsh
Elon gives off “I’m not like the other billionaires” vibes.
He is Such a "Pick Me"!
Yeah, most billionaires actually had good ideas, except Elon and Cuban. Cuban made a good investment in the Mavs
*Anyone who is not investing now is missing a tremendous opportunity Imagine investing $1000 and receiving $12,400 in 48 hours Thanks to Kathy🇺🇸🇺🇸*
what most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I’m grateful to Kathy Sammy❤️
Kathy is the best female broker to do business with, she’s trustworthy and God fearing She trade my investment and I’m earning profit.
Her good works already speaks for her last week I invested $500 and got $6,200 and that’s Just in few days after I started in happy.
I’m actually looking for a trustworthy broker to guide me through?

The story of his programming skills as a kid was always one I rolled my eyes at. I was coding in BASIC at age 5 and had moved on to Visual Basic and C++ by age 11. At 12 I had several games under my belt. My problem was that my parents were financially illiterate and poor, the latter more than likely because of the former, so I never had the tools or support to try and turn that skill into something I could be paid for; I always gave away my programs for free. People drastically underestimate the impact having those resources has on being able to build wealth. I just know there are legitimate geniuses working minimum wage jobs because that's all they've been given the tools to achieve. I've been lucky and have managed to get myself into software engineering, but I worked hard and long to get here; took me until the age of 40. Not because I wasn't smart enough to do it at a much younger age, but I had to build up my own resources and support from scratch.
Get man now go build a business and start building your net worth. No need to be jealous of what someone else has. Focus on yourself and not what others are doing. We all start at different levels. Your kids will be much richer than you ever were. I know my daughter will.
same, nearly word for word. I'm sort of glad I didn't end up a 20 year old business owner, as I might never have gotten over my "bootstrapping" ego I had during my 20s. but it sure would have been nice to be retired by now and just work on my own software projects that aren't so easily monetized.
@@pgmz24 He's not "jealous", he is explaining the reality of differences. Why are you responding to false points this person isn't making?
@mogad Do I know you? What corner were you hiding in watching me when I was 5 that you could claim to know I'm lying? I assure you I'm not. My dad worked as a petroleum engineer when I was that age. He made good money, but he and my mom were terrible with it. I'm not sure where it all went, as I was I was too young to understand at the time. The computer we had was a computer he had for work. According to him, I kept pestering him so he handed me the manual and told me to read it, so I did. I still remember it had little fairy-like creatures drawn in the margins, sprites, because that chapter was discussing graphics, how to produce sprites. I also recall it being the first time I learned about peek and poke; they stuck with me because I thought they were funny and it being a very complex concept for me at the time. My dad lost that job soon after and worked as a handyman/school bus driver from then on, but we still had the computer.
I would say I was ignorant, not stupid. The games weren't shit or everyone that played them lied to me. I enjoyed playing them, too. *shrug* I just had no sense of value. I wasn't raised that way. My parents were super conservative evangelical Christians that believed in the evils of money. I think that helped them feel better about never having any.
Yup, started coding at eleven, made a couple games at 16. On my TI83 calculator.
The fact that losing 17% of your net worth means something totally different depending on how much money you have to start with is one I wish got pointed out more often. For most people, that actually has an effect on what they can afford to buy. For someone with billions of dollars - how is that going to change their day-to-day existence in any material manner?
This a great point,
But, for most people it is recoverable. Maybe not for Elon
I love how the TFD team uses this platform to address very financially and socially problematic figures like Elon. It's a great antidote to the social media hype train of these uber rich weirdos 😌
Thank you so much!
agreed. why is musk that conceited in his actions? if he gave up half of his fortune to improve his worker's conditions & help the country, then he'd be seen as the hero his worshippers think of him as...instead, he acts like a tone deaf asshole that's far above it all!
10:17 It sounds like she is saying he could buy all Portugal. ( she clearly is).. which is a monumentally stupid thing to say. He could hire all the workers, buy all the products produced that year, pay for all the property tax/ interest on loans so on... for a full year AND ONLY A YEAR.

Hahaha “is my husband Elon Musk, no he still has all of his hair” I’m dead 😂
Why did I just get to that part of the video when I read this comment lol
I was gonna comment the same thing!!
The SHADE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Apparently it’s okay for her to make derogatory comments about someone else, but when Elon Musk says derogatory things he is evil?
Savage 😂
Elon Musk is proof that not only do we need a reasonable minimum wage, we also need a reasonable MAXIMUM one.
The problem with that is Elon doesn't get much a wage. Like all of his money except for like 10 billion of it comes from the price of his Tesla stock going up.
Every CEO get paid in stocks in order to avoid taxes
Elon Musk probably makes less money per year from wages or salary payments than you do.
@@That_One_Guy... you pay taxes on stocks... Stock options... a complete different matter.
Yeah, obviously we don't need competition, common sense or hard work either. Right? Lol
I never understood why people simped for Musk so much. People who do that are usually cringy hustle bros, wannabe entrepreneurs or fake gurus
Not an Elon simp, but there are 3 reasons why I think people are attracted to him.
1) He presents himself as an overly online engineering nerd, something that appeals to a lot of overly online engineering nerds
2) He is part of the reason (not the most important reason) of why Tesla is so successful, and Tesla did give a large kick to the electric car market.
3) SpaceX has created a lot of innovation in the space industry, and is now part of how NASA sends astronauts to space. A lot of online nerds like space shit, so they'll like Elon.
It's the rockets tbh, NASA can't and won't do that - but doesn't seem like she's going to talk about that. We are all apes, what do I know apart from watching some rich white girl before the property market collapses from greed. She does focus on the rich white-guy, like she's jealous :D She would love to be a super-vileness? yeah english is rude, but sitting through that many words is dirty when this video could have taken 3-5 mins.
I went to business school and he's presented as this prolific entrepreneur god guy we are supposed to aspire to be. More science and engineering students are suscribing to this as they move into business. I'm seeing the same trends from university just in society now, but not digested by people who have more information/knowledge to see it for what it is
Omg yes, sadly I didn't know this when I fell for one. I've learnt a lot since then 😬
I think it also demonstrates just how pervasive conservatives ideology is today. The Prosperity Gospel and Bootstrap Mentality are everywhere, even among "regular" people.
Yeah, I’ve been put off by the hero worship myself. And I’ve started blocking or hiding posts and other content on Facebook and Twitter every time it’s something about Musk. The amount of time he occupies my brain space due to his Stan base is as disproportionate as his wealth. He’s essentially a tech Kardashian - all about getting attention.
People think you can win by arguing with him, but in fact you need to mute the guy and take away his reach.
I'm going to steal that term "tech Kardashian". That's hilarious!! Thanks
Lol! “Tech Kardashian”! That is a perfect description! 😂🤣
Seethe and cope, you pro-censorship harpy.
A tech Kardashian with 5 times the intellect , knowledge and expertise .
@Stone Blue You can’t take away his reach to others, but you can certainly take it away to you. And I f enough people do it, it makes a difference. Owning Twitter doesn’t automatically make all the users follow you. When Musk can tweet whatever he’s tweeting and impact the stock market, it’s because people are giving him their attention, and their actions are being influenced as a result. In the 21st social media world, your attention translates to money and influence, but regular people are still not appreciating this enough to weaponize it. A lot of people stand to lose a lot of reach from the hide, block, “not interested”, and unfollow buttons.
These days, when I talk to a billionaire-Stan, I ask them to envision what their life would be like if they made just one million dollars every single year.
Then, I point out that they would have to work ONE THOUSAND YEARS at that rate to make just one billion.
Absolutely NOBODY deserves that level of wealth. Not one.
You can do it.. just have to work harder... pull yourself up by your bootstraps. ✌✌
@@johnsmith-cw3wo The ol bootstraps argument basically accuses most people in the United States of being lazy, and "not working hard enough." But most billionaires got their wealth from luck and their parents, and only work because they get bored. May I ask, did you even watch the video?
@@johnsmith-cw3wo there's no way you can become rich from working hard ... do you not read the fucking comment ? you would have to be immortal in order to become rich from working hard, Billionaires doing it by exploiting workers and (do you remember this high school math thing called : ) exponential growth.
Hey Chelsea, here's the nail, and what you did is hit that thing right on the head. I've been saying for years that guy has one heck of a good PR company. Not a genius, but definitely has billionaire lunacy mastered.
"the second most divorced man in space" has me dying
It should be a sport to introduce him like Chelsea does 🌚
Wait, who is the most divorced?
Nm, she answered it.
@@alwaysapirateroninace443 you know looking into it he might actually be the most divorced man in space with a grand total of 3 (two to the same person)
I have to ask this: if Elon Musk and the other uber-wealthy are centi-billionaires, shouldn't his personal assistant be making billions as well? Or millions? Why does everyone under these people have to be making fractions of cents on their dollar?
Actually a lot of the tesla staff and workers who didn't sell their stocks they got through stock grants are millionaire or close to it. Which is why they preferred the stock options in lieu to unionization.
Wasn't it Elon who fired his long term assistant when she asked for a raise? He said go for a vacation and if things work fine without you, you can quit and if not you will get the raise. Ofcourse everything went fine without her (presumably because Elon can easily temporarily hire someone to replace her).
Good luck trying to ask for money to bosses who don't give a fuck about you.
@@EarthlingNo7 if you look at all tech companies tho, wouldn’t that just be betting on a lotto ticket
@@djackio agreed! To keep stocks is a total gamble aaaand not a lot of people have the luxury to wait and see
He famously fires anyone who thinks they should be making more money and stands up to him to negotiate for it. He has no personal loyalty and doesn’t care about or love anyone except himself.
I fell into the trap of thinking he was amazing so I like learning the truth behind his wealth. I've also seen people say "Well why is it a big deal he owns Twitter, it's just social media" but they don't realize it's like the biggest one that influences quite a bit in politics. Economic power should not transfer to political power.
Here to give a thumbs up after watching on Hasan's Stream.
"But it's not liquid!"
I've had a friend in finance explain how comically easy it is to turn things like shares into cold hard cash while still technical legally dodging taxes.
Yeah just take a lone against the assets and loans are tax free
@@zpokie123 interest is deductible too! Double tax savings 😑 (me, a cpa student too close to the exam)
@@zpokie123 are you suggesting that you won’t pay income taxes on loan proceeds? Because you will.
@@sim771 I need a CPA to help me dodge taxes this way! :) I mean “optimize my tax burdens”…..
@@zpokie123 this is exactly what is going on with the twitter sale, even if it doesnt go through there is a 1 million or billion (can remember off the top of my head) option fee that can be used as capital losses for taxes. Plus the added benefit of the stock not taking a dive during the Amber Heard trial with her testifying that at the time of the abuse she was hanging out with Elon taking ambien.
Excellent video. People love to believe in the idea that we can have these charismatic super genius inventors but usually it's just a rich dude in front taking the credit for the work of the actual geniuses who are boring and don't have fun Twitter accounts.
It's probably not entirely true, based on what I've seen he is a good engineer and engineering lead for Tesla but especially for SpaceX. But the fact is that both companies are filled with good engineers that are probably as good or better than him, but he is the rich entrepreneur that started SpaceX so he is boss
*coughcough*SteveWozniakWasTheGeniusOfAppleNotSteveJobs*coughcough* 😁
@@xWood4000 What have you seen that makes him a good engineer? Because from all his public statements on technology and engineering all I can hear is utter and total scientific illiteracy at best, and a downright attempt to scam people at worst. I know of some *actually* good engineers/leads who started sneaking questions like "What do you think about the Hyperloop?" on interviews for engineers and use it as a quick litmus test of ones' engineering prowess-if you think that's a good and sound idea, you are not a good engineer, period.
Yes u r right. He is only taking credit of the efforts and hard work of others. And even he do lots of politics to keep himself above all. To keep himself above, he downgrades other companies
And let's not forget, in the mid 1980's Apartheid was still a thing. So being white came with a double advantage for him.
Specially when he grew up in South Africa which a very racist country.
His wealth would be less of a problem if he were at least a competent manager.
There is something particularly wrong with a market that allows this kind of valuation without real results.
It's the issue of futures and monetary value without any actual product. You don't even need to make anything to make insane stacks of cash.
yes, something I never understood about Tesla. They were valued higher than companies like Mercedes or BMW that actually produced and sold cars when they not a single Tesla was sold yet.
No, it wouldn't, because every person on earth is fallable and having that much wealth is an extreme amount of disproportionate power, where you can cause the deaths of thousands of people with your decisions and have it seen as not your fault as it's just the course of doing business.
@@seratia123 stock valuation is a forward looking metric and those other companies are expected to contract in the future while Tesla is expected to continue growing
Elon Musk is a modern day Thomas Edison, and I don’t mean that in a good way
While Edison was much better (and ruthless) businessman, he at least had quite of an engineering mindset (at least judging by his recorded quotes and speeches). Elon does not, he's a good BS peddler, but he is super-weak when it comes to pretty much any engineering subject he ever put in his mouth... He is as ruthless as Edison, tho. And has much, much better PR.
@@zwerko Nah. Edison had better PR. People didn't know the real Edison until after he died. Elon is still alive and his mythos is eroding.
I don't feel like 'entrepreneur' is the right term for someone who's simply buying into an idea with little to know consequence if there's failure.
"a person who sets up a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit."
None of the standards for the term apply to what Musk is doing anymore. With paypal and that first company, sure. But nothing beyond those first two. He's just a very public investor.
Great video! Just as a note though, having a net worth equal to the GDP of Portugal does not mean he could buy all of Portugal, it means he could pay for all of the goods and services Portugal produces in one year. To compare the difference, the US GDP is about 20 trillion dollars. The US total household net worth is around $150 trillion. That doesnt include business assets, so a person with the GDP of the US in cash wouldnt be close to being able to afford buying the whole US.
That was a stupid statement, especially for a finance TH-camr. 😉
Thank you. I was too lazy to comment that but it bugged me!
@@YogiLogic Stupid seems a little strong. Mixing up net worth and income when talking about HUGE numbers is pretty common and this is basically that but on the national scale.
Yeah he can have more net worth than a countries GDP and never buy the land because it is not for sale. Furthermore if it were all the assets of a country, to include it's land, military assets and potential mineral assets they would be worth far more than it's GDP.
I thought of that and that it would be nice to think a company could be bought out for just it's annual revenue. That's not how that works. She also suggested early on with the segment on comprehending big numbers (9:10) that it was (252 x) 1,000 x a million, what "most Americans will ever earn in their lifetime." 40 years making a single million spreads to $25 000 per year. That's no overtime and literally below minimum wage in a dozen States. And she said "will ever earn," i.e., not discounting the kids that will grow up w/a Wendy's paying $20/hour when they hire on. Now maybe that isn't terribly inaccurate b/c the adult dependents of 7-figure earners could all live on nil for earnings as such, though their accountants would know the tax man charges a premium for not diverting cash flow towards those in lower tax brackets. At 13:10, she makes the opposite mistake, one part in over 8 000 was read "point zero-one-two," w/out the %.
Lastly, 15:00, "many cases" of average, every-day people should not exclude the many w/out discretionary income, but if a person can save, I'm pretty unequivocal with the idea that building the billionth part of wealth "that he is," i.e., $252, is pretty reasoned (especially true if we are ranging those saving efforts from 2015 through even 2021, when some pretty average people had gotten wealth in government checks an order of magnitude bigger).
Not wanting to take the message off center, just a whole lot of exaggeration that didn't need to be their on the piece going after the rich, white man for being flippant but, in effect, unassailable.
One more little aside from 18:32. I am pretty sure Chelsea did not learn to code in BASIC to know first-hand that it is easier than Fortran. Tom Kurtz certainly implied it needed to be so, but neither his project nor those math-and-science texts were targeted at kids in the fourth grade. Child Musk was rich and entrepreneurial, to be sure, but those were days when anyone would be grateful for PC DOS and a manual. There were no step-through debuggers, no color-coded, tab-selectable functions, no Dummies guides, and no Google, forums, or YT tutorials. Kids can do this stuff, sure; I could, but I'm still not sure saying that he was really good at a hard thing, really early days--and he kept at it--is actually a dig Only because he had to be financially well-supported to get there.
Prepare for the Elon fanboys to swarm the comments section
The infatuation and bootlicking of billionares is mind boggling to me, I just don't understand these people and they are constantly defending Musk in particular. It's really fn annoying.
I would have felt silly two weeks ago for saying so, but I start to suspect that some of this on social media may have either been paid for by Musk or by others who wanted to advance the meritocracy myth for their own purposes. Literally still people in his Twitter replies telling him he's doing great. Feels more and more like the actors are trying to hold the script even while the scenery's burning down around them.
I have a lot of chronic health issues. When I look at people like Musk, all I can think about is how I could get the best medical care and maybe get better if I had just a fraction of his wealth. I wouldn’t have to decide if getting a new bed or new clothes comes first. I’m triple insured do to a disability and I still have to pay for things.
Also, neuralink will only turn us into Wallie with possibly worse consequences.
The hero worship of him truly baffles me. I don't hate the guy, but I don't get why people rabidly love him either. He's just....a very wealthy guy who has had some good business opportunities. Nothing he has done strikes me as particularly genius, and I don't understand why people think wealth is somehow self-evident of genius or deserving. Plus, he frankly seems like kind of a weird guy who is more than a little full of himself. But hey, I guess it all comes down to the fact that he's living some people's dream and they desperately want to believe that they could someday be just like him.
We should consider him a dictator. Companies have more control over workers lives than governments have over their citizens.
I actually disagree that we shouldn’t worry as much about Elon Musk buying Twitter. Don’t get me wrong, everything you pointed out are very real issues and I completely agree with your take on things. However, Musk buying Twitter means he gets to control language and information in a world that is already plagued by misinformation. This gives him even more power to control his narrative, influence politicians and policies and move our culture in a direction that would favor the already wealthy elites in our society. Meanwhile his pockets get bigger, along with the wealth gap in America.
Great vid. Maybe worth also mentioning the importance of social capital in finding funding, i.e. just cause daddy didn't give you money you still got his contacts. That coming from money de-risks ventures even if that money is your daddy's, i.e. most businesses can be successful with enough investment eventually. And finally, that you don't need to be smart if you can afford good professionals and/or have an excellent family lawyer/law firm/account/big 4 firm etc.
I always grab my popcorn for your rants, but HOLY CRAP WAS THAT A RANT! I had to sit & digest it before I could even write a coherent comment. Thank you so much for this, I'm still a bit speechless
HasL
This is probably my favorite content you’ve ever produced. THANK YOU. If you want to make “Hating on Elon Musk and everything he’s ever done or stands for” a series, I would be your biggest groupie.
I second this notion ✋🏻
Same
I have always joked that for somebody who 'works hard' and runs many companies, he sure spends a lot of time on Twitter. Now that he's in the process of buying Twitter, it has a whole new meaning. Elon Musk makes the most inane tweets ever that makes me cringe. He's such a narcissist and I have heard tons of stories about how stressful the work environment at Tesla is as well as his rage firings. I'm sick of him...
Hi chat!
jesus
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, silver and digital currencies(BTC, ETH.
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 🤭. I have been earning $60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13 days.,
Thus must be an investment with Mrs Tammie Renee Sheuermann.
Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned expert Tammie Renee Sheuermann thought I'm the only none trading with her
She helped Mr recover what I lost trying to trade myself
That's amazing, I have been hearing about Mrs Tammie Renee and her genius mind in the crypto market, please how did you earn such good amount
While I agree with Chelsea, I wish she wasn't bringing up Elon's hair transplant everytime she talked about him. There's no shame in aesthetic operations as Chelsea always made it clear she's not against it and she's ok with Botox. I find it hypocritical of her to shame Elon for his hair even though I really don't like him, it's just low hanging fruit.
I think mentioning the hair transplant adds to the context surrounding his privilege, bc botox is one thing, but surgical transplant is another. Surgery doesn't have the same accessibility as using a Groupon to afford a full syringe at a beauty clinic. It also alludes to the way in which he has cultivated his image and how it plays into meritocracy, since society tends to assign value to appearances -- especially youthfulness. I don't know how much he'd be hero worshipped if he was still balding.
Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Gates are often mocked for their dweeby or robotic appearances. However, guys like Mark Cuban, Lukas Walton, Joe Gebbia, Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, Drew Houston, Tom Perrson, and now Elon Musk, are given full "Halo Effect" treatment. Elon took pains to bulk up at the gym (possibly steroids too) and get hair plugs in order to have a Cinderella glow up from dork & wholesome to dark & -handsome- full of himself. Prior to this change, he was often relegated to the basic dweebdom of Silicon Valley.
As time progressed, his best compliment was that he was our modern day Tesla -- of course in reality, he's actually credit-stealing Edison. But his change in appearance was what definitely cemented him into now being associated to a real world "Iron Man". This change in characterization from asexual loner genius to philanthropist playboy is so easy to forget, so I'm actually grateful whenever she reminds the audience (and informs any newcomers) that it took money & surgery for him to amass his fanbase.
@@YourMajesty143 well said
@@YourMajesty143 OMG thank you ! That’s so true and interesting
@@YourMajesty143 your comment was so accurate. People may think that he is just a happy go lucky nerd but make no mistake, he has been highly conscious of his image and appearance since the beginning. His first wife wrote about how adamant he was with their personal stylist that he "had to look like a legitimate engineer" insisting on wearing jeans while at work, instead of a constant suit and tie.
The mans entire persona has been cultivated for good PR and is a deliberate manipulation.
I wish the general public would wake up and recognize that he hasn't cared about the environment or climate change for years now.
I like my Financial Diet with spice 🌶. This last year showed me how many people on my offline and online life actually look up to Mr. Musk.
husband sounds like a hot smarty. we need to see him please.
Even with the fluctuation in the economy, I’m so excited I’ve been earning $45,000 from my $10,000 investment everyday 10days.
Wow! How’s that possible please I’ll appreciate your assistance on how to go about it.
Same here, I started with $3,000 now earning $28,300 bi-weekly profits with her trading program.
She's really amazing i still cannot believe someone can be this exceptional when it comes to Bitcoin activities.
I totally agree! Investment has also changed my life financially and I have heard a lot about investments with Mrs Angela Wong Render and how good she is.
I came in contact with Mrs Angela Wong Render in a conference at Washington, I meet with her at the end of her speech and was opportune to invest with her ever since then my life has become better than my past. She's a great personality in the state.
Elon Musk's father has a child with *his own stepdaughter*.
Elon's dad married into the family when the stepdaughter in question was 4 years old.
He is 42 years older than her.
I am sorry to have to bring this knowledge to your attention, but I cannot carry the weight of it alone.
I never fact-checked anything so quickly but it seems to be true, YIKES 🤢
Hahahaha, watching this just as news broke that he’s putting his idiot Twitter buyout “on hold” due to “spam accounts” as if he didn’t already know how many there were. I f’ing knew he couldn’t get that kind of liquidity together, absolute schmuck.
It's actually even stupider than that if you search for Twitter's statement, filed to the SEC, on how the deal went so far. TL;DR, Musk actually _waived the right to due diligence_.
If I was his legal counsel, I'd want to resign right now.
"Musk was apparently in a hurry to get the deal done and suggested on April 21 that his acquisition proposal was "no longer subject to the completion of financing business due diligence," preliminary proxy statement filed by the social media platform ahead of the special meeting of shareholders said. "
Capitalist Patriarchy Hero Worship.
well when you are born in apartheid south africa to white emerald mine-owning parents, it's just kinda happen
I attribute the most of Musk's success-in-the-public-eye due to the very fortunate timing of Steve Jobs's death-Apple (and Jobs himself) invested a ton in fostering the cult-of-personality of a bold visionary who dares to dream big. The bewildered masses bought it hook, line and sinker and once Jobs died they started looking for a replacement. Along comes Musk, less than a year later, promising super-visionary bold (and stupid, and unfeasible...) projects like the Hyperloop and from that point on people found a new Digital Messiah who can do no wrong, willing to excuse any, and I mean *any* brain-dead thing this man produces. The rest is, as they say, history...
You know, now that you bring it up, the death of Steve Jobs and the sudden mega-popularity of Tony Stark seem like really lucky breaks for EM in terms of public goodwill
You're incredibly well spoken. Thanks for a different perspective
THANK YOU. I truly don't get the worship of this guy.
i don't get how they view him as the "real life tony stark."
I'm tired of watching mainstream media suckle up to the rich by asking them to weigh in on subjects that these folks have not specialized in. The public seems to listen to Bill Gates talk about virology and epidemiology but scorns those who have dedicated their lives to the subject. Musk is the new wellspring of knowledge, as if what he has to say will be good for humanity?
You didn't mention how much money he's gotten from the government.
PALO ALTO, Calif.-- Tesla Motors announced that it has paid off the entire loan awarded to the company by the Department of Energy in 2010. In addition to payments made in 2012 and Q1 2013, today’s wire of almost half a billion dollars ($451.8M) repays the full loan facility with interest. Following this payment, Tesla will be the only American car company to have fully repaid the government.
@@jondcarson52 I like how you gloss over the $9+billion in additional subsidies that he didn't have to pay back.
Definitely seems like most people don't realize the guy is just an investor, not an inventor
Reusable rockets? Starlink? I don't think anyone can take credit for inventing those other than Elon and his incredibly talented team at SpaceX. There are plenty of billionaires to hate on more than Elon. Ukraine has internet solely thanks to SpaceX.
I wish this otherwise great video didn't resort to needless body shaming for a cheap joke. It's one thing to call out & recognize cosmetic treatments when we see them to meter expectations on what aging people look like, but it's another thing entirely to tie an uncontrollable genetic condition to social inferiority. Of course I'm not concerned about Elon himself on this front, but I am concerned about regular working people hearing that bit and getting the wrong message about themselves and about this channel.
Just commented the same thing, but you put it much more eloquently. I really hope she sees some of these comments (and not just the fanboys defending Musk for his actions.) Honestly, the appearance snark is especially baffling from someone who has shared her own struggles with skin/weight etc. I would expect a bit more empathy.
Commented on this too. I'm not christian but cannot help but see the use the phrase, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" in this instance.
@@kirstenmaclellan3182 That's just Chelsea being Elon...
Elon could have spent $44 billion addressing America's affordable housing crisis and instead spent it on a social media app that'll probably be irrelevant in 10 years. Comical.
I mean, the US government spend $60 billion sending munitions to Ukraine. Shouldn't we care more about what the government is doing with OUR money than what some guys does with HIS?
Why is it Elon's job to fix the nation's housing crisis? I don't think Twitter is going anywhere unless someone can create a better alternative.
@@simulatrix sending and money and weapons to stop innocent Ukrainians from being slaughtered by a madman seems fine to me
He doesn’t care about earth problems, poverty, hunger, disease, pollution, global warming etc.. he not cares about Mars.
It is possible to create a better platform than Twitter. He creating his own neighborhood in Austin, yet most of the jobs he’s creating there Pat less than $20 an hour which one cannot afford to own those homes .
A forum I'm on had a recent thread titled "Why do people hate Elon?" The OP then spent the next month arguing every criticism, most with cites, that was posted. I remember when learning someone was super wealthy earned suspicion, not applause.I haven't watched the Simpsons in over a decade - may I assume Mr. Burns is the hero now?
To obtain financial freedom, one must be either a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.
He helped me recover what I lost trying to trade myself
I'm from Los Angeles , I and two other of my friends tried him immediately we testified his performing wonders
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, it was so shocking when I withdrew $62,450 knowing I invested $15,000. I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills 😩
I'm a long term investor. I withdrew my profits of over £56,000 during the covid-19 pandemic
Long term investment is the best now. I invested $6,500 in march last year with Mr Philip McCarthy and i top up my trade with $500 every week. Now, I'm having over $147,000 on my dashboard. Toping up your trade is really important
I'm banking on his history of failure. Honestly, I want Twitter dead. I think it's a net drain on society.
Twitter is when you put the city's central plaza directly under a leaky sewage treatment plant
I think your forgetting that if Twitter goes down all that will be left is the myriad of unsuccessful right wing platforms ala "Truth" social and telegram. How is that any better than Twitter or rather how is Twitter worse than those sites?
“… his history of failure”. I’d love to fail as badly as he has.
Not a fan myself. Never signed up...
@Stone Blue
Did you not watch the video?
“And frankly, genetically, not sending be their best” ☠️☠️☠️
Loved this video, Chelsea.
I'm sorry to say this because I know that this video is sponsored but I hate fabulous because their customer service is horrible. When I cancelled my subscription after they had just charged me, they didn't return my money and I hadn't used fabulous months before I got charged.
your awesome, this is dope content thanks!!!!
Thank you Chelsea, I love how you go after these “taboo” subjects like systemic inequality, problems with Capitalism, and now the Billionaire class
I'm actually glad Elon is buying Twitter. It presents the perfect opportunity for him to destroy it and himself. Staying in his lane isn't exactly his strong suit.
Great optimism 👍 i like this silver lining 😂
Twitter is lame.
I would like for billionaires to not have their money and general people have that money instead, but destroying himself would be bad for the tech advancements his two successful companies genuinely do, Tesla and SpaceX. I want them to succeed without him, but for now it seems like his vision is needed
Thank you for taking the time to expose problematic people in power.
Wealth is power. It gives social, political and all kinds of power. So much power in the hands of individual (or few) is detrimental to the society. Hence all wealth hoarding is bad and a sin.
This. Also since people are not able to understand the amount of money and wealth people like Musk have, they assume that their problems are the same. Think about taxes, most will save at max a few hundred to a few thousand bucks with the tax breaks that are hyped up by the rich and folks in the media, while those folks are saving hundreds of thousands. Most people uphold this system because of the assumption that one day they will win the life lottery and be on the other side of the struggle and then all these things that kept them oppressed and struggling will benefit them. It’s kind of how the S corp was hyped up on small business owners but its really just a way for the rich to avoid taxes by giving themselves a salary, the money small businesses save on an s corp just ends up being spent on either accounting or time spent meeting the irs deadlines.
Yep, all Americans think they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
@@strayiggytv idk who first said that, but I remember one of the first TFD vids I watched, and when Chelsea said that or something to that effect, it was like I was hit with a massive wave, I had the *I gotta sit down and rub my forehead to process this* kinda moment. It explains so much about how people in my family “hustle” and “grind.” I am a college student working full-time, and the parent I live with pushes me to take the max credit hours, and to find a second job….even if that somehow makes me a millionaire let alone a billionaire, the trade off is poor quality life and a bad relationship to balancing work and life.
LITERALLY on my two days off (not the weekend, I am a cook) I make an effort to make sure the least amount of house work and errands are on my plate so I can go to the gym, go see a movie, take the family dogs to the park, meet up with a friend et cetera. Those five days I work are long, and I am so tired after, but once my parent saw my pay stub and laughed at how little I made. They said to get a better job…..well that is why I am trying to get my undergrad but that is expensive and you are only not giving me enough money to cover tuition for a year.
There is no way to win with people who think they are *temporarily a pre billionaire*
"Think about taxes, most will save at max a few hundred to a few thousand bucks with the tax breaks that are hyped up by the rich and folks in the media" Potentially anyone could saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax liability by fully funding a 401k.
@@strayiggytv Its a toss up between temporarily embaressed millionaires, and crabs in a bucket mentality really.
@@SDGreg (at least temporarily, but end up paying more on the basis and gains upon withdrawal)
I find the comparison to Nikola Tesla really interesting. Obviously, it’s sitting right there seeing as how he owns Tesla, but it gets more interesting when you actually look at Nikola Tesla’s career. He made a lot of really important discoveries that completely revolutionized the field of electrical engineering and technological applications on the industrial and personal scales. That’s mostly in the first half-ish of his career. After that he started looking into basically trying to invent cell phones - texting features in particular. He made the one vital mistake, though, of thinking the signal would have to travel through the Earth itself, rather than through the air. He essentially wasted millions (easily the equivalent of billions by today’s value) of money from investors on creating his massive lab on Long Island and attempting to create this under ground communications network. This drastically decreased his credibility among his contemporaries and made it incredibly difficult for him to continue working as he didn’t actually have much money of his own and therefore had rely on investments from said contemporaries. That’s not to say he wasn’t a brilliant inventor because he absolutely was and even that later “failed” work did have a decent amount of scientifically plausible background. I just thought it was an interesting parallel of praising for successes while completely ignoring the failures.
PS: This is based off of a biography I read a while ago which is why it’s relatively vague and not specific. If you know more about this than I do, please just add you knowledge in the replies section rather than coming at me. Thank you!
Idk 12 billion in taxes seems fair to me

Saw Hasan react to this video. Here to show support, like, and sub. Loving your content. 🧡🧡
I'm saying it again. Elon Musk isn't Tony Stark. He's Justin Hammer
I can't believe ive never heard of this channel, found out about it through hasanabi. Great video!
It's because he has a lot of money and is willing to treat workers like crap.
TFD using their platform for consistently speaking truth to power. I was worried to look in the comments and find Musks simps berating you for questioning his genius but sanity has prevailed:)
Is anyone else worried that In 20 years he’ll find a way to work around the South African birth thing and become president like trump? They have very similar arcs and personalities
He grew up in an elite white community in South Africa. That man has always been comfortable.
Nice content mate! So happy to announce that I have gained financial freedom by investing in digital currency. Now know that multi creation of various streams of income is the ideal Principle for financial sustainability..
Mr Harry saved me hours of research. am getting a lot from his services. I am a newbie to trading but doing pretty well.
This is exactly why have been working with his signal cause i can't risk to have 6 figures just sleeping there in my coinbase not knowing what tomorrow holds for it
As a trader myself, mostly had few gains and more losses but with Mr Harry Webar signals, i have been in the green consistently
have tested him and for sure his strategy top of the trading so what are you still waiting for?
How to start?
If any of you weird ass stans feel compelled to start whining but won’t watch the video - just go to 4:13 and watch for 5 seconds
I doubt Elon fans watched the vid up until that point lmao
Elon Musk: Creates low quality jpeg of messed up train

I LOVE IT when Chelsea brags about her famously six-foot-four husband. "Is MY husband Elon Musk? ...No, he still has all his hair."
How’s your short position doing 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Luddites are really boring 🙁
For the ones confused of the title; look into the description. It mentions what she speaks about
I'm know that you know that Tony Stark is a 1963 comics character...
Ya when will that Musk guy ever build one thing that works. What a looser...
(obvious sarcasm)
People supported monarchies because they built these lavish fairy tales around them; they descended from the Trojans/Greeks (seriously, show me one noble family in medieval times that didn't claim it was connected to Achilles, Aeneas, Paris, Julus or whoever) so they have a right to rule; they are of suprior breed (yeah sure looking at you Spain and Habsburg) so they should reign in order to make the world better for everyone; as it moved on to other elite classes, they were always sure to tell people that they're in the same boat and that they want the same even though they didn't. It works the same way today; Elon Musk tells everyone he just wants free speech for everyone, which everyone wants, right? But really he reinvites people who go beyond free speech and violate the rights of other people. Politicians, celebrities, etc do it all; they have somethibg special about them (a "natural" talent, a superior education, a rare mindset, whatever) that makes them Better but simultaneously they stress that they are Just Like You.
Not everyone who exhibits these patterns of presentation is Evil, but it's helpful to look out for this generally.
RTR was bonkers. I was checking out William the Conqueror's lineage on both ends, & it's really no wonder nobles & royalty were obsessed with the idea of RTR & the divine right of kings.
This is a great time to stay invested. One of the best strategies to remain calm and stay invested during periods of volatility is to treat investment contributions like a recurring subscription (dollar-cost averaging). Over the years l invested in several multi-family real estates and stock. That’s the best I did for myself. Lately, discovered crypto now and I feel reposed
@Augusta Green Generally, investing is not what you can venture into without having the experience and requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (investment advisor) to guide you. I operate with (Genevieve Glen Rogers) a professional who partners with an investment firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance.
I highly recommend her. You can make quick internet research with her name mentioned and get in touch with her
Genevieve is the best in this space, I'm happy to come across these recommendations. I have worked with her and I can testify to her servi¢es. I am impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism of the investment diligence packages she provides, and the return in all cases has been very positive with returns sometimes exceeding the initial plans.
Like many people, I spend the majority of my time planning for my business but pay little or no attention to my finances. I invest with her for two reasons. She finds incredible properties that give back a good return to the investor and the trust factor. You can do all the due diligence you want, yet it all comes down to who you invest with
Or maybe because he is taking down the entire auto industrie using smart engineering. Also lots of the head lines are fake or semi true. Don't just throw in cheesy headlines
Great video, but please before making hair loss jokes think about who you are really making fun of. Because it's not Elon Musk, and you might affect people that are not in a very good place and didn't expect their vulnerabilities and image issues to be pointed at in an unrelated video.
Chelsey, great contents as usually. Healthy criticism though, is sometimes hard to understand long winded sentences and statements for people as me because English is my second language. Sometimes O can’t quite grasp the idea or statement you a are trying to convey. I do relay of the transcript and closed caption to follow along. Love the channel
Good constructive feedback IMO. This channel can benefit from fewer long-winded sentences and a more "to the point" script even for native English speakers.
I have a friend whose brother also wrote a text book that became a standard in school but he has psychological issues that keeps him from holding a job.
Thank you for doing this video. I tried explaining to people why I was leaving Twitter, and none of them could understand my reasoning, which you've done so well here. This guy's no one's hero, or at least shouldn't be. I'm sharing this video with a few other people; thanks again! 👍🏾
Chelsea's got all the right people mad at her 😂Great video as always, Chelsea!
yeah great job to a channel that pretty much exploits the financial idiocy of the progressive millennial liberals. Cheers bro😂
Wait.... Elon Musk is a progressive millenial liberal???
This broaches a broader discussion about how we talk about public figures. What makes them a “good person” or a “bad person”? What bad things are unforgivable, and what good things (if any) balance them out? And do we apply this same standard equally to all people? Do we accept them as flawed individuals or reprimand them as incorrigible do-no-gooders? Everyone likes to wax poetic about their heroes and not acknowledge their flaws. Meanwhile someone decries their reputation because of 1 tweet. Or 5 tweets. How many tweets is the line? No one seems to know
the concept of "good person" and "bad person" are flawed to begin with. it is rooted in essentialism. it's just giving us some nonsense to fight over, rather than fixing the ability of any rich person or large company to have power beyond that of an individual or group of people.
i always thought you shouldn't really look up to them as a person but see the results of their actions and what they did/start with to get there.
There was enough substance in this video without the baldness comments. The "shady" comments in recent videos have honestly been really off-putting. I'm here for content about finances, but if the host reminds me of my high school bullies, that's kind of an issue.
Chelsea is a mean girl under the guise of a financial influencer. She's really just a hollow person with a huge nose.
subscribed after hasan watched on stream. i love your content!
I stan the phrase "Rockafeller and Vanderbilt stans."
I owned a Tesla and really like them but I’m no fan of Musk. When he talks EV or Space X, I’ll listen. On everything else he’s no more informed than the drunk at the corner bar. Excellent commentary Chelsea, thank you.
He didn’t even invent or create Tesla, he just invested and made minuscule last minute changes to delay the launch because he could afford to wait for the profits while the other investors couldn’t keep up delaying a year or two. Every good idea he’s had has been bought or ‘co-founded’ with the other person clearly doing most of the brainwork. All he’s ever had was a fat wallet from mommy and daddy.
@@needmoresnacks I revise my above statement. I no longer listen to Musk on anything he says about anything. I think if Tesla wants to survive, Musk needs to go.
"No, he still has all his hair." Throw-away burn of the highest order. Respect.
Sounds like something Musk would say...
You didn't mention him shooting his own tesla with "starman" driving into space! Who allows that! It has now completed 2.5 orbits. It's like he's stuck with a teenager's brain-no consequences register.
