Animal Facts Elan's mind is fascinating. I wonder if he sleeps or if he finds shutting off his mind impossible? I'm glad we have him! I think the HyperLOOP could be the best thing ever invented for clean climates and our ecosystems, even better than electric cars or solar energy which still remains out of reach for most of us home owners even though we would love to have it.
No way bro it's all fake to keep the round earth lie going!!! Us flat earth's are all over the globe, making up our own science! Trust no one who has had a house that couldn't be hooked up and moved to greener pastures!! Pastures of the lord!! (Sarcasm)
He quietly bought-out "Hair Club for Men" corporation when it began to tank during the housing crisis debacle and personally assisted the top genetic researchers in the field to make a *viable* and *working* product.
Simon made a youtube video a few months ago where he describes all the steps from selection of subject to editing to posting the video. Look for behind the scene in Today I found out.
So my GF doesn't really care for TH-cam but she loves Simon's voice so we always watch TopTenz, Today I found Out, and now Biographics. Keep up the great videos!
What an incredibly interesting man. 60 Minutes interviewed him and I'd like to say he was socially awkward or antisocial, or something, but he's not. He's actually charming, articulate and can even be funny.
yeah-- like the time he called a scuba-diver a pedophile because he wanted test one of his drones, but the diver wanted to save the kid's lives over letting Elon test a drone for publicity. He definitely thought outside the box, right?
Matthew Merrell He visited a barber and saw someone get a haircut. Surprisingly, the hair was exactly the same color as his. He picked it up and stuck it with super glue. Now he has hair for life.
Turns out when you get 165 million with the sale of your first major company you can afford plugs. I'd do the same if I was filthy rich and balding. Balding gracefully is for us middle classers lol
Your fake religion is not funny anymore. Maybe in 08 but not now. Just be an atheist or be part of an actual religion, and stop acting like an edgy 16 year old boy since I'm sure your at least in your twenties
Well, I'm a total Elon Musk fanboy. I would take a bullet for the man and die happy. "I" would watch a two hour biography of Elon Musk, and watch it with the same verve as I would a Marvel Blockbuster. I would 'pay' for it! But I am a sample of one and probably not indicative of the general populace.
@@beachcomber2008 Stick around another thirty years and you just might be... younger. Some 'very' interesting things will be happening in the next thirty years, like singularity and mature molecular manufacturing. To get there, look into keto diet (or at least low carb), fasting for autophagy, get in shape, quit bad habits, look both ways before you cross the street, don't let your ego start a fight, etc.. There is no reason you can't make it into your nineties. And if you are still here in thirty years, there is every possibility of achieving biological immortality. Beyond that, who knows... A nanotech substrate to your neuronal brain structure to give you the mental acuity of a super computer might prove to be such an improvement over your chemical systems that your consciousness, memory and the personality the two engender, might shift to preferentially using the nanotech substrate as opposed to your 'much' slower chemical systems. Having done so, your consciousness could literally become distributed and/or even backed up, so even accidents or murder couldn't actually kill you. The future will be 'interesting' and there is no reason you couldn't see it.
@@panpiper He's definitely getting a movie someday. Probably will wait until after he sends someone to Mars just to have a great ending to the film and a perfect character arc. All hope is lost for this world if the fucking social network and the Steve jobs films are made but nothing on this guy.
Congratulations Simon! You and your crew have done an excellent job with this bio channel. Very informative and you keep up a good clip in the presentation so the audience does not get bored. You know how short our attention can be.Again,great job,have joined this channel and looking forward to future installments!
Wow! His life leaves me breathless. Thank you. I am so impressed by Musk's understanding of the purpose of money not for accumulation but for creation.
@@Freeknickers24 That company that you're so scare of is to help those with physical and mental impairments. You may not agree with it right now, and no one is forcing the tech on you. However, if you were unable to move from anything below your neck, you might be dreaming about this tech that would be trying to help you get your freedom back.
I surprising number of parallels to Steve Jobs that I wasn't aware of, in particular being booted as CEO from his 'own' company and being a harsh taskmaster. Excellent video, thank you!
@Ajant Smith had the apartheid govt not been so stubborn he might’ve stayed and SA could’ve been similar to the US. The US was in a similar situation to SA back in the 60’s however they chose to pass laws which moved towards equality whereas SA hardened their stance.
I knew nothing of this man before watching this video. Yes, I live under a rock. He has quite the knack for success in technology, I'd like to see what new ideas he will come up with in the future. The only thing I question is whether Nikola Tesla would be satisfied with those cars not having perpetual motion machines guiding them. He was quite particular. (edit: typos)
If alive today, Nikola Tesla would try to feed the entire internet to a neural network trying brut force instead of applying the multiple steps of data processing as seen in carbon based brain systems. Nicola would also invest all his money in nuclear fusion, which is a slow and low yield power source. It is a good news for us and all other form a life which depend on a similar star to provide energy to their planet, that the sun will barely consume 20% of itself in the next 5 billions years. It is said that the sun as a metabolism lower than a cold blooded lizard. If you scale the total mass of the sun vs the energy it produce to a rattle snake, the serpent would win in term of total amount of energy produced. Of course, the snake get its source from the rodents it eat while the sun don't get new supply of hydrogen. The dream of transmitting electricity thru the air was a money drain.
The greatest lesson that I was able to take away from this documentary is that your failures will be your greatest attribute and to NEVER give up. Elon’s story is truly inspiring.
How many of you will have jobs by 2030? how long do we have to implement this false idea that technology is good for everyone? it's not we Don't need the poor around the world to be left to their own devices course we instead of people rely on robots and self driving cars that only the elite can buy! We need more humanity and not technology We have gone to far there are billions of people on this planet and only a % is going to benefit from it. Elon musk is but a part of our dystopian future. you Americans are so far away from Reality, half your population is working minimum wage jobs course none can afford college and those who can are in debt for years to come! - WE need more humanity not Machines and men who tell us that it's going to improve your life!
Elon Musk has the potential to make most of our science fiction dreams reality. If visionaries like Musk have their way, that space faring, sci-fi utopia will be ours for the taking!
Three years ago Elon Musk donated a complete solar farm in the outback of South Australia to help manage rolling blackouts in the summer. Electricity consumers in that state haven’t experienced a blackout since the installation. The state government bought the batteries to store power and release during a shortage.
Elon's one of the few people that can't easily be categorized as a mere celebrity, CEO, or pioneer; he's been a person I've repeatedly wanted to meet over the years.
Are we talking about the same person? He hasn't really pioneer anything. He's good at purchasing companies when they're just about to have a breakthrough
Biographies always bore Me, no matter how spectacular. I tried to sit through, and go to 16 min of Your 17 min video, Mr. Whister. Your abilities to make your speech about something not lend to the fact really opens my ears. For decades, ever since the petrodollar and vehicle gasoline pollution, that gas companies realizing in the 1980's that 3.5 billion people have to breathe, and gasoline is polluting that same air, the "oil barons worldwide" would have been the ones to initiate forcing laws and auto manufacturers to adopt electric-car tech, to phase out using petrochemical fuel for vehicles. I say a prayer to God every day and thank for the blessing Elon Musk is for developing powerwall and electric vehicles. Thank You for good edutainment, Simon.
May have been worth mentioning that Solar City was bankrolled by Elon when they couldn't find investors and his two cousins run it. It was acquired by Tesla last year and now the companies work together on solving their shared bottleneck of energy storage (batteries).
I don't know that Tony Stark is based on Elon Musk, because I think IronMan appeared in comic form, with that story line, at least a decade before Elon was born. Having said that, he is about as close to Tony Stark as anybody in the real world can get. I am an old bloke now, but I find it hard to think of any other person in whole world, I envy or admire more. If I could 'be' somebody else, I'd love to be Elon Musk. Going back to that idea, if Howard Hughes, the Aviator, had a son very late in life, and that son grew into Elon Musk... You'd pretty much have IronMan. He'd inherit Hughes helicopters and aircraft, a defence conglomerate, and be a manufacturer of advanced weapon systems for the us gov & mil. He'd simply be stepping into the family business. It's IronMan, letter perfect!
I know I’m late but if you read this then it wasn’t the character that was based on Elon, When Robert Downey Jr was casted as Iron man he based how he acted on how Elon acted.
You have expanded my mind and I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos. They should show a video of yours in school everyday to help inspire kids.
He’s done a lot of great things that have absolutely helped humanity to an almost immeasurable end, but the fact there was no negative coverage of him is a bit worrying of this channels bias...
@@Michael_peanut I'm sure the people who work for him - who actually build the stuff - would argue that point. Musk isn't a genius, he just has enough money to hire people who are.

"Elon Musk is the 21st century's Steve Jobs." I'm pretty sure the 21st century's Steve Jobs is... Steve Jobs. That being said, this is one of the best new channels I've seen on youtube in a while. Keep up the great work Simon.
Elon's is on the top list of people I admire. A lot of good would be done if more millionaires and billionaires emulate his endeavours and strategies. I really hope I can do as much, if not more, to help for civilization as much as Elon has. His projects and causes will affect this world and this galaxy many years and centuries into the future.
I see a lot of people on here that don't seem to understand what Elon Musk is trying to do. He looks at what needs changing, wonders why no one has already done it, so decides to do it himself. He finds a new and better way of doing something and sticks the idea out there with open patients ( yes open patients) He puts the info out in the public domain and says, here are my ideas this is how I did it. please take my idea and make it better. Personally I can't see whats wrong with that.

Don't we wanna adress it? why are All jobs being swifted to Asia course it's cheaper? do any of you have any idea of how bad this is? the Wealhty will stay wealhty will be poor left alone.
It feels like your head is my screensaver. I close my eyes and see you. Keep up all the hard work. Why did I only find out about this channel on your new video on your other channel?
No, it turns out that Thanos 'Killed' Tony Stark in the Marvel Universe. Yet instead of like you know 'dying' Tony was teleported to our universe. Where he just decided to take up a new name, new face, and start all over again. After all. As I a Comicbook Buff (not nerd...I am not that good). Even if Thanos somehow managed to come to our Universe. His little golden Pimp Gauntlet would be useless. It is all Techno Babble. Won't bore you with details. Just say: It is a good thing.
Thanks for the video and for responding. Since he considers AI an existential threat rivaling that of any other and his latest two ventures have been in response to that concern, seems like it would have made the short list of things to cover. But yes, everyones a critic and I am too.
Thoroughly enjoyed that Biographic. Musk is a focused man. I still can't understand his ex- wives with their major complaint being boredom. I look forward to whatever project Musk is involved in.
Its not practical to have to maintain a vacuum in long tubes, its makes the tubes and maintenance were expensiv, he pretty much dropped the idea it seems, it was a fun and futuristic idea, but at this point in time not a practical one.
August Landmesser The great engineer Isembard Kingdom Brunnel tried to creat a very similar system to run trains with a vacuum tube on the English coast. Needless to say it failed horribly, geniuses sometimes have lapses in judgement.
Yea that opening aged well. Not gonna continue watching on principle after you said Tony Stark is based on Elon when Elon couldnt even beg his way onto the set of the forst movie.

Would be great to have an update as this is five years old now and quite a lot has happened since then- many thanks if it’s possible
"Dope smoking with Joe Rogan don't slow motion my pace man.
When I'm conquering MySpace, it's ACTUAL SPACE man!"
Thank you for doing this video. Such an interesting, unstoppable individual.
"Elon Musk is the 21st century's Steve Jobs." I'm pretty sure the 21st century's Steve Jobs is... Steve Jobs.
That being said, this is one of the best new channels I've seen on youtube in a while. Keep up the great work Simon.
I guess the writer assumed since Jobs wasn't around very long...
Elon's is on the top list of people I admire. A lot of good would be done if more millionaires and billionaires emulate his endeavours and strategies. I really hope I can do as much, if not more, to help for civilization as much as Elon has. His projects and causes will affect this world and this galaxy many years and centuries into the future.
nice video congrats

I see a lot of people on here that don't seem to understand what Elon Musk is trying to do. He looks at what needs changing, wonders why no one has already done it, so decides to do it himself. He finds a new and better way of doing something and sticks the idea out there with open patients ( yes open patients) He puts the info out in the public domain and says, here are my ideas this is how I did it. please take my idea and make it better. Personally I can't see whats wrong with that.
Thank you.
BRAVO! great one Simon!
Over the past year I've grown to appreciate Elon Musk so much. Dudes phenomenal and I love his interviews on JRE.
Thanks for an awesome bio. 👌🏾👌🏾
Loved now but when its all said and done, his haters will work to no end to make him seem like a villain. Someones gonna be the new ceo one day
Are you talking about Elon Musk or Tony Stark?
How many of you will have jobs by 2030? how long do we have to implement this false idea that technology is good for everyone? it's not we Don't need the poor around the world to be left to their own devices course we instead of people rely on robots and self driving cars that only the elite can buy! We need more humanity and not technology We have gone to far there are billions of people on this planet and only a % is going to benefit from it. Elon musk is but a part of our dystopian future. you Americans are so far away from Reality, half your population is working minimum wage jobs course none can afford college and those who can are in debt for years to come!
- WE need more humanity not Machines and men who tell us that it's going to improve your life!
Can any of you explain by removing millions of jobs so that a machine can do it for you? what about the people who just makes end by? do we simply keep going and ignore it on our feed on websites? Don't we wanna adress it? why are All jobs being swifted to Asia course it's cheaper? do any of you have any idea of how bad this is? the Wealhty will stay wealhty will be poor left alone.
Umm.... you spelt things wrong...
You didn't spell wealthy correctly...
he hasn't done anything well.....
We are living in the era of Musk !!
Do Gene Roddenberry's life story, Thank you for creating this video.
Musk is the new Howard Hughes!!!
Awesome! Been waiting for this clip!
It feels like your head is my screensaver. I close my eyes and see you. Keep up all the hard work. Why did I only find out about this channel on your new video on your other channel?

Love Elon Musk to Mars and back
What a hero
Pioneer all the way
Elon Musk is Tony Stark if Tony Stark never got a character arc.
No, it turns out that Thanos 'Killed' Tony Stark in the Marvel Universe. Yet instead of like you know 'dying' Tony was teleported to our universe. Where he just decided to take up a new name, new face, and start all over again. After all. As I a Comicbook Buff (not nerd...I am not that good). Even if Thanos somehow managed to come to our Universe. His little golden Pimp Gauntlet would be useless. It is all Techno Babble. Won't bore you with details. Just say: It is a good thing.
Great job Simon!
No mention of AI alarmism? Eighteen minute video could have been eighteen minutes and thirty seconds.
And 2 hours if we added everything like this. Where do we draw the line? But thank you for adding another topic to this comment area.
Thanks for the video and for responding. Since he considers AI an existential threat rivaling that of any other and his latest two ventures have been in response to that concern, seems like it would have made the short list of things to cover. But yes, everyones a critic and I am too.
AI can be dangerous, we just don't know yet. That's a bit scary.
You should really bring up this channel more on the other one- (things I found out)
I never knew this existed, but I love it, it's fascinating
The guy is a legend. The slander coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden because he's a a threat to the narrative.
A great video, a classic inspirational story and one that is definitely not yet over...
It’s men like him that make the world a better place.
Your videos are the best
Thoroughly enjoyed that Biographic. Musk is a focused man. I still can't understand his ex- wives with their major complaint being boredom. I look forward to whatever project Musk is involved in.
wysiwyg43 It wasn't boredom. It was his absence from the relationships even when physically present.
perhaps he was too involved in his work to pay suffenct attention to her and his family
The wives weren't technological geniuses like him. So they became bored.
Should have gotten hobbies ey?
wysiwyg43 unfortunately even when he is a genius he has bumped into gold diggers in the past. /:
Everyone wants to be this guy, but then you realize this guy's life is busier then any person alive.
Great companies but Hyperloop might be a big mistake. I guess every genius must try something crazy.

Why a mistake?
Its not practical to have to maintain a vacuum in long tubes, its makes the tubes and maintenance were expensiv, he pretty much dropped the idea it seems, it was a fun and futuristic idea, but at this point in time not a practical one.
August Landmesser The great engineer Isembard Kingdom Brunnel tried to creat a very similar system to run trains with a vacuum tube on the English coast. Needless to say it failed horribly, geniuses sometimes have lapses in judgement.
Didn't internet showered us with information about his father being super wealthy from mining diamonds?
Lmao we need an update to this one, bruh has done much since this vid came out
Great video, keep it up Simon! :)
Good video, but no mention of the venomous bats.
An inspirational man!
Yea that opening aged well. Not gonna continue watching on principle after you said Tony Stark is based on Elon when Elon couldnt even beg his way onto the set of the forst movie.
Man I dig all of your vidz 💪👍
I was programming my Atari 600XL by the time I was 9. It doesn't mean you're a genius, trust me.
Well, you certainly aren't one.
Made me feel like a child again watching those rockets land them self's. My heart leapt. Here's the next step
Elon Musk is so badass. What a hero
Love ur videos man
Read the book by Robert Heinlein "The Man Who Sold The Moon". Pretty much describes Musk's life. Amazingly parallel.
Great Information!
