I like Elon, but I think he's so out of touch (not surprising since he's a billionaire). But not everyone wants to own or drive a car. Many Americans don't like driving and want to live in dense urban centers with great metro/subway accessibility. A walking lifestyle is so different from a driving lifestyle that most Americans are not only used to, but only aware of, sadly. You cannot build enough vehicle capacity to reduce traffic because it induces MORE DEMAND. Elon should know this. SMH.
A lot of people hate him because he's a billionaire and think that giving away his money will somehow make our problems go away, not appreciating his attempt and progress on innovating our way out of some of these problems.
He’s a wishful thinker and doesn’t quite understand the role of the government. Lol 😂 He thinks the roads his Teslas drive on could have been built by private companies. Or the help he gets from NASA and all the employees he’s poached from NASA. He’s at a point where he’s forgetting the influential role government has played in his ascent.
@@BrighamYen He's not out of touch, he's focusing on what he wants to work on. Who cares about those who don't want to drive, he doesn't so why would it matter. Not his target audience at all.
Body language - sincere, honest, humble and endearing. Communication- uses simple language to explain the hardest of topics, that anyone can understand, quick thinking and Hilarious. His bye is so endearing. We must protect the guy at all costs.
I cannot for the life of me, see how people cannot be fond of Elon musk. He is the Albert Einstein of this generation. In fact, even more smart and useful than Einstein. Thank you for what you do for the advancement of technology and civilization as a whole. We need more people like you.
Einstein was brilliant but hesitated with the bomb because with his genius he was able to see possibilities that people of lower iqs couldn't multi analytically analysis or decipher.
@@chinoisachebe975 he is not scientist or inventor. He is a engineering minded entrepreneur. I recommend reading the book Lift Off by Eric Berger to get some perspective on what he does and how he leads teams of very smart engineers to succeed in doing seeming impossible things.
I truly believe the engineering staff should be close as possible or in the factory as much as possible to see how either bad or good their decisions affect the assembly line and product. That way they can see firsthand how best to fix the mistake or improve the process. I have been on both sides in a factory as a technician, operator for machines and engineer.
@C. V. We (or maybe just me) are not in base reality anyway, so may as well recognize him. How do I know? In base reality a single human would not be able to create either a private space agency, or an electric auto manufacturing company in this day and age. He has done both, plus threw in an online bank, map, brain interface, tunnel co etc. One person inspired all this and made them happen. Impossible in base reality.
"People don't change their mind they just die". This is such a bold statement to make in public but so true. It takes a lot of self-reflecting and stepping down to admit that you were wrong about something and to learn from it. A lot of people reach a point where they get too full of themself and don't think about the possibility of growing more. They stagnate. As he describes with the job titles, they usually don't mean anything but they are used to justify opinions. He is so genuine and you can see that he means what he is preaching and this is getting rare nowadays. So I am happy he is still with us and hopefully for a long time to come!
@Back2NatureThis is a stupid claim...He is not responsible for your investment! Nobody forces anyone to buy shitcoins. Can he move the market? Absolutely yes! Because people like him, the same goes for other famous personalities. Do your own due diligence on your investments. But don't blame others for your losses.
@@johntheux9238 I understand his point, but as someone who does look back and try to analyze my past thinking with new data over time (actually evolving my thoughts rather than stagnating) I can't help but feel it's some what of a mistake to apply that to everyone. I personally would love to live longer and grab assistance from memory improvements etc so that I can continue to analyze and evolve thoughts on more data. I realize this doesn't describe the majority of people. But with the drive to do so, one could gain further sight into topics that shorter living humans cannot. There is also an issue of lost wisdom and the ability to really compare with what has come before as generations die off. Sure there are books, movies, etc to give some glimpses, but one can never really have the eye of the beholder from the previous generation unless they lived it. Taking those experiences and being able to grow over time I think is where one can really excel.
Max Plank said something similar. New theories don't make people see the light. Old physicists die and new ones simply grew up with new theories. And that's physics, which is supposedly directly verifiable through experience.
@@cradlemonsterp9309 "New theories don't make people see the light." As someone who has definitely changed opinions and mindset over time, I don't think I can agree with that. At least not as a 100% rule. Again, I get the thought that okay, so 2% of you or whatever might grow as you learn, but 98% don't and therefore it's a bad idea mindset about this. "verifiable through experience" - and I have verified through experience that a person can indeed grow and change. Doesn't obviously make it the rule, but I am self aware enough to not be full of myself as mentioned above and to know that no matter how little there might appear to be left to learn, one should never assume they know everything. It's a horrible mindset and I think the realization of that solves a lot.
Just because a stock is going up doesnt mean its a good investment. Just because a stock is going down doesnt mean its a bad investment. Theres more to a stock than just its stock price. An entire company more focus on company, not just the stock price.
Sometimes the price of a good company takes a while increase. Same goes for a bad company, so just focus on the fundamental of the company .Mrs Marilyn miller made me to understand so.
wow this is wonderful it is really a great thing to see others who trade with Mrs marilyn , i am currently on my 6th trade with her and my portfolio has increased tremendously'
Im an HVAC technician. My company was hired to work on putting AC in the rooms where fittings for SpaceX boosters are made. I wasn't allowed to take pics, but it was easily the most amazing, interesting, and awesome thing I've got to be apart of. I know I didn't design or build the boosters, but dammit I helped keep those people comfortable 😅
Every little bit helps. You think they’d take volunteers to clean toilets at SpaceX? I’m sure they wouldn’t say no to everyone and I might have some spare time this weekend

@ross reed the sad and funny thing is that Elon shames them so much in every way. He works for minimum wage, put his own money in to start the businesses and doesn't cash out even 20 years in, works crazy hours and sees himself as the guy who fixes problems that other people can't handle. He is also a top grade engineer at the very least
Which will never happen because government will always work to be the most dominant presence in every industry, which is why they are trying to pass this dumb bill for infrastructure or Electric Car reform
@@OP_-pk9hm Setting rules on emissions legislation is being a referee, but picking favourites in private industry is being a player in the field. Calling GM the leader in EVs is just pure stupidity.
Presently our Government is like really extra bad referees who try to control the entire game. Let the players play. If the Government is to be like referees than the people should be the instant replay with hard core veto powers.
Thank you for hosting this I’m sure you put a lot of effort and thought in this. Here’s a suggestion for next time. Let the audience ask the majority of the questions. I think they have sophisticated ones based on their field of study in their industry. Many of the questions you asked just didn’t do it for me at all. Love to see you host the next one too🙂🙂🙂
The CEO’s in the audience didn’t have questions, except for one man. Most CEO’s have no clue, because it’s the workers who would know what questions to ask. Except for CEO’s who are hands on…like Elon.
Yes, I could listen to him for hours. It’s amazing what this one man has done to help humanity when he could have just packed it in after getting his PayPal millions. I drive a Tesla EV powered by Tesla solar panels and Powerwall batteries in my house - I’m literally driving on sunshine. And I never get an electric bill and have NO power outages. My Tesla car is way quicker and more fun to drive than anything else I’ve ever driven. I can drive from Michigan to Florida in one day using Tesla’s Supercharger Network, and I don’t have to pay a dime to use it. I invested modestly in Tesla stock in early 2013, and it made me a multimillionaire able to retire early (60). He and his companies are now employing over 100,000 people generating billions in wages as well as billions in tax revenue for federal, state, and local gov’ts. America is super lucky to have this immigrant become an American.
@Redwood Myers Rockets that land themselves on robot drone ships in the ocean and cars that enjoy the highest owner satisfaction rating in the entire industry? At some point Musk haters start to sound like flat earthers.
@@DumbledoreMcCracken That a lie. Can you elaborate what subsidies did Tesla receive that other auto makers did not? I bet you can't because you're just mechanically repeating lies without checking facts. Also, fossil fuel industries get thousands of times more subsidies for poisoning lungs of children. But you would be fine with that.
I am honored this man is living during my lifetime. Just being able to watch all he is doing is amazing. He will surely fill many history books. Truly a gifted man.
Money is an issue that everyone has for a better and luxurious life, Life was hard for me until I started trading bitcoin and am now earning $18,435 per week.
36:06 "We are headed to an interesting and different world and I hope that we can remember that we are all human beings and let's just try to have as positive a relationship as possible and work towards mutual prosperity for humanity as a whole." -Elon Musk
He is a humanist in it's truest sense. He is working towards what will be best for humans (electric vehicles, ability to travel to another planet, ability to connect with AI using our minds), but this doesn't mean that he is a "cool chill guy" that you would "hang out" with. This is what irritates people about him. But those people will be lost in time, and his name will be remembered for a very long time.
There was something ominous about that last statement. Almost like a "please don't end the world" type statement. And frankly it's a reasonable statement to make...
All I could find was the short clips of this. For a while I almost thought it must be a better, more condensed version. Nope, the full interview was crazy.
@@blackshadow7192 That's the usual approach. However, I think he actually keeps some of the options he redeems to pay taxes and live off that. I don't know that he's borrowing off his company shares.
There's 3 reasons we should all respect Elon: 1- He's a solutionist. His "genius" isn't giving articulate speeches in podcasts or conferences. He actually solves real world problems directly by creating the solutions for them. That is 1,000 times harder than being a "public intellectual" and giving a good speech. 2- He's not "lazy rich". He spends 90% of his time at his actual factories, working 80 hours a week, and involves himself deeply with entry level employees to see what reality is for each company to make great decision after great decision. Most of us making 50K a year enjoy more time off than he gives himself. Respect that. 3- He's fearless. He doesn't give safe corporate answers and he doesn't care if his opinion on things makes himself enemies. A lot of CEO's try to make every answer as unoffensive as possible to maximize options for partnership at all times. Instead, Elon calls out nonsense aggressively and lets his partnership and collaboration chips fall where they may. The haters that picture Elon in some big office with his feet kicked back smoking a cigar while "the little people" make him rich, clearly have never researched his daily reality. You don't get to where he's at by seeking leisure and passing work off to others. You get to where he's at by relentlessly trying to improve the world for the better.
Elon is absolutely amazing! We need more people like him in this world. His work ethic is incredible! I absolutely LOVE his honesty. I believe he speaks for the majority of people in this world. He is a man of principles and someone to look up to and strive to be like.
"Tesla has made roughly two thirds of all the electric vehicles in the United States. I'm not sure most people are aware of that." What a gem it would have been if he had then added: "certainly President Biden and Mary Barra aren't aware of it". But he's far more diplomatic than I.
Outstanding & eloquent as always...All well said. Although I thought the host was a bit rude & sarcastic. Mr. Musk stays classy, kind & humble, regardless of the rudeness. This is what makes him an outstanding citizen!
I love how Elon is so frank about the truth, like ending subsidies and the crazy deficits created by out of control government spending. I love how his mind works, always looking to provide solutions to world problems. Somehow he gets things done, that others fail at. He is a real treasure for humanity.
Elon is literally the best interview on the planet. Always a unique insight. Always a compelling way of thinking about a topic.. We are lucky to be alive to witness all that he is at the forefront of. Great job by the interviewer btw
That's a bit over the top IMHO. Lol he's a guy. Our scientists and engineer have thoughts and ideas too but they write books and we stopped reading lol
Take care of Tesla and SpaceX, those two giant money pits of bullshite. Las Vegas thought they were getting an underground bullet train, they got a Tesla in a tunnel with a driver.
Like most journalists, the interviewer's paradigm is that government is indispensable. The premise of her questions is clear evidence of that. LOVE IT that Elon didn't take the bait.
@@alexalleman4756 He made the idiotic comparison between East Germany and West Germany as a way to show the errors of Government involvement while a few minutes later he said China is going to have the biggest GDP in the world. China has more government Involvement than the USA. He also compares the Government to corporations. He has a childlike understanding of the role of government. OF course, the Government can be better, but it's still important. Also, I wouldn't speak for Erik I have a feeling he's a "Government is always Bad guy".
Yeah because he know longer qualifies for subsidies...all 3 of he's companies have grown substantially because of subsidies... Billions of dollars worth! Don't be so delusional!
@ubuu7 Everyone is off at some point, like your critique about the government roll in his view. When you said "Especially when it has the power to print money". The very reason his was pointing as the wrong direction we are heading..
Thrilling to listen to Elon, every time. Thanks to WSJ for making this event available! Just one humble note... have your hosts ask better, deeper questions... not the light fluff stuff. Elon was clearly a touch exasperated and wanted to go deeper. Let him!
@@donkykon2094 I find Joanna Stern aggressive. WSJ shouldn't let someone like her, who can't handle a genius like Elon, to do the interview. She's AWFUL!!!
@@johnmqueripel2367 The Government deserves him. US has always treated foreign geniuses very well (unlike their birthcountriws which almost killed them many times) and gave them many opportunies. Im sure he loves US and would do anything for US.
The man has a depth of understanding that few of us will ever have. One of the greatest minds in human history IMO, and it’s a shame our president doesn’t tap that brain of his.
Well generally politicians will either ignore or attack their political opponents. Musk was always a tRump supporter so why would Biden care about him anyway
Elon has received billions in subsidies but wants to kill them off? Elon doesn't understand how successful societies are run. America should emulate a European country like Germany if you guys want to be successful.
Elon Musk is not a Trump supporter. He has specifically said he is not a Trump supporter. He is a moderate while being generally liberal on social issues and conservative on fiscal issues.
He is above brilliant and we should read between the lines here. I admire him and feel we are all lucky to have him. I personally have grown to like and trust what he says.We will see, I guess.
I love that he obliquely mentions accrual accounting and how the US doesn't do this at all. Right or left. It's staggering they've stayed afloat this long.
What’s more disastrous that economics professors taught this can continue indefinitely. If I mention this on twitter, I always get “this is different. Gov finances are not personal finances, no problem, etc” answers.😾
USA can't have it both ways... Accrual Accounting means your taking in a responsible amount relative to your outgoings. The USD being the global currency means you've got to be a global money supply and run a deficit. If the US didn't run a deficit the USD would be effectively deflationary for other countries trying to make use of it elsewhere in the world. The US overspending is in effect a source of currency inflation for all the rest of us... limited inflation is good for our economies which is part of why we buy into the idea of the USD being a good currency for trade. It'll all come crashing down of course... It's a trade of present day power and commodities in exchange for long-term stability. One day the USD won't be the global currency anymore, yet the US government will still have 3-1 outgoings... then the US is buggered because it's dollar will become worthless faster than anyone can imagine and then the country will collapse under debit and overspending.
@@matthewspencer2094 that’s why the stable arrangement is currency baskets or this can be modern proof of stake blockchain, when every currency issue is voted for, and shared proportionally. Such system has no inherent first order imbalances.
I love how Elon listens to the question and then pauses to think before he responds. He does not just spout off prearranged talking points like most other CEO’s and all career politicians. It is fascinating to witness a great mind un action.
What's not to praise elon? In 40 years China managed to do what no other country on earth could, lifting billions out of poverty. At the same time, the USG managed to do shove millions of Americans into poverty ... figure that elon ... east Germany vs west Germany more???
Who would put a time-limit on a genius of humanity? It felt insulting. Having said that, I truly enjoyed it, and thank you WSJ for bringing this to us.
His side project is about making people who have been paralyzed walk again, yet the article talks about how they are profit-focused and disregard safety.
@@Wirmish Even he said he's being cautiously optimistic. We still don't have self-driving vehicles. Please, when will you all learn? Wait for actual evidence and stop falling for his pipe dream lies lol. I can't believe the failure of the "hyperloop" hasn't jarred people out of their worshipping, yet.
@@mhemadmas Elon is saying that society is generally pushed by those who have built up certain parts of it, so those parts always run the same way as the person who made it. This means any new ideas get shot down and we don't act upon them... until the aforementioned people die. That's how society progresses.
@@mhemadmas yeah sadly those who have most power let it get to their heads eventually. Once a man of great ideas, they turn into a close-minded tyrant. Death clears the air
See should talk, about travel and tourism. On relationships with transportation and stuff from the Auto and trains and planes and ships. I’ll ask, if you share energy supply chains made by multiple States The cost would go down? But the output of the groups need to have a simétrica distribution so the power doesn’t get centralized.
@@brainxtc2171 And people think he's the richest man. Most of his wealth comes from Tesla shares which are extremely over inflated (for example check the p/e ratio, it's insane). And If I recall correctly half of his shares are used as collateral for his debts. So if tesla stock tanks, I would guess elon would be billions in debt.
Oh. My. Gosh. 1. This man is going to be responsible for the enslavement of humanity. Do you really wish to have your every thought read? 2. His starlink is going to fry everyone's brain. 3. His self driving cars are only gonna be for people that have his neuralink in the brain probably. 4. His bots are going to takeover humanity. 5. His AI is the destruction of humanity. 6. This man left his first wife, Impregnated his last girlfriend whom he never married. Yeah, a real villain in real life. But I guess he gets a pass because he's "innovative." Scummy people just get a free pass to be scum because they invent tech and get money. Great logic. No wonder people are going to be enslaved look at all the dumb people rooting for this monster.
SpaceX is the case of corrupted politicians in the US closing the U.S. space programs and transferring billions of the U.S. taxpayers' dollars intended for building NASA space rockets to a foreign national, Musk, who then claims his private ownership of the space rockets that his employees design and build on the money received from the U.S. government. That's corruption and worse than corruption. And don't start your verbal garbage about NASA not being able to build space rockets. That's administrative problem and it is created intentionally. Corrupted politicians are changing NASA program and cancel previous programs every few years. They do not let NASA to finish any programs and then they blame NASA for that to make brainwashed plebeians think that the national space agency is worthless. Over the last few decades, politicians have been intentionally killing national space programs and transferring taxpayers' money to privately owned corporations to space. Space has been for sale for some time now. It's not for the People anymore. It's for the super-wealthy and their corporations. “I’ll make a prediction right now. The first trillionaire will be made in space.” So said Texas senator Ted Cruz, shortly after a bill was signed to increase NASA’s budget for 2018. To untrained ears, his claim would have sounded extraordinary. It might even have stretched credulity for those familiar with the challenges of space. But on closer inspection, Cruz was not being that revolutionary. Peter Diamandis - founder of the X Prize competition to encourage tech developments - made the same prediction back in 2008 and expanded on the theme in his 2015 book Bold. As for how those trillionaires will make their riches from space, both he and Neil DeGrasse Tyson - the US astrophysicist and TV host - reckon it will be done by mining asteroids. For example, the asteroid 16 Psyche, one of the most massive objects in the main asteroid belt orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, could be made entirely of metal, according to a study published this week. The asteroid's metal is worth an estimated $10,000 quadrillion (that's 15 more zeroes), more than the entire economy of Earth. Translation: there is wealth out there in space. And that's what the super-wealthy are after - wealth, and NOT rescue of humankind.
The fact that people are on a time crunch with this man baffles me. He’s speaking straight knowledge and information that some population can hardly even begin to understand. People would pay 100’s of thousands of dollars to go to a seminar with Elon speaking. Whoever is running this event should be like if Elon wants to talk for two hours let him… this is probably the most recognition that this organization has ever gotten.
Lol dude, this is the Wall Street journal…. Elon is great but don’t get it twisted this organization is also a power house bro. People would also pay a lot of money just to have the opportunity to speak with them as well lol
You're so right. You can see it in his eyes the thought process running wild with every thought. It's a true privilege to listen to someone this hyper-intelligent and see what his mind thinks of socioeconomic issues from his perspective.
@@TheBlacktom everything he’s doing will have long term effects on the world. It’s happening right now. Look at the EV revolution for one. And SpaceX, Starlink… I’m sure you’ve heard of them and what they’re doing.. Next self driving cars, solar/battery storage. Also, AI bots…
He doesn't even have an engineering degree. He is not the founder of Tesla but he gave the guys who did money. He only has 3 patents. He treats his employees like trash and he has major self awareness issues.

@@RorschachRev Man you act like his taxes aren't already priced into the cost of his goods/services. The dude pay's 0 taxes yet takes many tax monies from people.
Right at the start of this interview: “we should not be expending this much money and running 3Trillion deficits and not expect something bad to happen”.
except that it just isn't how large scale economies work. Especially when you are printing your own money. Plus what he just said is actually completely opposed to what he did himself. Infrastructure bills are the best way to make money for governments, they build up infrastructures that stimulate the economy directly and indirectly (through payrolls and through the creation of opportunities for industries and commerces to flourish and create tax revenues). He himself spent a lot for a sort of infrastructure in his car industries to prodduce stuff as well. Quite honestly he is not even at a mediocre level in understanding global economies. He sees this as if it was a home owner, but home owner don't have the power to print their own money, or smushing their debts by devaluating their currency, countries do.
tesla loved when he got gov subsidies.[1] now he hates it because Biden didn't invite him to the party. After all, tesla does not have union people. though in Germany they will have, because practically all workers are unionized in Germany, I wonder what will happen then. [1] According to a Los Angeles Times investigation, Musk's companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they've gotten more since. tesla is a product of social democracy: fusion of private and public. he doesn't like his competitors getting it now, too. that happens when you get big. first, you love it, then hate it if competitors get it. it makes no sense why the public could not make an investment and that only the private side could invest in the electric future. if we only waited for the private side, we still would not have electric cars. he says the public cant be efficient with money, but it's the private that's doing the work, the public is only an investor and guides what is good to invest in, like taxing gas OEM cars. musks companies have been bleeding serious money until now. this year was first on plus for tesla on cars.
How do people hate this man?! He's a genius.
I like Elon, but I think he's so out of touch (not surprising since he's a billionaire). But not everyone wants to own or drive a car. Many Americans don't like driving and want to live in dense urban centers with great metro/subway accessibility. A walking lifestyle is so different from a driving lifestyle that most Americans are not only used to, but only aware of, sadly. You cannot build enough vehicle capacity to reduce traffic because it induces MORE DEMAND. Elon should know this. SMH.

@C. V. John von Neumann wouldn't mind))
Who is this journalist? Dumb as heck.
"People don't change their mind they just die". This is such a bold statement to make in public but so true. It takes a lot of self-reflecting and stepping down to admit that you were wrong about something and to learn from it. A lot of people reach a point where they get too full of themself and don't think about the possibility of growing more. They stagnate. As he describes with the job titles, they usually don't mean anything but they are used to justify opinions.
He is so genuine and you can see that he means what he is preaching and this is getting rare nowadays. So I am happy he is still with us and hopefully for a long time to come!
He looks at humanity as an hivemind of which we are just cells.
I agree with him but I can imagine how scared of him some people might be xD
@Back2NatureThis is a stupid claim...He is not responsible for your investment! Nobody forces anyone to buy shitcoins. Can he move the market? Absolutely yes! Because people like him, the same goes for other famous personalities. Do your own due diligence on your investments. But don't blame others for your losses.
@@johntheux9238 I understand his point, but as someone who does look back and try to analyze my past thinking with new data over time (actually evolving my thoughts rather than stagnating) I can't help but feel it's some what of a mistake to apply that to everyone. I personally would love to live longer and grab assistance from memory improvements etc so that I can continue to analyze and evolve thoughts on more data. I realize this doesn't describe the majority of people. But with the drive to do so, one could gain further sight into topics that shorter living humans cannot. There is also an issue of lost wisdom and the ability to really compare with what has come before as generations die off. Sure there are books, movies, etc to give some glimpses, but one can never really have the eye of the beholder from the previous generation unless they lived it. Taking those experiences and being able to grow over time I think is where one can really excel.
Max Plank said something similar. New theories don't make people see the light. Old physicists die and new ones simply grew up with new theories. And that's physics, which is supposedly directly verifiable through experience.
@@cradlemonsterp9309 "New theories don't make people see the light." As someone who has definitely changed opinions and mindset over time, I don't think I can agree with that. At least not as a 100% rule. Again, I get the thought that okay, so 2% of you or whatever might grow as you learn, but 98% don't and therefore it's a bad idea mindset about this. "verifiable through experience" - and I have verified through experience that a person can indeed grow and change. Doesn't obviously make it the rule, but I am self aware enough to not be full of myself as mentioned above and to know that no matter how little there might appear to be left to learn, one should never assume they know everything. It's a horrible mindset and I think the realization of that solves a lot.
I just some times, need to open bubbles but the rotation is around the same axis/companies.
Just because a stock is going up doesnt mean its a good investment. Just because a stock is going down doesnt mean its a bad investment. Theres more to a stock than just its stock price. An entire company more focus on company, not just the stock price.
Sometimes the price of a good company takes a while increase. Same goes for a bad company, so just focus on the fundamental of the company .Mrs Marilyn miller made me to understand so.

Ya, i love that it is his real opinion. not a preprepared script.
@@dcase20 because he is not scripted...when Obama talked like that, people said he was "genuine" and "refreshing"...

No one is like him. Genius, frank, humble and honest.
That nervous laugh from the crowd when they know he's right is priceless.
The laughter isn’t real. It’s mk ultra wizardry for the fluoridated masses who can’t think.
@ross reed the sad and funny thing is that Elon shames them so much in every way. He works for minimum wage, put his own money in to start the businesses and doesn't cash out even 20 years in, works crazy hours and sees himself as the guy who fixes problems that other people can't handle. He is also a top grade engineer at the very least

Very very interesting interview, thanks for sharing this with us all!!🙏
I am watching this again and again and still not tired of it. I hope Elon lives for ever.
Loved the statement- "The role of Government should be that of like a referee, but not a player on the field!"
Which will never happen because government will always work to be the most dominant presence in every industry, which is why they are trying to pass this dumb bill for infrastructure or Electric Car reform
Yes and the media should stick to the commentators box rather than trying to be the cheerleaders.
@@OP_-pk9hm Setting rules on emissions legislation is being a referee, but picking favourites in private industry is being a player in the field. Calling GM the leader in EVs is just pure stupidity.
Presently our Government is like really extra bad referees who try to control the entire game. Let the players play. If the Government is to be like referees than the people should be the instant replay with hard core veto powers.
The role of government is also to make the rules. He nicely side-stepped that part.
Thank you for hosting this I’m sure you put a lot of effort and thought in this. Here’s a suggestion for next time. Let the audience ask the majority of the questions. I think they have sophisticated ones based on their field of study in their industry. Many of the questions you asked just didn’t do it for me at all. Love to see you host the next one too🙂🙂🙂
The CEO’s in the audience didn’t have questions, except for one man. Most CEO’s have no clue, because it’s the workers who would know what questions to ask. Except for CEO’s who are hands on…like Elon.
Great content, but please turn up the volume!
Elon is the most inspiring individual of his generation
yes
Yes, and it's also amazing that he never talks in grandiose manner or use corporate jargons that other CEOs and entrepreneur commonly use.
Yes, I could listen to him for hours. It’s amazing what this one man has done to help humanity when he could have just packed it in after getting his PayPal millions. I drive a Tesla EV powered by Tesla solar panels and Powerwall batteries in my house - I’m literally driving on sunshine. And I never get an electric bill and have NO power outages. My Tesla car is way quicker and more fun to drive than anything else I’ve ever driven. I can drive from Michigan to Florida in one day using Tesla’s Supercharger Network, and I don’t have to pay a dime to use it. I invested modestly in Tesla stock in early 2013, and it made me a multimillionaire able to retire early (60). He and his companies are now employing over 100,000 people generating billions in wages as well as billions in tax revenue for federal, state, and local gov’ts. America is super lucky to have this immigrant become an American.

I liked what he said about subsidies. Cutting subsidies especially for fossil fuels would change things in very significant ways.

@@arminius6506 profit only comes when you provide a good service to others.
He is a humanist in it's truest sense.

This is what irritates people about him. But those people will be lost in time, and his name will be remembered for a very long time.
@@arminius6506 expand your mind please
There was something ominous about that last statement. Almost like a "please don't end the world" type statement. And frankly it's a reasonable statement to make...
All I could find was the short clips of this. For a while I almost thought it must be a better, more condensed version.
Nope, the full interview was crazy.
He F work 7 days a week with highly complex problems from multiple companies. He deserves every cent he owns.
He's not working for money.
@Freedom Files I dont think he even takes a salary, he's just extremely wealthy bc his companies are doing so well
@@1Arsitup1 He lives on loans backed by his companies' shares like any extremely wealthy people do.
@@blackshadow7192 That's the usual approach. However, I think he actually keeps some of the options he redeems to pay taxes and live off that. I don't know that he's borrowing off his company shares.
You people have no idea what you are talking about. Wow!!
Starts at 12:50
Thank you Elon for being such a gentleman, as well as a genius. You are very gracious.
He is a young hard working person with a purpose and creating products to people live better now and future and this what I admire him.
There's 3 reasons we should all respect Elon:
1- He's a solutionist. His "genius" isn't giving articulate speeches in podcasts or conferences. He actually solves real world problems directly by creating the solutions for them. That is 1,000 times harder than being a "public intellectual" and giving a good speech.
2- He's not "lazy rich". He spends 90% of his time at his actual factories, working 80 hours a week, and involves himself deeply with entry level employees to see what reality is for each company to make great decision after great decision. Most of us making 50K a year enjoy more time off than he gives himself. Respect that.
3- He's fearless. He doesn't give safe corporate answers and he doesn't care if his opinion on things makes himself enemies. A lot of CEO's try to make every answer as unoffensive as possible to maximize options for partnership at all times. Instead, Elon calls out nonsense aggressively and lets his partnership and collaboration chips fall where they may.
The haters that picture Elon in some big office with his feet kicked back smoking a cigar while "the little people" make him rich, clearly have never researched his daily reality. You don't get to where he's at by seeking leisure and passing work off to others. You get to where he's at by relentlessly trying to improve the world for the better.
He has several mega mansions around the world and he recently commissioned a 1/4 Billion USD yacht. I think that you are idolizing a bit too much!
Thunderf00t : "Is SpaceX facing bankruptcy" video content should be very eye opening. The Common Sense Skeptic channel videos also
Thank you for being eloquent enough to say what some of us were thinking.
@@Hollowsmith
Read your initial comment and rely again!
Yes!
He’s smart enough to speak intelligently about China and US without starting a war !
Elon is absolutely amazing! We need more people like him in this world. His work ethic is incredible! I absolutely LOVE his honesty. I believe he speaks for the majority of people in this world. He is a man of principles and someone to look up to and strive to be like.
What ! Seen the court case?
Enjoyed his interviews.
"Tesla has made roughly two thirds of all the electric vehicles in the United States. I'm not sure most people are aware of that." What a gem it would have been if he had then added: "certainly President Biden and Mary Barra aren't aware of it". But he's far more diplomatic than I.
Outstanding & eloquent as always...All well said. Although I thought the host was a bit rude & sarcastic. Mr. Musk stays classy, kind & humble, regardless of the rudeness. This is what makes him an outstanding citizen!
Yep!
I also thought the interviewer was a bit snarky.
Amazing work thank you!
I love how Elon is so frank about the truth, like ending subsidies and the crazy deficits created by out of control government spending. I love how his mind works, always looking to provide solutions to world problems. Somehow he gets things done, that others fail at. He is a real treasure for humanity.
Agree !
I disagree that the world needs more people. He’s totally wrong.
Elon is literally the best interview on the planet. Always a unique insight. Always a compelling way of thinking about a topic.. We are lucky to be alive to witness all that he is at the forefront of. Great job by the interviewer btw
That's a bit over the top IMHO. Lol he's a guy. Our scientists and engineer have thoughts and ideas too but they write books and we stopped reading lol
@@paxdriver True, Elon's insight isn't particularly unique. Its just that we don't see other people's insights

Well generally politicians will either ignore or attack their political opponents. Musk was always a tRump supporter so why would Biden care about him anyway
Elon has received billions in subsidies but wants to kill them off? Elon doesn't understand how successful societies are run. America should emulate a European country like Germany if you guys want to be successful.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING HIM TO EXPRESS HIS THOUGHTS.
elon musk is a lowkey comedian. when he said he'd change his title to technoking haha as a middle finger to the corporate bureaucracy
I would be too if i would be the richest person on this planet ....
I love that he obliquely mentions accrual accounting and how the US doesn't do this at all. Right or left. It's staggering they've stayed afloat this long.
What’s more disastrous that economics professors taught this can continue indefinitely. If I mention this on twitter, I always get “this is different. Gov finances are not personal finances, no problem, etc” answers.😾
USA can't have it both ways... Accrual Accounting means your taking in a responsible amount relative to your outgoings.
The USD being the global currency means you've got to be a global money supply and run a deficit.
If the US didn't run a deficit the USD would be effectively deflationary for other countries trying to make use of it elsewhere in the world. The US overspending is in effect a source of currency inflation for all the rest of us... limited inflation is good for our economies which is part of why we buy into the idea of the USD being a good currency for trade.
It'll all come crashing down of course... It's a trade of present day power and commodities in exchange for long-term stability. One day the USD won't be the global currency anymore, yet the US government will still have 3-1 outgoings... then the US is buggered because it's dollar will become worthless faster than anyone can imagine and then the country will collapse under debit and overspending.
@@matthewspencer2094 What's your "over/under" on when USD loses its standing as the global currency?
@@matthewspencer2094 that’s why the stable arrangement is currency baskets or this can be modern proof of stake blockchain, when every currency issue is voted for, and shared proportionally. Such system has no inherent first order imbalances.

SpaceX is the case of corrupted politicians in the US closing the U.S. space programs and transferring billions of the U.S. taxpayers' dollars intended for building NASA space rockets to a foreign national, Musk, who then claims his private ownership of the space rockets that his employees design and build on the money received from the U.S. government. That's corruption and worse than corruption. And don't start your verbal garbage about NASA not being able to build space rockets. That's administrative problem and it is created intentionally. Corrupted politicians are changing NASA program and cancel previous programs every few years. They do not let NASA to finish any programs and then they blame NASA for that to make brainwashed plebeians think that the national space agency is worthless.
Over the last few decades, politicians have been intentionally killing national space programs and transferring taxpayers' money to privately owned corporations to space. Space has been for sale for some time now. It's not for the People anymore. It's for the super-wealthy and their corporations.
“I’ll make a prediction right now. The first trillionaire will be made in space.” So said Texas senator Ted Cruz, shortly after a bill was signed to increase NASA’s budget for 2018. To untrained ears, his claim would have sounded extraordinary. It might even have stretched credulity for those familiar with the challenges of space. But on closer inspection, Cruz was not being that revolutionary. Peter Diamandis - founder of the X Prize competition to encourage tech developments - made the same prediction back in 2008 and expanded on the theme in his 2015 book Bold. As for how those trillionaires will make their riches from space, both he and Neil DeGrasse Tyson - the US astrophysicist and TV host - reckon it will be done by mining asteroids. For example, the asteroid 16 Psyche, one of the most massive objects in the main asteroid belt orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, could be made entirely of metal, according to a study published this week. The asteroid's metal is worth an estimated $10,000 quadrillion (that's 15 more zeroes), more than the entire economy of Earth.
Translation: there is wealth out there in space. And that's what the super-wealthy are after - wealth, and NOT rescue of humankind.

Whoever is running this event should be like if Elon wants to talk for two hours let him… this is probably the most recognition that this organization has ever gotten.
I get what you're saying, hand out a couple of joints, order pizza etc
Lol dude, this is the Wall Street journal…. Elon is great but don’t get it twisted this organization is also a power house bro. People would also pay a lot of money just to have the opportunity to speak with them as well lol
You're so right. You can see it in his eyes the thought process running wild with every thought. It's a true privilege to listen to someone this hyper-intelligent and see what his mind thinks of socioeconomic issues from his perspective.
he's a fake.
@@TheNitroPython hahaha the Wall Street journal … yeah they really or on the cutting edge of information hahaha
It's incredible the way that one man can change the world.
I'm not sure he changed much of the world I'm a part of
HIs words are suddenly taken seriously only after he became the richest man in the world. Money is soft power.
"Wealth is power." - Adam Smith.
@@TheBlacktom everything he’s doing will have long term effects on the world. It’s happening right now. Look at the EV revolution for one. And SpaceX, Starlink… I’m sure you’ve heard of them and what they’re doing.. Next self driving cars, solar/battery storage. Also, AI bots…
he's still just another crook IMO until he pays taxes
@@goldensun441 He pays taxes? lol
In fabric of space and time Mr. Musk is surreal momentum ...gratitude. ❤
Knowledge is power, understanding is wisdom. This is an inspiring educational video.
Elon is Class. He is a Genius and down to earth person. His ideas are clear. Ambitious. Best example on how to be a Leader.
He doesn't even have an engineering degree. He is not the founder of Tesla but he gave the guys who did money. He only has 3 patents. He treats his employees like trash and he has major self awareness issues.
"Sins of the father" and "argument from authority"... those two seem a sad mixture of uninformed and resentful lol.
SpaceX is the case of corrupted politicians in the US closing the U.S. space programs and transferring billions of the U.S. taxpayers' dollars intended for building NASA space rockets to a foreign national, Musk, who then claims his private ownership of the space rockets that his employees design and build on the money received from the U.S. government. That's corruption and worse than corruption. And don't start your verbal garbage about NASA not being able to build space rockets. That's administrative problem and it is created intentionally. Corrupted politicians are changing NASA program and cancel previous programs every few years. They do not let NASA to finish any programs and then they blame NASA for that to make brainwashed plebeians think that the national space agency is worthless.
Over the last few decades, politicians have been intentionally killing national space programs and transferring taxpayers' money to privately owned corporations to space. Space has been for sale for some time now. It's not for the People anymore. It's for the super-wealthy and their corporations.
“I’ll make a prediction right now. The first trillionaire will be made in space.” So said Texas senator Ted Cruz, shortly after a bill was signed to increase NASA’s budget for 2018. To untrained ears, his claim would have sounded extraordinary. It might even have stretched credulity for those familiar with the challenges of space. But on closer inspection, Cruz was not being that revolutionary. Peter Diamandis - founder of the X Prize competition to encourage tech developments - made the same prediction back in 2008 and expanded on the theme in his 2015 book Bold. As for how those trillionaires will make their riches from space, both he and Neil DeGrasse Tyson - the US astrophysicist and TV host - reckon it will be done by mining asteroids. For example, the asteroid 16 Psyche, one of the most massive objects in the main asteroid belt orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, could be made entirely of metal, according to a study published this week. The asteroid's metal is worth an estimated $10,000 quadrillion (that's 15 more zeroes), more than the entire economy of Earth.
Translation: there is wealth out there in space. And that's what the super-wealthy are after - wealth, and NOT rescue of humankind.
@@ik7584 Most of your claims are ridiculous lol. Your understanding of government and business is very crooked.
@@xandercorp6175 your claim is ridiculous lol. My understanding of the crooked government and businesses is direct and clear.
Hard working, brilliant and ambitious! Luv this guy!
I'm up for large hadron collider in the US
Spinal restoration is swesome!
I am a business owner and Libertarian and I love this interview. She throws liberalism and government corporatism BS at him and he throws back logic.
Hi Jannie 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
He should throw back all the billions of dollars the govt gave him too if he wasn't a fake.
@@steven5054 he already did. He paid it back, WITH interest!
@@steven5054 He pays 53% tax rate, going up again soon. He's not fake, he made paypal work. He does actual engineering work.
@@RorschachRev Man you act like his taxes aren't already priced into the cost of his goods/services. The dude pay's 0 taxes yet takes many tax monies from people.
Cant stop smiling after listening to this, always great to hear Elons thoughts and bluntness
This was such a great interview, and I think it was as much because of Joanna as because of Elon. Thanks.
He is so sweet and giving. We will never get a man like him ever again
The brains of this guy are out of this world 🤯
Right at the start of this interview: “we should not be expending this much money and running 3Trillion deficits and not expect something bad to happen”.
Bingo, bucko.
*looks at recent transactions on my bank account*
except that it just isn't how large scale economies work. Especially when you are printing your own money. Plus what he just said is actually completely opposed to what he did himself. Infrastructure bills are the best way to make money for governments, they build up infrastructures that stimulate the economy directly and indirectly (through payrolls and through the creation of opportunities for industries and commerces to flourish and create tax revenues). He himself spent a lot for a sort of infrastructure in his car industries to prodduce stuff as well. Quite honestly he is not even at a mediocre level in understanding global economies. He sees this as if it was a home owner, but home owner don't have the power to print their own money, or smushing their debts by devaluating their currency, countries do.
tesla loved when he got gov subsidies.[1] now he hates it because Biden didn't invite him to the party. After all, tesla does not have union people.
though in Germany they will have, because practically all workers are unionized in Germany, I wonder what will happen then.
[1] According to a Los Angeles Times investigation, Musk's companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they've gotten more since.
tesla is a product of social democracy: fusion of private and public. he doesn't like his competitors getting it now, too. that happens when you get big. first, you love it, then hate it if competitors get it.
it makes no sense why the public could not make an investment and that only the private side could invest in the electric future. if we only waited for the private side, we still would not have electric cars.
he says the public cant be efficient with money, but it's the private that's doing the work, the public is only an investor and guides what is good to invest in, like taxing gas OEM cars. musks companies have been bleeding serious money until now. this year was first on plus for tesla on cars.
We should also not make robots and then be concerned that they will take over.
