A deal to buy an ICBM became complicated? who'd have thought...
Not sure if the dark web existed back then.
The ICBM was overpriced and the Russians made of in of Elon by telling: *in deep Russian accent* little boi doesent hav enuff money . Elon left and then founded spaceX
* surprised pikachu face*
@@gerasimosawesome4182 You meant to say they made fun of him right?
Not Elon musk
The one thing I like about Elon Musk is his anti-receding hairline. Apparently it's solar powered.
hair implants, very obvious, look at younger pictures of elon, he was balding..
@@BatteryProductionsThat one went over your head so fast you'd better check your hairline.
But look at the guy who speaks in this channel himself... 👨🦲
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.
@@treborironwolfe978 "I'm Sy Spelling. I'm not only the president of Hair Club for Men, I'm also a member."
Boy is this gonna need an update.
We need a video about Simon Whistler and how he makes things so interesting.
I agree
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.
I vote yes to that.
Yup
Probably the most intriguing man in modern times.... maybe the most intriguing since Tesla himself.
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)
I am sorry, I mentioned to just say the first line and I got carried away. I can almost see why they do this
Biggest snake oil salesman in modern history.
No...
A real inspiration. Even the simple fact that he got a hair transplant instead of wallowing or going full bald, shows that he is a real practical man, a go getter, who does what needs to be done and moves on to the next, and never give up.
Do you need some mouthwash after gargling those balls?
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.
I always had the impression that he was pretty uncomfortable with public speaking.
@@disorganizedorg I think it’s best explained as he’s thinking so fast that he can articulate himself without seeming to be a bit off. But at the time I thought it was cocaine I no longer think that.🤐
Watch his episodes on Joe Rogan. Enlightening
Doesn't he have aspergers?
Hes very evil.
People can laugh, point and shake their heads but it’s always been the people who think out of the box that have changed the world.
u should tat that on ur arm
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?
@@laytonsmith8608 a
There's a suck born every minute. Musk's gift is how to find suckers.
Or the people crazy enough to try always do.
So my GF doesn't really care for CZcams but she loves Simon's voice so we always watch TopTenz, Today I found Out, and now Biographics. Keep up the great videos!
Jacob L. Morris don't forget visualpolitik
Simon gonna steal yo girl
Well thanks guy😂
She must be really boring
What does your "GF" not liking CZcams have to do with content you enjoy personally on CZcams?
Your videos are so comfortable to watch, I learn from them and they help me fall asleep too! Thanks my friend.
Educational and sleep-inducing. A perfect combo.
I meant it in the best way :)
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!
What everybody really wants to know is how did he overcome his baldness?
I suspect it has to do with money
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
@@braddorcas9363 LMAO. That was funny.
You know how in regular people stress makes you lose hair, well in Elon, it made him grow hair.
Very interesting !! Well put together.
Elon musk is blessed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster himself
BEST COMMENT EVER.
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
I pray to the FSM everyday.

You forgot his greatest achievement hosting meme review
Eighteen minutes is just way too short to do justice to all Elon Musk has done and is doing.
How long would you realistically watch?
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.
@@panpiper Indicative of me as well. I would also like to be about thirty years younger, too.
@@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.
Than you for this great insight into Elon Musk's life and responding to my and many other people's comments for a biographic of him.
As always, a great video!! I never knew much about Elon and you really did a great job of giving a glimpse into his mindset, habits, etc.
This totally needs an update.. Thanks for the awesome content!
BRAVO! great one Simon!
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!
Rich Marceau these traits don’t seem so bad to have for a CEO
Except Steve Jobs is an over-rated tool. F...you Iphone....piece of crap
And just like that,no one questions his ideas anymore
Yeah, Good thing he left South Africa when he did. Imagine if all this god given talent was wasted in Africa.
@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.
Great job Simon!
Watta legend! Thanx for bringing this to my attention mr whistler and team !
Thank you for doing this video. Such an interesting, unstoppable individual.
i think he is from the future
Yep, Elon Musk might be a time traveller!
Musk must be a time traveller!
rumors arise he's from outer space!
Hi Elon, if you could wait 3 months before buying up Bitcoin, it would be very helpful and leave me most grateful. Thanks.
Imagine being so successful that people call you a time traveller.
Great video, keep it up Simon! :)
Great video Simon, I learned a great deal. This world needs many like him...
Smells Musk-y in here.
Its amazing what someone can achieve when they really put their mind to it.
Yeah, he’s a very interesting individual, listening to him talk also interesting. It’s like your drawn into what he’s thinking
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!
Or when they computerize your mind did you watch all of the video?
Its amazing what someone can acheive if their family owns an emerald mine

I've been bingeing on the Whistler for over a week now.
A great video, a classic inspirational story and one that is definitely not yet over...
Do Gene Roddenberry's life story, Thank you for creating this video.
Finally!
Great Information!
Elon Musk is crazy cool. I just love him. Thanks so much for doing a feature on him.
Awesome! Been waiting for this clip!
It’s crazy that between the making of this video and now, so much more can already be said about the man.
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?
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
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.
Yeah you heard the part where he started a company to assimilate our brains with comouters didnt you?
15:48
@@Freekniggers 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.
Yep, that's how he's one of the most personally wealthy individuals in the world.
Exactly
Elon reminds me of me, except for all the bright ideas he has.
Excellent content as usual Simon. Second time on bio, trying to keep up with the others.
Love ur videos man
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 hero we need, but not the one we deserve!
Medorath Eh, what?
Htoo Doh
We need a person that brings us a good future, right? We have one, but we don't deserve a such person because of the stuff we're doing...
Great videos. There is always something interesting I learn everyday. Same for Visual Politics, great channel, well done.
great vid!!
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.
The most important human being alive right now.
No. Not even close.
@@bossokanagan2930 yeah, he is actually. He single-handedly pushed the world atleast 10 years in terms of technology.
@@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.
@@bossokanagan2930 then why aren't those people billionaires and Musk is?
@@Michael_peanut Because OTHER people took control of companies he was driving into the dirt and sold for high profit while Musk still had shares.
See: PayPal. Future article: Tesla
what an inspiring person . i'm in my 5th year of med school and after seeing this i decided to become a neurosurgeon by what ever it takes.
You are good at this 👌
"Dope smoking with Joe Rogan don't slow motion my pace man.
When I'm conquering MySpace, it's ACTUAL SPACE man!"
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!
these are fantastic thanks man
Finally a video without 82 ads.
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).
Meanwhile buying patents from Rimac.
Good video, but no mention of the venomous bats.
Man I dig all of your vidz 💪👍
Awesome video!!! Thanks for listening!!
To be honest, we had me selected from our first meeting when we were choosing our first 50. But we are adding people based on viewer suggestions for the next 50.
Nicely summed up, although it is impossible to sum up what Elon Musk is going to do next!
Yep, Musk is unpredictable!!
Pretoria Boys High School... My home❤️
Awesome 👏
Would be nice to watch and updated version of this as of 2020
You may need to update this video with the latest from Musk
Read the book by Robert Heinlein "The Man Who Sold The Moon". Pretty much describes Musk's life. Amazingly parallel.
Thanks for an awesome bio. 👌🏾👌🏾
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.
He’s an inspiration for loser tech bros and plain old fascists.
You forgot his most important venture hosting meme review
The man, the myth, the Meme Lord, the Otaku, the Weeb and the Legend
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.
I was hoping you would do this one way to go !!!
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?

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.....
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.
lol @ pioneer, paid money to buy hisway into being a 'Tesla founder' when he was nothing of the sort.
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
The biography suggests otherwise. Which part of it is fictional?
Great video about a very complex figure. Learned a lot. Never knew much about him at all.
this was super interesting thank you
Just wanna let you know that on a 4K TV your individual beard hairs are very distracting, just saying lol
What a hero
Your videos are the best

Ive been ith simon since top 10.
I remember joining visual politic and seeing how much trouble they h with background music.
I love the music usage on this channel.
Loved it
21st not bad never this early but man i love all the video's you do Simon
Over the past year I've grown to appreciate Elon Musk so much. Dudes phenomenal and I love his interviews on JRE.
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.
A new one is needed
An inspirational man!
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.
Aged. Like. Milk.
Exceptional man, exceptional article
hey Simon I love ur both channel
Can we get a Rommel and a Mosley please?
Rommel will be here in the next few weeks.
Awesome looking forward to it!
Ya gotta admit, the man is hot🔥
that was REALLY interesting
What a quality human being!
