There's so many things
that make people sad
4
00:00:29,461 --> 00:00:30,829
or depressed about the future,
5
00:00:34,834 --> 00:00:37,637
but I think becoming a
space-faring civilization is one
6
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:40,373
of those things that makes
you excited about the future.
7
00:00:43,808 --> 00:00:46,311
Space is one of those
things that I think
8
00:00:47,847 --> 00:00:50,582
almost everyone is inspired
by and if you asked people
9
00:00:50,615 --> 00:00:52,317
what was the most
inspiring event in history,
10
00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:54,320
it was probably
landing on the moon.

You know, I think all transport,

00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,069
with the exception of rockets,
will go fully electric.
15
00:01:11,870 --> 00:01:15,474
Owning a car that is not
self-driving in the longterm
16
00:01:15,507 --> 00:01:16,542
will be like owning a horse.
17
00:01:16,575 --> 00:01:17,810
You would own it for,
18
00:01:17,843 --> 00:01:19,778
and you would use it
for sentimental reasons,
19
00:01:19,811 --> 00:01:23,248
but not for, you know,
not for daily use, really.

in technology.
22
00:01:30,489 --> 00:01:33,126
For that we can thank one
of the most successful,

entrepreneurs of the 21st century.

Elon Musk, the

00:01:52,677 --> 00:01:57,216
with an estimated net worth
of 163 billion US dollars.
29
00:01:59,251 --> 00:02:02,155
He is the ambitious
genius, intellectual
30
00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:06,159
and eccentric tech billionaire
who shook the entire world
31
00:02:06,191 --> 00:02:08,427
with groundbreaking inventions.
32
00:02:09,427 --> 00:02:14,032
This man is an engineer,
a charismatic leader,

a philanthropist.
34
00:02:16,034 --> 00:02:19,305
Elon Musk is so many things.
35
00:02:20,573 --> 00:02:25,211
Today he has a dream, one
that many believe unreachable,
36
00:02:26,044 --> 00:02:27,312
at least during his lifetime,
37
00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:34,286

38
00:02:35,554 --> 00:02:37,390
This is the story
of an individual
39
00:02:37,423 --> 00:02:40,759
whose inventions revolutionize
the tech industry.
40
00:02:41,961 --> 00:02:44,864
After creating space

42
00:02:47,498 --> 00:02:50,735
his astounding success
puts him on top of the rank

00:02:50,769 --> 00:02:52,605
of the world's wealthiest men.

00:02:59,777 --> 00:03:02,715
They are masterminds,

ruthless, not afraid of failure,

dedicated to their mission
of bettering the world.

Always reaching for excellence,
they lead by example.
48
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:19,564
Unlike many industries,
49
00:03:19,598 --> 00:03:23,169
the tech billionaires
are mostly self-made.
50
00:03:23,201 --> 00:03:24,469
It is through their genius

00:03:24,502 --> 00:03:27,138
that they revolutionize
the industry
52

Elon Reeve Musk was born
on the 28th of June 1971,
66
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:29,735
in Pretoria, South Africa.
67
00:04:32,670 --> 00:04:34,240
His father, Errol,
was a wealthy,
68
00:04:34,273 --> 00:04:37,209
successful South
African engineer
69
00:04:37,242 --> 00:04:40,545
and his mother, Maye Musk,
was a Canadian model.
70
00:04:41,747 --> 00:04:44,483
Elon was the oldest
of three children
71
00:04:44,516 --> 00:04:47,353
and he spent all of his childhood
with his brother, Kimbal,
72
00:04:47,386 --> 00:04:50,588
and his sister, Tosca,
in South Africa.
73
00:04:50,622 --> 00:04:53,759
They could be one
beautiful, happy family,
74
00:04:53,791 --> 00:04:56,861
everything looked
amazing on the surface,
75
00:04:56,894 --> 00:05:00,399
but the reality
was much different.
76
00:05:00,432 --> 00:05:03,369
Elon grew up in a
tumultuous household
77
00:05:03,401 --> 00:05:06,538
and had a difficult
and lonely childhood.
78
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:08,941
His father was abusive
towards his mother
79
00:05:08,973 --> 00:05:13,111
and denied Elon any help to
begin a career in business.
80
00:05:13,144 --> 00:05:17,682
He wasn't interested in his
children's happiness or success.
81
00:05:17,716 --> 00:05:21,254
His parents would divorce
when Elon was 10 years old.
82
00:05:22,754 --> 00:05:24,622
Elon was different.
83
00:05:24,656 --> 00:05:25,925
From the age of three,
84
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:29,295
he was already showing
signs of ingenuity.
85
00:05:29,327 --> 00:05:31,963
His mother called him a nerd.
86
00:05:31,997 --> 00:05:35,533
In her autobiography
published in 2019,
87
00:05:35,567 --> 00:05:37,636
"A Woman Makes A Plan,"
88
00:05:37,668 --> 00:05:40,538
she shared some humble
photographs of his childhood
89
00:05:40,572 --> 00:05:43,375
and wrote, "When Elon was young,
90
00:05:43,408 --> 00:05:45,610
I noticed that he
read everything."
91
00:05:46,812 --> 00:05:49,581
She realized that he
had something special.
92
00:05:50,749 --> 00:05:53,719
Elon was bullied at
school and he struggled
93
00:05:53,752 --> 00:05:57,389
with having social life,
unlike his sibling.
94
00:05:57,423 --> 00:05:59,759
He was short and introverted.
95
00:05:59,791 --> 00:06:02,560
He liked to read, which
didn't make him popular
96
00:06:02,593 --> 00:06:04,497
among the other children.
97
00:06:04,529 --> 00:06:07,766
He said, "I was this
little bookworm kid
98
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,935
and probably a bit
of a smart aleck
99
00:06:09,968 --> 00:06:12,771
so this is a recipe
for disaster."
100
00:06:13,971 --> 00:06:16,675
He described these years
as lonely and brutal.
101
00:06:17,975 --> 00:06:21,680
His only bright
escape, technology.
102
00:06:21,713 --> 00:06:24,784
He was so consumed in his
daydreams of inventions
103
00:06:24,817 --> 00:06:26,418
that his parents had a test done
104
00:06:26,451 --> 00:06:28,120
to check his hearing abilities.
105
00:06:29,321 --> 00:06:31,323
He soon developed an
interest in computers
106
00:06:31,355 --> 00:06:33,591
and electronic devices.
107
00:06:33,625 --> 00:06:36,262
After finally getting
his first computer,
108
00:06:36,295 --> 00:06:39,999
he learned to code
at only 10 years old.
109
00:06:40,031 --> 00:06:42,200
He taught himself programming
110
00:06:42,233 --> 00:06:44,637
after realizing the
classes weren't helping
111
00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:46,739
because he was ahead
of his teachers.
112
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,509
He did not always get good
grades, especially in subjects
113
00:06:51,543 --> 00:06:53,778
where he couldn't see
the point learning them,
114
00:06:53,812 --> 00:06:55,715
like learning Afrikaans.
115
00:06:57,315 --> 00:06:59,651
Rather he would spend his
time playing video games,
116
00:06:59,685 --> 00:07:01,353
reading books, or coding.
117
00:07:02,855 --> 00:07:04,622
But for the subjects that
were important to him,
118
00:07:04,656 --> 00:07:07,192
such as physics and computers,
119
00:07:07,225 --> 00:07:09,728
he would get the highest grade.
120
00:07:09,761 --> 00:07:11,797
To this day, he
still uses reading
121
00:07:11,829 --> 00:07:14,866
to become an expert in a
field that interests him.
122
00:07:15,867 --> 00:07:18,170
Even comic books would
eventually inspire him
123
00:07:18,202 --> 00:07:20,405
to push humanity forward
124
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:23,943
as the stories in them were
always about saving the world.
125
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:26,812
Elon quickly figured out
126
00:07:26,845 --> 00:07:29,582
that if he could write and
sell a better software,
127
00:07:29,615 --> 00:07:32,418
than he could buy
better computers.
128
00:07:32,451 --> 00:07:35,855
So he created his first piece
of space-gaming software,
129
00:07:35,887 --> 00:07:36,888
called Blastar.
130
00:07:38,089 --> 00:07:41,826
He sold it to a
magazine for $500.
131
00:07:41,860 --> 00:07:45,764
At 12 years old, he had sold
his first commercial program.
132
00:07:47,298 --> 00:07:49,567
In his college days, he
would sell computer parts
133
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,437
out of his dorm room to
earn some extra cash.
134
00:07:53,704 --> 00:07:57,209
At this point, he had no plan
of becoming a billionaire,
135
00:07:58,744 --> 00:08:02,615
but it seems that he was born
with a creative superpower.
136
00:08:02,648 --> 00:08:06,418
Not afraid of experimenting
and figuring things out,
137
00:08:06,451 --> 00:08:08,787
he was already thinking
like an entrepreneur
138
00:08:08,819 --> 00:08:13,759
at a very young age and was
born to innovate and create.
139
00:08:14,992 --> 00:08:19,731
His childhood was tough, but
it gave him an important asset,
140
00:08:20,632 --> 00:08:21,699
the ability to adapt
141
00:08:21,733 --> 00:08:24,170
and overcome the most
difficult challenges.
142

[lively music]
143
00:08:31,843 --> 00:08:36,115
In June 1989, the second
part of his life began.
144
00:08:36,148 --> 00:08:39,250
At 17 and against
his father's wishes,
145
00:08:39,283 --> 00:08:42,288
he decided to embark
on a plane to Canada,
146
00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:46,259
leaving South Africa and his
childhood behind forever.
147
00:08:48,961 --> 00:08:52,298
He had in mind the
American dream.
148
00:08:52,331 --> 00:08:53,831
Elon remembered thinking
149
00:08:53,865 --> 00:08:56,634
that America's where
great things are possible,
150
00:08:56,668 --> 00:08:59,371
more than in any other
country in the world.
151
00:09:00,471 --> 00:09:02,942
He didn't have a concrete plan,
152
00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:04,743
but he knew that staying
in his home country
153
00:09:04,775 --> 00:09:06,711
wouldn't get him
where he wanted to go.
154
00:09:09,847 --> 00:09:11,817
Growing up during apartheid,
155
00:09:13,719 --> 00:09:16,455
he knew he had to
make a decision
156
00:09:16,488 --> 00:09:18,857
and joining the mandatory
service in the army
157
00:09:18,889 --> 00:09:21,092
was out of the question.
158
00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:24,829
He described the
apartheid as surreal
159
00:09:24,863 --> 00:09:27,533
and he didn't believe
in the government.
160
00:09:27,566 --> 00:09:29,031
After arriving in Canada,
161
00:09:29,033 --> 00:09:32,770
he went to Queens
University in Ontario,
162
00:09:32,803 --> 00:09:36,307
where he met his first
wife, Justine Wilson.
163
00:09:36,341 --> 00:09:40,178
They got married in 2000 and
would have five children.
164
00:09:41,178 --> 00:09:42,814
He then moved to the US
165
00:09:42,847 --> 00:09:46,284
to attend the University of
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia
166
00:09:46,317 --> 00:09:48,821
where he graduated
with BA degrees
167
00:09:48,854 --> 00:09:51,557
in economics and
physics in 1997.
168
00:09:53,557 --> 00:09:57,162
He was 24 when he moved to
the Bay Area, California
169
00:09:57,195 --> 00:10:00,966
to pursue a degree in
energy physics at Stanford,
170
00:10:00,999 --> 00:10:04,302
but he dropped out
after only two days
171
00:10:04,336 --> 00:10:07,072
and went on to bigger things.

name in Silicon Valley

and gone on to find success.

all dropped out of school
to start their own company.
178
00:10:27,058 --> 00:10:28,993
Since it was the
dawn of the internet,
179
00:10:29,027 --> 00:10:31,730
Musk wanted to work
on new technology
180
00:10:31,763 --> 00:10:35,701
and he decided to move to
Silicon Valley in California,
181
00:10:35,734 --> 00:10:39,838
the promise land for any
entrepreneur in the tech world.
182
00:10:39,870 --> 00:10:43,042
That is where he thought
he would thrive the most.
183
00:10:44,375 --> 00:10:47,512
It was soon revealed that
Musk was a problem solver.
184
00:10:47,546 --> 00:10:49,915
By the time he had
moved to Silicon Valley
185
00:10:49,947 --> 00:10:54,919
he had a grand vision, ensuring
the future of humanity.
186
00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:58,289
[hopeful piano music]
187
00:11:01,826 --> 00:11:04,096
[soft music]
188
00:11:06,264 --> 00:11:07,932
But first, he knew
that he wanted
189
00:11:07,966 --> 00:11:11,202
to make useful things
happen on the internet.
190
00:11:11,235 --> 00:11:14,972
In 1995, he created his
first company, Zip2,
191
00:11:15,005 --> 00:11:16,808
with his brother Kimbal,
192
00:11:16,841 --> 00:11:19,644
which was an online version
of the yellow pages,
193
00:11:20,745 --> 00:11:22,081
however, he had no idea
194
00:11:22,114 --> 00:11:24,917
how difficult the first
years would end up being.
195
00:11:26,183 --> 00:11:27,885
Having moved from South Africa
196
00:11:27,918 --> 00:11:30,555
and having huge
student college debt,
197
00:11:30,589 --> 00:11:33,792
Musk was so poor that he was
unable to afford both a home
198
00:11:33,825 --> 00:11:36,061
and an office for his company.
199
00:11:36,094 --> 00:11:37,963
He ended up having
to sleep on the couch
200
00:11:37,995 --> 00:11:41,833
of his small office space
and showering at a local gym.
201
00:11:42,933 --> 00:11:45,837
The first few months
were a lot of excitement
202
00:11:45,870 --> 00:11:47,072
but after several months,
203
00:11:47,105 --> 00:11:50,075
it started to get
really difficult.
204
00:11:50,107 --> 00:11:52,043
Reality was kicking in.
205
00:11:53,043 --> 00:11:54,746
With only just one computer
206
00:11:54,779 --> 00:11:56,781
he was working
seven days a week,
207
00:11:56,815 --> 00:11:59,819
running the website during
the day and coding at night.
208
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:04,990
He has declared that in
order to have success
209
00:12:05,023 --> 00:12:07,826
you have to have a
high pain threshold.
210
00:12:09,027 --> 00:12:12,131
Building a company from
scratch is painful.
211
00:12:13,697 --> 00:12:16,501
Eventually his company
took off and grew.
212
00:12:16,534 --> 00:12:21,539
In February 1999, tech
company Compaq acquired Zip2
213
00:12:22,206 --> 00:12:25,277
for $307 million in cash
214
00:12:25,309 --> 00:12:28,546
and $34 million
in stock options.
215
00:12:29,681 --> 00:12:32,017
Musk was just 28 years old
216
00:12:32,049 --> 00:12:35,788
when he joined the rank of
Silicon Valley millionaires.
217
00:12:35,821 --> 00:12:37,055
He had just gone
218
00:12:37,087 --> 00:12:40,192
from a broke man sleeping
on his office couch
219
00:12:40,225 --> 00:12:43,162
to a multimillionaire overnight.
220
00:12:44,361 --> 00:12:48,666
But he wanted more, he wanted
to make a bigger impact.
221
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:51,203
How about transforming
the banking industry?
222
00:12:52,403 --> 00:12:55,139
After selling Zip2 his
confidence had grown
223
00:12:55,173 --> 00:12:57,208
and he was ready
for a new challenge.
224
00:13:03,081 --> 00:13:07,319
In 1999, only a month
after selling Zip2,
225
00:13:07,351 --> 00:13:10,154
Elon and Kimbal used the
money from their sale
226
00:13:10,187 --> 00:13:13,057
to found X.com,
227
00:13:13,091 --> 00:13:16,195
now known as the
incredibly popular PayPal.
228
00:13:17,629 --> 00:13:20,399
Money transactions
used to be very slow.
229
00:13:20,432 --> 00:13:22,401
Musk noticed that there
was an opportunity
230
00:13:22,433 --> 00:13:26,404
to make a real profound
change to the financial world.
231
00:13:26,437 --> 00:13:29,207
He invented PayPal to
make money transfers
232
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,977
and payments easier without
having to deal with cash.
233
00:13:34,144 --> 00:13:37,115
In the beginning, the
company was small and unknown
234
00:13:37,148 --> 00:13:40,118
but Musk was ahead of his time.
235
00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:41,419
Thanks to his experience,
236
00:13:41,452 --> 00:13:44,956
his second business was
easier than the first.
237
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:47,392
It grew fast and by
the end of year two,
238
00:13:47,424 --> 00:13:50,228
it exploded with a
million customers.
239
00:13:51,462 --> 00:13:55,967
In 2002, eBay purchased
PayPal for $1.5 billion.
240
00:13:59,571 --> 00:14:03,108
After selling PayPal, Musk
and his wife, Justine,
241
00:14:03,140 --> 00:14:06,812
moved from Silicon Valley
down to Los Angeles
242
00:14:06,845 --> 00:14:09,147
to be closer to
the space industry,
243
00:14:09,179 --> 00:14:12,817
the next adventure that he
wanted to tackle after PayPal.
244
00:14:14,184 --> 00:14:19,024
But money can't buy happiness
and that year, tragedy struck.
245
00:14:20,091 --> 00:14:23,162
[plane engines roar]
246
00:14:25,629 --> 00:14:26,965
By the time they
had moved to LA,
247
00:14:26,998 --> 00:14:28,901
their first child was born,
248
00:14:28,933 --> 00:14:32,103
a boy they named
Nevada Alexander.
249
00:14:32,136 --> 00:14:35,773
That same week which
catapulted Elon's net worth,
250
00:14:35,807 --> 00:14:38,976
their baby boy suddenly
stopped breathing.
251
00:14:39,009 --> 00:14:44,015
He died from SIDS, Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome.
252
00:14:45,115 --> 00:14:47,619
He was just 10 weeks old.
[somber music]
253
00:14:47,652 --> 00:14:51,290
Elon had just earned his
first billion dollars
254
00:14:51,322 --> 00:14:53,391
but he had lost a child.
255
00:14:56,126 --> 00:14:59,530
Afterwards, he refused to
talk about Nevada's death
256
00:14:59,563 --> 00:15:01,198
and he and his wife decided
257
00:15:01,231 --> 00:15:04,202
that they wanted to have children
again as soon as possible.
258
00:15:05,503 --> 00:15:09,141
Within the next five years,
and with the help of IVF,
259
00:15:09,173 --> 00:15:13,211
Justine gave birth to
twins, then triplets.
260
00:15:13,244 --> 00:15:15,346
Five sons in total,
261
00:15:15,379 --> 00:15:17,883
named Griffin, Xavier,
262
00:15:17,916 --> 00:15:20,419
Damian, Saxon, and Kai.
263
00:15:21,885 --> 00:15:26,057
He and his family were living
a dream or so it seemed.
264
00:15:27,158 --> 00:15:28,293
Justine declared feeling
265
00:15:28,326 --> 00:15:30,861
that she had turned
into a trophy wife
266
00:15:30,894 --> 00:15:33,230
and that their relationship
had become unhealthy
267
00:15:33,264 --> 00:15:35,634
and unsustainable.
268
00:15:35,667 --> 00:15:38,003
The tragic death of
their first child
269
00:15:38,035 --> 00:15:41,138
and Elon's priorities
and obsession with work
270
00:15:41,172 --> 00:15:43,141
led them to growing apart,
271
00:15:43,173 --> 00:15:46,879
and ultimately to
their divorce in 2008,
272
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,883
a year that would be
full of challenges.
273
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:57,722
Not long after in 2010,
274
00:15:57,755 --> 00:16:02,560
he met his second wife, the
British actor, Talulah Riley.
275
00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:06,598
He proposed after
dating for only 10 days.
276
00:16:06,630 --> 00:16:09,735
They divorced then
remarried, first in 2013,
277
00:16:11,135 --> 00:16:15,406
and then again, in 2016,
their marriage ended.
278
00:16:16,573 --> 00:16:18,876
Despite the troubles
and obstacles,
279
00:16:18,909 --> 00:16:20,879
Musk had finally
reached the impact
280
00:16:20,912 --> 00:16:23,048
that he'd been working for.
281
00:16:23,081 --> 00:16:24,548
His new company
created something
282
00:16:24,581 --> 00:16:27,385
that we now all
take for granted,
283
00:16:27,418 --> 00:16:30,355
but it changed the way
money is transferred,
284
00:16:30,388 --> 00:16:32,391
how the world buys things.
285
00:16:33,323 --> 00:16:38,329
In 2002, at 31, Musk
had become a US citizen
286
00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:40,932
and a billionaire.
287
00:16:42,133 --> 00:16:44,802
At this point, he could
have easily retired,
288
00:16:44,836 --> 00:16:46,538
bought private tropical islands
289
00:16:46,571 --> 00:16:49,641
and sipped on Mai Tais
for the rest of his life,
290
00:16:49,673 --> 00:16:52,778
but that was not something
he has interest in.
291
00:16:54,312 --> 00:16:56,380
Instead, he spends most
of his time at the office
292
00:16:56,413 --> 00:17:01,385
or in factories working
80 to 90 hours a week.
293
00:17:01,418 --> 00:17:06,424
The entrepreneur is a busy man
with a relentless work ethic.
294
00:17:07,625 --> 00:17:10,962
One of his rules for
success is work like hell.
295
00:17:11,863 --> 00:17:13,230
He has said
296
00:17:13,263 --> 00:17:16,067
that his children are his
priority outside of work
297
00:17:16,101 --> 00:17:18,770
and he is known to
be a doting father,
298
00:17:18,803 --> 00:17:21,940
but not everyone can
handle his busy schedule.
299
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:25,277
After PayPal, Musk
got interested
300
00:17:25,309 --> 00:17:30,214
in a more inspiring future,
like exploring outer space.
301
00:17:31,482 --> 00:17:34,351
His new goal, enabling
the human civilization
302
00:17:34,384 --> 00:17:36,320
to become multiplanetary.
303
00:17:37,521 --> 00:17:40,357
A little child with no
big or clear vision,
304
00:17:40,391 --> 00:17:43,295
evolved into a
genius entrepreneur
305
00:17:43,327 --> 00:17:45,262
who now holds a vision bigger
306
00:17:45,296 --> 00:17:47,332
than what most can
possibly imagine.

[determined music]
310
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:13,125
In 2002, he founded the private
interstellar travel company,
311
00:18:13,157 --> 00:18:17,328
SpaceX, with the intention of
reigniting the dream of Apollo
312
00:18:18,563 --> 00:18:21,567
and building spacecraft for
commercial space travel.
313
00:18:23,934 --> 00:18:26,137
His goal was to
improve the technology
314
00:18:26,171 --> 00:18:28,006
of space transportation
315
00:18:28,038 --> 00:18:30,843
by making cheaper
and reusable rockets,
316
00:18:32,576 --> 00:18:34,378
though space industry experts
317
00:18:34,412 --> 00:18:37,415
believed reusable
rockets were infeasible.

Presence on another

319
00:18:44,255 --> 00:18:46,858
actually the kind of
the Moon base and then,
320
00:18:46,891 --> 00:18:50,528
yeah, and then getting
people to Mars and beyond.
321
00:18:50,561 --> 00:18:53,030
And, you know, it's sort
of like the continuance
322
00:18:53,064 --> 00:18:54,700
of the dream of
Apollo that, like,
323
00:18:56,567 --> 00:18:57,769
people are really looking for.
324
00:19:00,371 --> 00:19:03,575
[Narrator] SpaceX would
be established in 2008,
325
00:19:03,607 --> 00:19:07,645
but not everyone was a
fan of this idea of his.
326
00:19:09,446 --> 00:19:11,682
Even moonwalkers
and American heroes,
327
00:19:11,715 --> 00:19:16,621
Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan,
criticized Musk's plans.
328
00:19:17,755 --> 00:19:19,457
He said in an
emotional interview
329
00:19:19,490 --> 00:19:21,125
that it was painful to hear that
330
00:19:22,492 --> 00:19:24,095
I was very sad to see that
331
00:19:24,127 --> 00:19:26,597
because those guys are, yeah,
332
00:19:28,398 --> 00:19:29,533
you know, that those
guys are heroes of mine
333
00:19:29,567 --> 00:19:30,669
so it's really tough.
334
00:19:31,903 --> 00:19:33,438
You know, I wish they
would come and visit
335
00:19:33,471 --> 00:19:36,240
and see the hard work
that we're doing here.
336
00:19:36,273 --> 00:19:38,976
And I think that would
change their mind.
337
00:19:39,009 --> 00:19:41,313

do this didn't they?
338
00:19:41,346 --> 00:19:42,146
Yes.

casting stones in your direction.
340
00:19:50,421 --> 00:19:51,490
It's difficult.

[determined music]
342
00:19:54,959 --> 00:19:56,961
[Narrator] Back in the
'90s, the original reason
343
00:19:56,994 --> 00:19:59,496
Musk moved to Silicon
Valley in the first place
344
00:19:59,529 --> 00:20:02,733
was to work on electric cars.
345
00:20:02,767 --> 00:20:04,903
At the time, he decided
that it would be better
346
00:20:04,935 --> 00:20:08,005
to become part of the
internet as it was booming,
347
00:20:08,038 --> 00:20:10,307
but his dream of
building electric cars
348
00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:13,844
stayed in the back of
his mind all these years.
349
00:20:13,877 --> 00:20:17,014
He recalled in an interview
being passionate about it
350
00:20:17,048 --> 00:20:19,517
very early on at college.
351
00:20:19,549 --> 00:20:23,621
I actually met, I met a woman
I dated briefly in college,
352
00:20:24,821 --> 00:20:27,925
who now works at "Scientific
American" as a writer
353
00:20:27,959 --> 00:20:32,631
And she related the anecdote
that we went on a date,
354
00:20:32,663 --> 00:20:34,865
all I was talking about
was electric cars.
355
00:20:34,898 --> 00:20:36,033
[audience laughs]
356
00:20:36,067 --> 00:20:38,036
That was not a
winning conversation.
357
00:20:38,068 --> 00:20:39,436
[interviewer and
audience laughs]
358
00:20:39,470 --> 00:20:41,139
So it was a bit of
a monologue, was it?
359
00:20:41,172 --> 00:20:43,942
Yeah, she said, the first
question I asked her was,
360
00:20:43,974 --> 00:20:46,211
"Do you ever think about
electric cars?" [laughs]
361
00:20:46,243 --> 00:20:47,611
[interviewer and
audience laughs]
362
00:20:47,644 --> 00:20:50,481
She says, "No, she never does."
363
00:20:50,515 --> 00:20:53,485
[Narrator] Musk is not
only a tech entrepreneur,
364
00:20:53,518 --> 00:20:56,855
[dramatic music]
365
00:20:56,887 --> 00:20:58,490
he is also a strong believer
366
00:20:58,522 --> 00:21:00,558
in the future of
renewable energy,
367
00:21:02,826 --> 00:21:06,865
and he sees it as a key
factor in humanity's future.
368
00:21:10,667 --> 00:21:13,537
[determined music]
369
00:21:15,373 --> 00:21:19,311
Having always been fascinated
by rockets and fast cars,
370
00:21:19,344 --> 00:21:22,147
Musk wanted to find a way
to reduce global warming
371
00:21:22,180 --> 00:21:24,849
and end the destructive
use of fossil fuels.
372
00:21:24,882 --> 00:21:26,151
[suspenseful music]
373
00:21:26,183 --> 00:21:27,818
And we do have
significant danger
374
00:21:27,852 --> 00:21:30,822
with fracking technology,
which is, I think,
375
00:21:30,855 --> 00:21:31,923
really still
376
00:21:33,557 --> 00:21:35,993
at an early stage,
377
00:21:36,027 --> 00:21:37,562
because I think fracking
378
00:21:37,595 --> 00:21:42,267
probably increases the accessible
oil and gas in the world
379
00:21:42,299 --> 00:21:44,836
by perhaps a factor of 10.
380
00:21:44,868 --> 00:21:46,937
I mean, we didn't really know
what the full extent of it is,
381
00:21:46,971 --> 00:21:49,708
but it's probably something
like an order of magnitude,
382
00:21:50,907 --> 00:21:54,578
which means the potential
harm to the climate
383
00:21:54,612 --> 00:21:57,949
is really much, much
greater than it was before.
384
00:21:57,981 --> 00:22:00,585
[dramatic music]
385
00:22:00,617 --> 00:22:02,921
And we can't rely on scarcity
386
00:22:02,953 --> 00:22:06,124
to drive the price
of oil and gas high
387
00:22:06,156 --> 00:22:08,960
and have that be an
adequate forcing function
388
00:22:08,992 --> 00:22:10,627
to move electric.
389
00:22:10,661 --> 00:22:12,864
So we have to figure out
how to make electric cars
390
00:22:12,896 --> 00:22:17,769
themselves compelling without
that economic forcing function
391
00:22:18,669 --> 00:22:19,771
of high gas prices.
392
00:22:20,637 --> 00:22:21,939
[determined music]
393
00:22:21,972 --> 00:22:25,242
[Narrator] Two years
after founding SpaceX,
394
00:22:25,276 --> 00:22:27,979
2004 was the year he got
involved in a company
395
00:22:28,011 --> 00:22:31,648
that he believed would
change the course of humanity
396
00:22:31,682 --> 00:22:34,286
and build a more
sustainable future.
397
00:22:35,318 --> 00:22:38,088
A company with
revolutionary technology
398
00:22:38,122 --> 00:22:40,125
dedicated to the environment,
399
00:22:40,157 --> 00:22:43,661
to the best customer
experience, to success,
400
00:22:47,464 --> 00:22:50,769
the incredibly
popular, Tesla Motors,
401
00:22:50,801 --> 00:22:55,539
named after the electrical
inventor pioneer, Nikola Tesla.
402
00:22:56,874 --> 00:23:00,812
Tesla's plan was to produce a
car that everyone would want,
403
00:23:00,845 --> 00:23:04,816
affordable, environmentally
friendly and fast.
404
00:23:06,116 --> 00:23:08,353
Although Musk didn't
start this company,
405
00:23:08,385 --> 00:23:11,689
it was actually started by
two less-known engineers
406
00:23:11,721 --> 00:23:14,591
who simply had a vision
for transport using energy
407
00:23:14,625 --> 00:23:16,560
that was better for
the environment.
408
00:23:17,795 --> 00:23:21,800
In April 2004, he
helped them launch Tesla
409
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:25,503
with $6.5 million
of his own money
410
00:23:25,536 --> 00:23:28,373
and was appointed as
chairman of the company.
411
00:23:28,405 --> 00:23:31,209
[inspiring music]
412
00:23:33,544 --> 00:23:36,980
[Elon] There's a certain
probability that is irreducible
413
00:23:37,013 --> 00:23:38,715
that something may
happen to earth,
414
00:23:38,749 --> 00:23:40,785
despite our best intentions,
415
00:23:40,817 --> 00:23:42,319
despite everything we try to do.
416
00:23:44,755 --> 00:23:46,624
There's a probability
at a certain point
417
00:23:46,656 --> 00:23:48,792
that either an external force,
418
00:23:48,826 --> 00:23:51,462
or some internal unforced error
419
00:23:51,496 --> 00:23:53,598
causes civilization
to be destroyed.
420
00:23:55,398 --> 00:23:57,868
[Narrator] In 2006 at 32,
421
00:23:57,902 --> 00:24:02,039
and in this continuing effort
to advance sustainable energy,
422
00:24:02,073 --> 00:24:05,243
he helped his cousins,
Lyndon and Peter Rive,
423
00:24:05,276 --> 00:24:08,513
start SolarCity, a
company that develops
424
00:24:08,546 --> 00:24:12,182
and sells solar panels
and solar roof tiles.
425
00:24:12,215 --> 00:24:15,752
Owned by Tesla, SolarCity
is now the largest provider
426
00:24:15,786 --> 00:24:18,690
of solar service in the US.
427
00:24:18,722 --> 00:24:20,090
For him,
428
00:24:20,124 --> 00:24:23,094
the sun is an indefinitely
plentiful source of energy
429
00:24:23,126 --> 00:24:24,895
which he believes
could easily power
430
00:24:24,929 --> 00:24:27,232
and benefit the entire world.
431
00:24:28,132 --> 00:24:29,601
A big part of this mission
432
00:24:29,634 --> 00:24:31,702
is how he plans to
power the planet.
433
00:24:32,769 --> 00:24:34,705
And it can even work in the UK,
434
00:24:34,739 --> 00:24:36,740
despite the cloudy
British weather.
435
00:24:36,773 --> 00:24:38,909
You still get
probably 80 to 90%
436
00:24:38,942 --> 00:24:40,912
of the energy coming
through the clouds.
437
00:24:40,944 --> 00:24:43,714
It's just that you don't
have that bright point source
438
00:24:43,748 --> 00:24:45,350
of a sun.
439
00:24:45,383 --> 00:24:49,287
And a way to appreciate this
perhaps is to look at the fact
440
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:51,121
that plants are essentially
441
00:24:51,154 --> 00:24:52,956
a solar-powered
chemical reaction
442
00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:55,293
and the UK is a
very green country.
443
00:24:55,326 --> 00:24:57,761
[wondrous music]
444
00:24:57,795 --> 00:24:58,763
[Narrator] In 2008,
445
00:24:58,796 --> 00:25:02,100
Tesla released the
first Tesla Roadster,
446
00:25:02,133 --> 00:25:04,102
a sports car capable
of accelerating
447
00:25:04,134 --> 00:25:08,972
from zero to 60 miles
per hour in 3.7 seconds,
448
00:25:09,006 --> 00:25:12,944
paving the way for its first
affordable electric car,
449
00:25:12,977 --> 00:25:14,278
the Model 3.
450
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,916
But Musk had underestimated
the production cost
451
00:25:17,949 --> 00:25:20,317
of such high-end cars.
452
00:25:20,351 --> 00:25:21,753
Our goal is to get to cars
453
00:25:21,786 --> 00:25:24,288
that everyone can afford
as soon as possible,
454
00:25:24,321 --> 00:25:26,657
but any technology has to
go through a learning curve,
455
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:28,492
it has to go through
economies of scale
456
00:25:28,526 --> 00:25:29,794
and that kind of thing.
457
00:25:29,826 --> 00:25:31,261
So for us being
a little startup,
458
00:25:31,295 --> 00:25:34,798
we had to start up with a car
that was in low production
459
00:25:34,832 --> 00:25:36,501
and necessarily expensive,
460
00:25:36,534 --> 00:25:38,970
and of course it has only the
first version of technology.
461
00:25:39,002 --> 00:25:42,105
[Reporter] Tesla have
only sold 1,300 Roadsters
462
00:25:42,138 --> 00:25:45,309
so critics have argued that
as such a small company,
463
00:25:45,343 --> 00:25:46,611
they'll never have the scale
464
00:25:46,644 --> 00:25:49,146
to revolutionized the
automobile industry.
465
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:52,083
But they have sold their
battery technology to Daimler,
466
00:25:52,115 --> 00:25:54,852
who will build it into
an electric smart car
467
00:25:54,884 --> 00:25:56,688
and they hope that the Roadster
468
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:59,691
is a convincing enough
replica of a regular car
469
00:25:59,723 --> 00:26:01,692
that the public
might just believe
470
00:26:01,726 --> 00:26:04,762
that the future
really is electric.
471
00:26:04,795 --> 00:26:06,631
[determined music]
472
00:26:06,663 --> 00:26:09,166
I think all transport, with
the exception of rockets,
473
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,402
will go fully electric.
474
00:26:11,635 --> 00:26:15,038
So that's why, I mean,
I see the value of Tesla
475
00:26:15,071 --> 00:26:19,042
as an accelerant, as a
catalyst in that transition.
476
00:26:19,076 --> 00:26:21,445
[solemn music]
477
00:26:21,479 --> 00:26:25,850
[Narrator] By 2007,
the company was running out of money.
478
00:26:25,883 --> 00:26:27,151
They weren't able to predict
479
00:26:27,183 --> 00:26:29,887
how difficult the
following years would be.
480
00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:35,859
Musk faced tough challenges
481
00:26:35,893 --> 00:26:39,697
before the success
of Tesla and SpaceX.
482
00:26:39,730 --> 00:26:43,800
2008 would be the
worst year of his life.
483
00:26:43,834 --> 00:26:47,872
The global financial crisis
shook the entire economy.
484
00:26:47,904 --> 00:26:50,674
All three of Musk's
companies appeared to be
485
00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:52,544
in serious financial trouble.
486
00:26:53,943 --> 00:26:57,581
By this time, SpaceX had
failed its first three launches
487
00:26:57,615 --> 00:27:00,050
and Tesla was burning
through millions of dollars
488
00:27:00,084 --> 00:27:02,186
- every month.
- There's a friend of mine,
489
00:27:02,219 --> 00:27:04,389
who's got a good phrase
for doing a startup,
490
00:27:04,422 --> 00:27:07,057
"It's like eating glass
and staring at the abyss."
491
00:27:08,459 --> 00:27:12,930
So it's, if you go into it
expecting it's gonna be just fun,
492
00:27:12,962 --> 00:27:14,699
you would be disappointed.
493
00:27:14,731 --> 00:27:15,532
It's not.
494
00:27:16,767 --> 00:27:17,869
It's quite painful.
495
00:27:17,902 --> 00:27:20,738
It's much easier to
get a job somewhere.
496
00:27:20,770 --> 00:27:22,072
[group laughs]
497
00:27:22,105 --> 00:27:24,741
Much, much easier and
much less stressful.
498
00:27:24,775 --> 00:27:26,844
You'll have more time
for other things-
499
00:27:26,876 --> 00:27:29,012
- But would you be happier?
500
00:27:29,046 --> 00:27:30,715
It depends on who you are.
501
00:27:30,748 --> 00:27:32,016
- You know-
- Are you?
502
00:27:32,048 --> 00:27:33,084
- Oh, would I be happier?
- Yeah.
503
00:27:33,116 --> 00:27:34,786
No, I wouldn't be
happy, any happier.
504
00:27:36,787 --> 00:27:37,954
[solemn music]
505
00:27:37,988 --> 00:27:40,291
[Narrator] Just before
Christmas in 2008,
506
00:27:40,324 --> 00:27:44,062
Tesla was two days
away from bankruptcy.
507
00:27:44,095 --> 00:27:48,098
Both Tesla and SpaceX had
about 10% chances of surviving.
508
00:27:49,633 --> 00:27:53,071
The bank funding their leases
also pulled out of the deal.
509
00:27:53,104 --> 00:27:56,007
Musk was in the
fight of his life.
510
00:27:57,273 --> 00:28:01,378
This year was also the year his
marriage with Justine ended.
511
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:04,048
He was going through a
very difficult period
512
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,616
after having put on the
line everything he owned
513
00:28:06,650 --> 00:28:09,988
without any guarantee that
it would make a difference.
514
00:28:10,988 --> 00:28:13,990
However, as Tesla was on
the verge of bankruptcy,
515
00:28:14,023 --> 00:28:16,893
Musk saved the company
in its darkest hour
516
00:28:16,926 --> 00:28:18,663
with an act of heroism.
517
00:28:19,963 --> 00:28:22,799
Fighting for it to the end
and risking everything,
518
00:28:22,833 --> 00:28:24,502
he invested all that he had left
519
00:28:24,535 --> 00:28:27,538
from the sale of
PayPal into Tesla.
520
00:28:29,105 --> 00:28:32,109
In September of that year,
Musk was finally successful
521
00:28:32,143 --> 00:28:34,846
with the Falcon 9 rocket launch,
522
00:28:34,878 --> 00:28:37,514
the last launch that
they had money for.
523
00:28:37,548 --> 00:28:40,785
[rocket engines roar]
524
00:28:41,951 --> 00:28:44,955
And a few days before
Christmas, a miracle happened.
525
00:28:44,989 --> 00:28:48,092
NASA called and awarded SpaceX
526
00:28:48,125 --> 00:28:51,162
with a $1.6 billion contract
527
00:28:51,194 --> 00:28:54,531
to supply the International
Space Station.
528
00:28:54,565 --> 00:28:56,134
This human spaceflight
is the reason
529
00:28:56,166 --> 00:28:57,701
that SpaceX was created
530
00:28:59,135 --> 00:29:02,706
and we're incredibly
honored to partner with NASA
531
00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:05,108
and to make this happen.
532
00:29:05,142 --> 00:29:07,445
[hopeful music]
533
00:29:07,478 --> 00:29:09,647
What the National Space
Agency would like to do,
534
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,350
of course, is slowly
hand over operation
535
00:29:12,383 --> 00:29:15,019
of the entire International
Space Station's
536
00:29:15,051 --> 00:29:16,086
commercial companies.
537
00:29:19,088 --> 00:29:22,192
We, as an agency, we want
to go to Mars and even beyond.
538
00:29:22,226 --> 00:29:23,861
And of course we're very excited
539
00:29:23,894 --> 00:29:26,697
about the excitement that
Elon is bringing to this,
540
00:29:26,730 --> 00:29:29,866
that SpaceX is
bringing to this idea
541
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:33,071
of humans expanding
throughout the solar system.
542
00:29:36,105 --> 00:29:38,843
[Narrator] In 2010,
he took Tesla public
543
00:29:38,875 --> 00:29:41,345
and his fortune skyrocketed.
544
00:29:41,377 --> 00:29:45,015
Not everyone was as upbeat
about the company's future.
545
00:29:45,048 --> 00:29:46,917
In fact, it was
voted by Wall Street
546
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:49,720
as the least likely to succeed,
547
00:29:49,752 --> 00:29:52,923
but investors
ignored the skeptics.
548
00:29:52,957 --> 00:29:56,661
Even Musk started Tesla
and SpaceX in mind
549
00:29:56,693 --> 00:29:59,997
that the most likely
outcome was failure,
550
00:30:00,029 --> 00:30:02,500
but he was willing
to take the risk.
551
00:30:02,532 --> 00:30:04,034
Well, the reason
that I'm doing it,
552
00:30:04,067 --> 00:30:05,869
and so many, a lot of people
at Tesla are doing it,
553
00:30:05,903 --> 00:30:08,739
is because we think it
actually is gonna make
554
00:30:08,771 --> 00:30:10,006
a difference to the world
555
00:30:10,039 --> 00:30:12,076
if we transition to
sustainable transport sooner
556
00:30:12,108 --> 00:30:13,243
rather than later.
557
00:30:14,644 --> 00:30:17,381
We're not doing this because
we thought it was, like,
558
00:30:17,413 --> 00:30:19,282
a way to get rich or
anything like that.
559
00:30:19,316 --> 00:30:22,119
Like I said, we felt, I felt
maybe 10% chance of success
560
00:30:22,152 --> 00:30:23,386
at the beginning.
561
00:30:23,420 --> 00:30:25,523
I thought I would just
lose all my money.
562
00:30:25,556 --> 00:30:27,258
It almost did, so
it's not like it was,
563
00:30:27,290 --> 00:30:30,260
that was, I came very
close to losing everything.
564
00:30:30,294 --> 00:30:31,929

00:30:34,163 --> 00:30:35,700
- Elon.
- Elon, down here.
568
00:30:35,732 --> 00:30:37,534
- Elon.
- Elon. [whistles]
569
00:30:37,567 --> 00:30:39,036
- Come on.
- Come on.

[photographers shout]
571
00:30:40,104 --> 00:30:41,538
[Photographer]
Elon, stay here.
572
00:30:41,571 --> 00:30:43,640
[Narrator] Tesla
continues to thrive and grow
573
00:30:43,673 --> 00:30:46,610
and it now has more than
12,000 superchargers
574
00:30:46,644 --> 00:30:49,614
across North America,
Europe and Asia.
575
00:30:51,147 --> 00:30:53,317
By promoting clean driving
and showing the world
576
00:30:53,349 --> 00:30:57,320
that electric cars are in
fact better than gasoline,
577
00:30:57,354 --> 00:31:02,093
Musk is about to trigger an
electric transport revolution.
578
00:31:02,125 --> 00:31:04,228
I would encourage
more participation
579
00:31:04,260 --> 00:31:07,164
by whoever it is to
create electric vehicles.
580
00:31:08,531 --> 00:31:12,936
It's quite hard to do, but I
think companies, like Apple,
581
00:31:12,970 --> 00:31:15,173
will probably make a
compelling electric car.
582
00:31:16,373 --> 00:31:18,042
It seems like the
obvious thing to do.
583
00:31:18,875 --> 00:31:20,478
[Narrator] It had worked.
584
00:31:20,510 --> 00:31:22,512
Elon was back.
585
00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:26,517
However, Tesla continues
to be controversial.
586
00:31:27,984 --> 00:31:29,686
Throughout the years, critics
have slammed the company
587
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,123
for its cars' quality issues,
588
00:31:32,155 --> 00:31:35,292
and Musk himself
admitted to the defects.
589
00:31:35,326 --> 00:31:37,595
Recently, they also
faced lawsuits,
590
00:31:37,627 --> 00:31:40,431
investigations and layoffs.
591
00:31:40,463 --> 00:31:43,166
Their reputation
have taken many hits
592
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,170
and they have faced
turbulent years.
593
00:31:46,202 --> 00:31:48,138
Facebook was the
only other company
594
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:53,044
to experience a larger decline
than Tesla in the 2019 poll.
595
00:31:54,377 --> 00:31:58,115
Musk said making
mistakes is inevitable,
596
00:31:58,147 --> 00:32:03,086
but he's dedicated to constantly
improving, making progress.
597
00:32:04,253 --> 00:32:06,823
He hasn't stopped
innovating and taking risks.
598
00:32:08,258 --> 00:32:12,063
He made history
on May 22nd, 2012,
599
00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:14,298
when after a flawless liftoff,
600
00:32:14,330 --> 00:32:18,168
the Falcon 9 rocket thundered
unmanned into space.

And launch of the
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
612
00:32:35,219 --> 00:32:37,555
as NASA turns to
the private sector
613
00:32:37,587 --> 00:32:40,191
to resupply the
International Space Station.
614
00:32:41,392 --> 00:32:46,397
[rocket engines roar]
[dramatic music]
615
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:51,168
[Narrator] It would send
the first commercial vehicle
616
00:32:51,201 --> 00:32:53,604
to the International
Space Station,
617
00:32:55,204 --> 00:32:57,441
delivering a Dragon
cargo capsule full
618
00:32:57,473 --> 00:32:59,277
of groceries and supplies.
619
00:33:01,811 --> 00:33:04,280
"Every bit of adrenaline
in my body released
620
00:33:04,314 --> 00:33:06,750
at that moment," said Elon Musk
621
00:33:06,784 --> 00:33:09,387
about the moment the
rocket lifted off the pad.
622
00:33:10,421 --> 00:33:11,422
First of all, some
people don't realize
623
00:33:11,454 --> 00:33:12,756
we have a space station.
624
00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:14,625
Like, "You cannot
of be serious."
625
00:33:14,657 --> 00:33:18,128
We have a gigantic space
station, it's huge. [laughs]
626
00:33:18,162 --> 00:33:19,297
It's really gigantic.
627
00:33:21,230 --> 00:33:22,633
I mean, it's a pretty
incredible structure
628
00:33:22,665 --> 00:33:25,235
that we have orbiting the earth.
629
00:33:26,436 --> 00:33:29,439
And I think just, I'd
recommend like, man,
630
00:33:29,472 --> 00:33:31,207
we've got to do something
to educate the public
631
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,244
about the awesomeness
of the space station
632
00:33:34,278 --> 00:33:35,747
because it is pretty amazing.
633
00:33:38,816 --> 00:33:41,285
[Narrator] SpaceX now
regularly shoots satellites
634
00:33:41,317 --> 00:33:42,420
into space.
635
00:33:43,686 --> 00:33:44,988
[soft piano music]
[engines roar]
636
00:33:45,021 --> 00:33:46,557
[Operator] There's
a solar telemetry link
637
00:33:46,589 --> 00:33:49,126
and power systems are normal.
638
00:33:51,461 --> 00:33:55,732
We are entering a new
era of space exploration
639
00:33:55,766 --> 00:33:57,301
which is extremely exciting.
640
00:33:59,368 --> 00:34:01,071
And it's not just SpaceX,
641
00:34:01,105 --> 00:34:02,839
but there's a number
of other companies
642
00:34:02,873 --> 00:34:06,477
that have developed
new approaches
643
00:34:06,509 --> 00:34:08,244
and NASA is taking new
approaches to things,
644
00:34:08,277 --> 00:34:10,147
which is really exciting.
645
00:34:11,782 --> 00:34:15,286
The alternative is to become
a space-faring civilization
646
00:34:15,318 --> 00:34:17,353
and a multi-planet species,
647
00:34:17,387 --> 00:34:20,658
which I hope you would agree
that is the right way to go.
648
00:34:20,690 --> 00:34:23,293
[hopeful music]
649
00:34:40,309 --> 00:34:42,480
The thing that's happened
in the last couple of years,
650
00:34:42,512 --> 00:34:45,315
which I'm really excited about
651
00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:49,153
and I think makes the
difference for access to space,
652
00:34:49,186 --> 00:34:51,055
is the landing
653
00:34:52,054 --> 00:34:55,158
of the Falcon 9 rocket booster.
654
00:34:56,492 --> 00:34:57,661
And in the,
655
00:34:57,693 --> 00:35:01,431
[audience applauding]
yeah.
656
00:35:02,398 --> 00:35:03,867
[Narrator] In 2013,
657
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:06,836
the business side of
things was booming for him.
658
00:35:06,869 --> 00:35:10,340
The financial crisis became
somewhat of a distant memory.
659
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,610
He came up with more inventions.
660
00:35:16,112 --> 00:35:19,682
[suspenseful music]
661
00:35:19,715 --> 00:35:24,721
In August 2013, Musk
released the Hyperloop,
662
00:35:25,922 --> 00:35:27,323
a form of transport that
would allow commuting
663
00:35:27,356 --> 00:35:30,494
between major cities in a
very short amount of time
664
00:35:30,527 --> 00:35:33,429
while severely reducing traffic.
665
00:35:33,463 --> 00:35:36,367
Ideally powered by
renewable energy,
666
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,403
the high-speed transit
systems would repel riders
667
00:35:39,436 --> 00:35:41,338
in pods through tubes
668
00:35:41,371 --> 00:35:44,608
at speeds reaching more
than 700 miles per hour.
669
00:35:44,641 --> 00:35:47,545
[determined music]
670
00:35:51,914 --> 00:35:56,253
In 2015, SpaceX began
development of the Starlink
671
00:35:56,286 --> 00:35:59,557
to provide satellite
internet access.
672
00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:02,459
On May 24th, 2019,
673
00:36:02,492 --> 00:36:06,430
the first 60 operational
satellites were launched.
674
00:36:06,463 --> 00:36:09,400
The project costs
about $10 billion.
675
00:36:09,432 --> 00:36:12,335
[dramatic music]
676
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:20,110
[determined music]
677
00:36:21,577 --> 00:36:23,447
For Musk, the future
also means having to deal
678
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,382
with artificial intelligence.
679
00:36:26,416 --> 00:36:29,820
So in 2015, he
co-founded OpenAI,
680
00:36:31,255 --> 00:36:32,789
a nonprofit research company
681
00:36:32,822 --> 00:36:36,259
that aims to promote friendly
artificial intelligence.
682
00:36:37,494 --> 00:36:41,599
He also co-founded
Neuralink in 2016,
683
00:36:41,632 --> 00:36:42,766
a startup company focused
684
00:36:42,798 --> 00:36:46,003
on developing
brain-computer interfaces.
685
00:36:46,036 --> 00:36:48,172
These advancements
could improve memory
686
00:36:48,204 --> 00:36:50,942
or help human beings
merge with software.
687
00:36:54,978 --> 00:36:59,983
In December 2016, determined
to eliminate city traffic,
688
00:37:00,817 --> 00:37:03,119
Musk created The Boring Company,
689
00:37:03,152 --> 00:37:05,755
a tunnel and transport startup.
690
00:37:05,789 --> 00:37:09,293
Musk saw limitations with the
current transportation network
691
00:37:09,326 --> 00:37:12,929
and the infamous Los Angeles
traffic and he had a vision
692
00:37:12,963 --> 00:37:16,467
of a futuristic underground
public transport system.
693
00:37:17,733 --> 00:37:20,603
Their first self-driving
tunnel is almost complete
694
00:37:20,637 --> 00:37:22,472
under Las Vegas.
695
00:37:22,505 --> 00:37:26,143
He intends to use the tunnels
for the Hyperloop vehicles.
696
00:37:27,143 --> 00:37:28,645
That year he announced
697
00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:31,182
that self-driving electric
cars are the future.
698
00:37:33,817 --> 00:37:37,353
My guess is in
probably 10 years,
699
00:37:37,387 --> 00:37:40,457
it will be very unusual
for cars to be built
700
00:37:40,489 --> 00:37:42,625
that are not fully autonomous.
701
00:37:42,659 --> 00:37:46,197
Owning a car that is not
self-driving in the long term
702
00:37:47,496 --> 00:37:48,665
will be like owning a horse.
703
00:37:48,699 --> 00:37:49,900
You would own it for
704
00:37:49,932 --> 00:37:51,869
and you would use it
for sentimental reasons,
705
00:37:51,902 --> 00:37:56,240
but not for, you know,
not for daily use, really.
706
00:37:56,273 --> 00:37:58,776
[air whooshes]
707
00:38:00,177 --> 00:38:02,680
[soft music]
708
00:38:05,882 --> 00:38:08,519
[Narrator] He also announced
that getting humans to Mars
709
00:38:08,552 --> 00:38:10,887
was officially one
of his main goals.
710
00:38:14,090 --> 00:38:19,029
A cool goal that even
has a set date, 2024.
711
00:38:20,764 --> 00:38:24,934
It'll be cool to be born on
earth and die on Mars, yeah.
712
00:38:24,967 --> 00:38:26,536
You said before you
want to retire on Mars,
713
00:38:26,570 --> 00:38:28,272
is this more or less feasible?
714
00:38:29,438 --> 00:38:30,907
Well, actually
it was asked, do I,
715
00:38:32,541 --> 00:38:34,711
it's more like if
I were to retire,
716
00:38:34,744 --> 00:38:35,878
it's not like I want to retire,
717
00:38:35,911 --> 00:38:38,948
but if I were to retire
on the verge of senility
718
00:38:38,981 --> 00:38:41,585
I'd like it to be on
Mars, that would be cool.
719
00:38:41,617 --> 00:38:42,920
[soft music]
720
00:38:42,952 --> 00:38:45,621
[Narrator] He hopes making
space travel affordable,
721
00:38:45,655 --> 00:38:50,227
around $100,000 per person,
would hopefully entice humans
722
00:38:50,260 --> 00:38:52,496
to permanently moved
to the red planet.
723
00:38:54,898 --> 00:38:58,568
In 2018, he announced the
first private astronaut
724
00:38:58,601 --> 00:39:00,603
to travel to the moon.
725
00:39:00,637 --> 00:39:05,643
I'd like to introduce the
first paying customer of BFR.
726
00:39:06,643 --> 00:39:09,579
Yusaku Maezawa,
please come forward.
727
00:39:10,947 --> 00:39:11,715
Yeah.
[audience cheers]
728
00:39:11,748 --> 00:39:14,418
See what's up.
729
00:39:14,451 --> 00:39:15,619
Thank you, Elon.
730
00:39:15,652 --> 00:39:16,720
Thank you.
731
00:39:16,753 --> 00:39:20,124
Thank you, everyone.
[audience applauding]
732
00:39:20,157 --> 00:39:20,923
Wow.
733
00:39:20,956 --> 00:39:23,659
In 2023,
734
00:39:23,693 --> 00:39:25,162
as the host,
735
00:39:25,195 --> 00:39:29,666
I'd like to invite
six to eight artists
736
00:39:29,699 --> 00:39:32,336
from around the world to join me
737
00:39:32,369 --> 00:39:34,038
on this mission to the moon.
738
00:39:39,141 --> 00:39:42,578
A future where we are a
space-faring civilization
739
00:39:42,612 --> 00:39:46,483
and out there among the stars
is infinitely more exciting
740
00:39:46,516 --> 00:39:48,619
and inspiring than
one where we are not.
741
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:50,921
You basically, I think,
have to hate humanity
742
00:39:50,954 --> 00:39:52,556
if you don't like that future.
743
00:39:53,389 --> 00:39:55,992
[hopeful music]
744
00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:01,865
[Narrator] We've
come a long way
745
00:40:01,898 --> 00:40:04,034
since the beginning
of the space race.
746
00:40:07,471 --> 00:40:11,041
In 1969, the first person
set foot on the moon,
747
00:40:11,074 --> 00:40:12,376
making history.
748
00:40:16,012 --> 00:40:18,715
Today, SpaceX brings
us one step closer
749
00:40:18,748 --> 00:40:20,818
to the next giant
leap for mankind.
750
00:40:28,891 --> 00:40:32,663
In May 2018, Musk
appeared at the Met Gala
751
00:40:32,695 --> 00:40:35,231
with his new
girlfriend on his arm,
752
00:40:35,264 --> 00:40:37,867
the Canadian singer,
Claire Boucher,
753
00:40:38,702 --> 00:40:41,638
professionally known as Grimes.
754
00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:44,006
They met online a
few weeks before,
755
00:40:44,039 --> 00:40:46,342
after Musk discovered
a joke on Twitter
756
00:40:46,376 --> 00:40:49,413
about artificial intelligence
on Grime's account.
757
00:40:50,380 --> 00:40:51,748
He reached out to her
758
00:40:51,780 --> 00:40:53,918
and they started dating
quietly since then.
759
00:40:55,117 --> 00:40:56,820
Musk told "The Wall
Street Journal"
760
00:40:56,853 --> 00:41:00,324
that he loves her for her
wild, artistic creativity
761
00:41:00,356 --> 00:41:01,891
and intense work ethic.
762
00:41:03,126 --> 00:41:07,197
Two years later, in May 2020,
Elon announced the birth
763
00:41:07,230 --> 00:41:09,699
of their first son on Twitter,
764
00:41:09,733 --> 00:41:12,936
a son with the
most unusual name.
765
00:41:12,969 --> 00:41:14,671
The couple initially announced
766
00:41:14,704 --> 00:41:19,443
that they had named their
new baby X Ash A-12 Musk.
767
00:41:20,710 --> 00:41:23,914
The baby's surname is
simply Musk, or Little X.
768
00:41:25,081 --> 00:41:27,785
I mean, it's just
X, the letter X.
769
00:41:28,985 --> 00:41:32,756
And then the AE is,
like, pronounced Ash.
770
00:41:33,657 --> 00:41:35,125
[Joe laughs]
771
00:41:35,157 --> 00:41:36,460
Yeah.
772
00:41:36,492 --> 00:41:39,896
And then A-12, A-12
is my contribution.
773
00:41:39,929 --> 00:41:41,565
Oh, why A-12?
774
00:41:41,597 --> 00:41:44,601
Archangel 12, the
precursor to the SR-71,
775
00:41:44,634 --> 00:41:45,802
the coolest plane ever.
776
00:41:48,003 --> 00:41:49,572
[Reporter] I love
how Rogan was laughing
777
00:41:49,606 --> 00:41:52,276
because we were all like, "Ash,
how did you get out of it?"
778
00:41:52,309 --> 00:41:53,310
But look at this baby.
779
00:41:53,342 --> 00:41:54,344
- How adorable is he?
- Oh.
780
00:41:55,579 --> 00:41:57,614
[Narrator] The name
of Grimes and Musk's son
781
00:41:57,646 --> 00:42:00,918
isn't the only thing
controversial about him.
782
00:42:00,951 --> 00:42:04,521
He's been known to be infamously
controversial on Twitter.
783
00:42:05,855 --> 00:42:10,661
In May 2020, he wiped off
$14 billion of Tesla's value
784
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,596
with just one Tweet.
785
00:42:13,630 --> 00:42:17,401
By writing, "Tesla stock
price is too high,"
786
00:42:17,434 --> 00:42:20,137
$3 billion were taken
off his own stake
787
00:42:20,170 --> 00:42:22,773
as investors bailed
following his Tweet.
788
00:42:24,206 --> 00:42:28,311
On May 1st, 2020, Musk decided
that he was going to put
789
00:42:28,344 --> 00:42:30,780
all of his seven
homes on the market.
790
00:42:30,813 --> 00:42:35,018
He Tweeted, "I'm selling almost
all physical possessions.
791
00:42:35,050 --> 00:42:37,353
Will own no house."
792
00:42:37,387 --> 00:42:39,256
He was also seen smoking weed
793
00:42:39,289 --> 00:42:41,158
in an interview with Joe Rogan.
794
00:42:42,958 --> 00:42:44,927
- I mean, it's legal, right?
- It's totally legal.
795
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:45,962
Okay.
796
00:42:45,996 --> 00:42:47,631
[Joe] How does that work?
797
00:42:47,664 --> 00:42:49,266
Do people get upset at you
if you do certain things?
798
00:42:49,298 --> 00:42:50,833
[Ruhle] Do you
see this right here?
799
00:42:50,867 --> 00:42:51,835
Elon Musk.
800
00:42:51,867 --> 00:42:52,835
[Joe] There's tobacco
and marijuana in there.
801
00:42:52,869 --> 00:42:54,137
[Velshi] Is he inhaling?
802
00:42:55,371 --> 00:42:56,672
Yeah, I'm not sure.
803
00:42:56,706 --> 00:42:57,941
[Ruhle] Okay, whether
or not he's inhaling,
804
00:42:57,974 --> 00:43:00,978
he's in a state
where it's legal.
805
00:43:01,010 --> 00:43:03,012
[soft music]
806
00:43:03,045 --> 00:43:04,880
[Narrator] After being
married three times,
807
00:43:04,914 --> 00:43:08,151
twice to the same woman,
having six children
808
00:43:08,184 --> 00:43:11,955
and costing his shareholders
billions with his Tweets,
809
00:43:11,987 --> 00:43:14,357
it is fair to say that
his personal life has been
810
00:43:14,391 --> 00:43:16,994
as vertiginous as his
professional life.
811
00:43:18,061 --> 00:43:19,896
His journey wasn't always made
812
00:43:19,929 --> 00:43:22,365
of bright moments and successes,
813
00:43:22,398 --> 00:43:25,001
but Elon Musk finally
reached the heights
814
00:43:25,034 --> 00:43:27,036
that he was aiming for.
815
00:43:27,070 --> 00:43:31,008
His oversized personality gets
him in trouble occasionally,
816
00:43:31,041 --> 00:43:34,345
but he also has a vision
and is driven by a purpose.
817
00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:39,182
At the Emerging
Technologies event in 2018,
818
00:43:39,215 --> 00:43:42,552
he said that building
the future is his goal.
819
00:43:42,585 --> 00:43:44,920
The thing drives me is that
820
00:43:44,954 --> 00:43:46,923
I want to be able to
think about the future
821
00:43:46,956 --> 00:43:48,025
and
822
00:43:49,525 --> 00:43:51,260
you feel good about that
823
00:43:51,293 --> 00:43:52,096
so
824
00:43:53,262 --> 00:43:55,231
that, you know, we're
doing what we can
825
00:43:55,264 --> 00:43:59,769
to have the future be
as good as possible,
826
00:44:01,371 --> 00:44:04,041
to be inspired by what
is likely to happen
827
00:44:05,574 --> 00:44:09,512
and to look forward
to the next day.
828
00:44:09,545 --> 00:44:11,914
[Narrator] Recently, he
has also become a proponent
829
00:44:11,947 --> 00:44:13,716
of digital currencies
830
00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:16,987
and Tesla invested $1.5
billion in Bitcoin.
831
00:44:19,054 --> 00:44:21,924
After climbing to the top
of American capitalism
832
00:44:21,958 --> 00:44:24,061
at an incredible speed,
833
00:44:24,094 --> 00:44:28,932
in January 2021, he briefly
surpassed Jeff Bezos
834
00:44:28,965 --> 00:44:31,233
as the richest
person in the world
835
00:44:31,266 --> 00:44:35,172
as his net worth
increased to $209 billion.
836
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,943
In 2002, he founded
the Musk Foundation
837
00:44:40,976 --> 00:44:44,780
which supports renewable
energy, space exploration,
838
00:44:44,813 --> 00:44:49,652
science, pediatric and
artificial intelligence research.
839
00:44:49,686 --> 00:44:50,954
And he has donated
840
00:44:50,987 --> 00:44:55,592
at least $257 million
to the organization.
841
00:44:55,625 --> 00:44:57,994
Musk doesn't do
typical philanthropy
842
00:44:58,027 --> 00:45:00,731
as we know it, like Bill Gates,
843
00:45:00,764 --> 00:45:04,166
most of his money goes straight
back into his companies.
844
00:45:04,199 --> 00:45:06,936
But he works for
a better planet.
845
00:45:06,969 --> 00:45:09,939
and this is most definitely
being philanthropic.
846
00:45:11,039 --> 00:45:13,643
In 2012, Musk
joined billionaires,
847
00:45:13,675 --> 00:45:16,078
like Bill Gates and
Mark Zuckerberg,
848
00:45:16,112 --> 00:45:18,414
in signing The Giving Pledge,
849
00:45:18,447 --> 00:45:21,350
a commitment to give away
the majority of their wealth
850
00:45:21,384 --> 00:45:24,621
either during their
lifetimes or in their will.
851
00:45:24,653 --> 00:45:27,157
[upbeat music]
852
00:45:36,699 --> 00:45:38,001
Are there limitations
853
00:45:38,034 --> 00:45:41,305
for where your imagination
can take your reality?
854
00:45:42,539 --> 00:45:45,175
Elon Musk doesn't
seem to think so.
855
00:45:45,208 --> 00:45:48,311
His visions for the future
are beyond imagination
856
00:45:48,344 --> 00:45:49,579
and inspiring.
857
00:45:51,146 --> 00:45:53,949
He has come a long way from
a South African immigrant
858
00:45:53,983 --> 00:45:58,822
and a bullied boy to a
self-made CEO billionaire,
859
00:45:58,855 --> 00:46:01,958
taking on more than
five industries.
860
00:46:01,990 --> 00:46:04,393
He showed us all how
to do something new
861
00:46:04,427 --> 00:46:07,064
that we didn't think
was possible before.
862
00:46:08,530 --> 00:46:11,168
As we look at his accomplishments,
there is no denying
863
00:46:11,201 --> 00:46:15,405
that Elon Musk is a genuine
Silicon Valley success story.
864
00:46:16,606 --> 00:46:18,475
He was named one of
"Time" magazine's"
865
00:46:18,507 --> 00:46:21,343
most influential
people in the world.
866
00:46:21,376 --> 00:46:24,980
He was never short of
confidence and optimism.
867
00:46:25,014 --> 00:46:27,250
He has defied the critics.
868
00:46:27,282 --> 00:46:31,221
He kept fighting on the
hardest days and never gave up.
869
00:46:32,121 --> 00:46:33,123
PayPal, SpaceX,
870
00:46:34,190 --> 00:46:37,059
Tesla, SolarCity,
871
00:46:37,092 --> 00:46:40,096
they all have had an
important impact on the world.
872
00:46:41,697 --> 00:46:44,400
The tech billionaires
are an example.
873
00:46:44,434 --> 00:46:48,038
We learn from them that even
heroes go through tough times
874
00:46:48,070 --> 00:46:49,940
to get where they are today.
875
00:46:51,106 --> 00:46:53,610
It can all start
with one individual
876
00:46:53,643 --> 00:46:56,213
and their dreams and ambition,
877
00:46:56,246 --> 00:47:00,050
with someone who wanted to
make the world a better place.
878
00:47:00,083 --> 00:47:03,420
It can all start
with a small step.
879
00:47:06,088 --> 00:47:11,094
It seems that for Elon Musk,
not even the sky is the limit.
880
00:47:13,896 --> 00:47:17,099
There are no limits.

Space is one of those things
883
00:47:27,175 --> 00:47:30,079
that I think almost
everyone is inspired by.
884
00:47:30,112 --> 00:47:32,047
And if you asked people
885
00:47:32,081 --> 00:47:34,084
what was the most
inspiring event in history,
886
00:47:34,117 --> 00:47:36,319
it was probably
landing on the moon,
887
00:47:36,351 --> 00:47:38,254
you know, if you ask
people anywhere, I'd say.
