These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:10,293 --> 00:00:15,293 2 00:00:16,282 --> 00:00:18,518 [soft music] 3 00:00:26,992 --> 00:00:29,429 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. 11 00:00:56,822 --> 00:00:58,291 [air whooshes] 12 00:00:58,323 --> 00:01:01,193 [determined music] 13 00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:07,466 You know, I think all transport, 14 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. 20 00:01:25,984 --> 00:01:28,653 [Narrator] Our generation has seen incredible advancements 21 00:01:28,686 --> 00:01:30,456 in technology. 22 00:01:30,489 --> 00:01:33,126 For that we can thank one of the most successful, 23 00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:37,564 influential and notorious entrepreneurs of the 21st century. 24 00:01:39,031 --> 00:01:42,435 Elon Musk, the mind behind PayPal, 25 00:01:43,536 --> 00:01:46,638 founder of Tesla and SpaceX, 26 00:01:46,671 --> 00:01:48,707 the second richest man in the world 27 00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:51,376 after Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, 28 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, 33 00:02:14,066 --> 00:02:16,002 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 space colonization. 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 rockets, electric cars, 41 00:02:44,896 --> 00:02:47,465 solar batteries, and robots, 42 00:02:47,498 --> 00:02:50,735 his astounding success puts him on top of the rank 43 00:02:50,769 --> 00:02:52,605 of the world's wealthiest men. 44 00:02:59,777 --> 00:03:02,715 They are masterminds, 45 00:03:02,747 --> 00:03:07,686 ambitious, competitive and ruthless, not afraid of failure, 46 00:03:09,288 --> 00:03:12,091 dedicated to their mission of bettering the world. 47 00:03:12,123 --> 00:03:16,995 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 51 00:03:24,502 --> 00:03:27,138 that they revolutionize the industry 52 00:03:27,171 --> 00:03:30,776 and together they change the world. 53 00:03:31,943 --> 00:03:33,679 Join us in this series as we take a look 54 00:03:33,711 --> 00:03:37,582 at some of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in the modern world, 55 00:03:37,616 --> 00:03:41,654 the tech billionaires, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, 56 00:03:41,687 --> 00:03:44,524 Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos. 57 00:03:45,491 --> 00:03:47,093 Together they're worth a collective 58 00:03:47,126 --> 00:03:50,362 of more than 900 billion US dollars. 59 00:03:51,562 --> 00:03:53,531 They will be remembered in history 60 00:03:53,564 --> 00:03:58,103 as the most influential people of the 21st century. 61 00:03:58,137 --> 00:03:58,971 [inspiring music] 62 00:03:59,003 --> 00:04:01,873 [letters clinking] 63 00:04:06,512 --> 00:04:09,681 [letters clinking] 64 00:04:15,554 --> 00:04:18,223 [upbeat music] 65 00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:26,231 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 00:08:26,137 --> 00:08:28,840 [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. 172 00:10:08,572 --> 00:10:10,875 Musk is not the first big name in Silicon Valley 173 00:10:10,908 --> 00:10:14,913 to have dropped out of college and gone on to find success. 174 00:10:14,946 --> 00:10:17,816 Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs, 175 00:10:17,849 --> 00:10:19,852 and two of the world's richest men, 176 00:10:19,884 --> 00:10:22,388 Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, 177 00:10:22,421 --> 00:10:25,625 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. 318 00:18:40,417 --> 00:18:44,221 Presence on another heavenly body, 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

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 They inspired you to do this didn't they? 338 00:19:41,346 --> 00:19:42,146 Yes. 339

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

her was, 360 00:20:43,974 --> 00:20:46,211 "Do you ever think about electric cars?"

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.

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 -->

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]

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

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 -->

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

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

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

00:38:50,260 --> 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
