Nourish me fit. 208 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,800 Then I get in, selfie... I'm trapped in selfie land. 209 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,880 What are the plans in coming months? Why are you here? 210 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,280 Are you from, like, the news? Local media. OK, cool. 211 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,880 Well, well, obviously, as you can see, we're building a production 212 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,520 facility here, a real production facility. 213 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,800 Can you tell us a little bit about what you're building, 214 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,200 just in basic terms? 215 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,480 A spaceship. 216 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,240 Please join me in welcoming Elon Musk. 217 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,480 What I really want to try to achieve here is to make Mars the impossible. 218 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,640 Make it seem as though it's something that we can do 219 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,360 in our lifetimes. 220 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,840 And that you can go. 221 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,280 This is to give you a sense of size. 222 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,600 It's quite big! 223 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,640 But it kind of needs to be about this size because in order to fit 224 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,000 100 people or thereabouts in the pressurised section, 225 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,560 plus carry the luggage and all of the unpressurized cargo 226 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,400 to build propellant plants and build everything from iron foundries 227 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,160 to pizza joints to you name it in the... 228 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,200 But we need carry a lot of cargo. 229 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,160 Elon's plan is to send thousands of spaceships to Mars 230 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,120 in order to build a new civilisation. 231 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,880 In order to build a self-sustaining city, 232 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,200 it needs to be a million people or something like that. 233 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,400 If moving to Mars costs $100,000, then I think, you know, 234 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,680 almost anyone can work and save up and eventually be able to go to Mars 235 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,080 if they want. 236 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,840 If you look at who the most famous human being 237 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,120 in all of human history is, 238 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,120 I can tell you who that is, but I can't tell you 239 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,600 what their name is. 240 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,880 I can't tell you what sex the person is. 241 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,960 But I can tell you it's going to be the first human born on another 242 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,680 planet like Mars, right? 243 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,280 So this vision is what drives Elon. 244 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,000 There are a number of steps on the road to Mars. 245 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,600 The first is a successful launch of the Falcon Heavy. 246 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,680 This will demonstrate that a significant payload 247 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,120 can be launched into Earth's orbit. 248 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:14,560 You are looking at a live view of the Falcon Heavy. 249 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,680 Yes, the Falcon Heavy. 250 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,880 Falcon heavy is essentially three Falcon 9 rockets, 251 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,680 all strapped together, 252 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,480 which means it can carry much larger payloads not only 253 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,160 to Earth orbit, but to the moon and Mars as well. 254 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,320 OK, everything's great, guys. 255 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,320 OK, party times. 256 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,320 It must be experienced live. 257 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,800 I can't... 258 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,360 Hey, it's just, yeah! 259 00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:45,040 Ten, nine, eight, seven, 260 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:50,440 six, five, four, three, two, one. 261 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,960 You see them both light up? 262 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,080 What? 263 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,240 That's unreal! 264 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,520 Once the rockets have lifted the Falcon Heavy into orbit, 265 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,200 they then detach themselves and land back on Earth. 266 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,080 When the Falcon Heavy is in orbit, it's then able to release 267 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,960 the cherry red Tesla, which is heading towards Mars. 268 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,320 # Look at those cavemen go 269 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,600 # It's the freakiest show 270 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,040 # Take a look at the lawman 271 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,640 # Beating up the wrong guy 272 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,240 # Oh, man, wonder if he'll ever know...# 273 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,920 Star booster and boost off... 274 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,720 Centre court beat back on shutdown. 275 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,440 I mean, it's kind of silly and fun, but, you know, silly, fun things 276 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,520 are important and it's still tripping me out. 277 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,680 I mean, I'm tripping bulls here! 278 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,520 They're looking to be on track towards the respective landings... 279 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,880 for Elon's final trick, 280 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,840 he successfully lands the two Falcon rockets. 281 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,880 And the Falcons have landed! 282 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,000 You have to give him credit. 283 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,720 He's one of our great geniuses, and we have to protect our genius. 284 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,200 You know, we have to protect Thomas Edison and we have to protect 285 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,720 all of these people that came up with originally the light bulb 286 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,200 and the wheel and all of these things. 287 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,520 And he's one of our very smart people. 288 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,920 And we want to we want to cherish those people. 289 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,360 That's very important. 290 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:27,280 But he's done a very good job. 291 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,520 The success and showmanship of this rocket launch 292 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,120 only adds to Elon's public profile. 293 00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:37,800 For many, he is turning into a real life superhero. 294 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,280 It's a long way from where it started. 295 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,160 In 1970, South Africa, in a city called Pretoria. 296 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,520 South Africa was a bit of a rapscallion set-up, you know? 297 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,360 Getting knocked about was pretty normal. 298 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:08,480 I mean, if you did well at school, they would wait for you 299 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,640 at the exit of the school and pummel you with a bag. 300 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,000 So, I mean, if you call that bullying, we had a lot of that. 301 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,600 Elon was a good reader very early on, Elon was very keen on reading 302 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,600 about Napoleon, about Alexander the Great, and he would, 303 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,680 he even had a copy of Napoleon's last will and testament, 304 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,680 which is in French. 305 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,000 People would say to him, 306 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,640 "are you reading that big, thick book, little boy?" 307 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,200 some idiot would say to him and Elon would say, 308 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,600 "What, are you stupid? 309 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,480 "You think I'm just looking at the pictures or what?" 310 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,360 So, you know. 311 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:47,560 But he liked to be with the adults in company. 312 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,080 So if the other kids were running around, playing, 313 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,400 he would like to sit with the adults. 314 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,840 He was often told, "why don't you go and play with the children?" 315 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,120 And he'd say, "no, I'd rather sit here with the adults." 316 00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:02,920 This engine was used for many, many cars from about 1968 to 1986. 317 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,920 I had a lot of nice cars during Elon's youth. 318 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,680 Porsche and Mercedes, 319 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,640 Ferrari and Maserati. 320 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,840 He was always interested in taking the doors apart and all that sort 321 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,320 of stuff, because sometimes you had to fix something 322 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,920 and he would do it. 323 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,720 He would open it up himself for me. 324 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,040 I wouldn't say he was the best mechanic, 325 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,360 you know, most amateur mechanics are a little bit ham-handed. 326 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,560 But he would certainly try. 327 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,080 He was definitely not a boring child. 328 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,440 Not a boring child. 329 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,000 Tesla has launched the Roadster and the Model S, 330 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,280 but for electric cars to take over, 331 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,400 the more affordable Model 3 needs to be a success. 332 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:01,120 The scaling of the company was a challenge, and Elon definitely 333 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:04,880 had a handful of people that he trusted and he put 334 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,600 in place in charge of the Gigafactory 335 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,800 and design and etc. 336 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,720 There was so much on his plate that he couldn't be, 337 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,800 because he liked to be very involved in a lot of the details. 338 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,560 But that kind of way of working was starting to fracture. 339 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,080 Breaking news, Tesla reporting first quarter results. 340 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,600 We can't call them earnings because it's a loss. 341 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,800 This is a 15-year-old company that could genuinely risk 342 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,720 running out of cash in 2018. 343 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,200 As well as production issues, 344 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,800 there are also cash flow issues. 345 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,560 Investors are starting to get nervous. 346 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,680 There were things that would come out of his mouth. 347 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,560 And words that he would say to people that, 348 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,040 under any amount of stress, were not OK. 349 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,520 He was more erratic. 350 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,640 I can count three times that he got really upset with me. 351 00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:14,280 And the last time he was yelling at me about a mistake that someone 352 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,920 on my team made, 353 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:22,240 and he was... 354 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,120 really angry 355 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:28,120 and there was a disconnect. 356 00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:30,080 I wasn't seeing Elon. 357 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,640 I was seeing this person being overtaken by this anger. 358 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,000 It was so bizarre and kind of, the blink of an eye, 359 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,760 I saw him snap out of it and recognise that it was me 360 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,400 and it was fine. 361 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,560 And he apologised to me the next day. 362 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,960 But it was in that moment that I decided, 363 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,760 I've hit my limit, 364 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,320 and it is time to go. 365 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,680 As the CEO of Tesla, 366 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,800 every quarter, Elon is asked questions by Wall Street investors. 367 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,040 In May 2018, 368 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,560 he is irritated by their questions. 369 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,920 JPM says it's bizarre. 370 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,040 RBC says the call shook confidence. 371 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,480 This is not OK. 372 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,960 If you stripped away Tesla and you didn't know who the CEO was, 373 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,840 you would come away from this conference call, 374 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,800 most people would at least, and say this company is not run properly. 375 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,360 This company just cost us $2 billion in market cap 376 00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:58,400 because of what the CEO did. 377 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,560 The pressure on Elon Musk continues to mount. 378 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:16,800 There are problems on the factory floor. 379 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,160 Whistle-blowers from his Gigafactory 380 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,280 contact journalists with
