2022

Everyone wants to know
who Elon Musk really is.

There are clues to be
found in his family history.

Whilst his mother,
Maye, is often at his side,

he is never seen
with his father.

Who has stayed in South Africa.

Something to steal things with,

go to, some place
and break the lock.

My name is Errol Graham
Musk, I'm Elon's father.

I've had to do a lot
of repairs on this car,

it takes months to
do this woodwork

as you have to it a spray
at a time and let it dry.

At a time let it dry.

My relationship with Elon
is very much the same

as my relationship
I had with my father.

We mostly
communicate on email, I

haven't spoken to him
for quite a long time.

In 2017, Elon gave an interview
to Rolling Stone magazine.

He said about his father,

"Almost every evil thing
you could possibly think of,

he has done."

You have to be a bit of a
nut case really you know.

When a gang of intruders
broke into Errol's house,

he killed three of them.

He was charged with murder
but pleaded self-defense

and was not convicted.

My daughter and I were
attacked there by gang.

They fired 52 shots at me
and I fired two shots at them.

I was using a magnum, so
one shot killed two people.

And the second shot, he
died from a shot to the groin.

I was charged with murder but
at the inquest I did get annoyed

when they said to me, "Couldn't
you have used less violence?"

And then I said in the
inquest in the court I said,

"Well you know, I only fired
two shots. They fired 52."

So, you know, it was silly...

"Can't you use less violence?"
Well, yeah, I don't know...

But it's terrible, I'm not happy
with that, I'm not proud of it.

I didn't expect it, I didn't ask
for it. But that's what happened.

But I was in the
military in South Africa,

so my advice is,
don't tangle with guys

who were in the
military in South Africa.

Elon Musk is the
richest man who has lived

but says he doesn't own a house.

He's little different
than lot of other people.

It truly embodies big
thinking and risk taking.

With a few taps from his fingers,
global markets can crash and soar.

CEO Elon Musk creating
chaos with a single tweet.

Bizarre shook confidence.

He is creating a chip that
can be put into our brains.

-Yeah.
-To a chip and a bunch of tiny wires.

Right now, he's building rockets
that could take a 100 people to Mars.

His power and wealth
continue to grow.

No one on earth is doing
more to change the world.

Come on over, man.

Why and why would
you want to talk to me?

Because you are the dude
my friend. You are the dude.

THIS IS ELON MUSK'S STORY

He's done things that
no other country can do.

It's quite magnificent.

-You're his mum and his greatest champion.
-Yes.

EX-WIVES FAMILY FRIENDS ENEMIES

He's so dangerous.
Completely, totally irresponsible.

It's not as much fun being me as
you think. I'm not sure I want to be me.

SHOULD WE CELEBRATE
HIS ACHIEVEMENTS?

It seems strange
to be handing it

all over to private enterprise

but I guess I'm kind
of stuck in the past.

OR BE FRIGHTENED BY HIS POWER?

-Unstable, reckless.
-I'm just being me.

THE ELON MUSK SHOW

TRUMP TOWER

2016

In 2016, a new president
has just been elected.

Elon will now need to
work with a new government

when delivering on his
multi-billion dollar SpaceX contracts.

I'm Safra Catz, I am
the CEO of Oracle.

I'm actually privileged and
honored to even be here.

Jeff Bezos, Amazon dot com.

Super excited
about the possibilities

this could be innovation
of this administration.

Elon Musk, CEO of
SpaceX and Tesla.

Building rockets and cars
and solar stuff in the US.

I'm excited about expanding our
manufacturing footprint in the US.

I just want to thank everybody, this
is a truly amazing group of people.

I wanna add that I am here
to help you folks do well.

There is nobody like you
in the world, in the world.

There is nobody like
the people in this room.

Elon, move it away.

Elon Musk is going big.

His profile is growing with
millions of Twitter followers.

He is expanding his business
empire with wildly ambitious companies,

designed to shape our future.

Shrouded in secrecy up until
now this is Elon Musk's pet project.

the goal is to solve the problem
of the chronic traffic congestion.

Either we try something new

or we will be stuck in traffic
hell for rest of our lives.

Elon Musk is looking
to get inside your head.

His Neuroscience
startup Neuralink

aims to implant chips in the human
brain to combat various diseases.

Basically, an effort for man to
merge with machine in a healthy way.

To beat machines you basically
have to merge with machines.

Most likely, yes.

Perhaps his biggest call is building
one of the worlds largest factories

in the middle of
the Nevada desert.

The Gigafactory will supply the
ever-growing fleet of Tesla cars

with lithium-ion batteries.

He needs to convince
20 thousand people

to come to the desert and
join the electric car company.

The hope for the
Gigafactory was that

we were going to
finally solve the market

problem of not
being able to produce

or secure enough
lithium-ion batteries.

So it really was a
survival mechanism.

He announced to the
world, as it's occurring to him,

we need to build biggest battery
factory the world's ever seen,

if our own forecast is true,
we won't have enough batteries

even if we took all that
are made by everyone.

Eventually all cars will be
electric with zero exception.

It will be companies like Tesla

and individuals like Elon
Musk who lead that charge.

Need to encourage and find
people and celebrate their existence

because that's the only hope we
have for the future of the planet.

Welcome everyone to the
Gigafactory launch party.

I hope you're
having a good time.

I love you, Elon!

You're my hero!

I want you to have a great
time tonight. This is meant...

To work at Tesla, I think
you really need to be inspired

by more than just the job that
you're doing on a day-to-day basis

but why they're doing
it, those are the people

that are called to the mission

and will stay with the
company and help it to succeed.

I think you will find that
the majority of people

who worked definitely at Tesla

and I would assume at Space X,
he asks us to do the impossible.

But it's only unattainable
until you attain it, right?

Hopefully people will buy
into it and start to believe.

-And...
-We believe!

Change the world!

We're only able to do
this because of you guys,

so without you this
could not be possible

I want to thank you very much.

All of our secrets
are right here.

I mean, it was a crazy
sort of upwards trajectory

from nothing to everything.

It felt like being on a rocket.

We were being invited places
and I remember we were...

We were at a party and actually
I think I sat next to Bill Clinton.

Elon said the great
thing about being famous

is when you sit next to
somebody you don't know at party,

they think bad
conversation is their fault

that is sort of what happens.

Everyone sort of listens
to everything he says.

And I've had people
say to me, oh, I met Elon

you know and he, you know,
I could tell he was a genius

because he seemed
incredibly distracted

and he was clearly
thinking great things.

I'd be thinking, I know he
probably just didn't like you

or he was probably bored.

I'd text Elon and,
"Met so and so"

and he would be like,
"Yeah, really boring."

Do that thing, Dad.

Talulah and Elon married in 2010,
they then divorced and re-married.

Now in 2016 things
are once again rocky

and they will divorce for a
second time later in the year.

I found LA really tough from
the moment I landed there.

It was an incredible culture shock
and I just wanted to come home.

Yeah and I kept
trying to come home

but then also I do really
love Elon as well and...

So, you know, it took quite a
few years of us figuring that out.

He could kind of see the
way the world was going

in a way I just did
not understand.

And I love having
that perspective

and I am grateful for
that, every part of that.

I hope he gets humanity to Mars

because I think that is his reason
for being, more than any other.

There are really two
fundamental paths.

One path is we
stay on earth forever.

And then there will be some
eventual extinction event.

The alternative is to become a multi
planet species. That's what we want.

Of all of Elon's dreams, building
a colony on Mars is the biggest.

Should Elon make it, he plans to
set off a series of nuclear explosions.

Vaporizing the ice caps
and heating the red plant.

In an effort to make it more
habitable for humans and plants.

Mars especially in the
beginning will not be luxurious.

It will be dangerous,
cramped, difficult, hard work.

But it will be glorious!

Elon has bought part of a
village called Boca Chica,

next to the Gulf of Mexico.

He is buying the
residents out of their homes

and creating a base
to build his spaceships.

The plan is for a
mission to Mars in 2029.

I can't take a selfie!

I must actually work, if I do one
selfie, I must do many selfies.

This is the problem.

In order to be
fair, If I do a selfie,

then I get trapped
in selfie land.

What are the plans
for coming months?

You from the news?
Oh, okay, cool.

Well, as you can see we're
building a production facility here,

a real production facility.

Can you tell us a little bit
about what you're building?

A spaceship.

Please join me in
welcoming Elon Musk!

What I want to try and achieve
here is to make Mars seems possible

and make it seem something
we can do in our lifetimes.

And that you can go.

This is to give you a
sense of size. It's quite big.

But it kind of needs
to be about this size

because in order
to fit 100 people

or there abouts in the pressurized
section, plus carry the luggage

and all of the unpressurized
cargo, to build propellant plants

and build everything from
iron foundries to pizza joints,

to you name it, we need
to carry a lot of cargo.

Elon's plan is to send
thousands of spaceships to Mars

in order to build
a new civilization.

In order to build a
self-sustaining city,

its needs to be a million
people or something like that.

If moving to Mars
costs, $100,000 dollars,

then I think almost
anyone can work

and save up and eventually be
able to go to Mars if they want to.

If you look at who the
most famous human being

in all of human history is.

I can tell you who that is but I
can't tell you what their name is

I can't tell you what sex the
person is but I can tell you

it's going to be the first human
born on another planet like Mars right,

so this vision is
what drives Elon.

FEBRUARY 2018

There are a number of
steps on the road to Mars,

the first is a successful
launch of the Falcon Heavy.

This will demonstrate
that a significant payload

can be launched
into earths orbit.

You are looking at a live
view of the Falcon Heavy.

Yes, the Falcon Heavy.

Falcon Heavy is essentially
three Falcon Nine rockets

all strapped together

which means it can carry much
larger payloads not only to Earth orbit

but to the Moon
and Mars as well.

Okay, everything's
great guys, party time.

It must be experienced
live. I can't...

It's just...

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

You see them both light up?

That's unreal!

Once the rockets have lifted
the Falcon Heavyinto orbit,

they then detach themselves
and land back on earth.

When the Falcon
Heavy is in orbit,

it's then able to release
the cherry red Tesla

which is heading towards Mars.

It's kind of silly and fun

but that's silly and fun
things are important.

I mean, it's still tripping me
out. I'm tripping balls here.

For Elon's final trick,

he successfully lands
the two falcon rockets.

And the falcons have landed.

Well, you have
to give him credit.

He is one of our great geniuses,
so we have to protect them.

We have to protect Thomas Edison

and we have to protect
all of these people

that came up originally
with the lightbulb

and the wheel and
all of these things

and he is one of our
very smart people

and we want to
cherish those people,

that's very important but
he's done a very good job.

The success and showmanship
of this rocket launch

only adds to
Elon's public profile.

For many he is turning
in to a real-life superhero.

It's a long way from
where it started.

In 1970's South Africa
in a city called Pretoria.

South Africa was a bit of
rapscallion setup, you know.

Getting knocked about
was pretty normal.

If you did well in at school,

they would wait for you
at the exit at the school

and pommel you with their bags.

And if you call that
bullying, we had a lot of that.

Elon was a good
reader very early on.

Elon was keen about reading about
Napoleon, about Alexander the Great

and he even had a copy of
Napoleons last will and testament

which was in French.

People would say to him, are
you reading that big thick book,

some idiot would say to him and
Elon would say, "What are you stupid?

"You think I'm just looking
at the pictures or what?"

So, you know... But he liked to
be with the adults in company.

If other kids were
running around playing,

he would like
to sit with adults.

He was told, why don't
you play with children?

He'd say, "I'd rather
sit with adults."

This engine was used for many,
many cars from about 1968 to 1986.

I had a lot of nice cars
during Elon's youth.

Porsche and Mercedes,

Ferrari and Maserati.

He was interested in taking
doors apart and that stuff.

Because sometimes you had to
fix something and he would do it.

He would open it
up for himself for me.

I wouldn't say he was
the best mechanic.

Most amateur mechanics
are a little bit ham handed

but he would certainly try.

He was definitely
not a boring child.

Tesla has launched the Roadster
and the model S but for eclectic cars

to take over, the more affordable
model 3 needs to be a success.

The scaling of the
company was a challenge

and Elon definitely had a
handful of people that he trusted

and he put in place in charge of the
Gigafactory and design and etcetera.

There was so much on his
plate that he couldn't be because

he liked to be very
involved in lot of the details

but that way of working
was starting to fracture.

Tesla reporting
first quarter results,

we can't call them
earnings because it's a loss.

This is 15-year-old
company that genuinely risks

running out of cash in 2018.

APRIL 2018

As well as production issues,
there are also cash flow issues.

Investors are starting
to get nervous.

There were things that
would come out of his mouth

and words that he
would say to people that

under any amount of
stress were not okay.

He was more erratic.

I can count three times that
he got really upset with me.

And the last time,
he was yelling at me

about a mistake that
someone on my team made.

And he was really angry.

And there was a disconnect.

I wasn't seeing Elon. I
was seeing this person

being overtaken by this anger.

And it was so bizarre. In
kind of the blink of an eye,

I saw him snap out of it
and recognize that it was me.

And it was fine and he
apologized to me the next day.

But it was in that moment
that I decided, I've hit my limit.

And it is time to go.

As the CEO of Tesla,

every quarter Elon is asked
questions by Wall Street investors.

In May 2018, he is
irritated by their questions.

So where specifically will
you be in terms of Musk:

Next, next.

Boring, bonehead
questions are not cool. Next.

We have no interest in satisfying
the desires of day traders,

like I couldn't care less, please
sell our stock and don't buy it.

If people are concerned
they shouldn't buy our stock.

JMP says it's bizarre. RBC
says the call shook confidence.

This is not okay because
if you stripped away Tesla

and you didn't know who the
CEO was you would come away

from conference call,
most people would at least

and say company
is not run properly.

This company just cost us
two billion dollars in market cap

because of what the CEO did.

The pressure on Elon
Musk continues to mount.

There are problems
on the factory floor.

Whistle blowers from his Giga factory
contact journalists with information.

Am I wrinkly?

Linette Lopez breaks the story.

The first piece I wrote about
Tesla was in the spring of 2018

and it was called, "Elon
Musk Doesn't Care About You".

It was shortly after Elon
Musk had sat on a earnings call

and insulted a bunch of
the investment bankers

trying to ask questions
about the company.

Digging even deeper, there were
many environmental violations

which was crazy considering that
this guy was trying to save the planet.

And I just realized Elon's project is
Elon and it's not about anyone else.

A secret whistleblower
approaches Linette

to discuss the waste
issues within Tesla.

As he was working
in the factory,

he saw all the waste,
all the incompetence.

It was a whole mess.

He emailed Elon Musk

and said, "Look, our manufacturing
process is so disjointed.

Elon did respond to that email

and say, "Yes, at Tesla, we
need to lower our scrap count.

This is crucial."

And that's when I
realized how damaging

what I had written actually was.

Linette publishes an article based on
confidential documents leaked to her

by the whistle blower, reporting
that 40 percent of the raw materials

used to produce the batteries
needed to be scrapped or reworked.

Automakers around the
world have really minimal scrap.

And here was Tesla, its share price
beating all these legacy automakers.

And they waste hundreds of
millions of dollars on waste.

That, to me, was also
something investors should know.

It's not something
you see every day,

well-known CEO calling
out reporter publicly

but that's exactly what happened

last week when Tesla
founder, Elon Musk

criticized Business
Insider's Linette Lopez

over her coverage
of the company.

Linette Lopez is with
us in studio today.

This all started because
Musk took issue with a story

that you posted on
Business Insider on June 4th.

What my reporting indicates
is that the mission of Tesla

is not really quite in line with
the manufacturing of Tesla.

And after that article, that's when
Elon started harassing me on Twitter.

All of his fans are stalking
me and making fun of me.

And pretty soon after that, he
started looking into the person

who might be feeding
me this information.

After some internal investigations
the whistle blower is located.

It's a worker on the assembly
line called Martin Tripp.

Leaking internal documents to
the press is in breach of his contract

and he is fired.

But the after effects of
the spat still rumble on.

At one point, the
Nevada police are called

and are told Martin is on his
way to the Gigafactory with a gun.

You're not under arrest, just
checking you for weapons, okay?

-You don't have any guns on you?
-No, no.

Do you mind if I just
pat you down real quick.

How did this get
so blown outta...

I was whistleblowing
about all the waste and...

There's like 732 cars that
have problems with the cells.

They keep saying that I'm stealing
data still and I'm not that smart.

Gotcha, well, don't worry.

We just to find out what's
going on because everybody...

He tells such big lies.

For Martin, this situation was a
disaster. It upended his home life.

He couldn't work
for a very long time.

Elon did what he did to Martin
to make sure everyone at Tesla

understood the consequences
of speaking to the press.

TRIPP WAS NOT CARRYING
GUN WHEN POLICE STOPPED HIM.

POLICE NEVER FOUND
OUT WHO MADE FALSE TIP.

Two weeks later, Elon
will once again find himself

in the middle of a news story.

But this time it's an event
on the other side of the world.

As water continued to rise,
equipment for a serious diving operation

was transferred by hand and
by hoist deep into the cave.

JULY 2018

In the Tham Luang
cave in Northern Thailand,

12 boys and their
football coach are trapped.

The world becomes
gripped by the story

waiting to see if they
can be rescued alive.

But it remains unclear how
they're going to get the children out.

Without the boys needing
to use scuba equipment.

Despite the mounting
issues for Elon,

he decides to allocate some of his
engineers to build a mini submarine

that he believes can
save the stranded children.

Elon flies to Thailand to
talk to the Thai rescue team

and deliver his mini submarine.

But as he arrives, the
rescue is already under way.

The 13 trapped people
are successfully rescued.

British cave diver
Vernon Unsworth,

is at the heart of the rescue and is
unimpressed by Elon's submarine.

The submarine I believe
was about 5 foot 6 long, rigid,

so it wouldn't have gone around
corners, or around any obstacles.

It wouldn't have made the
first 50 meters into the cave

from the dive start point.

Just a PR stunt.

Irritated by the rescuer's
comments, Elon takes to Twitter...

When Elon tweets, he just goes
what's in his mind at the moment.

MAYE MUSK ELON'S MOTHER

Yeah.

Some I understand
and some I don't.

When Twitter first started, I used
to call it naughty Twitter fingers.

Because I'd be like,
please don't, stop,

there's no need to
do that, don't do that.

Three days later, Elon returns
to Twitter and apologizes

but for Vernon the damage
has already been done.

Vern Unsworth, a
hero of the rescue,

should have been enjoying
morning's cave cleansing ceremony.

Instead, he was fuming.

It's not finished.

What is your sense
of this trial as it begins?

How has it damaged you?

Vernon decides to sue Elon.

18 months later they
face each other in court.

What is expected
to be a fiery trial,

pitting the richest
man in Los Angeles

against a British cave
expert. Now did Elon Musk

imply Vernon Unsworth
was a Pedophile?

And did he take quote

"reasonable care to
determine whether that was true

before he said it" Jury's
going to have to decide that.

Elon Musk was described
as in court as a billionaire bully

but the jury saw it differently.

The jury said the tweet was
an insult, not an accusation.

Vernon went toe to toe
with a billionaire bully.

Not many people have
the courage to do that.

It's a combination
of, he doesn't realize

quite what the
impact of his words

are going to be
in a lot of cases.

And in a lot of other cases,
I just don't think he cares.

-How is Mr. Musk with the decision?
-Everyone is well. Thank you all.

ELON WINS ALTHOUGH
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE

THAT WHAT HE CLAIMED
ABOUT VERNON WAS TRUE

That is why he's so
dangerous on Twitter

because he's a powerful person
who is completely, totally irresponsible.

Elon's Twitter account is now
one of the biggest in the world.

He has 22 million followers.

Check, check one, two, three.

On August the 7th,

he sends a tweet saying that he
is thinking of taking Tesla private

by buying out other share holders,
this inflates Tesla's stock price.

Good evening, everybody
thanks for joining us,

here is Stephine Bacon and Stephen
Peakin co directors of enforcement.

They'll deliver remarks and will
take questions, I'll hand it over.

We start with the Tweet
heard around the world.

CEO Elon Musk creating
chaos with single tweet

which led to the stock soaring

and then being halted
and the soaring once again.

Today the SEC filed securities
for our charges against Elon Musk

the chairman and
CEO of Tesla motors

stemming from his
August 7th, 2018,

statements disseminated
over Twitter that

he was considering
taking Tesla private.

I see a smile, do you
want to say something?

-Do you want to say something?
-What about the SEC?

After the courtcase,
Elon agrees to settle.

There is a 20 million dollar fine, he
steps down as the chairman of Tesla

and agrees to have his tweets
checked before they are sent.

Thank you very much.

Have you had any of your tweets
censored since the settlement?

-No.
-None.

Someone has to read
them before they go out?

-No.
-So your tweets are not supervised?

The only tweets that
would have to say, reviewed,

would be if a tweet had a probability
of causing a movement in the stock.

But how do they know if
it's going to move the market

if they're not reading all of
them, before you send them?

Well, I guess we might make
some mistakes, who knows?

-Are you serious?
-Nobody's perfect.

I want to be clear, I
do not respect the SEC.

I do not respect them.

One of the things
about Elon Musk

is that he hates
when other people win.

And he hates when
people... more than anything,

I think, he hates when
people bet against him.

It's like a real thing for him.

I think that what Elon realized

after his 420 tweet
was, "I got to be careful.

I don't need to cause this
havoc and this mayhem

"but at the same time,
they can't stop me."

There was a tweet
afterwards where he said

that he had a new acronym
for what the SEC, stood for.

It was Suck Elon's, yeah.

He really likes
to fuck with them.

That's the most powerful
person in the world right there.

It was definitely a defining
moment for Elon and I think after that,

he was just over it all.
He was just done with it.

That was it, he started doing
whatever he really wanted to.

Billionaire Elon Musk of
Tesla and SpaceX fame

like we've never
seen him before.

Smoking pot on YouTube.

SEPTEMBER 2018

So is that a joint?

Or is it a cigar?

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk is
the subject of a new controversy

after he appeared to smoke
marijuana during a podcast interview.

-Billionaire, Tesla head Elon Musk.
-What is he up to?

We know what he's up to.

Once again seeming to
dare people to call him out.

I think the concern is his ego.

Why did he make himself you
know smoking pot with Joe Rogan

that he tried to make mini submarine
to save those boys in Thailand.

Stop making yourself the news!

Ladies and gentleme...

With the noise growing
around Elon's behavior,

Elon decides to go on one of
the biggest shows on American TV,

to reveal something about himself
that he has not mentioned before.

Thank you, thank you very much.

It's an honor to be hosting.
I am making history tonight

as the first person with
Asperger's to host SNL.

I would not call it
Asperger's chronic,

I'd call it Asperger's acute.

Or at least the
first to admit it.

Once we get our mind on
something, we tend to not stop.

Not you can't sleep but you wake
up, you go to bed with it in your head

and you wake up
with it in your head.

You focus on it
entirely, continually,

to the point that you
might forget to eat.

Not ever, you know you can't
get the person to say, look, quit.

Quit now. Quit now. Stop this.

It's a kind of passion
or something that

possesses you to
just keep on trying,

keep on trying.

After his divorce from Talulah
Riley, Elon dates Amber Heard.

But in 2018 he appears at
the MET Gala with Grimes,

an electro-pop artist.

Elon Musk and Grimes met in
the modern way through Twitter.

They both made
similar nerdy joke

about a scary AI theory of
the future called Roko's basilisk

which I don't really even get

and that her interests
are all the same as his,

her music is very
technologically orientated

she makes everything digitally.

If I could be the
fly on the wall

in any relationship that
we know in this world.

From the moment
they got together

I was always like, god I would
love to be in a room with them.

Grimes and Elon have
had two children together.

Exa Dark Sideræl and X æ a-xii.

She told me repeatedly

that Musk has this theory
of her that she's not real,

that she's a simulation
who was created by him

and exists in his cerebral cortex as
sort of the perfect companion for him

which sounds little crazy

and maybe even a little
creepy, except she agrees with it.

She said she does
feel like in some way,

she's like this simulation who
is perfectly created for him.

I think Elon is busier
than I have ever been.

And even when I'm with
him, I don't see him much

unless I sit in the
back of the meetings

but then a wife or
girlfriend doesn't have that.

So, they really don't
see that much if him at all.

LAUNCH AMERICA

LAUNCHING AMERICAN ASTRONAUTS

ON AMERICAN ROCKETS

FROM AMERICAN SOIL

MAY 2020

These are steps to a new era of
space flight and this is the rocket

but by Space X, a company
about to make history

by carrying people into space.

And there they are
NASA Astronauts.

Doug on the left,
Bob on the right.

Now they are getting into the Tesla
model X that's going to take them

to the launch pad,
strapped into their seats.

And those falcon wing
doors are closing. Super sleek.

With the imminent launch of
the Crewed Dragon space-craft,

President Trump has flown in to
witness a day of national importance.

I want to say this is a very
exciting day for our country.

I thank Elon for, who has been
a friend of mine for a long time,

somebody I have great respect
for but this is 24/7 for you.

You're always
thinking about this,

you're thinking about other things
too. But this has been your baby.

I told my team this is not simply
top priority, this is the only priority.

That's great.

T-minus 15 seconds.

This will be the first time
private company has attempted

to transport
astronauts into space.

Elon will be fulfilling his contract
with the US government and NASA.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two,
one, zero. Ignition.

Lift off of the Falcon
9 Crew Dragon.

Go Nasa, go SpaceX,
God speed Bob and Doug!

Flying crew on board dragon
and Falcon 9 and look at them go!

He's one of our great brains
and we like great brains.

Elon's done a fantastic job.

And this is just the beginning,
they're going to Mars.

And I think anyone of
you that was an inspiration

to see what we just saw.

Right now, everything
continuing to look good.

Well, everyone.
Welcome aboard Dragon.

My name is Doug, next to me
is Bob, you probably know him.

We have Bob Benkin from
SpaceX demo two mission,

entering the international
space station.

I will tell you the whole
world saw this mission

and we are so, so proud of
everything you have done for our country

and in fact to
inspire the world.

We sure appreciate that, sir,

it has obviously been out honor
to be just a small part of this.

We need to give
credit to Space X.

We are just really glad to be on
board this magnificent complex.

2021

Three, two, one, ignition

Starship is the tallest and most
powerful launch vehicle, ever built.

6 minutes 10 seconds
to the flight, we're down...

It is designed to
be fully re-usable.

...vertical and transition to
one engine for the landing burn.

Landing the 100 ton
spacecraft proves challenging.

But on the 5th attempt, the
engineers at SpaceX crack it.

Starship is the spacecraft

that will fulfill Elon's ultimate
dream of flying to Mars.

So this is the most inspiring
thing I have ever seen.

We're faced with a choice
which future do you want.

Do you want the future where
we're space faring civilization

and are in many worlds? And
are out there amongst the stars,

or one where we are forever confined
to Earth and I say it is the first.

He wants to be known
as the greatest engineer

that we have seen
in our lifetimes.

He genuinely wants to
move humankind forward

and he wants us to
challenge ourselves.

That is a more exciting
future for humankind

from his standpoint than one where
we are forever anchored to Earth.

There is no question
he'll go to Mars.

Why he's doing the
Boring Company?

It's going to send one up there

he can bore underground,
you can have some shade.

Why think he's doing electric?
Because you can use solar in Mars

and you can solar to battery,
battery to vehicle, battery to home.

Why do you think he's doing
that? Because you got to have that.

You can't go up there
and plug something in.

There's a much bigger picture

in Elon's mind than what mere
mortals are aware of today.

But when you step
back and you look at it,

some way or another
it all goes together.

Let's make this real,
let's make this real!

And I have also learnt and I
think a lot of people have learnt

that if he says that he can
do it, don't discount Elon,

don't say no to Elon, you are
going to lose, you're going to lose.

2022

We know how the
media treats you...

-So, well!
-Yeah.

I don't have a
question for you today,

I just want to say on behalf of my
six-year-old at home, Kyler Scott,

who's watching right now who
thinks you're awesome as well,

thank you for making
the world a better place.

Thank you.

In the summer of 2022, Elon has
over a 100 million followers on Twitter.

I think Tesla would
continue to do very well

even if I were
kidnapped by aliens.

Or went back to my
home planet maybe?

Population of Mars
is still zero people!

Elon! When are you taking
us to space? We are waiting.

He is now the richest
man in the world

and has become
a divisive character,

many believe he
should spend his billions

helping to solve the
problems on earth.

You're asking those billionaires
who are going to space,

the likes of Elon Musk
and Jeff Bezos to help...

Every four seconds someone is dying
out there from hunger related causes.

Wake up, smell
the coffee and help!

The days when these guys
not only get to rake it all in

but rub everyone else's nose in it
while they head off into outer space

while they declare they
did this all on their own

while they were subsidized
by the federal government

and subsided by every waitress

and by every public-school teacher
who paid their taxes. This is wrong!

Elon is really dedicated
to saving this planet.

I'm happy to say that
SpaceX and Tesla

are in the hands
of my brilliant son.

Well, genius son. We
admire him for that.

We don't want to be him
because with those companies

he gets a lot of hate.

Stop being mean to him! I hate it
when the media are mean to him!

Why didn't you use the money

to do something for
charity, philanthropy,

more good with that money.

I do a lot of things,
philanthropically.

He gets up every morning thinking
what can I do for humanity today?

How can I do something that will be
impactful to humanity of the future?

That's what he is focused on.

Elon is not going to buy Twitter.
Oh, he's got himself a mess.

He said the other day, "I have
never voted for a Republican",

I said, "I didn't know that",
he said that he voted for me.

So he is another
bullshit artist.

But he's not going to be buying
it, he's not going to be buying it.

He might later, who the hell
knows what's going to happen.

Everything about
Elon is a contradiction.

There's this incredible inventor

and then there's this
person who makes

some pretty silly
business decisions.

Elon and these... a
lot of these tech guys,

are just casting themselves as
heroes in their favorite sci-fi novels.

A lot of those books are dark

because they're about a hero
who saves the world from dystopia.

Of course, if you're going to be
that hero, dystopia has to exist first.

I do have some dark dreams

I don't know why I've always
had those from when I was a kid.

Vivid dreams that
are often scary.

In Elon's mind, that dystopia is
coming and they want to be that hero.

And the work that they do
is to aggrandize that vision.

It's not about you or me

it's not about the truth of what's
going to happen to our planet.

It's just really a monument
to their childhood.

He learned everything
about Tesla, Einstein.

He has learned
everything that they knew

and he's trying to
take it to the next level.

So, I think he's the
closest thing that we have

to that kind of a figure
in our day and age

and I think by the time he
is done building his legacy

it will be unquestionable
that he is a accumulation

of Einstein, Tesla
and Rockefeller.

When you set out to do
something incredibly hard,

there are going to be a lot of
hard days that go along with that.

Okay, thank you!

You Tweeted that
you are building

a tunnel under
Washington DC, why?

What is it? Well, it's a
secret plot just between us.

There are part of
him you'll never know,

how did he get so strong willed.

I would say without a
doubt that he is genuine.

There is not a shred of doubt,

there isn't ulterior
motive or a secret greedy

You know I'm gonna have
my volcano island...like no!

He leads with his heart on
his sleeve in a very honest,

I would say in an
almost overly honest

projection of both
opportunity and risk.

We're all going to die someday.

And if you're going to pick some
place to die, then why not Mars.

2029?
