Mighty Bro:
Elon Musk - "The best way to predict the future is to invent it"
THCA:
He's the weirdest mixture of intellect and common sense observation.
j Krum:
“Government should get out of the way “
Aaron Turner:
The more I listen to Elon Musk, the more impressed I am.
Sekurei:
love how the interview ended as soon as he mentioned how social media and the news is corrupt
James Russo:
“What is money? Money is an entry to a database.”
-Musk

Suryansh Srivastava:
Elon is wearing Everyday Astronaut's Shirt.
The Lonewolf:
Elon called Bill Gates a knuckle head on a recent NPR interview, that’s all I need to know to reaffirm my opinion on Bill Gates...
Dixit Jain:
Meanwhile in interviews in India:
How do you stay so active?
What mangoes do you eat?
Whats in your purse?
The only One:
Elon: how can we make things better?
Customer: you can start by answering the phone.
Eric Rawson:
2:20 "A lot of the time, the best thing the government can do is just get out of the way." Amen to that.
AstroForum:
21:38 "What is money, money is an entry in a database" - says Elon Musk to the Wall Street Journal, LOL :-).
Julia R:
He's such a down-to-earth man and yet they bother him with all the "how to earn money" and "philsophy and recipee for success" nonsense
Potato Face:
25:57 "We need to be concerned with *mind viruses* , memes that travel very quickly through social media, that may or may not be correct" -also Elon
Dingfelder Smurfalot:
Why are people always out of time? I'd be happy to hear Elon talk some more.

“If something is important enough, even if the odds are stacked against you, you should still do it.”

Enrique Cubillo:
"The entire transportation infrastructure.." neither mention human powered mobility. Why? Millions can access 1-6 mile commutes with human power 70% of the year.
Karate Fight Fitness Drills:
Tesla will leave California thanks to their representatives and high end taxes. Tesla will go to Texas, Arizona and more on Nevada.
Randall Taylor:
Brilliant conversation- love that Elon is so grounded with reality of the People and effects of reality !!!! Amazing Man 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Zaeem Siddiqui:
"Nobody bleeds for the prince in the palace"... That was a good line..
John Trustworthy:
>Why He Left Silicon Valley
The correct question is why he didn't leave earlier.
Systems Integrator:
What does Elon Musk says: I need more space!
J S:
Amazing that he only has 26 minutes and 47 seconds for the interview. Runs out of time just in time.
boludoconcamara:
hahaha soon as the topic of censorship comes up; "mhm sorry we're out of time"
David Ryan:
"what is money, money is an entry in a database"
Jean Roch:
I agree with Musk : too many MBA's. An exec who isn't trained in anything related to the products of his employer is just a waste of good office space and coffee.
Oliver:
"if you haven't try hard, try hard"
Elon Musk 2020
ElectronicJunky:
I love how Elon owned this interview! When asked about talking with those farther down the ladder, the interviewer said , should you talk to them, they might feel there intelligence is being compromised. Elon had a total I'm in this with you, we are doing this together, I will charge the field with you. He totally flipped the negative question into one of empowerment and teamwork. To me that speaks volumes.
Sultanali Ashiraliev:
"Generals on the front lines with his troops "- Perfect answer for reporter saying is it you can't delegate tasks.
dorothy ellen:
I don't know who need to hear this, you've got to stop saving money. Invest some part of it if you really want financial freedom
Guitar Player:
"Money is an entry in a database"
Amoroso Gombe:
He hits the nail on the head. The MBIsation of enterprise, even the MBIsation of Venture Capital, is a big minus to innovation.
Question Everything — Thought Provoking Ideas:
“Good ideas are always crazy until they’re not.”
― Elon Musk
Brian Stanton:
This man inspires me. The more I learn about him the more I believe it's possible for one person to make a difference in the world.
HatKidSoldTheirSoul:
This elon musk guy looks super cool. He should start selling cars!
o lee:

Salena Aragon:
Watching from Valencia Elementary Mrs. Aragon's 5th Grade Class!
Vikram Pinto:
Elon's ability to cut to the heart of the matter is unparalleled
James Higgins:
"Incentivize the outcome, not the path"
yo yo:
yea where's our new chocolate bars, i demand we look into this!
Evolve:
“Money is simply an entry into a database” -Elon Musk. Never a more true statement, and at the same time more reality shattering statement.
CryptoX:
I love how elon can say just enough to let everyone know that cali is just not good for big business anymore
Saurabh Rana:
2:20 "A lot of times the best thing a government can do it just get out of the way"
Eric Dreizen:
Maybe as soon as they recall that communist Gavin Newsom, he'll come back!
Soren Teeple:
“Government is the ultimate corporation”
Federico Kotek:
my boy elon preaching about customer experience, product/service design <3
Dee Bee:
This is the guy we should be listening to and not virtue signaling politicians, mainstream media like CNN's Don Lemon, MBA ers and Hollywood actors and actresses including Lady Gaga.
john dumbleton:
We understand elon is smart he is rich and he try more than anyone should ever have to he reminds me of my bro and I personally
Impersonally. I Don't know
morninboy:
Making things better can often be a result of bottom up innovation.
Alejandro Rodriguez:
“Government is the ultimate corporation with a monopoly”. Spot on Musk.
Jordan Adkins:
@5:45 "Government is the ultimate corportation with a monopoly." Amen! Yes people control the government, but when government can do whatever they want, they control influence beyond imaginable.
The Dude:
Not all hero's wear capes.
Sometimes they wear bandanas.
Calvin Mathew:
I was about how plain his background and clothing was

Amazing answers. Bad interviewer - he is part of the problem and doesn't get it!

James Peters:
Innovation is definitely learnable! The guy from WSJ does have the background on innovation to interview Elon, a great innovator of our time.
William Goode:
9:30
Never heard him say "my companies" before
Dallas Carney:
I absolutely hate the way people interview like this. They don’t talk with them, they just ask debatable questions and hope they uncover something that may be of some use to them. They use a script and don’t engage until they get to ask their next question. This is why I don’t like the news these days
88 8:
22:27 Surprised glee. Great reaction.
Leo Medina:
Moving to Texas....
Everyone:
Elon Musk: *wears bandanas*

Zayn Cutupill:
Bro there with a whole bandana talking bout how he's making the human kind evolve.
Nhaa man i need this man life 😂
chula chalupa:
"M.B.A.-ization" Thank you, Elon Musk. Much more succinct and descriptive than "all-important bottom line."
DAMIEN LEWIS:
There is definitely too much government in California, they want to be the player on the field, the referee and spend the money they collect from people and businesses on wrong irrelevant things. Franchise Tax Board acts like a racketeering gang. California is definitely taking things for granted! Very sad government.
DhowTo:
Thanks for doing this interview. It was insightful.
Marutan Ray:
Wow! Elon Musk invented innovation. This man is just awesome.
Cate true eleven:
I’m stoked to hear Elon thinking in such good philosophical thoughts- phew -

KARL KOOKS:
I absolutely love Elon Musk interviews
Neostorm:
He is correct, the bigger companies do not need government bailouts. They are supposidely the cream of the crop on the Monopoly.
Joshua Downing:
Watching this just made me love podcasts even more! Btw he couldn't have gone for more than an hour.
Rochelle Fernandes:
LOVE Musk’s candy analogy around min 5. He nailed it with that answer. My “like” is for his responses to the dumb and ludicrous questions this interviewer is asking. Channel: how do you recruit such interviewers??!! Gees!
FishyClan Member:
If I had a dollar for every “uh”, “um” and (stutter) I would be rich
Think Lascivious:
Take a shot every time he says, "Like." 🥃
Zanar Aesthetics:
Wow he wasn't stuttering as much, his social skills continue to improve, he's so freakin good at learning everything. Elon is a genius and a legend, 1 of the greatest minds of our time
June Aster:
elon talks like he thinks he has buck teeth or a squirrel mouth... JS c:

GrumpyOldMan:
He forgot to mention the educational responsibility of the state, the biggest of them all.
Anna Vianna:
Just by listening to his voice I already feel calm...😊
Henrika Dewell:
May i suggest one of my favourite CEOs to install a nicer audio set in his office? thanks very much.
