  • Investing is considered a bedrock in making generational wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas. Meaningful contributions are always welcomed.

    Elon Musk will be remembered for thousands of years
  • @TheDestruct0r
    I love his seeming awkwardness, it makes him seem real. I'm sick of all the over rehearsed, marketing department written, corporate propaganda most company execs spew out. You can actually hear the genuine almost childlike excitement in his words when he talks about the things he is passionate about.
  • @awake-dust4525
    the host was really welcoming and did a great job. Someone has to say it.
  • I think elon musk will be one of the most important historical figures in regard to human advancement. It's amazing to be alive at the same time as him.
  • The clarity of Elon's mind, the economic validity of his approach along with the depth of his technical acumen have combined to make a man of the century. We should all be grateful.
  • I have great respect for Elon. I have watched most of his you tube videos. The stories are the same, it amazes me that I still listen to them.
  • @rorykeegan1895
    The consistency of vision from Musk is extraordinary ....
  • @ricois3
    This guy deserves a Nobel Price.
  • @user-zz4fy5oe2p
    Crazy how many things he talked about here he has accomplished.
  • @chriscon22
    He's stated a number of times he's much more comfortable designing and crunching number than talking to the public, but his product doesn't sell itself unfortunately so he often takes on the role as spokesperson. I'm glad he does, he might not be the best public speaker but listening to his ideas inspires me.
  • @carloschau9310
    Thanks Martin School for putting up this important, quality and inspiring lecture
  • @photogol
    What a great event. It is hard to understand why so many people hate Elon Musk. The only explanation I can find is that they may be driven by selfish conflicting interests against change.
  • Great discussion and quite amazing how Elon can switch from one subject to another a moment of brilliance indeed.
  • @rioisaduck
    Truly inspirational and intelligent guy - can't wait to follow his companies and buy his products over the next few decades atleast.
  • @manohargupta
    Whatever he said at that time, he ended up achieving most of them. Huge respect for doge Father.
  • A tremendous amount of love for him from all over the world and much respected
