    I like how he always says “we” . A real leader
  • Excellent video. We are all striving for financial freedom and a better way of life. It is not difficult to achieve this with wise investing, economical lifestyle, and careful budgeting. I'm pleased I learnt early on to work hard for financial independence.
  • I came here to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused about the current market volatility, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas...

    I feel like every time elon stutters or says um he's thinking of a way to explain something complex to average people.
  • Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
  • How did you fix the torque issue with semi trucks? My understanding is that is why we cannot get across the country with semi trucks not to mention the charging issue. I'm very curious. :)
  • the end of this interview, when he's talking about the Egyptians & romans. how we've forgotten to do things. he sits up in his seat & you can tell how passionate he is about the collective. he wants the highest evolution for society. he cares. what a genius. how lucky we are to have him in our time period.
