ELON MUSK ARCHIVAL I'd first like to partake with you my vision for the future. I believe in renewable energy. I believe that humanity must come amulti-planetary space bearing civilization. Those feel like instigative pretensions, do not they?
PANDEY He’s bold in what he does and in how he talks about it — and he’s always giving his elevator pitch.
That speech you just heard wasn't from a board meeting at one of his companies, like Tesla or SpaceX, or in a pitch meeting to rally investors. He said that on Saturday Night Live last time.
He has artistic significance; he’s cited as an alleviation for the ultramodern Iron Man pictures. He disintegrated the marketable space assiduity and the automotive assiduity — contemporaneously. He’s a pivotal employer in theU.S. Across his companies, including SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and Boring, he employs further than,000 people. He’s the world richest man, with an estimated net worth of over$ 250 billion, and he’s the most talked about billionaire.
He has so important plutocrat and power and influence and audacity and whim-whams – that his vision of the future might soon just be known as the future.
In April, Musk’s gradational rise collided with the line of another Silicon Valley success story Twitter.
SPEAKER ON MSNBC The world’s richest joe is set to buy one of the world’s biggest social media companies.
Elon Musk's offer to buy Twitter
PANDEY Twitter was innovated in 2006 and has come the global public forecourt. It also came the platform of choice for Elon Musk, someone who gets involved in effects he cares about. He set his sights on reshaping Twitter and made an offer to buy the platform for an eye- popping$ 44 billion, blazoned in a tweet. But also he repealed.
SPEAKER ON CNN What differently do we know about Musk's reversal then?
SPEAKER ON CNN We know that this is setting up a massive legal battle.
PANDEY A trial between Twitter and Musk looms. It matters because if Musk loses and he’s forced to buy Twitter, he could come the arbitrator of free speech on a social media platform with hundreds of millions of global druggies.
But Twitter’s power is n’t in how numerous druggies it has it’s in how important its druggies are. Heads of state, CEOs, celebrities all use the platform. A lot of power brokering happens on Twitter.
So you can see how, if Musk also controls Twitter, his capability to make world- changing opinions continues to mount.
That’s why it’s important to understand Musk. How did he come this genius billionaire figure? Why does it feel like his influence is necessary?
In this first occasion, you ’ll hear who Musk is in his own words over the times, and through exclusive interviews with people who have been close to him since his foremost gambles.
