The Atlantic Meets the Pacific: Exploring the Mind of an Entrepreneur - Elon Musk & James Fallows 

What i love about Musk is that he is really 'present' in every interview. Most of his interviewers ask the same questions, which are their first time. But Musk always engages and responds as though its his first time too. Never a mechanical answer. Lesson: Respect people and be present if you want to be a great leader

The actual interviewer starts the introductory talk at @10:00 however the conversation starts @12:36. Great opportunity to hear Musk talk thanks for sharing.

43:30 you wouldn't make a rocket out of steel. Starship is constructed with steel now.

lol at the guy who told his biography before asking what to do on Mars.

i love this interviewer, super smart, super humble, super interested and great questions

I love the audacity of self-important introductions paired with crappy chairs. Definitely has an academic feel.

The people who are not working with us will not make it easy for Musk, we need to get our government back so that we can move forward with Musk. He has said that he will be here for us.

Anyone spot Elons' comment; "steel would not be the the first choice for a rocket" and yet stainless steel is exactly what starship has ended up being made from! This seems to confirm to me just what an incredibly serendipitous moment it was that Spacex came up with the realisation that stainless would overall be a far more practical choice than the materials conventionally being used for rocketry. There is no way that spacex could have built so fast and so cheaply with carbon fibre or aluminium, or expected to return the orbital ship without having to address some very difficult problems relating to heating up upon re-entry. It's very interesting to look back and see how things have evolved since when this video was made and realise that though Elon was evedintly a very far sighted individual even back then he didn't know it all. It helps to convince me that the Musk Phenonemon is not just one great big con! Starship has yet to get to orbit and return of course, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

43:22 "Steel would also not be the first choice for a rocket" :D

Elon is a bona fide genius! Cheers.

I agree 100%- the media- news seems to focus on more neg or fear based subjects than positives. Not very cheerful or psychologically healthy.

10:00 welcome

Great video! Amazing interview!

44:00 ...Never go full douche

Thanks yaar !!

43:35 while steel was not the first choice it definitely was the the best choice

Thank you,Elon..you are fabulous 😍You renewed my hope in mankind and in myself 💌

That was a very interesting fact about the development of the Tesla drive train and also a good point he was making about the benefits from working hard and smart on difficult problems , sometimes you end up better off then you expect , can't remember if it is here Elon said you can learn more from failure than success , as for the hipster douche bag comment , i couldn't agree more but i'm glad that tool spoke up , gave us a chance to see the quick wit of Elon "Mars is a fixer uppera",classic.

Elon: It's difficult to run two companies at the same time. Also Elon: Goes on to start The Boring Co., Neuralink and then buys Twitter on top of everything.

Thank you. Blessings...

Thank you so much Elon

Hello good morning or good evening everyone keepsafe GOD bless you too all of you especially boss Elon musk 👍👍❤️❤️❤️

First- bravo 👏 Elon Musk 👏 Gifted genius - thinks outside of the box & positive intentions for the present & future for the human race. 2nd- curious question 🤔 💭.... Curious in ref to selling all ones things & moving to Mars..... once the humans reach Mars .... will they have a Mars home 🏡 or space- dwelling to reside? Or will humans also need to also bring extra money- to Mars with them in order to purchase a home 🏡 or dwelling space & money 💰 to start a business or seek a job already available on Mars? Curious 🤔 💭?

Besides the Audio Engineer couldn't EQ the microphones to save his life (I do AV work for a living) , that was a very great talk!

inspiring

Wow ❤2x2 = 22

23:37 “I’m sort of moderate - sort of 1/2 Republican, 1/2 Democrat if you will. I’m somewhere in the middle. I guess I’m socially liberal and fiscally conservative - which I think a lot of the country is, actually.”

Elon begins around 10:20

Absolutely fine It is ought to fail and it usually does. Some people are so hungry, so thirsty, for appreciation that they will swallow anything, just as a serving man will eat grass and fisheries. ❤

42:46

Ceo, I should love him

I don't even need imf but the US vis enough

It was question time not comment time

MUSK at 12:32

44:00 This guy telling his life story is actually Austen Heinz. He died by suicide in 2015 from his start up company performing poorly.

God damn you people! Do you really have to keep eating while Elon's speaking? Isn't it exciting enough?

48:35 :)

South AFRICAN

Argentina ako, chaira lubich

49:00. The guy admit leaking company secret to a competitor.

lol I know! :P

Moderate - some things Right, some things Left. Socially liberal, fiscally conservative (Libertarian).

@Hey, Good Mornoonevenight And those natives originated in Asia. Elon clearly has no such mindset and has never showed any signs of such an attitude (they even point out that they left south africa partly because of how bad the aparteid was). The fact that you pick up on that very trivial comment in order to make a completely unrelated point says a lot more about your own mindset than his.

The sexy atlantean Pleiadeans meet Earth humans for the great awakening greatest show through out the cosmos. Stay intelligent never smart. Love you.

You are my daddy about technology

Polska polecam naszą Historię.

Okay lang boss chat me Kasi complicated and relationship natin boss Diba Alam mo yon 💔💔😭😭

"...there would not be a US..." & "...my ancestor homeland in the US". The Natives lives in this land & his ancestor originated in Europe. Based on this talk & him growing up in S. Africa, Elon has a typical colonialism mindset that white race has god given right to possess all resources in this universe.

Yeah...lmao I would have cut his microphone off.

🙂👼

Paypal mean the deserve wisest daddy

All of these introductions at academic-ish conferences need to stop. :-) It gets silly.
