• 0:00
  As I first reported last week, Twitter's checkmark system is
• 0:03
  coming back but not only blue, check marks and Elon and Twitter
• 0:08
  released. A blog post on the Twitter
• 0:10
  official blog on the 12th of December.
• 0:13
  This has Twitter blew his back and gold checkmarks are here.
• 0:16
  So this is the first upgrade to the check mark System.
• 0:20
  Since Ilan took down the 8 dollar blue checkmark system and
• 0:24
  now it's been reinstated. So, this is what they say on the
• 0:27
  blog starting today we're enabling Owing, Twitter blue
• 0:30
  sign ups on iOS and web. Twitter, blue subscribers will
• 0:33
  get access to subscriber. Only features such as edit tweet
• 0:36
  1080p video, uploads and reader mode subscribers will also
• 0:42
  receive a blue checkmark after their accounts are reviewed to
• 0:46
  ensure. They meet all of our
• 0:48
  requirements, including our rules against impersonation
• 0:51
  accounts, found to be breaking. Our rules may be suspended
• 0:55
  without a refund so will be rolled out the first blue
• 0:58
  checkmark the verified check mark that Had the pay eight
• 1:00
  dollars for on Twitter after Elon Musk bought the platform.
• 1:04
  It kind of showed that the platform wasn't ready for that
• 1:08
  the people weren't ready for that.
• 1:10
  It was the jump, the gun, they jumped the gun on it, like plain
• 1:13
  and simple. They jump the gun on it.
• 1:15
  They weren't ready to take care of this and some people took
• 1:18
  advantage of that. Some trolls use their eight
• 1:21
  dollars to buy a checkmark and they change their usernames to
• 1:24
  another handle that was similar to another company, you know,
• 1:28
  and then they tank the stock. A little bit.
• 1:30
  They said that Eli Lilly was the manufacturer of the drug
• 1:33
  manufacturer, they said that they were going to be giving
• 1:37
  away insulin for free and the response was super - and their
• 1:41
  stock profile Elon and Twitter made up new rules for this sort
• 1:46
  of occurrence. This is from the Twitter rules
• 1:49
  page because I want to quote this so you can get the full
• 1:51
  perspective of the title is what is a misleading or deceptive
• 1:54
  identity? And it goes on to say what are
• 1:56
  the main elements of an identity on Twitter is an Profile which
• 2:01
  includes a username which is the at handle, the account name, the
• 2:05
  profile image and the bio and accounts identity is deceptive
• 2:09
  under this policy. If it uses false profile
• 2:12
  information to represent itself as a person or entity that is
• 2:16
  not associated with the account owner.
• 2:18
  Such that it may mislead others who use Twitter, deceptive
• 2:23
  identities, May feature, the likeness of another person or
• 2:25
  organization in a manner that confuses others about the That's
• 2:30
  affiliation fake identities, which may use stolen or computer
• 2:34
  generated photos and fabricate. A names to pose as a person or
• 2:37
  organization that doesn't exist. Are also considered deceptive
• 2:41
  when they engage in disruptive or manipulative behavior.
• 2:45
  And what do you sign up for Twitter blue?
• 2:47
  There are going to be some stipulations for your account.
• 2:49
  I use sign up for eight dollars on the web or $11 per month,
• 2:54
  when you sign up through iOS subscribers, who sign up on one
• 2:57
  platform will have Twitter blue on All the platforms.
• 3:00
  So prices may vary due to your region and they plan to offer
• 3:05
  subscriptions on Android eventually.
• 3:07
  As well it's available right now in Canada, United States
• 3:10
  Australia, New Zealand and the UK and they're going to be
• 3:14
  rolling out to other territories in the future.
• 3:17
  Now there's a few things that you have to think about when you
• 3:20
  think about the Twitter blue thing in addition to reviewing
• 3:23
  all accounts at the sign up Twitter is going to be taking a
• 3:27
  bunch of steps to detect and prevent.
• 3:29
  Impersonation subscribers who change their profile
• 3:32
  information, including their display name, their profile
• 3:36
  photo, and the username or handle will temporarily lose
• 3:40
  their blue checkmark. Until those changes are reviewed
• 3:44
  by Twitter and Ilan. Kind of /.
• 3:47
  The company in half fired, half the people, some other people
• 3:51
  walked out and they they left the company.
• 3:54
  So they're short-staffed at this point.
• 3:56
  They have to check out all these accounts review, all the It's
• 4:00
  real on also said, hey, if you're here at Twitter you have
• 4:02
  to step up your game. So you have to work the long
• 4:05
  hours like a start-up. They have to verify your
• 4:08
  account. Ilan also said accounts created
• 4:11
  within the last 90 days, inactive accounts accounts
• 4:14
  without a verified phone number and accounts with recent changes
• 4:17
  to the profile, information will not be able to subscribe to
• 4:20
  Twitter blew at this time. And have you ever wanted a
• 4:23
  golden check mark next to your profile while you can get one
• 4:28
  according to Twitter? They're replacing the official
• 4:31
  label with a gold check mark on some business accounts on
• 4:35
  Twitter. There will be also adding a
• 4:37
  great check mark for government and multilateral accounts.
• 4:41
  Now let's get into these new check marks because they seem
• 4:43
  pretty cool. First, let's go over what the
• 4:45
  blue check mark is because this is the this is a basic check
• 4:48
  mark, right? This is what you and I can sign
• 4:50
  up for anybody can sign up for this one we can send it for a
• 4:53
  blue checkmark. You just have to have your eight
• 4:55
  dollars or $11 and also a verified good account.
• 4:59
  So Blue checkmark, according to Twitter says May mean different
• 5:03
  things. Either then an account was
• 5:05
  verified under Twitter's previous verification criteria,
• 5:08
  which is active notable, and authentic or that the account
• 5:12
  has an active subscription to Twitter's new blue subscription
• 5:15
  product is available on iOS and on the web accounts, the
• 5:18
  received the blue check mark as part of the Twitter, blue
• 5:20
  subscription will not undergo review to confirm that, they
• 5:23
  meet the active notable and authentic criteria.
• 5:26
  That was used in the previous process.
• 5:28
  So that kind of It's sort of double speaking.
• 5:31
  This is from Twitter themselves because they said, Hey, in there
• 5:34
  authentication process. They're going to have to, I
• 5:37
  authenticate all of these Twitter blue accounts, right?
• 5:39
  The new subscriptions. So in this Twitter blue Chopper,
• 5:42
  this is a directly from the profile.
• 5:44
  Labels, Twitter account on twitter.com.
• 5:47
  Okay, so the gold checkmark now this is the new one.
• 5:50
  This is the cool one. This is the bling check mark
• 5:52
  gold check. Mark indicates that the account
• 5:54
  is an official business account through Twitter, blue for
• 5:58
  business. Pretty And they go on to say,
• 6:00
  the official labels official, profile label is applied to
• 6:04
  government accounts. Institutional accounts, elected,
• 6:07
  or appointed officials, and multilateral organizations
• 6:10
  certain political organizations such as political parties,
• 6:13
  commercial companies, including business partners, Major Brands
• 6:17
  media, outlets and Publishers and some other public figures in
• 6:22
  the Identify, some of the labels.
• 6:24
  As state-affiliated media, in government accounts, to play a
• 6:27
  role is a geopolitical or official.
• 6:29
  And Communication channel display a unique label that
• 6:32
  here. We get into the state-affiliated
• 6:34
  media labels and the government labels, state-affiliated
• 6:38
  profiles, provide additional context about accounts that are
• 6:41
  controlled by certain state-affiliated media entities
• 6:45
  and individuals closely associated with these entities
• 6:48
  government. Labels, apply to accounts,
• 6:51
  heavily engage in geopolitics and diplomacy from main
• 6:55
  countries where Twitter operates the labels also contain
• 6:59
  information, About the country. The account is affiliated with,
• 7:02
  and whether it is operated by a government representative or a
• 7:05
  state-affiliated, media entity. Additionally, a small icon or
• 7:09
  flag is included to Signal the account status as a government
• 7:12
  account or of a Podium for state-affiliated, media and
• 7:16
  candidate labels. This is a little bit different.
• 7:18
  They contain additional information about Twitter krauts
• 7:21
  for official national level, political candidates for some
• 7:24
  elections. The label appears on the profile
• 7:26
  of the candidates Twitter account and on the tweets sent
• 7:29
  in Retweeted by the candidates account, labels contain
• 7:32
  information about the office. The candidate is running for the
• 7:35
  State. The office is located in and the
• 7:37
  district number. And now we have automated
• 7:41
  account levels. And now we have automated
• 7:43
  account labels for Bots, what'd account displays the automated
• 7:47
  account label, you know, the account is generated, automated
• 7:50
  content, not produced by a human and I would have put a little
• 7:53
  bit of perspective on this because before you head to be a
• 7:56
  notable person to have any sort of these Both.
• 8:00
  So in order to have a blue checkmark, you had to be a
• 8:02
  personality, you had to be on TV or you had to have a popular
• 8:06
  podcast or a very popular YouTube channel or something
• 8:09
  like that. Now anybody can buy a check mark
• 8:12
  you could buy the 8 dollar or eleven dollar check mark and you
• 8:16
  could be person that's verified. Now it's not going to hold the
• 8:19
  same way that it used to. Now this shows that Twitter is
• 8:23
  headed in a New Direction and the direction is that everybody
• 8:26
  does verified on Twitter is a real person.
• 8:29
  And I think I think this is a bigger picture move by Elon and
• 8:33
  the Twitter staff to show that they have users, that are actual
• 8:38
  people to advertisers for the future.
• 8:40
  And in the eyes of an Advertiser, real people that are
• 8:44
  dedicated to the platform and that are active on the platform
• 8:47
  and use the platform are way more valuable to advertise to
• 8:52
  than somebody who's a bot or somebody that has.
• 8:55
  It automated account. Also, it brings in a revenue
• 8:58
  stream for Twitter while they're setting up.
• 8:59
  New company and in the future Ilan and Twitter will be setting
• 9:03
  up new revenue streams for the platform.
• 9:05
  One of them will be streaming video and with the Twitter blue
• 9:08
  checkmark you'll be able to upload 1080p video.
• 9:12
  Now this is not that great compared to something say like
• 9:15
  YouTube which is a dedicated video platform where you can go
• 9:18
  up to 4 K 6K in the future eventually we'll get up to 8K
• 9:25
  video but right now Twitter is at 1080p The video, which isn't
• 9:31
  too bad. Like most people watch YouTube
• 9:34
  on 1080P and that's fine. But I would assume Twitter would
• 9:38
  kind of bump it up a little bit. If they want to compete with the
• 9:41
  other video platforms out there and attract video professionals
• 9:45
  from YouTube to start posting their videos on Twitter because
• 9:49
  some of them really enjoy uploading their videos in 4k, in
• 9:53
  the quality of the video, really does matter if you're watching
• 9:57
  on a bigger screen compared to something like, On your phone.
• 10:00
  But a 1080p video on your phone doesn't look that bad compared
• 10:04
  to a 4K, even a 720p video on your phone though.
• 10:08
  You can tell it's different than a 1080p video 720p video on your
• 10:12
  phone. Compared to see a 720p video on
• 10:15
  your TV is much different. The pixel density on a phone is
• 10:21
  much much greater than on a TV. So a 1080p video looks much
• 10:27
  crisper on a phone than it does. Is on a computer screen or even
• 10:31
  a tablet. The show is brought to you by
• 10:33
  backblaze. I use back place to back up my
• 10:35
  podcast. My video files, all of my
• 10:38
  writing stuff, and all my photos.
• 10:40

• 10:56

• 11:00
  favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
• 11:01
  hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
• 11:05
  to your door. I could come to your business to
• 11:07
  and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
• 11:10
  hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
• 11:14

• 11:17
  hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
• 11:20
  it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files
• 11:23

  It is really easy to use, so go to back.
• 12:34
  Plays.com /l on backblaze.com, Ilan, backblaze.com, Ilan so you
• 12:43
  can see why the only one with 1080P and also uploads of 1080P
• 12:47
  and most Twitter users on a mobile platform, like a phone
• 12:50
  like an iOS or on an Android device that reduces the
• 12:55
  bandwidth that Twitter has to use and Twitter has to pay for
• 12:59
  bandwidth that You have coming into their platform also going
• 13:01
  out of their platform. So if they restrict it to 1080p,
• 13:04
  they're not going to be spending the money generating 4K,
• 13:08
  streamable content and Twitter might not even have the hardware
• 13:12
  installed to generate 4K content on the platform.
• 13:15
  So this could be a cost saving device.
• 13:18
  People are going to be spending the eight to eleven dollars on a
• 13:21
  subscription that should offset the cost of them uploading video
• 13:25
  and also watching 1080p video on the platform there will be other
• 13:29
  ways. As for Twitter to monetize the
• 13:31
  platform in the future whether it's through video or audio,
• 13:34
  they're talking about bringing podcasting to Twitter and of
• 13:37
  course with podcasting and video you have advertisements and
• 13:41
  YouTube gives you a 70/30 split where the Creator gets 70% of
• 13:45
  the ad revenue and the platform gets 30% of the ad Revenue.
• 13:49
  So Twitter do something like that.
• 13:51
  Twitch does a 50/50 split which isn't in favor of the creators.
• 13:56
  So a lot of creators are moving from twitch to YouTube, because
• 13:58
  they can see the He coming in. So if Twitter can work in those
• 14:02
  kind of boundaries, between 70 and 65 ish, if they offer 80% to
• 14:09
  move your channel from YouTube to Twitter, I think some people
• 14:13
  would actually move over to Twitter.
• 14:15
  I think there would be some people.
• 14:17
  The revenue split was 80/20 creators getting 80% and the
• 14:21
  platform, getting 20%, there's a possibility that some of the
• 14:24
  bigger names would move over to Twitter and maybe they're going
• 14:28
  to give them a creator. Deal.
• 14:30
  You know, maybe they're going to sponsor them for the first-year,
• 14:32
  give them x amount of dollars hundred thousand dollars to post
• 14:35
  in the platform for a year, so they can grow the user base.
• 14:38
  This would also bring in more advertising Revenue because more
• 14:42
  people would be seeing videos for a longer amount of time.
• 14:45
  And that's why you see advertisers spending more on
• 14:48
  podcasting than they would on a YouTube video.
• 14:51
  YouTube videos are relatively inexpensive because if you have
• 14:55
  an eight minute video, you only have eight minutes to show
• 14:58
  people ads or For people to listen to your ad.
• 15:01
  Now, podcast, on the other hand, if you have the audience's
• 15:04
  attention for say, three hours for a nice long podcast, you
• 15:09
  have numerous times to advertise to them and with any sort of
• 15:12
  platform, they're going to generate Revenue because there
• 15:15
  will be more people listening and watching on the platform.
• 15:20
  So they can go after those high-value advertisers like
• 15:24
  apple and Microsoft and the automobile companies to give
• 15:28
  them the money. Me to bring these people over
• 15:31
  and to post their podcasts and their video on Twitter, making
• 15:35
  them multiple Millions hundreds of millions of dollars in the
• 15:38
  process and what are the cost cutting measures that he landed
• 15:42
  in gut in the company literally physically gutted, the corporate
• 15:47
  office. And now there's a surplus of
• 15:50
  assets from Twitter that are up for auction Heritage.
• 15:55
  Global Partners are auctioning off some of Twitter's Internal
• 16:00
  things. There's a Twitter blue statue.
• 16:03
  Now let's see what this has the opening bid is. $25 USD, overall
• 16:07
  dimensions, 46 inches wide 41 inches tall, 12 inches deep,
• 16:13
  okay? So that's bad deal.
• 16:15
  That's about four feet wide about 4 feet tall.
• 16:18
  It's pretty big, it's a piece of History.
• 16:20
  They have some molded plywood lounge chairs that were there in
• 16:24
  the office that the workers use to build Twitter.
• 16:27
  There's other espresso machines as well.
• 16:29
  Large, espresso machines, professional espresso machines,
• 16:33
  that will be going for thousands of dollars in these auctions
• 16:36
  maybe tens of thousand dollars. I'm not sure how much they cost
• 16:38
  coffee grinders flywheels slicer.
• 16:41
  There's things that people used in the cafes in Twitter
• 16:45
  full-size, Combi ovens. There's ovens for sale electric
• 16:49
  ovens for sale. There's pizza ovens for sale
• 16:52
  rotisserie is for sale that they had at the Twitter headquarters.
• 16:56
  And this is sort of a, it's an ongoing thing.
• 16:59
  In Tech because they want you to stay in the office, if you can
• 17:03
  have a good meal in the office, you're more than happy to go to
• 17:07
  the office cafeteria and then eat your meal.
• 17:11
  Take care of your dishes, sit around a chit chat for a few
• 17:13
  minutes. It's all kind of a college
• 17:16
  campus. They set it up like college
• 17:17
  campuses because basically, every one that used to work at
• 17:20
  startups are pretty young. And now, everyone's kind of
• 17:24
  getting into this mindset that this college campus thing.
• 17:27
  Well, it's not that, it's not all, it's cracked.
• 17:29
  Up to be but when Twitter was building out thousands of
• 17:33
  employees their friends and family, come through people,
• 17:36
  come through with meetings, you have to hop now be after
• 17:38
  schmooze, you need great food for that but also the workers
• 17:42
  that are there. You want them produce as much
• 17:45
  content as possible as much code as possible.
• 17:47
  You want them to be nearby because if anything needs to be
• 17:51
  done, they can just pick up their phone, they get a an
• 17:54
  announcement and they say, okay well, we can just put our dishes
• 17:56
  down, we can put our food down, will bring it back to our desk.
• 17:59
  And then we'll get the work done.
• 18:01
  They don't really have to have to go away or stray away from
• 18:05
  anything Twitter related in. This is a crazy thing, they have
• 18:09
  displays 55-inch, ergotron, Neo Flex vhd, Mobile Media Center
• 18:14
  displays, there's no mercy of these things all through out
• 18:18
  here. There's probably 20 of these
• 18:20
  things, 60-inch, 60-inch LED TVs, tons of these things.
• 18:25
  And I'm sure these are going to be going up in the box.
• 18:28
  They're going to be going up for auction.
• 18:29
  For thousands of dollars. Eventually, there's an ergotron
• 18:32
  Work Fit, dual workstation in a box.
• 18:35
  There's all sorts of things on the Twitter Auction Block right
• 18:38
  now that you would never feel like it was the appropriate
• 18:42
  thing to have in an office. Normally you go to an office,
• 18:46
  you get your work done in. It's great, right?
• 18:48
  You get, you do your thing, you get there, but in the Twitter
• 18:51
  offices, Google 5 55 inch Jam board.
• 18:54
  Whiteboard display starts at $50 opening bid, it will go for

  thousands of dollars. The These are expensive and
• 19:00
  opening bids bids. Open January, 17th of 2023.
• 19:05
  I'm going to leave a link to this in the description.
• 19:08
  So please take a second and look through all of these yourself
• 19:11
  because there's a lot of tech here.
• 19:14
  I haven't really seen any computers.
• 19:15
  It's more things like office equipment and also, you know,
• 19:20
  things like there's a Kegerator for sale in a mixer of planetary
• 19:24
  floor mixer with accessories. The think is huge.
• 19:27
  It is, let's see how big this thing is a ship.
• 19:29
  Thing is ship hgp does not ship buyers are responsible for their
• 19:32
  own shipping arrangements, so you can't even get this thing
• 19:35
  shipped to you as a 40. Quart capacity Bowl dough hook,
• 19:38
  pastry beater, wire whip sixes. In the sixth floor, kitchen,
• 19:43
  sixth floors, for Twitter, six, floors for Twitter and if you
• 19:47
  think about it, what do you do on Twitter?
• 19:48
  Your Tweet back and forth and there's a bunch of people that
• 19:51
  Tweet back and forth. And then you kind of think why
• 19:53
  do we need six floors? But the thing, the thing is
• 19:58
  massive, Twitter is a Of building and they have the
• 20:00
  they've had the building for years.
• 20:02
  They built up the interior of this building and they're going
• 20:05
  to, they're going to be downsizing everything in
• 20:08
  possibly Ilan. Has hinted at this at a few
• 20:11
  occasions. That there's a possibility that
• 20:13
  they're going to kind of have the offices at the bottom floors
• 20:18
  and then have living arrangements on the top floors
• 20:20
  Elance that they're already putting in beds and new
• 20:23
  bathrooms and things like that. And the the code enforcers in
• 20:27
  San Francisco kind of got on their case about it.
• 20:29
  It about the beds that they were installing in the Twitter
• 20:32
  headquarters. So eventually, I think what
• 20:34
  they're going to be doing is using the bottom floors for the
• 20:38
  office work and then you can just live upstairs, live above
• 20:41
  the office. How easy is that?
• 20:43
  And you don't need all of these cafeterias, you don't need all
• 20:46
  this equipment. But also, you know what that
• 20:48
  means that people that were making the food for these
• 20:51
  people. The people that were working
• 20:53
  hard behind the scenes to keep these people fed to give them
• 20:56
  drinks. All those people are out of
• 20:58
  jobs, but if you had a Job at Twitter for you know, two,
• 21:01
  three, four years. It's going to be pretty easy to
• 21:04
  pick up another job but a Twitter job is pretty cushy at
• 21:07
  this point. You know?
• 21:08
  I do and I know it's hard work. I'm a coder myself.
• 21:10
  So I understand how hard the work is when you're coding, but
• 21:14
  it is a kind of cushy environment.
• 21:16
  If you have a cafe or two or three, or four in the food is
• 21:20
  delicious. I used to work at a start-up and
• 21:23
  I know the, the employees were treated very well.
• 21:27
  We had cafes, we had to cafes Is to organic cafes and a latte
• 21:32
  machine and all sorts of fun things, like that, basketball
• 21:35
  half a basketball court. We had actually three
• 21:38
  professional ping-pong tables and an inside track.
• 21:41
  All sorts of fun things that you can play around with, but also
• 21:43
  the food was there and we had a little cafeteria.
• 21:46
  It was a really cushy fun job and I don't think that's going
• 21:50
  to be happening anymore. I think there are going to be
• 21:52
  some places that are going to stick to that.
• 21:53
  Like Google has a really creative headquarters.
• 21:56
  Apple is very similar, but I don't think the idea Of startup
• 22:00
  culture with ping pong, tables and foosball in those.
• 22:03
  Kind of things are really going to catch on anymore.
• 22:06
  I think people want the real benefits, which are money and
• 22:09
  retirement, plans, and things like that, you know, like all
• 22:13
  the extra stuff, that's great. All the perks are great, but I
• 22:16
  don't know, I think it's, I think it's shifting, I really do
• 22:19
  and I think Elon is right. He's ahead of everybody with
• 22:22
  this because he's moving all of this equipment and downsizing
• 22:26
  everything because he sees that hey this is work, you don't Need
• 22:29
  to come here and play all the time.
• 22:31
  You don't need to come here and eat.
• 22:32
  Eat gourmet meals at work every day at the office.
• 22:37
  So downsizing, everybody downsizing everything and just
• 22:39
  going to work, seems like that's going to be the the paradigm
• 22:43
  shift for not only Twitter, but I think there are going to be
• 22:46
  some other tech companies that follow Twitter's lead as well.
• 22:50
  With all of this Twitter talk recently, some of elon's other
• 22:54
  companies have been feeling the effects of the way that he's
• 22:57
  been portraying himself on. Twitter.
• 23:00
  I reported that something like Twitter.
• 23:02
  If Ilan kind of goes off, the handle goes a little bit, wonky
• 23:06
  starts tweeting, like mad start saying things and letting people
• 23:10
  back in the platform that somehow this could spill over
• 23:14
  into some of his other companies like Tesla SpaceX, boring
• 23:18
  company, neural link, and on Monday Elon was dethroned as the
• 23:23
  richest person in the world. The title is now held by lvmh
• 23:28
  chairman and CEO Bernard arnault at the close of Monday.
• 23:34
  According to Forbes and Tesla Shares are down to their about
• 23:38
  six point three to six point seven percent down and have more
• 23:43
  than halved in value. This year, partially due to a
• 23:46
  sell-off. That accelerated in the week of
• 23:50
  musk's forty four billion dollar Twitter acquisition.
• 23:53
  So musk wealth is mainly tied up in Tesla and it was propelled by
• 23:59
  This rise in the stock price which was about a thousand
• 24:04
  percent up and two years in our know, he has holding vehicles
• 24:09
  and Family Trust and he owns a little over. 60% of lvmh has
• 24:14
  voting share class and Arno is worth one hundred eighty six
• 24:18
  point two billion dollars musk. On the other hand owns 14, .11
• 24:24
  percent of Tesla's shares with a market value of 80 billion
• 24:30
  dollars. He also owns more than 40% of
• 24:32
  SpaceX shares and that's billions to his net worth based
• 24:37
  at 125 billion dollar private Market valuation from June of
• 24:41
  this year. In a down year for stocks lvmh
• 24:45
  have dropped about a 1.5 percent in 2020 to so lvmh is based in
• 24:50
  Paris and is listed on the euronext Paris exchange.
• 24:54
  So there could be some slight bumps and a little bit of
• 24:57
  bruising going on for Ilan. But this has happened to him.
• 25:00
  Before he gets dethroned, he comes back.
• 25:03
  The valuation of Tesla goes down.
• 25:05
  It comes back up and you will see when this wild ride is all
• 25:09
  over. If Elon is the most rich person
• 25:13
  in the world again. And also, I want to tell you
