#322 - Elon Musk: The First Trillionaire—Are We Living in His Simulation? · Brandon Fogal Evolution

• 0:00
  Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. Can you believe it? I cannot believe that.
• 0:05
  I never thought I would see the day, but he is now a trillionaire.
• 0:08
  If there's anyone that would think that they're in a simulation,
• 0:11
  it would have to be Elon Musk. I mean, what about you?
• 0:16
  I think that simulation theory, if I wasn't a Christian, if I wasn't a Christian,
• 0:20
  but I mean, even Christianity, it kind of is like a simulation.
• 0:24
  I mean, we're not in the real world yet. We'll be in the real world when we're
• 0:29
  with God. So that's kind of like, kind of like a simulation.
• 0:31
  That's why it feels like that. It feels like that.
• 0:34
  But for this guy, for this dude, Elon Musk, he seems like just like a person
• 0:40
  that was like made up, just created. I guess he was created,
• 0:44
  but like, he feels like Iron Man, Tony Starks.
• 0:49
  He's now worth a trillion dollars all right but i want to take a look at this
• 0:52
  first of all of him this is actually a little while ago but he brings up the
• 0:57
  simulation theory i do have this theory about the predicting the future which
• 1:02
  is that the most interesting outcome is the most likely,
• 1:04
  which if simulation theory is accurate makes sense because,
• 1:08
  if anyone is simulating a wide range of futurists they're going to stop the
• 1:12
  simulation when it gets boring because this is what we do in our reality so,
• 1:17
  if SpaceX is doing or Tesla doing simulations to understand how a car would work or robot or.
• 1:23
  Spaceship or something like that we'd run all these simulations in the computer and the simulations,
• 1:27
  that we pay attention to are the ones that are the most interesting like the
• 1:32
  simulation where everything goes right on the rocket we actually don't pay attention
• 1:34
  to because that's that's not a everything goes right simulation is fine so we actually test the,
• 1:42
  when we simulate the rocket flight we'll actually test all sorts of oddball
• 1:46
  situations but we don't test it we don't have the simulation be totally wrong because,
• 1:51
  i mean like if the rocket just explodes immediately that's not not also not
• 1:53
  interesting and i just listened to this guy who's explaining the simulation
• 1:56
  theory like it's the idea of these tests that have been run like since the 1800s
• 2:00
  that in our universe things happen differently based on whether you're looking
• 2:05
  at it whether they're being observed just
• 2:07
  and these have been tested like just regular things and that's why we know that
• 2:12
  something's out there like there's something underneath the surface like we
• 2:14
  know like we're physical we got material we're made up of material but like
• 2:18
  if we got down to the microscopic like,
• 2:21
  infinite like you know smallest atom it's like these things are moving they're
• 2:26
  like alive being held together somehow it's like,
• 2:30
  we should be able to like go through things but.
• 2:34
  Kept intact and like this guy brought up this like the theory that like if things
• 2:38
  that are observed they run tests if it if it's if it's being watched it reacts
• 2:43
  one way as opposed to if it's not it.
• 2:46
  Things know when they're being watched and observed in this like our universe
• 2:50
  everything is alive so elon must bring up the simulation theory that makes a
• 2:55
  lot of sense and i mean how could you even like i'm,
• 2:59
  like a guy that's like a beggar a poor man that doesn't have anything.
• 3:03
  It's hard for him to think that, man, my life is a simulation.
• 3:06
  It's just like, I'm just, he's probably not thinking about that.
• 3:09
  He's probably just trying to think of what's my next meal going to be.
• 3:12
  How am I going to survive? But Elon Musk has everything now worth a trillion
• 3:16
  dollars. It's crazy. All right. This is from the New York times is,
• 3:20
  uh, Elon Musk became the first, Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire on Friday.
• 3:25
  The tech mogul reached that milestone when shares of his rocket company,
• 3:28
  SpaceX, began trading on the stock market, opening at $150, signaling a new
• 3:34
  era of ultra-affluence and widening wealth inequality.
• 3:38
  SpaceX shares ended up rising 20% from their initial public offering price of
• 3:43
  $135, closing the day at $161.
• 3:48
  Mr.
• 3:49
  Musk's net worth, which comprises his stock in SpaceX and his electric car maker, Tesla,
• 3:56
  as well as his ownership stakes in other ventures, including the brain implant
• 3:59
  company Neuralink and the tunneling firm, The Boring Company,
• 4:03
  stood at around $1.2 trillion.
• 4:07
  His net worth is worth $1.2 trillion. And I just reached out to Elon.
• 4:12
  I said, can I borrow a couple bucks? I have yet to hear him get back to me.
• 4:16
  Like, this is just fake money. It just, and I know it's like,
• 4:20
  it's not like he has this liquid assets.
• 4:21
  Like he can, he's like, he's like Donald, what's that guy? Not Donald Duck,
• 4:25
  but Scrooge McDuck, who has all like a hundred, like millions of gold coins
• 4:29
  and he can dive into it, you know, all that. And he doesn't have that on hand.
• 4:33
  It's like, these are built into his companies.
• 4:35
  But still, that's a pretty, that's a pretty cool thing. It's like being a billionaire
• 4:40
  is one thing, a trillionaire, that's like, we're talking about countries' net
• 4:43
  worth. Like this is more net worth than a lot of countries out there.
• 4:47
  All right. So I'm going to actually jump back in a little bit.
• 4:50
  This is the one he brings up about Tony, like him being compared,
• 4:54
  like the guy, Tony Stark, Iron Man was built and made off of Elon Musk,
• 4:59
  which is pretty interesting in itself.
• 5:02
  And he said like in Iron Man 2, it was most of it was filmed or a lot of it
• 5:07
  was filmed at his at SpaceX.
• 5:09
  And like, it just doesn't seem like real life. and you expect me to believe
• 5:13
  this is all real it's a simulation exactly what are the odds.
• 5:18
  Yeah i mean if you were me no i agree with you would you think this is real
• 5:22
  or a simulation your life is a simulation yeah your life gets to be the simulation
• 5:26
  yeah and i'm like doing all the side quests and everything,
• 5:29
  yeah what's your best side quest uh doge probably all right that was a good
• 5:33
  side quest i thought it would have i thought it would have been more i thought
• 5:36
  doge would accomplished more than they did and he.
• 5:39
  He actually regrets doing doge and he felt like he lost a lot of ground but
• 5:43
  it's like if you don't take those you don't take those leaps of faith what you
• 5:46
  think doing what you think is right you're not going to know whether it turns
• 5:49
  out good or bad and it's a lesson learned you know so,
• 5:53
  i just think about this being like him being a trillionaire like is he the real
• 5:58
  like the the real playable character and we're all just npcs,
• 6:03
  I mean, I would say yes and no, yes and no. And I've talked about this before.
• 6:07
  I think that everybody born into this world, we are all NPCs. We are all NPCs.
• 6:13
  And it's not until God comes in and turns on the lights, makes us alive in Christ,
• 6:20
  that we actually become a real playable character. That's my view. That's my view.
• 6:26
  And the reason I even say that is because I view that God is the only real playable
• 6:32
  character and that God who stepped into the video game or stepped into this
• 6:36
  simulation, whatever you want to call it, in the form of Jesus Christ.
• 6:40
  That was him walking on earth and just being a part of the game,
• 6:44
  like, you know, and going up to people and just turning them on,
• 6:47
  making them alive, making them real people.
• 6:49
  And they're no longer just statues. they're actually putting on flesh and bones,
• 6:53
  having real life, having breath, having the breath of God in them.
• 6:57
  That's kind of like the whole Christian idea is that God puts his breath and
• 7:01
  awakens us, you know, lights the, the, the flame on our heart and our spirit like makes it again.
• 7:09
  So this is where I would say, because like, it can be like, and I see like Elizabeth
• 7:13
  Warren, she's the Congresswoman.
• 7:14
  She's out there saying a lot of things about, we need, you know,
• 7:18
  there needs to be a wealth tax.
• 7:20
  We need to tax the crap out of these guys, you know, and just,
• 7:23
  and that's just a game of envy.
• 7:25
  You know, it's like if, if it was like if Elon Musk got taxed more and somehow
• 7:30
  that came to me, oh, I might, I might be, I might be okay with that.
• 7:34
  And I don't know about you. I mean, but that's not even how it all works.
• 7:38
  And even that itself, that it's just, it becomes just an envy greed of just
• 7:42
  like, I want what they have and I'm willing to steal it, steal it from like
• 7:46
  the government stealing it from them. And that's kind of eye view.
• 7:49
  I think we need to have that private property that it's fine. That like...
• 7:55
  A guy like Elon Musk, he is paying his fair share. You know,
• 7:58
  I don't think we can get around that.
• 8:01
  So it all just becomes just like talking points to me when people say like they're
• 8:04
  not paying their fair share because like, look how much they have.
• 8:08
  They have like and they have such a little smaller window or of percentage that
• 8:12
  they get taxed compared to, you know, a school teacher or whatever.
• 8:15
  There's so many things with our tax code that we can make it even or whatever.
• 8:20
  It's it's all like in this world, it's all always going to be corrupt.
• 8:23
  It's always going to be corrupted you know and people that know how to go find
• 8:28
  the loopholes and like do their own thing to try to game the system.
• 8:33
  They're going to make it out on top you know they they have the purse strings they have the power,
• 8:37
  i and i see the inequality but like that it's just like if we if we just like
• 8:42
  pull back the veil and like we look at it from a perspective if like step back
• 8:46
  a little bit and not and get out of the mindset of like he has a trillion dollars
• 8:50
  i only have a hundred dollars.
• 8:53
  What what's where's the beef you know i get our guys like that's kind of messed
• 8:56
  up rather you know from a biblical perspective and i i like to bring it towards the bible because,
• 9:02
  if we go back to even jesus's time jesus talked to all these poor people and
• 9:07
  these regular people they're just that weren't like the highest,
• 9:12
  rungs of society or whatever and he said he said to them you are the light of
• 9:16
  the world you are the salt of the earth and like telling these people that probably couldn't like,
• 9:21
  they didn't have any power or influence just these regular commoners like what
• 9:25
  it seemed like beggars and homeless people today to us in our like kind of in our worldview,
• 9:32
  But that like goes for everyone. And it makes it more and more clear to me,
• 9:36
  like why it would be tough for rich people to enter the kingdom of heaven.
• 9:40
  Because when you have more and more and more, it's hard to let go.
• 9:43
  It's not that like money is evil in itself, but it's hard to like relinquish it.
• 9:49
  Not let it like have its claws in us.
• 9:53
  And that's why I see it as God when he says that it's harder for a camel to
• 9:59
  go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
• 10:02
  It's because there's so much more baggage.
• 10:04
  And in the apostles day, him that Jesus saying that is not this.
• 10:09
  It's not like in our view, we think that, well, the rich are the evil ones in their worldview.
• 10:14
  The rich were the blessed ones. The rich were the ones that had everything and
• 10:18
  that we should aspire to be because like they viewed it. Well,
• 10:21
  father Abraham, he had so much wealth.
• 10:23
  It's like, if, if you're doing good and do what's right in God's eyes,
• 10:26
  he's going to bless you. And Jesus turned that completely upside down.
• 10:30
  That's why it's like it's it's there's not one way it's not a one-way street
• 10:33
  you're it's not like you're when you're doing good you're being blessed and
• 10:36
  when you're doing bad you're do you're.
• 10:38
  You're all what you're you're sinning or something like that,
• 10:42
  it's there's so much like that's why i think in the bible like it says like
• 10:45
  god's judgments are unsearchable like because if we try to pin down like why
• 10:49
  does he have so much more money and this person doesn't why is there such variance
• 10:53
  and like everybody is like given a different hand
• 10:56
  we're not all the same and like and even just
• 10:59
  the ability to come to God in the first place
• 11:01
  have having revelation of knowing God.
• 11:04
  Not if that's not even equal, it doesn't seem.
• 11:06
  It's like you're either you're born in America where there's a church on every
• 11:10
  corner or you're born in the Amazon jungle where like you're never going to hear the name of Jesus.
• 11:16
  And it's not to say that those people in the amazon jungle can't become can't
• 11:20
  be saved and be with god for all eternity i mean abraham never heard of the name of jesus you know he.
• 11:27
  Like it was all like it's like all from humanity we all have general revelation
• 11:32
  we have we understand there everybody knows there's a god but all like all this
• 11:36
  revelation of we look out in the world everything just seems
• 11:39
  too good to be true everything's perfectly going together you You know,
• 11:42
  it rains, it evaporates, goes back to the side.
• 11:45
  The rivers are always pouring into the ocean and they never steeped,
• 11:48
  never stopped to have water. It's like how the, like the world is put together
• 11:52
  is just so perfectly done.
• 11:54
  We know there's a God, but all that does is condemn us. All that does is give
• 11:58
  us enough revelation to say you should surrender to God.
• 12:03
  You should, you know, but like the gospel, the message of the gospel is it doesn't
• 12:07
  matter how much money you have.
• 12:09
  It doesn't matter your bank account. it doesn't matter how much even like general
• 12:12
  revelation you have it doesn't even matter how what good things you're going to do it's just like,
• 12:17
  it's it has to be like a supernatural thing god has to come in somehow somehow
• 12:23
  he has to come in and flip on the light he needs to turn,
• 12:28
  like the switch on so we're in the game so that we're made alive and i just think,
• 12:33
  these are these are just like myths are like like little like smoke screens
• 12:37
  of somebody that person's rich over there or that person's poor this all seems
• 12:40
  like a simulation i'm a simulation we're all you know everybody's npc everybody it's like.
• 12:46
  We take a step back. God is the one, like he knows what he's doing and why he
• 12:53
  does the things he does, I don't know. And I don't think, we're not gonna know until we're with him.
• 12:57
  But I think that we can rest in peace that he's a God of like truth,
• 13:03
  justice and of doing what's right.
• 13:06
  It's like, that's the kind of, you gotta like let go and let God.
• 13:09
  Like he's got everything under control.
• 13:11
  Why the Elon Musk seems so blessed. I don't need to envy him.
• 13:15
  Why like but he might have like some tougher things to let go of to surrender
• 13:20
  to the almighty god you know that that's kind of like where i where i feel at it i think so,
• 13:25
  but let me know what you think what what how do you feel about like or is your
• 13:29
  immediate reaction like man it just i he he needs to give me some of that money or
• 13:35
  the government needs to come out there and confiscate it take from him you know
• 13:37
  but like are you gonna see that money even if it does no,
• 13:41
  it just becomes like like it feels like,
• 13:44
  i'm jealous of that person or or whatever covetous of that person but all right
• 13:49
  we'll leave it at that let me know what you think,
• 13:51
  and hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend see y'all.
