  Welcome back to the Elon Musk podcast.
• 0:02
  And on this episode we'll be discussing the latest news
• 0:05
  surrounding Twitter and its CEO. Elon Musk, of course, now most
• 0:08
  recently engaged in a bizarre Twitter exchange with an
• 0:12
  Icelandic entrepreneur hurled Earth or Olufsen who is unsure
• 0:16
  if he had been fired by the social media company, The
• 0:19
  Exchange went viral on Twitter, drawing attention to the ongoing
• 0:23
  turmoil on the platform. Now, despite the challenges
• 0:26
  facing Twitter, musk remains optimistic about the company's
• 0:29
  future. ER, urging advertisers to use
• 0:32
  Twitter directly into believe that they see a future with the
• 0:36
  platform that most claims that the journalists have been
• 0:39
  trained, never to write a positive story and that
• 0:42
  advertisers can adjust the res to suit the content, they're
• 0:45
  comfortable being associated with on the platform.
• 0:48
  However, the Federal Trade Commission, has asked Twitter to
• 0:51
  turn over internal Communications related to musk
• 0:54
  and detailed information about the layoffs.
• 0:57
  Amid concerns. The staff reductions could
• 0:59
  compromise. He's the company's ability to
• 1:01
  protect users. The FTC inquiry centers around
• 1:04
  the ability of the company to comply with a 150 million dollar
• 1:08
  settlement related to alleged privacy violations.
• 1:12
  So what does the future hold for Twitter?
• 1:14
  And its users will musk's leadership style and
• 1:18
  cost-cutting measures. Help turn the company around or
• 1:20
  will the ongoing controversy surrounding the platform
• 1:23
  continue to drive users away? Now, Elon Musk the CEO of
• 1:30
  Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX head called on advertises recently to
• 1:35
  use Twitter directly into believe what they see on the
• 1:39
  platform rather than relying on traditional media sources.
• 1:42
  And he spoke at a Morgan Stanley media.
• 1:44
  Conference must claim, that journalists have been trained,
• 1:48
  never to write a positive story and he also expressed gratitude
• 1:51
  to long-term Partners Disney and Apple for continuing to
• 1:55
  advertise on Twitter. Spike concerns over hate speech.
• 1:59
  According to musk, advertisers have the ability to adjust the
• 2:03
  Rance to suit the content. You're comfortable being
• 2:05
  associated with just as they do on television, he cited, Warner,
• 2:09
  Brothers, discoveries campaign for HBO's The White Lotus as an
• 2:14
  example of successful. Keyword advertising saying, you
• 2:17
  don't need Advanced AI for this one.
• 2:20
  Now must acknowledge that monetizing Twitter's large and
• 2:22
  Global user base remains a significant challenge but said
• 2:26
  that usage in a Another platform have never been stronger.
• 2:29
  He also claimed that the company's former regime had left
• 2:33
  significant Revenue potential attempt and that the Deep rounds
• 2:37
  of layoffs and restructuring. He has been implemented.
• 2:40
  Have helped to cut the non-interest burn rate to around
• 2:44
  1.5 billion dollars. He expressed optimism that
• 2:48
  Twitter could be cash flow positive next quarter, depending
• 2:51
  on the ad market and musk reiterated that he purchased
• 2:54
  Twitter for the sake of free speech.
• 2:57
  And the future of our civilization, adding that the
• 3:00
  old Twitter had a huge thumb on the scale in favor of the left
• 3:04
  which was not conducive to healthy National dialogue.
• 3:08
  He did not mention that he had tried to back out of the deal
• 3:11
  shortly after making it though. And meanwhile, The Wall Street
• 3:14
  Journal is reported that the FTC has asked Twitter to turn over
• 3:18
  internal Communications related to musk as well as detailed
• 3:22
  information about the recent layoffs amid concerns that
• 3:25
  staff. Reductions could / - the
• 3:28
  company's ability to protect users.
• 3:30
  The inquiry centers around. Twitter's ability to comply with
• 3:33
  a 150 million dollar settlement related to alleged privacy
• 3:39
  violations. Now, Twitter's exchange between
• 3:42
  musk's and Thor. Listen, I was talking about
• 3:45
  earlier, went really viral on the platform it engage more than
• 3:48
  11 million people and your widespread attention to the
• 3:53
  turmoil that's going on at Twitter.
• 3:55
  Now the social media platform has been Juggling to retain its
• 3:58
  position as a major player in the industry.
• 4:01
  And they faced increasing competition from other
• 4:03
  platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Tick, Tock, and
• 4:08
  in recent years, Twitter has been in a decline in user growth
• 4:12
  and revenue as well as a series of high-profile controversies
• 4:16
  relating to misinformation hate speech, and harassment on his
• 4:20
  platform. Now musk a squished, exposition
• 4:23
  of Twitter and 2022 was seen by many as a bold move, that could
• 4:27
  potentially reinvigorate the platform.
• 4:29
  Bring it back to the Limelight. However, his controversial
• 4:33
  leadership style and penchant for cost cutting, measures have
• 4:36
  also raised concerns among some other car companies industry
• 4:41
  observers and some employees as well.
• 4:44
  And despite the challenges facing Twitter thoroughly of sin
• 4:47
  remains optimistic about the company's future noting that
• 4:51
  Join the platform because he believed in what it was
• 4:54
  building. He also expressed his gratitude
• 4:57
  for the support. He received from the Twitter
• 4:58
  Community during his recent ordeal saying that it was
• 5:01
  heartening to see so many people come together to help him in his
• 5:06
  time of need. Now, the Twitter exchange
• 5:08
  between musket or love, sin is just the latest example of the
• 5:12
  unpredictable, and often surreal world of social media, and I was
• 5:16
  platforms, such as Twitter, continue to evolve and shape,
• 5:19
  our online interactions. It remains to be seen what the
• 5:22
  future holds for these digital spaces Earth of people that
• 5:26
  interact with them. Now I want to ask you a favor
• 5:29
  real quick, we have a sponsor for the show Starships.
• 5:33
  Shirts.com. If you're into Elon Musk, if you
• 5:36
  had a SpaceX if you're at a NASA, if you're into space
• 5:38
  flight in anything space-related, go check out
• 5:42
  Starship shirts.com. They have a wide selection of
• 5:46
  everything Spacey out there, including Elon Musk merch and
• 5:50
  space Inspired t-shirts. Everything is at a price.
• 5:55
  That's reasonable. I think it's $16.99 right now,
• 5:59
  for any t-shirt. So, just for our listeners, the
• 6:02
  prices have gone down. Worked out a deal with them.
• 6:05
  So check them out, Starship shirts.com.
• 6:09
  Now, let's talk about SpaceX since we're talking about space
• 6:13
  space, 6, will be possibly conducting a static fire test of
• 6:17
  its booster 7 rocket booster. Coming up on March, 10th 2023,
• 6:25
  and there's little bit of evidence for this because
• 6:28
  there's a not much scheduled for that time frame.
• 6:30
  Now, I'm not Mar, is a notice to Mariners to Mariners, to people,
• 6:35
  with boats, and two, people also with the fly planes and also
• 6:39
  people that are just regular people.
• 6:41
  It's basically a no-fly, no boat, no walk Zone, get out of
• 6:44
  there and let SpaceX do their business.
• 6:48
  Let them test their booster at Boca Chica Starbase Now we don't
• 6:53
  know exactly what this test is for.
• 6:55
  It's a not Mars, so it's an overpressure notice.
• 6:58
  Also, there's a possibility that there could be some fire
• 7:01
  involved and this possibility that there could be something
• 7:04
  that blows up. So SpaceX sent this not Mar to
• 7:09
  the Coast Guard. It's a please post this because
• 7:12
  we want to be sure that nobody gets injured while we do our
• 7:14
  testing. Now it could be that the FAA saw
• 7:20
  the last status Take fire from SpaceX, the 31 engine, static
• 7:24
  fire, and maybe something happened with those engines,
• 7:29
  it's SpaceX had to replace them and they did they replace those
• 7:32
  two engines, because I'm let me back up a little bit.
• 7:35
  Because SpaceX on the booster seven, there's 33 Reptar two
• 7:38
  engines in the last static fire. They did there were only 30 one.
• 7:42
  That worked. Two of them were shut off before
• 7:45
  the static fire test. So SpaceX replace those engines
• 7:49
  and there's a possibility that the Saw that or even internally
• 7:53
  with SpaceX. They saw that and they thought
• 7:56
  it would be a better idea if we did this, right?
• 8:00
  And made sure that all 33 wrapped or two engines would
• 8:03
  fire at the same time and that the rocket and the booster would
• 8:07
  be safer if we made sure that all of these rocket engines
• 8:11
  worked, so it's possibility that they will be doing a booster
• 8:16
  firing. Now there's also booster 7, we
• 8:19
  have ship down there to ship, 24 ship 26 or a few Starships.
• 8:25
  Now, the Starship is the 150-foot tall ship.
• 8:29
  That's the second stage of this giant rocket.
• 8:32
  The rocket itself is 400 feet tall all together around that
• 8:35
  around that size. It's the largest rocket in the
• 8:38
  world is the most powerful rocket that will ever fly.
• 8:40
  Once it does fly. I just recently, Elon Musk said
• 8:45
  that, he expects the first attempt to be about fifty
• 8:48
  percent successful, probably. Going to detonate over the Gulf
• 8:53
  of Mexico and also he said there's probably an 80% percent
• 8:58
  chance this SpaceX launches the Starship to orbit by the Year's
• 9:03
  End. So if that's the case, Elon Musk
• 9:09
  Gwynne, Shotwell everybody SpaceX.
• 9:11
  They need to make 100 flights of the Starship before they can put
• 9:15
  people in it. And SpaceX is Starship agreement
• 9:21
  with or Star, peace agreement with Texas.
• 9:23
  Only allows them up to, I believe six flights per year
• 9:27
  from Starbase. So if they want to do 100
• 9:31
  flights 200 flights before they put people in this thing.
• 9:35
  They're going to have to go fast for the next few years.
• 9:39
  Now SpaceX has just made it past the hunt, 100 successful launch
• 9:46
  and Landings. Of the Falcon 9 rocket and
• 9:49
  that's been in development. It has flown for about 10 years
• 9:53
  now. SpaceX also knows how to build
• 9:55
  Rockets. Now, the Falcon 9 was a work in
• 9:57
  progress and they built from the ground up.
• 9:59
  It's a brand new rocket with brand new parsley, built
• 10:02
  in-house, same thing with the Starship, but they use the
• 10:06
  fundamentals and the, the knowledge they gain from
• 10:09
  building the Falcon 9 to build the Starship.
• 10:13
  So there's a possibility. I really hope this works out for
• 10:17
  SpaceX because there's a huge possibility that they could
• 10:20
  actually pull this off. This will be one of the most
• 10:24
  challenging things to ever happen as far as human
• 10:28
  engineering goes. Elon Musk has said numerous
• 10:31
  times, that SpaceX is solving a problem that's almost impossible
• 10:36
  to solve getting a fully reusable.
• 10:39
  Rocket to orbit is almost impossible and leaving the
• 10:44
  Earth's gravity will getting it out into space and having it
• 10:49
  land back on Earth is almost impossible.
• 10:53
  So, if they can pull this off, this will be one of the, if not,
• 10:57
  the most impressive engineering feat of all Humanity ever.
• 11:01
  So let that sink in for a second.
• 11:03
  Elon Musk is doing that with his team down to Starbase Texas.
• 11:07
  Now, what's going to happen? I believe is that Starbase is
• 11:10
  going to eventually just do a few flights of test Vehicles
• 11:16
  test articles throughout the year, new designs new engine
• 11:20
  tweaks. You nobody tweaks, things like
• 11:22
  that. Well, do five, six, ten of those
• 11:25
  per year, but they'll be doing the majority of the flights from
• 11:28
  their new star base at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
• 11:32
  So I think the majority of those hundred flights are going to be
• 11:36
  coming from Florida and if that's the Case.
• 11:40
  It's going to be absolutely incredible to see that happen
• 11:43
  from Hallowed Ground down at Kennedy Space Center.
• 11:47
  Now, I think what's going to happen on the 10th is they're
• 11:51
  going to do the static fire. They're going to get past that.
• 11:54
  Elon Musk said that hopefully late March, they'll get they'll
• 11:59
  have the ship ready, have the booster ready, have everything
• 12:02
  ready, ground systems ready for this launch?
• 12:04
  They just have to wait for the FAA.
• 12:07
  And if that's the case, we could possibly see a launch april-may,
• 12:15
  maybe June, if everything's ready on SpaceX is n because the
• 12:19
  FAA may have to take some time to figure out all the data that
• 12:22
  space extends them and make sure that everything's okay.
• 12:26
  So yeah, we're going to expect great things from SpaceX this
• 12:31
  year and I hope you enjoyed this thing about it.
