Elon Musk Weekly News Update: Tesla, SpaceX, X, Neuralink, and More · Elon Musk Podcast

• 0:00
  Hey everybody, welcome back to the Elon Musk Podcast.
• 0:03
  This is a show where we discuss the critical crossroads that
• 0:06
  shape SpaceX, Tesla X, The Boring Company, and Neuralink.
• 0:10
  And I'm your host. Will Walden?
• 0:12
  One more thing. Before we start, Google Podcasts
• 0:15
  is being discontinued by Google, so if you want to continue
• 0:20
  getting episodes of the Elon Musk podcast, please check us
• 0:23
  out over. At YouTube Music Search us out
• 0:27
  over there and that's where you'll be able to find our our
• 0:30
  podcast through Google products. Thank you so much for
• 0:33
  understanding. I had no control over this.
• 0:35
  Google pulled the Google Podcast app off of Android, and I want
• 0:39
  to. Let you know where to continue
• 0:41
  finding the show Over at YouTube Music Search for Elon Musk
• 0:44
  podcast Elon Musk's X, the social media platform formerly
• 0:49
  known as Twitter, is set to remove the option for premium
• 0:53
  users to hide their blue check marks, a feature that was once
• 0:57
  optional. Now this change was communicated
• 0:59
  to users through a notification and the blue check mark,
• 1:02
  previously a mark of authenticity and also status,
• 1:06
  has transformed under Elon Musk's ownership into a symbol
• 1:09
  that users could purchase, leading to a shift in the
• 1:12
  perception among the platform's community.
• 1:15
  Now, according to a recent update from X itself, the
• 1:18
  ability to conceal one's blue check mark will soon be
• 1:21
  discontinued. The platform stated the Hide
• 1:24
  Your Check Mark feature of X Premium is going away soon,
• 1:28
  urging users to adjust their premium settings accordingly.
• 1:30
  Now this marks a significant shift in how users can control
• 1:33
  their visibility and association with the blue check mark.
• 1:38
  Now the decision to make blue check marks mandatory for
• 1:41
  premium users reflects A broader change in policy under Elon
• 1:44
  Musk's direction. Initially, Musk critique the old
• 1:48
  Twitter's Blue check system as a quote Lords and Peasants system
• 1:52
  only to reintroduce it in a different form where users could
• 1:56
  pay a monthly fee for premium features including the blue
• 2:00
  check mark. Think about that, if you have
• 2:03
  the money you can have a blue check mark or if you had the
• 2:06
  status before, you can have the blue check mark.
• 2:08
  Does that still make you a Lord If you have the money or the
• 2:11
  status? That's up to you to decide.
• 2:14
  Now this move has not been well received by all though as many
• 2:17
  users expressed dissatisfaction sitting they would not pay for
• 2:21
  such a feature. The ability to hide the blue
• 2:23
  check mark was heavily utilized last week when Musk decided to
• 2:26
  automatically assign it to popular users, indicating the
• 2:29
  user's reluctance to be openly associated with the paid status
• 2:33
  symbol that we introduced in August of 2023.
• 2:37
  The option to hide the blue check mark was intended to allow
• 2:39
  users to subscribe to X Premium without public endorsement or
• 2:43
  the stigma of having paid for their status.
• 2:45
  This features removal, expected to occur less than a year after
• 2:48
  its introduction, has sparked concerns about the increasing
• 2:51
  influence and control exerted by Platform Policies over user
• 2:55
  preferences. Now many influential and high
• 2:59
  profile users on X now face a challenging decision, continue
• 3:02
  using the platform with an openly displayed blue check
• 3:05
  mark, or cease using this service altogether.
• 3:09
  Now the new policy could potentially Dr. significant
• 3:11
  numbers of X's content creators to alternative platforms such as
• 3:15
  Threads, which have emerged as competitors in the social media
• 3:18
  space. And the pattern of imposing
• 3:20
  stark choices on users and affiliates is characteristic of
• 3:25
  Musk's management. Style.
• 3:26
  Similar to past instances where he has issued ultimatums to
• 3:30
  advertisers and product users, this move can be seen as part of
• 3:33
  a broader strategy to reshape the platform according to his
• 3:36
  own vision and his operational philosophy.
• 3:39
  Now the timing of this policy change coincides with X's recent
• 3:42
  promotion were accounts with substantial number of verified
• 3:45
  followers were upgraded to premium status at no additional
• 3:48
  cost. And this gesture of goodwill is
• 3:50
  now juxtaposed with the removal of a feature that many users
• 3:53
  valued for its privacy and discretion.
• 3:56
  Now the initial implementation of the blue check mark was to
• 3:59
  signify verification and authentic user profiles, which
• 4:03
  was a free feature before Musk's takeover.
• 4:06
  Their transition to a paid verification system has diluted
• 4:09
  the symbol's value, making it a target for criticism and a tool
• 4:12
  for scammers and impersonators now, furthermore.
• 4:17
  The platform's automatic. Distribution of blue checks to
• 4:19
  certain users last week, regardless of their consent,
• 4:22
  highlights the unpredictability and autocratic nature of changes
• 4:26
  under Elon Musk. Many of these users, surprised
• 4:28
  by the unrequested verification, chose to hide these checkmarks,
• 4:32
  a choice that will be soon revoked.
• 4:34
  Now The implications of this policy change extend beyond user
• 4:38
  dissatisfaction, though. It also provides fertile ground
• 4:41
  for fraudulent activities, as observed with the platform's
• 4:45
  recent issues around URL manipulation.
• 4:48
  X's system, which automatically changed mentions of the
• 4:52
  Twitter.com URL to x.com, inadvertently facilitated
• 4:56
  phishing by allowing scammers to exploit modified URLs.
• 5:01
  Our concerns escalated when users noticed the automatic URL
• 5:05
  replacement on X's iOS app, turning legitimate links into
• 5:08
  potential phishing traps. Now, for example, the
• 5:11
  transformation of Netflit Twitter.com into netflix.com in
• 5:18
  users posts did not redirect to Netflix, but rather to the
• 5:22
  deceptive site designed by scammers.
• 5:25
  Now the public's reaction was swift, with warnings spreading
• 5:28
  about the dangers of these altered URLs. 1 notable instance
• 5:32
  involved the user purchasing A misleading domain to redirect
• 5:35
  visitors to a warning page, thereby preventing potential
• 5:39
  phishing attacks. Now, despite this backlash,
• 5:42
  though, X temporarily rolled back the automatic URL change
• 5:45
  feature after public outcry and media coverage, though concerns
• 5:49
  about similar issues persist. This reflects the ongoing
• 5:53
  challenges of Musk's platform as it faces and attempts to
• 5:58
  innovate while managing user trust and safety.
• 6:01
  The series of policy shifts and their execution under Musk's
• 6:04
  ownership illustrates how he does broader, abrupt changes
• 6:11
  without telling anybody what's going on and disregards user
• 6:16
  feedback or potential negative feedback.
• 6:19
  Seems like Elon Musk just kind of does what he wants to do.
• 6:22
  It's his platform. He can do whatever he wants.
• 6:24
  Now. This approach has led to a
• 6:25
  growing perception of X as a platform where unilateral
• 6:28
  decisions are common and user autonomy is increasingly
• 6:32
  restricted. Now, as X continues to evolve
• 6:35
  under Musk's ambitious directive, platform risks
• 6:38
  alienating a portion of its user base who value transparency and
• 6:42
  control over their online personas.
• 6:44
  Removal of the ability to hide blue checks is just one example
• 6:49
  of policy changes that may have lasting implications on the
• 6:52
  platform's community dynamics and user engagement.
• 6:55
  Now, looking ahead, the platform's direction under Musk
• 6:58
  will likely continue to stir debate and scrutiny as it
• 7:01
  balances innovation with user satisfaction.
• 7:04
  How X navigates these challenges will be crucial in determining
• 7:07
  its position within the competitive landscape of social
• 7:10
  media platforms going forward, including threads, Facebook, et
• 7:15
  cetera. So X decision to remove the
• 7:19
  ability to hide these blue checks and the shift of the
• 7:23
  Twitter to x.com domain. Well, we're.
• 7:27
  Going to see where this leads, but hopefully they can get the
• 7:30
  domain redirect figured out. It's a kind of simple thing that
• 7:33
  they could be doing, but apparently they messed this one
• 7:36
  up. Maybe somebody's getting fired?
• 7:38
  I don't know. Elon doesn't like when people
• 7:40
  mess up, so stay tuned. We'll have more information
• 7:43
  about this. On a day by day ongoing basis,
• 7:46
  Joni I've previously from Apple and Sam Altman of Open AI are
• 7:50
  currently designing something interesting.
• 7:54
  Now Joni I've one of the absolute best industrial
• 7:58
  designers used to work at Apple. All the products that we use
• 8:01
  now, iPhones, iPads, everything had Joni's handprints on it, and
• 8:06
  his ideas are amazing. And the way that he designs
• 8:10
  things absolutely brilliantly. Sam Altman of Open AI, great
• 8:14
  business person, very intellectual person.
• 8:16
  Open AI is revolutionizing the way that we use AI in every
• 8:20
  single facet of society. And they're building something
• 8:22
  together. They're trying to secure a
• 8:25
  billion dollars in funding for this venture.
• 8:27
  Now this is wild, but they aim to develop an AI integrated
• 8:31
  personal device. It's going to have very distinct
• 8:33
  design and functionality is going to be similar to
• 8:37
  smartphones that we have now. Now the Information broke this
• 8:40
  story and they said that in 2023 after the initial disclosure
• 8:44
  from the information that they're working on something.
• 8:46
  We don't have many specifics right now.
• 8:48
  It's all undisclosed, it's all behind closed doors and there's
• 8:51
  curiosity about its design and capabilities too.
• 8:54
  The developers have been under discussion since 2023, I think
• 8:58
  increasing momentum towards actualizing of the concept.
• 9:02
  Right now, the collaboration between I've and Altman combines
• 9:05
  significant expertise in design and AI, suggesting hopefully a
• 9:09
  new groundbreaking product is on the horizon.
• 9:12
  Now we've seen similar designs to the iPhone.
• 9:16
  Almost every smartphone now looks very similar to an iPhone.
• 9:19
  And that's because Johnny, Joni, I've sorry, I keep saying
• 9:22
  Johnny, but Joni, I've was way ahead of the curve here.
• 9:25
  But Joni and Sam have engaged with several potential investors
• 9:29
  right now to reach their substantial funding target, a
• 9:32
  billion dollars. They're going to hire the
• 9:33
  greatest minds in AI and design and engineering to come together
• 9:38
  and build this amazing device, whatever it is.
• 9:41
  And the discussions have included Thrive Capital, known
• 9:44
  for its investments, repeat investments, mind you, in Open
• 9:47
  AI and Emerson Collective established by Laurene Powell
• 9:50
  Jobs. Now these talks indicate a broad
• 9:53
  search for financial backing to support the ventures ambitious
• 9:56
  goals that Joni Ive is behind it.
• 9:58
  Something spectacular is on the horizon.
• 10:01
  The potential for something spectacular is on the horizon.
• 10:03
  We don't know how this thing is going to turn out.
• 10:04
  Also, SoftBank, a CEO of SoftBank is another prominent
• 10:08
  figure in the tech sector and it's possibly interested in
• 10:12
  investing in this new format for interacting with yourself, your
• 10:17
  data, the environment. We don't know what this thing is
• 10:20
  yet, though this is all speculation.
• 10:21
  The involvement of the CEO from SoftBank suggests a passable
• 10:25
  link to ARM ARM microprocessors. It's a company that he supports.
• 10:29
  It's high profile nature of this endeavor is if they get a chip
• 10:32
  company on board, they're going to do something absolutely
• 10:34
  amazing. If they can do custom chips,
• 10:36
  that's probably why they need the billion dollars too.
• 10:38
  They have to go through all the engineering to make prototypes
• 10:40
  and the whole gambit of things they have to run through.
• 10:43
  And not just alpha software, but beta software and also full
• 10:47
  release software. But also they have to do a lot
• 10:49
  of testing with this hardware and the software together to
• 10:52
  make sure everything functions very well and they have to keep
• 10:55
  it at a price point that people would actually buy out.
• 10:58
  Yeah, right now an iPhone is around a, that's to say 700 to
• 11:01
  $1000. And if this device is similar to
• 11:05
  the iPhone, like what it can accomplish, Check your e-mail,
• 11:08
  listen to music. What are the normal things that
• 11:10
  you do every day? Check maps, get an Uber and get
• 11:13
  food delivered to you? Whatever it is, if this device
• 11:15
  can do that, and it's smaller than iPhone, you don't have to
• 11:18
  take it out of your pocket. It's clipped to you somewhere.
• 11:20
  Or maybe it's a ring. I don't know.
• 11:21
  And it I don't know what it is and we have no idea.
• 11:23
  Nobody really knows, then would you buy it for 700 dollars,
• 11:27
  $800? That's an ambitious goal for a
• 11:30
  price, but there's a possibility that it could be around that
• 11:33
  price. If it's a small device.
• 11:35
  And it could do things that are similar to an iPhone but doesn't
• 11:37
  have the capabilities of a screen, isn't worth that much
• 11:40
  money, though. You have to think about that
• 11:41
  too. But they want to raise a billion
• 11:43
  dollars, build the chips, build the software.
• 11:45
  You need bright people to do all of all those things and managing
• 11:48
  the company and AI everything. So let's go back to the
• 11:51
  information. If you're not familiar with the
• 11:52
  information is they break a lot of tech stories and they have
• 11:55
  people on the inside. They know everybody in Silicon
• 11:58
  Valley. They have some insiders that
• 12:00
  come. Through with some very.
• 12:01
  Reputable information. That's why they're called The
• 12:04
  Information now. They say that the device excused
• 12:07
  traditional designs, potentially offering a novel user
• 12:10
  experience. They're looking into screenless
• 12:12
  interfaces. Sam Altman wants to have
• 12:16
  creative, intuitive, less distracting technology, and I
• 12:21
  think Joni, I've was on the precipice of something.
• 12:24
  Let's not talk about the Apple Pencil, though.
• 12:26
  Can we? Or the way that the Apple mouse
• 12:28
  charges? Let's not talk about those two
• 12:30
  things. Those are horrible, horrible
• 12:31
  designs. I don't know if Joni, I've had
• 12:33
  anything to do with that, but if he did, Joni, you did a horrible
• 12:35
  thing to humanity for introducing those two ways of
• 12:38
  charging things, The way to charge an Apple Pencil and the
• 12:40
  way to charge an Apple mouse. Horrible designs.
• 12:43
  But this new design hopefully screen this interface and it's
• 12:47
  going to be very intuitive. It's going to be very novel.
• 12:49
  It's supposed to leverage Open AI's ChatGPT or.
• 12:52
  Some. Version of that, or some sort of
• 12:54
  something with a large language model, and they're going to be
• 12:56
  integrating advanced AI capabilities with this device.
• 12:59
  Now, between I've designed Prowess and Altman's AI
• 13:02
  expertise, they could redefine personal computing devices.
• 13:05
  Think about how much money Apple makes just from iPhone sales and
• 13:08
  software sales. I've's previous contributions to
• 13:11
  Apple's iconic products in his post Apple venture love form
• 13:14
  show that he has a deep commitment to innovation in
• 13:17
  design and functionality, even though he's been gone from Apple
• 13:20
  for a long time now. And the project's ambition is
• 13:23
  evident in the recruitment of Tank Tan, a former Apple
• 13:26
  executive, to lead hardware engineering.
• 13:28
  Now, this venture's commitment to high quality design and
• 13:31
  engineering could draw upon Tan's experience with Apple's
• 13:35
  product lineup. They have to the right people,
• 13:38
  in the right places, doing the right things in order to produce
• 13:41
  an amazing device that people would actually want to use and
• 13:44
  where. Now, there's an ongoing debate
• 13:45
  though, about the role of AI in enhancing productivity while
• 13:49
  minimizing distractions. Previous AI devices have
• 13:52
  promised efficiency without the pitfalls of conventional
• 13:55
  smartphones, but real world effectiveness and security
• 13:58
  concerns remain to be addressed comprehensively.
• 14:01
  Just hear me out for a moment. If you ask your device that's
• 14:04
  connected to Open AI to look up somebody's phone number.
• 14:08
  Or. To give your information, any
• 14:10
  sort of information, let's just dial it back here.
• 14:12
  Any sort of information. Do you want Open AI to have your
• 14:14
  information or do you want it to be encrypted?
• 14:16
  I would go for encrypted. Nobody needs to know if I'm
• 14:19
  having one of those nights on Indiana Pizza at 3:00 in the
• 14:21
  morning. Nobody needs to know what, like
• 14:24
  where I go or anything like that.
• 14:26
  Same with you. I'm sure I'm most people don't
• 14:27
  really worry about them. That's not.
• 14:29
  I don't really worry about got it, but I don't think a company
• 14:31
  should have all of my specific data for things that I for where
• 14:34
  I go and what I do. No, I have an iPhone and I'm
• 14:37
  probably tracked all the time. Anyway.
• 14:39
  I have googled Google on my iPhone so I'm pretty sure ads
• 14:43
  are being forced to me through. Google.
• 14:45
  Because the things that I say or the things that I search, there
• 14:48
  are trade-offs this little. Device.
• 14:50
  It's supposed to be smaller than an iPhone.
• 14:52
  They'll. Be able to do all that.
• 14:53
  I'm not sure. I'm not sure what they'll be
• 14:54
  able to do, but I'm pretty sure everything will go up to the
• 14:56
  cloud anyway. They'll be able to process
• 14:58
  things in the cloud as opposed to on your device.
• 15:00
  So maybe that's where they're going to be doing their
• 15:02
  processing. Maybe they're going to have
• 15:03
  server farms, GPU farms, et cetera, that will be handling
• 15:06
  all this computation. Now the feasibility and the
• 15:09
  impact of such AI power devices are still under scrutiny, though
• 15:12
  nobody. 'S made anything like this
• 15:14
  before. Questions about their
• 15:15
  practicality, user experience and data security linger, and
• 15:19
  that's the challenge for Ivan Altman's project going ahead.
• 15:22
  There's a lot of problems, actually a lot of things to
• 15:25
  solve the funding of a billion dollars.
• 15:27
  With high profile investors like SoftBank, it's potentially
• 15:30
  significant. In the tech industry.
• 15:32
  The involvement of such influential figures could shape
• 15:35
  the project's direction and its technological foundations,
• 15:38
  particularly with arms potential involvement as well.
• 15:41
  And the project's conception involving brainstorming Session
• 15:44
  I of San Francisco Studio indicate a hands on approach to
• 15:47
  defining the devices, core features and user experience.
• 15:50
  If you get together with somebody, there's a lot that can
• 15:52
  be done that you cannot do over Zoom.
• 15:54
  Real time collaboration in person is a lot different than
• 15:57
  real time collaboration on Zoom or any other.
• 15:59
  Their meeting app. I'm glad they met up.
• 16:01
  I'm glad they can brainstorm traditionally one-on-one or with
• 16:05
  their team to pound this out because it sounds like an
• 16:07
  amazing thing and the goal is to develop an intuitive user
• 16:10
  interface that transcends conventional computing
• 16:12
  paradigms. Most like the iPhone,
• 16:14
  revolutionized mobile Internet access.
• 16:17
  If you remember, back then phones didn't really have the
• 16:20
  Internet, and when they did have the Internet, it was expensive
• 16:23
  and. It was basic.
• 16:25
  Text There wasn't a lot of websites that were developed.
• 16:28
  There weren't any apps really, just apps that came with your
• 16:31
  T-Mobile phone or whatever. But no real apps for the
• 16:34
  Internet back then, not compared to like now everything has.
• 16:37
  Every phone has 5000 apps on it. It's a lot different time.
• 16:41
  And what kind of apps would they use on a small device that they
• 16:44
  don't really want to interfere with your life?
• 16:46
  We'll see. We'll see in the future.
• 16:47
  But this project is still in his formative stages, of course,
• 16:50
  with various ideas being considered the complexity of
• 16:53
  creating a new device. Category.
• 16:54
  This is everything. It's a whole new thing means
• 16:56
  that the venture might take years to materialize into a
• 16:59
  market ready product and this could be a long term vision
• 17:02
  behind this initiative. Ivy's concerns about the
• 17:04
  addictive nature of smartphones and their unintended
• 17:07
  consequences have been well documented.
• 17:09
  That's why he's going forward with this venture, this project
• 17:11
  with Open AI. Offers a chance to address these
• 17:13
  issues, but. Developing a less screen
• 17:15
  dependent method of interaction, potentially mitigating some of
• 17:19
  the negative aspects of modern technology use.
• 17:22
  Elon Musk and SpaceX have been building Starship down at
• 17:26
  Starbase. For the last few years, this is
• 17:30
  the 4th flight coming up and it's possibly going to be
• 17:32
  happening in the next few weeks. There are some things that Elon,
• 17:36
  SpaceX has to do in order to make this flight successful.
• 17:39
  Flight 1-2 and three were pretty successful in the whole grand
• 17:43
  scheme of things. They have to do basically the
• 17:45
  same thing as flight 3. Clear the pad hot staging.
• 17:49
  They have to do a boost back burn for the booster and they
• 17:52
  have to possibly soft land the booster in the Gulf of Mexico.
• 17:56
  Now, Elon Musk just recently said that if Flight 4 goes well,
• 18:01
  Flight 5, they're going to try to land the Starships booster
• 18:05
  back at the Starbase launch facility.
• 18:07
  You have to be kind of skeptical about what Elon says.
• 18:11
  SpaceX is amazing, but you have to understand that some of the
• 18:15
  expectations that Elon sets are way high compared to the
• 18:20
  actuality of the situation. So if they do land soft land the
• 18:25
  booster in the Gulf of Mexico, there's a possibility that
• 18:29
  Flight 5 could see them landing it on land at the launch
• 18:35
  facility at the tower. Think about that for a second.
• 18:39
  What could happen if this goes wrong?
• 18:42
  Boost back, burn, flip, maneuver, everything goes great
• 18:46
  for the booster. The ship is still flying through
• 18:50
  to orbit and doing its thing, which is a whole other
• 18:53
  conversation, but if the booster does make it back to.
• 18:58
  A. Soft landing in the Gulf of
• 19:00
  Mexico, they're doing basically a virtual landing with the
• 19:04
  booster and the catch arms and the tower.
• 19:07
  So basically you have a landing spot in the Gulf of Mexico that
• 19:11
  they've partitioned off, so to say.
• 19:14
  That will be a tower, and they'll go through the maneuvers
• 19:17
  of the booster hovering in the catch arms not physically
• 19:21
  closing. There's no catch arms out there
• 19:23
  on the Gulf, but they will stay there for a certain amount of
• 19:25
  time. They'll hover down, slow hover
• 19:27
  down to the catch arms, and when the arms catch it, slowly
• 19:31
  release the engines engine shut off and then from there the
• 19:37
  booster. Will fall into the Gulf of
• 19:38
  Mexico. And that would be fantastic.
• 19:40
  If they could do that, Flight 4, that would be fantastic.
• 19:44
  But think about it like this. What happens if Flight 4 was an
• 19:48
  anomaly? What happens if Flight 4 was
• 19:51
  just, like, good luck? Like it?
• 19:53
  Of course, engineering is great. I love engineering, and I love
• 19:56
  the engineers of SpaceX. I know a few of them and they're
• 19:58
  great people. But what if this was one of
• 20:01
  those things that they just got everything right this time and
• 20:05
  maybe next time? It's not so perfect.
• 20:08
  That's happened before with SpaceX.
• 20:10
  They've done this before. They've had numerous boosters
• 20:14
  land for Falcon Nine in a row and everything looked great.
• 20:18
  All of a sudden a booster lands tips over, blows up and same
• 20:22
  thing could happen with Starships booster.
• 20:24
  Now mind you, the fuel that would have been spent on the
• 20:28
  boost back, burn and flying back and hovering would basically
• 20:32
  deplete most if not all of the fuel in the booster.
• 20:36
  So the booster itself not really explosive, not as much as say a
• 20:41
  Falcon Nine. They also use different kind of
• 20:43
  fuels. The fuel in the booster for
• 20:45
  Starship is not as explosive or combustible as the Falcon 9.
• 20:51
  So Starships booster probably not going to explode if it does
• 20:55
  land on the catch arms and something happens to it.
• 20:59
  But mind you, The thing is made out of basically a tube of
• 21:05
  shrapnel. It's a 250 foot tall stainless
• 21:09
  steel tube full of electronics, full of motors, wiring, things
• 21:15
  like that. And you got to think what would
• 21:17
  happen if they did get it over land, if they got it over the
• 21:21
  tower and something were to happen to it.
• 21:23
  Shrapnel everywhere. And I'm, I don't like to say
• 21:26
  things like that. I don't want that to happen.
• 21:29
  What I want to happen is this thing to be completely
• 21:32
  successful on flight 4 and then on flight 5 I want them to land
• 21:36
  it perfectly at the catch arms at the tower.
• 21:39
  Everything is great, but there is a possibility, a small
• 21:43
  possibility. The four is anomaly and five
• 21:45
  works. Elon is happy with flight 4 and
• 21:48
  it landing in the Gulf and to go on to flight 5 and to land at
• 21:52
  the tower. I'm totally fine with that, but
• 21:55
  I don't see it happening for flight 5.
• 21:57
  Elon said if this happens in Flight 4 too, by the way.
• 22:00
  He said that in the latest Starship talk you can see it on
• 22:03
  the channel. Go check it out.
• 22:04
  But. If I don't know what do you
• 22:07
  think, let me. Know in the comments down below
• 22:08
  I want to have a conversation about this because I don't
• 22:12
  nobody really knows what's going to happen for flight 4 because
• 22:15
  nobody really we know like the flight pattern it's got to be
• 22:17
  similar to flight 3. As far as we know, the only
• 22:20
  thing few things that are going to be different but one of the
• 22:22
  major things is Elon wants to make sure that the Starship is
• 22:28
  at basically burn up temperature, can land it in the
• 22:33
  Indian Ocean, possibly self detonated over the Indian Ocean.
• 22:37
  They do have a bunch of flights planned out and they do have
• 22:40
  combustion warnings over the Indian Ocean.
• 22:43
  So is the possibility that they do land the Starship and that's
• 22:47
  the big one, that's the big one they want to do the booster and
• 22:51
  landing in the Gulf of Mexico also a big deal about this.
• 22:54
  So those two things are the huge deals for the next Starship
• 22:58
  flight. So if they can get Starship
• 23:01
  through the atmosphere so it doesn't burn up, they have to
• 23:06
  get it to an extreme temperature, the most extreme
• 23:09
  temperature than Starship has ever faced.
• 23:12
  And if they do that, this mission will be a success.
• 23:16
  If they don't do the boost back burn and the booster landing at
• 23:19
  the tower or at the imaginary tower in the Gulf of Mexico, I
• 23:24
  think that's going to be OK. But Elon says, of course they
• 23:28
  want to do that. They want to make sure that it
• 23:30
  all works out. We'll see.
• 23:31
  I don't know. Let me know because I'm torn
• 23:33
  here. I don't think they should rush
• 23:34
  it. I think they should do 5 perfect
• 23:38
  flights of the booster. I know they only have up to 9
• 23:41
  flights every year for the Starship, so I guess they're
• 23:45
  going to go. They got to go for it, right?
• 23:47
  It seems like they just have to take some chances here.
• 23:50
  Now I want to go back to the shrapnel part of it as well.
• 23:53
  The whole booster is stainless steel.
• 23:56
  The whole thing is super sharp if you think about it.
• 23:59
  If something goes awry, something goes haywire and they
• 24:04
  explode the booster for some reason.
• 24:05
  Shrapnel everywhere. There's pipes, there's tubes,
• 24:09
  there's wiring, there's harnesses, there's vehicles.
• 24:13
  Whatever is around the Starship launch facility could get
• 24:17
  extremely damaged. Think about just imagine a
• 24:21
  shrapnel piece this large ripping through part of a launch
• 24:26
  tower. I know they have cladding on it,
• 24:29
  I know they have protection on it, but some parts are not
• 24:32
  protected as well as others. So there's a possibility, even
• 24:35
  if it's a slim possibility, that some of the ground systems could
• 24:39
  get damaged if they try this on flight 5.
• 24:43
  That's my real big concern is the ground systems at Starbase
• 24:48
  and how fast would they be able to rebuild them.
• 24:50
  They probably have other parts. It seems like they would have
• 24:54
  other parts there, replacement parts, or they can ship them in
• 24:57
  or build them or whatever. But it seems like SpaceX may be
• 25:01
  taking this risk a little bit too lightly.
• 25:05
  If Flight 4 is perfect again, let me know in the comments down
• 25:09
  below. I want to know what you think
• 25:11
  because I'm torn here. I would love this to work.
• 25:14
  I would love for the spectacle, the absolute spectacle of Flight
• 25:19
  5 to. Land.
• 25:21
  On the tower, catch arms. Lower it down, refurbish the
• 25:25
  booster possibly and fly it again.
• 25:28
  That would be amazing. I don't think the flying again
• 25:30
  is going to happen, but if they catch it, they lower it down.
• 25:33
  That would be fantastic. I would love it.
• 25:36
  I would absolutely love that. And I think there's a
• 25:39
  possibility I but still I need your comments.

• 26:39
  Tesla has initiated the deployment of its latest full
• 26:42
  self driving software version, or the FSD.
• 26:45
  This is version 12.3. .4 which is a pretty OK update for Tesla
• 26:52
  and they're driving assistance systems, you know it caught
• 26:56
  attention by electric vehicle enthusiasts, Tesla owners,
• 27:00
  especially legacy model owners on this update.
• 27:03
  And positive feedback has started with the Tesla
• 27:06
  community, particularly from those who have received the FSD
• 27:09
  supervised 12.4 or 12 point 3.4 update.
• 27:14
  So the initial reactions here suggest an enhancement in the
• 27:17
  system's performance and capabilities.
• 27:19
  This is contributing to the growing anticipation and
• 27:22
  discussion among all Tesla owners, but especially older
• 27:26
  Tesla owners. Older model Tesla owners.
• 27:29
  Now this is an unexpected development with this extension
• 27:32
  of this update to older Model S and Model X update vehicles.
• 27:36
  Now the legacy vehicles here equipped with earlier versions
• 27:39
  of Tesla's hardware have been included in the rollout
• 27:42
  providing they have undergone the MCU 2 upgrade.
• 27:47
  Now, this decision by Tesla extends the benefits of the new
• 27:49
  FSD version to a broader range of its fleet of vehicles.
• 27:53
  Now, the software tracking platform, not a Tesla app,
• 27:57
  disclose the release notes for the FSD supervised version 12
• 28:01
  point 3.4 within the 2024 three .15 update.
• 28:06
  Interestingly, these notes mirrored those of its
• 28:08
  predecessor, 12 point 3.3, indicating a continuity in the
• 28:13
  features and improvements offered by the FSD system.
• 28:16
  Which has moved beyond its beta phase.
• 28:19
  Now, Tesla's own description of the FSD capabilities shows that
• 28:23
  they're getting more sophisticated while emphasizing
• 28:26
  the necessity for driver vigilance.
• 28:29
  The company states. Under your supervision, Full
• 28:31
  self driving supervised can drive your Tesla almost
• 28:34
  anywhere. It will make lane changes,
• 28:36
  select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate
• 28:39
  around other vehicles and objects, and make left and right
• 28:41
  turns. You and anyone you authorized
• 28:44
  must use additional caution and remained attentive.
• 28:47
  Does that make your vehicle autonomous?
• 28:49
  Do not become complacent. Now, this is different from
• 28:54
  older releases where they don't mention a lot of this stuff.
• 28:57
  They don't mention a lot of supervised driving here.
• 29:03
  So they're may basically saying, hey, you have to be in control
• 29:08
  of your vehicle, but also we're going to take control of your
• 29:10
  vehicle at the same time. Be attentive, Do what you got to
• 29:12
  do. Pretend you're kind of driving,
• 29:14
  but just stay aware of what's happening now.
• 29:17
  Do not become complacent. That's important here now.
• 29:20
  Meanwhile, Tesla Scope, another software tracking service, has
• 29:23
  reported some technical hitches with the 20243.15 update, noting
• 29:27
  a higher than usual rate of installation failures.
• 29:30
  And Tesla is reportedly aware of these issues, is actively
• 29:33
  working on rectifying them, offering reassurance to affected
• 29:37
  drivers. No one's been bricked yet
• 29:40
  Everything looks OK. It's just going to take a little
• 29:42
  while to roll out some other people.
• 29:44
  Now, the new iteration of the FSD system I've seen in action
• 29:47
  in early footage shows notable advancements in its ability to
• 29:51
  navigate complex urban environments.
• 29:53
  This is huge. This is exemplified by a video
• 29:57
  from a season FSD tester which showcases the system refined
• 30:01
  navigation capabilities through city streets and people are
• 30:05
  posting videos all over the place on social media about this
• 30:08
  and it is looking pretty good for Tesla.
• 30:11
  Now. Tesla's roll out of FSD 12 point
• 30:13
  3.4 is part of a broader strategy to enhance its
• 30:16
  vehicle's autonomous driving capabilities.
• 30:19
  The inclusion of this update in the 20243.15 package extend FSD
• 30:24
  access to older Model S and Model X vehicles as well as
• 30:27
  newer Model 3, signaling a significant expansion of the
• 30:31
  tech across Tesla's lineup. Now the Cyber Truck remains an
• 30:34
  exception in Tesla's current portfolio regarding FSD
• 30:38
  accessibility. Given its recent introduction
• 30:40
  and ongoing production ramp up, the absence of FSD in the Cyber
• 30:45
  Truck aligns with expectations for newer model integrations.
• 30:48
  The transition from FSD beta to supervised with the previous 12
• 30:53
  point 3.3 update set the stage for the broader application of
• 30:56
  the technology, including its availability for older vehicle
• 30:59
  models. Now this move shows that Tesla's
• 31:03
  continuously improving and expanding the reach of its
• 31:06
  autonomous driving technology, but also putting a little bit
• 31:10
  more into the driver's hands, making sure that they don't say
• 31:16
  that full self driving is actually autonomous driving.
• 31:20
  So you have to have a heads up supervised, you have supervised
• 31:23
  driving here. This goes against everything
• 31:25
  about full self driving that Tesla has been spouting about
• 31:29
  for the last. Decade or so that they could get
• 31:35
  these vehicles to full. Self driving capabilities
• 31:39
  possibly sometimes, Elon has said within a year, but that
• 31:42
  that was four years ago. So the transition for for the
• 31:46
  FSD beta to supervise with the previous 12 point 3.3 update set
• 31:52
  the stage for broader application of the technology.
• 31:55
  Of course, including those older vehicles and the improvements to
• 32:00
  Tesla's auto part feature and its expansion to vehicles
• 32:03
  equipped with ultrasonic sensors or USS, has been met with
• 32:07
  patience by owners. Focus of the latest update
• 32:10
  appears to be on broadening the availability of FSD version 12.
• 32:14
  To more vehicles. Rather than enhancing specific
• 32:16
  features such as auto park, now vehicles with USS are poised for
• 32:21
  future enhancements not only in auto park functionality but also
• 32:24
  in high fidelity park assist features.
• 32:27
  These advancements were previously introduced to
• 32:30
  vehicles lacking USS, indicating A phased approach to future
• 32:34
  development. Now a significant technology
• 32:36
  leap in the FSD supervised system is integration of a
• 32:39
  single end to end neural network for city street driving.
• 32:43
  This network, trained on vast amounts of video data, replaces
• 32:47
  hundreds of thousands of lines of traditional coding, marking a
• 32:51
  pivotal shift in how Tesla approaches autonomous driving
• 32:54
  software development. They're using AI to study all of
• 32:58
  these vehicles in the streets, all of the driving, and getting
• 33:02
  rid of hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
• 33:05
  That was a software developer myself.
• 33:07
  I can understand trying to get rid of code and sometimes it's
• 33:10
  impossible. Luckily Tesla has very smart,
• 33:13
  very capable people that can train the neural networks and
• 33:18
  learn, teach the cars church, teach the full self driving, how
• 33:23
  to drive in the cities with just video.
• 33:27
  Now Tesla reiterates the operational guides for the FSD
• 33:30
  supervised feature and they need driver engagement and oversight.
• 33:34
  With this one system is designed to be activated easily and can
• 33:37
  be disabled as needed, ensuring user control and safety.
• 33:42
  Now the Auto Park feature now enhanced offers updated parking
• 33:46
  capabilities, including parallel parking.
• 33:49
  That's a good one. I'm not that good at parallel
• 33:51
  parking, so when I get my hands on a Tesla with parallel parking
• 33:55
  features, Auto park. Wow.
• 33:57
  That's going to be a game changer for me.
• 33:58
  This feature identifies potential parking spots and
• 34:01
  guides the vehicle into them, further showcasing Tesla's
• 34:04
  advancements for the FSD and people like me who are horrible
• 34:08
  at parallel parking. I've tried so many times and it
• 34:10
  just doesn't work. I can't figure it out.
• 34:15
  Now. There's visual cues.
• 34:16
  Now they're displaced to identify viable parking spaces,
• 34:19
  with Auto Park suggesting specific spots, which is great.
• 34:22
  This interactive element on the Auto Park system enhances the
• 34:25
  user experience by simplifying the parking process.
• 34:29
  This could really help in bigger cities where there's very little
• 34:32
  parking and where you have to squeeze into those tight spots.
• 34:35
  Maybe Tesla can help with that. We'll see you in the future and
• 34:38
  we'll keep you covered with all the latest news about 12 Point
• 34:43
  3.4 FSD update in the future. Elon Musk's X, which is formerly
• 34:50
  Twitter as we all know, is kind of reverting right now to its
• 34:54
  foundational elements, according to observations from insiders at
• 34:58
  Twitter. A project manager from Twitter
• 35:00
  shows that the efforts to transform X into a significantly
• 35:04
  different platform have not really materialized yet.
• 35:06
  It was a Gaber Excel, and it looks like they're sticking with
• 35:10
  the fundamentals for now. Now remember when.
• 35:13
  Twitter was just Twitter. It was just a social media app.
• 35:15
  You posted it on your wall, posted some photos, posted some
• 35:19
  news with some hashtags, maybe a video, maybe a vertical video if
• 35:23
  you're feeling saucy. And then other people commented
• 35:25
  on it, shared it, liked it, things like that.
• 35:28
  And it seems like this is still the case.
• 35:30
  It's mainly used as a social media site.
• 35:33
  Where you share news, photos, videos.
• 35:35
  And it also seems like X is playing catch up to a lot of
• 35:39
  other social media apps, mainly Facebook.
• 35:41
  Facebook has all the things that Twitter Slash X wants to become
• 35:46
  except for a except for the banking aspect of it.
• 35:50
  They do have like a Facebook feature where you can send money
• 35:53
  back and forth and tip, but they don't have like a bank you can't
• 35:56
  have. It's not a true sense of the
• 35:57
  sense of the word bank which Elon Musk's want.
• 36:00
  Elon Musk wants to integrate into Twitter X, so that's where
• 36:04
  Elon is right now. They're kind of stuck in this
• 36:07
  holding pattern, catching up with everybody else 1st and then
• 36:10
  possibly passing them. But one of the other things that
• 36:13
  they they missed out on is the blue verification checkmarks.
• 36:17
  Some people that were very relevant and you know
• 36:20
  controversial figures or famous people or people with status had
• 36:24
  blue verification checkmarks just by default because they
• 36:28
  were influential and people with substantial verified following
• 36:33
  were very prominent on the platform.
• 36:36
  So Elon Musk recently reattached high profile users to their
• 36:41
  checkmarks. This comes after considerable
• 36:43
  staff reductions as well, including trust and Safety team
• 36:47
  back in 2022. So back then they took away
• 36:50
  checkmarks. They took away the trust and
• 36:52
  safety team. They got rid of everybody.
• 36:54
  They fired hundreds of people from Twitter.
• 36:56
  Total reorg of the place. Now to enforce or to enhance.
• 37:00
  Sorry, Platform Safety X is now reportedly establishing a new
• 37:04
  Content Moderation Center in Texas.
• 37:06
  It has appointed 2 senior executives to lead moderation
• 37:10
  efforts. Now it looks like possibly X is
• 37:13
  going to move operations to Texas.
• 37:16
  This is a shift towards advertiser confidence
• 37:20
  restoration, which waned a lot after the rise in hate speech on
• 37:24
  X slash Twitter after Elon took over.
• 37:26
  Now there's a thing called metaphors.
• 37:28
  David Camp is part of this, and he sees that these developments
• 37:32
  as efforts to win back advertisers who departed due to
• 37:35
  the platform's content management issues.
• 37:38
  In Musk's initial disregard for conventional business practices
• 37:41
  aimed at ad revenue stability is seen as contributing to the
• 37:45
  platform's challenges. Right now, a lot of the
• 37:47
  advertisers left. I think it was 70 some odd
• 37:49
  percent. Of the high profile.
• 37:51
  Advertisers just shut down their accounts, left town and didn't
• 37:55
  advertise on X once Elon took over.
• 37:58
  Now, despite these changes, Musk's erratic communications
• 38:01
  and controversial statements have continued to impact X's
• 38:04
  reputation as a reliable advertising partner, according
• 38:07
  to Camp. Two, it complicates efforts to
• 38:10
  stabilize the platform's revenue.
• 38:11
  Streams and if somebody is head of a company.
• 38:13
  And they're making controversial statements.
• 38:16
  It's difficult for advertisers to get behind that platform
• 38:19
  because they never know what the CEO is going to say.
• 38:22
  Musk has a wild management style, and public statements
• 38:25
  have been contentious, and they're often undermining
• 38:27
  efforts to rehabilitate the platform's image right now.
• 38:30
  And this has led to a persistent loss of ad revenue, millions and
• 38:33
  millions and millions of dollars and challenges in attracting and
• 38:37
  also retaining the advertisers that they.
• 38:39
  Have now the user base. Some are very loyal but.
• 38:43
  Reports indicate a significant decline in X's global user base
• 38:46
  since Musk took over. Musk himself has acknowledged A
• 38:49
  substantial drop in advertising revenue under his leadership as
• 38:52
  well. It's stated on numerous
• 38:54
  occasions, and the effectiveness of reinstating traditional
• 38:57
  verification methods and enhancing content moderation as
• 39:00
  strategies to regain advertiser trust remains uncertain.
• 39:03
  We don't know what's going to happen.
• 39:04
  Elon doesn't know what's going to happen, but maybe there's
• 39:07
  been meetings behind closed doors of what the advertisers
• 39:10
  want. Yakarino may have been talking
• 39:13
  to advertisers, I'm sure she has, about what the advertisers
• 39:16
  want and how they want to protect themselves from Elon and
• 39:20
  his rebel ways. Now the platform's reliance on
• 39:24
  user habituation rather than new feature implementations points
• 39:28
  to challenges in innovation and user engagement.
• 39:30
  I mean, what have we really gotten so far since Elon took
• 39:32
  over, We had to pay for check marks.
• 39:34
  And you? We have Grok, of course, but
• 39:37
  there's other AI chat bots out there that's already been
• 39:40
  already been done. Abd if you will.
• 39:42
  We had higher bitrate video, 4K video, streaming video, which
• 39:47
  they were working on before. Facebook already has it, YouTube
• 39:49
  already has it all their social media networks already have this
• 39:52
  and they already have everything.
• 39:53
  So there's not much more that Elon has added to this in the
• 39:57
  time that he's had Twitter. It's been a few.
• 39:59
  Years now, and he was. Boasting of an everything app,
• 40:02
  banking book, an Uber, all the things that you could do, order
• 40:06
  a pizza, whatever it is. He wanted this to be the
• 40:08
  everything app, but it seems like things have just caught up
• 40:12
  to regular social media sites. Actually, they haven't even
• 40:16
  caught up yet. Elon integrated monetization
• 40:18
  with Twitter with X when you live stream or when you post
• 40:22
  videos was so that was a pretty decent deal.
• 40:26
  Hasn't really attracted many high profile users to the
• 40:30
  platform for that yet. But you know, you never know
• 40:32
  what's going to happen in the next six months with this
• 40:34
  platform. So we've done some tests on on
• 40:37
  the platform and we do get some interactions on X with our
• 40:40
  videos, but nothing like nothing like on our YouTube channel.
• 40:44
  You can check out our YouTube channel at Space News Pod and
• 40:47
  also at the Elon Musk podcast. Now, these comparisons aren't
• 40:51
  just between social media sites here.
• 40:54
  That's around Musk and his other ventures, too.
• 40:57
  Like the Cyber Truck, criticisms of the cyber truck's design and
• 41:00
  functionality mirror concern about Musk's leadership and its
• 41:04
  impact on X2. There are a lot of things wrong
• 41:06
  with a cyber truck when it launched, a lot of things that
• 41:08
  were promised, never delivered. Sort of like full self driving
• 41:11
  promised, never delivered. It's not fully complete.
• 41:14
  It's still. At a A.
• 41:15
  Very. It's in a broad test stages, but
• 41:18
  when Elon said something like, yeah, we'll have full self
• 41:21
  driving in two years, that was 10 years ago.
• 41:23
  So yeah, things that Elon says, he's very optimistic about those
• 41:27
  things. And there are financial
• 41:29
  pressures right now on X as well.
• 41:31
  You know, problematic launches. Tesla stock is actually going
• 41:35
  down because of the things that Elon says.
• 41:37
  Right now, challenges are exacerbated by Musk's personal
• 41:41
  brand, which is increasingly seen as detrimental to business
• 41:44
  interests on X and AT. Tesla and Musk's.
• 41:47
  Approach to platform management, particularly his handling of
• 41:50
  verification changes and content moderation, has sparked
• 41:53
  controversy among the users. Some high profile individuals
• 41:56
  have publicly disavowed unsolicited verification badges,
• 42:00
  emphasizing his disagreement with Musk's policies.
• 42:03
  Now, the issue of unsolicited verification badges.
• 42:06
  If you don't ask for one, if you don't buy one and you get one,
• 42:08
  what? How do you How do you get that?
• 42:10
  It's up in the air. Nobody really knows.
• 42:11
  But it's raised questions about Musk's intentions and the
• 42:14
  criteria for receiving a blue check mark.
• 42:16
  We played for our check mark because it gives us verification
• 42:18
  that we're an actual person. The backlash from users who
• 42:21
  received verification without consent shows that X has ongoing
• 42:25
  struggles with user trust and engagement.
• 42:27
  It shows that they don't have a clear path forward and that
• 42:29
  management doesn't have a clear road map of the exactly what
• 42:32
  they want to do with certain features.
• 42:34
  Now, efforts to clarify the verification process and the
• 42:37
  criteria for premium features have done little to alleviate
• 42:40
  user concerns, though the confusion surrounding these
• 42:42
  policies shows that there are challenges in strategies from
• 42:47
  Elon Musk and the leadership. There at X.
• 42:49
  Now, Musk's latest decision to verify accounts based on
• 42:53
  subscriber count or premium service subscription has been
• 42:56
  met with mixed reactions. This approach to verification
• 42:58
  has been criticized for undermining the original purpose
• 43:01
  of the blue check mark and also alienating some users.
• 43:04
  I think Elon doesn't care about alienating users though.
• 43:06
  I mean, look at some of his posts.
• 43:08
  He alienates probably half of the platform every time he posts
• 43:11
  and legal challenges with Musk includes defamation lawsuits
• 43:14
  stemming from his social media activity.
• 43:16
  And this is personal and professional.
• 43:19
  It's risky, and it could damage X.
• 43:21
  These issues show that Musk's personal persona and his
• 43:25
  business ventures sometimes shouldn't intertwine.
• 43:27
  He likes freedom of speech, though, and he wants X to be the
• 43:31
  platform of free speech. Now, the case brought against
• 43:35
  Musk by Ben Brody, which stems from Musk's unfounded
• 43:37
  allegations on X, shows that legal and reputational hazards
• 43:41
  of Musk's impulsive social media behavior could be a detriment to
• 43:44
  the platform. It's part of a broader pattern,
• 43:47
  controversial actions by Musk that have legal and financial
• 43:50
  implications. Now, Musk also asserts during a
• 43:53
  deposition that X is the most accurate, timely and truthful
• 43:57
  place on the Internet. I don't know if I agree with
• 43:59
  that. I don't know.
• 43:59
  Have you seen? I've seen a lot of bots, seen a
• 44:02
  lot of bots. Those bots are not truthful.
• 44:03
  There are a lot of people saying a lot of things that are not
• 44:06
  factually correct. So the way he says the most
• 44:09
  accurate, timely and truthful place on the Internet, if the
• 44:12
  data doesn't back it up, it's not truth.
• 44:14
  That's all there is to it. I've seen a lot of untruthful
• 44:18
  people or bots. I'm not sure what they are on
• 44:20
  Twitter and I'm not. I'm not here to bash X or
• 44:22
  Twitter or Elon at all. I'm just telling you what I
• 44:25
  know. And you know, I'm here to report
• 44:27
  the I'm here to report. For you.
• 44:28
  That's it. So the dissonance between Musk's
• 44:30
  statements in a platform's reality shows that X is under a
• 44:34
  challenge right now. What are the values of X?
• 44:36
  What are the? Practices of X.
• 44:38
  Something may change, and that's OK You're supposed to move fast
• 44:41
  in tech, move Fast forward, right?
• 44:43
  Fail forward, as they say. So I think Elon's doing good
• 44:46
  work. I just wish there was a road map
• 44:48
  that we could all follow to see when things are going to be
• 44:50
  enhanced and what new things are going to be added.
