• 5:42
  changers, 2016. Now, everything that Elon Musk
• 5:47
  does Is important. The things that he's working on
• 5:51
  our huge, huge problems, the boring company, making
• 5:56
  Transportation easier, stopping congestion with the, you know,
• 6:01
  vehicles on highways. You don't want to take a vehicle
• 6:04
  all the way to, from point A to point B.
• 6:07
  Right? Maybe that's not the best way to
• 6:08
  do it. We have subways now but they're
• 6:11
  not efficient. You can't drive your car out of
• 6:14
  the subway. That's what the boring company
• 6:17
  is all about. It's about getting people.
• 6:19
  From A to B, in a very fast manner, safely under cities and
• 6:26
  stopping. The congestion of traffic Tesla.
• 6:30
  Tesla is about making sustainable Vehicles a thing.
• 6:35
  Okay. So the future of of course, the
• 6:38
  future of vehicles is V's, we don't want to be constrained by
• 6:44
  gas anymore. We don't want the oil companies
• 6:47
  to to have Of a that much of an effect on our lives and also on
• 6:53
  the markets and also on our planet.
• 6:56
  So that's what Tesla's doing SpaceX.
• 7:00
  Well, we all know, it's just big, it's huge, go to Mars, send
• 7:05
  people to Mars on your own dime and you know, it's a huge, huge
• 7:10
  deal. These are huge problems and
• 7:13
  because he's solving these problems people are backing him.
• 7:16
  He has investors there's a multi-billionaire that's
• 7:20
  investing in the latest Starship because that multi-billionaire
• 7:25
  wants to take a trip around the moon.
• 7:27
  It's the dear Moon project hashtag dear Moon and if you,
• 7:33
  you know, if you have that kind of money and you can invest that
• 7:37
  into space X, that goes towards elon's wealth, in some way.
• 7:41
  So he is number 23. On the Forbes 400.
• 7:46
  Under the last 20 point 1 billion dollars my friends.
• 7:51
  He's a rich man but the thing is it's not just wasting it, he's
• 7:56
  using his money in his power to do amazing things instead of you
• 8:02
  know just being a Playboy and getting wasted all the time on
• 8:05
  the beach. I mean, if I had 20 point 1
• 8:08
  billion dollars, I don't know what I would do with it.
• 8:11
  I probably wouldn't make a rocket company.
• 8:13
  I wouldn't know how. So luckily this This guy has a
• 8:16
  bunch of money and he also has the drive to do these amazing
• 8:20
