okay so today I'm going to be talking about Elon Musk
and he's always in the news really so in
this video I thought it would be
interesting just to ask who is Elon Musk
and explain little bit about him so I'm
Oh break the video into his background
then I'll talk about what he does now
and his involvement in technology and
then I'll talk about why he's been in
the news more recently okay so first of
all Elon Musk is this and billionaire
he's a tech entrepreneur and billionaire
one of the richest men in the world he
was born in South Africa and from there
he went to Canada and eventually ended
up in America and in Silicon Valley
during the dot-com boom so in the words
of 90s and early 2000s and while he was
very he established paypal which is the
company that he founded and is really
where he made a huge amount of his money
so paypal has allowed him to do lots of
other exciting innovative projects so
that was really what how he made his
fortune he's also you know always been
in the news because of his personal life
so he was married to a British actress
and they've filed for divorce a couple
of times and never gone through with us
he has triplets and twins with this
woman and he was linked to Amber Heard
after she broke up with Johnny Depp so
he's just always been involved in kind
of gossipy and items in the news as well
and he's also i suppose always been very
throughout his background been very
interested in I mean in a way kind of
almost like science fiction so he's
always believed that a human colony
could be made on Mars he believes in
some ways after the earth could be a
simulation and that were still living
and on different planets kind of like a
matrix so he some of you has really
really ride eias and is very interested
in the future of mankind okay so wasn't
he do now so he's involved in a huge
number of projects he is very
to the environment and a lot of his
projects reflect that so for instance he
owns the and technology or electronic
company called Tesla who produce these
really really expensive electronic cars
and some of them I think are also
self-driving are there they're trying to
develop self driving technology so Tesla
is his company and it is dedicated by
supposed to 2m finding means of
transport that don't rely on on fossil
fuels he's also one of the founders of
space X which is a privatized space
exploration company and he has I suppose
for a huge amount of his fortune into
the the innovation and technology at
SpaceX and he also has plans to develop
an electronic jest that would be called
the mosque electronic jesh and he has
this transport system called a Hyperloop
he's got this kind of future city plan
so he have all of these different ideas
and in technology around and more
sustainable I guess technology for
transport and living and just mankind in
general so he has been very successful
though in a loss of these companies I
think this kind of brings me on to the
final point which is why he's been in
the news so first of all he's been in
the news because Tesla although it has
had a fracture as enough development and
so like last year they didn't produce
enough cars like they were supposed to
there's been a couple of accidents with
self-driving cars but in the last couple
of days it's had an incredibly good
performance on the stock market it smell
you'd at a higher price I think than
forge so it's become the second most
valuable and car company in the United
States and it's been achieving all of
its production goals it's just about
launched a new model i think the model
tree which will be a much more
affordable price of thirty-five thousand
dollars and it's really I just you know
I suppose climbing the heights of
success and he has been lauded
throughout the industry for its success
now some people do think that it's been
overvalued and there has been lots of
criticism about the valuation Amish but
he had fought back against those critics
and said that the valuation is based on
future projection rather than past
performance so Tesla has done very very
well in addition to this just last week
the SpaceX program again something that
have had several incidents in the past
and there's been crashes and some failed
attempts the SpaceX program has also
been reaching new heights in the last
number of days so last week for the
first time ever they reused a rocket
launcher which apparently is like an
amazing innovation that you can actually
reuse some of the equipment which
previously you couldn't so that was seen
as a great achievement in the industry
and and everyone has been has been very
excited by this so Elon Musk has also
never said whether he's either
Republican or a Democrat he's really a
school somewhere in the middle but he
has been advising Donald Trump and has
met with Donald Trump and I think he
believes that you know you can do more
by helping the president rather than
criticizing him so he's also been in the
news because of his links is great
thanks to the White House another reason
he's been in the news is because he's
one of these silicon valley tech
entrepreneurs who doesn't believe that
death is an inevitability he thinks you
know that maybe debt is just another
problem to be solved so he is very
interested in immortality and developing
technology around immortality and he is
also another one of these entrepreneurs
who's bought land in New Zealand because
they're worried about
an apocalypse happening and so he he's
kind of kind of like a futurist from
that point of view and he still very
much believe in this prospect of planets
becoming maybe sources of new power for
human so phases that could be mind also
that Mars as I said could be a site for
a human colony so he really believes in
things that we may have previously
considered to be science fiction and
blush in the future and maybe won't be I
think it's you know it's important to
know about these people because it seems
like more and more these tech
entrepreneurs are getting involved in
space exploration so he's ingest base of
the Amazon and fender came out recently
and said that he was putting a huge
amount of his fortune into a space
research so I think that this in Sofia
may be the next big thing I guess I
don't know and what's written is very
interesting to watch checking on houses
past main characters and this as 10
platform or more vulnerable as you
murdered i think is immense
elections so I hope you give an
introduction to heaven thanks very much
protection video hope I see you soon
