<v Speaker 2>to you by P and C Bank, a lot of

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure they

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 2>definitely can be, but understanding of professionals routine shows us

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>how they achieve their success little by little, day after day.

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 2>It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>your bank, but keeping your money boring is what helps

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.640

<v Speaker 2>Member FDIC.

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so, SpaceX they are considering selling shares at a

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>two hundred billion dollar valuation. Smart, So, hey, what's your

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on that? And then be how will SpaceX affect Tesla?

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>And which one of those two companies is actually the

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>company to invest in if you can actually invest in

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>invest in it?

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I love them when you guys peak this post up.

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.239
<v Speaker 3>I think if we can be very honest and starlink

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 3>are the two better companies. I know he can't walk away,

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 3>but if I were Eline, I were trying and find

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 3>the CEO, I would be chairman of Tesla and focus

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.239
<v Speaker 3>on SpaceX and Starlink. I think a lot of people

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 3>think because he owns all of the companies, that's gonna

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 3>directly benefit Tesla. Maybe, but unless they are acquired and

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.399
<v Speaker 3>put into one parent group or parent company, I don't

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 3>think this will affect Tesla positively how people are hoping

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 3>it will be. But I do think Starlink and SpaceX

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 3>are like promising businesses. If he is focused, Elon could

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 3>be like a icon, like if he could find a

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 3>little bit more help and make the right hire. So,

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 3>but I don't think so someone asked me to do it.

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 3>I see a thirty percent bump in Tesla if this

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 3>becomes public, No, if you can invest in it on

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 3>a private markets, please do so. I think it's going

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>to be a revolutionary company, but I don't think this

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 3>is going to drag up thirty percent And it's never

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 3>a good sign, like if you need another company to

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 3>raise the value of the one that's been in the dumps.

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 3>So no, But what do you guys think?

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to give a shout out to Ayshabo, who

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>is alumni of or Inalasia Rocket Scientists and gave us

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 2>great information on space exploration and the cost of it

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and the innovation that comes with being inside that space.

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>But then I want to look at what history has

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 2>shown us when it comes to Elon, especially when he

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>has multiple companies. And so when I look back to

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>when he was going to acquire Twitter, which is not

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 2>x Y, what effect did that have on.

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Tesla negativl all right, and a.

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Lot of it. And you brought up the word focus

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>was because of the amount of focus that was taken

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>away from the company that he was putting into the

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 2>capital that it took to get that to buy the

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 2>company and then change it and rebranded, and so Tesla

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 2>consequently suffered a little bit. Space says again, I think

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a great company if you can get into it,

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 2>but I'd be interested to see how people view it.

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Will they view it in the same manner where yeah,

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a great company, we know with the evaluation that

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 2>is super high. Does he have the time and focus

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 2>and energy to put into this space and will it

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>affect the Brandon brother which has been testled over the

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:44.799
<v Speaker 2>past five years.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>So Tesla all right, the most important company in his

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>portfolio moving forward in the next decade, is Norlink. The

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>next the next most important company it is Startlink. The

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>next most important company is Space X. The next most

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>important company is Twitter X and the next most important

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>company is Tesla. So right there and my power ranking

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>of Elon Muss's portfolio, which is extremely impressive portfolio. I

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>have Tesla as the as the as the the fifth one.

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Now Tesla and X they can kind of be interchanged.

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe X is the is the fifth and Tesla is

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the fourth. But I don't see how Tesla. I don't

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>see how Tesla really changes the world. Right where you

0:05:55.279 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of other your car companies, right, but

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>there's not too many companies that can actually put a

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>chip inside your brain and move a computer mouse and

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:14.280
<v Speaker 1>is the possibilities with neuralink is is unbelievable. And then Starlink.

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean we were in Ghana and they lost the

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>internet for a week and they were like as soon

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>as they lost the internet, and all these Starlink trucks

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.919
<v Speaker 1>started coming in and people with money started to get Starlink.

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So you look, you're talking about like really supplying. There's

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>no reason why my phone is like dropping calls, And

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why FaceTime audio always works, but regular

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>audio doesn't work, right, Why don't you just put the

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>FaceTime audio as the regular audio, right Apple and license

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>it out yep. So it's like, you know, he's got

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>this Starlink thing is going to be big, and then

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have questions about SpaceX, like, well,

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>what does the company do? Well, what is the point

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.719
<v Speaker 1>in SpaceX? Like, you know, it's more than just traveling

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to out of space took about like satellites that actually

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of in tandem with starlink, but space exploration

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>has more purposes than just traveling to the moon, right,

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>But I think that he's positioned with SpaceX to potentially

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>do some big things. And Twitter is still important because

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>is a media company and they have billions of people.

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Worst acquisition ever though he paid too much money for it,

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>for sure. There's a few others. But yeah, well I

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>just look at Tesla. I just look. I don't know

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>how Tesla what makes them so special? Right, is like

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>at first they were synonymous with electric cars, but that's

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>going away. Everybody has an electric car at this point.

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't see. I don't think Tesla

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>changes the world, right, I got a proposal about Tesla

0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>needs to merge.

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>But is a position to that question, what is funding

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>those companies?

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Like, he doesn't have the capital to get Twitter without Tesla.

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Most of his wealth is tied to the stock of Tesla,

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 2>and so it becomes the funding arm. That's why he

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>liqu with his shares and every market team, because he's

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to innovate someone else. And so from that standpoint

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>it becomes super important because bag At, I mean, I

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 2>get that far.

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying to him, he's far past the fundraising. Now

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>his own money liquid it. He could raise a billion

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.439
<v Speaker 1>dollars and any given Tuesday he can go to Saudi

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Arabia and get a hundred billion dollars. He can go

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>having that's the importance of Tesla, It's the importance of

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>being Elon Musk Musk. And he's never gonna have a

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>problem raising money. That's never going to be He's proven.

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.239
<v Speaker 1>So whatever if Elon Musk wants to start a chipmunk

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 1>manufacturing company today that actually manufacturing people did one hundred

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars to borrow from the Prince of Saudi Arabia

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.319
<v Speaker 1>and a bunch of other rich people from all over

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.959
<v Speaker 1>the world, let alone Black Rock and all of these

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>different private equity So that's it.

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 2>But that's what I'm saying from a standpoint of private equity.

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Right when he wanted to get Twitter, where do you

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>have to get the capitol?

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 3>He had to look with it. But I think that's

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 3>because the bad investment. It was he literally bought at

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 3>the top and.

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 2>That was a bad Yeah he bought that, Yeah, right,

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 2>but you still had to liquidate some of that company that.

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>He a stof.

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 3>But they're also pushing back on that conversation package that

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 3>he wanted for fifty six billion. That's that's interesting because

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 3>it's hard to liquidate that much capital when the stock

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.679
<v Speaker 3>is down and your shareholders are getting run into the ground.

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 2>So, I mean, you're talking about a guy for everything

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 2>you named, Like, think about the impact that that one

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 2>human being has had that in the world, Like from

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 2>everything your name, on top of being one of the

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:02.559
<v Speaker 2>co founders of.

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 1>We can't forget PayPal, I.

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Mean get I'm talking about like had to be like

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 2>you're the co founder of that.
