I feel like people need to be slowly coaxed into this type of understanding. The vast majority of people will not understand or want to accept the Actuality video. Some because of close-mindedness, but many, I think, from a lack of broader understanding. The materialist paradigm runs so deep in people's minds, one video isn't going to break it. It's not about stubbornness, its that the truth is so far away from most people's model of reality that it seems ridiculous to even talk about it. It's just ignorance. If your friend was forced to watch Leo's entire back catalogue of videos, she would have a much more nuanced, deeper understanding of the Actuality video. You ain't gonna convince someone the room they're standing in doesn't exist when they close their eyes, with just one video.

I feel like Musk is just so dead-set on his vision that he'll do anything to make it happen. That's why he can pivot so quickly and abruptly. His capacity to just forcefully bring shit into existence is unmatched, but to the detriment of those around him unfortunately. Even the most powerful person in the world, the President of the USA, will be brushed away to the side if he is deemed an obstacle to Musk's vision. The distinction between right and left politics is almost irrelevant to him. He just supports whichever party or person is most conducive for realising his vision as quickly as possible. I think people miss this about Musk. Musk moves and pivots insanely quickly because his only intention is to realise the mission of Tesla and Space X, in my opinion. All of his actions lead back to this. Musk only wants power or political influence so he can realise these visions.

Solid advice there. Just a quick thumbnail, title, hook, and a quick script on a trending topic. Easy as that. So easy and obviously none of the other 2 million creators on Youtube are doing this so you'll be sure to get views. Please tell me you are a regular YouTube creator and not just copy-pasting some generic advice you found online.

Yes I think YouTube have recently changed the algorithm to make it much less likely to see old videos, either through search or through the recommendation algorithm. Many, many creators have had big drop-offs in monthly income (including myself) because their old videos don't get shown any more.

I'm certain YT have recently majorly fucked with the algorithm too. I'm a creator and I've noticed a big shift in views, as have many many other creators I've spoken to. As a viewer, I've noticed an obvious shift in what is being recommended to me. The quality of recommendations has dropped significantly. I might get one interesting video to watch on my recc page, whereas before I was constantly being recommended great content. I've been watching Youtube for probably 13/14 years, and this is the first time ever where I don't enjoy using it much. But YouTube has the monopoly so can't really go anywhere else can we. There are still a lot of great video creators, of course, but I have to really dig to find them. And then when I do watch a good video, it's like my recommendation algorithm doesn't update. There's also been a big influx of AI-generated content on YouTube, even if it's just the thumbnail. I see a lot of hyper-click baity AI-generated thumbnails which have barely any relevance to the video or hyper-exaggerate the video content in some way to get the click.

More stocks in what companies? He doesn't do any private investing beyond his own companies. He's been very explicit about this for years. He may have invested a tiny bit in Bitcoin and DOGE (the cryptocurrency not the government agency), but I could be wrong on that. Musk believes that Tesla will become the most successful company ever. And SpaceX is literally going to Mars. I imagine Musk is holding onto his Tesla stock as tightly as he possibly can. And SpaceX is a private company, there is no stock for him to sell.

He bought Twitter by selling a shit-ton of TSLA stock. I believe he paid the biggest private tax bill ever in history for it. But he also got massive investment from a load of private investors. A quick google search and you can find them. All his donations come from selling TSLA, that's where >90% of his money is.

Yes I know it's on Jeremy Corbell's channel and a lot of people dislike the guy, but the interview is fantastic.

That's a fair point and maybe the only chance Musk or Tesla as a company have to rebuild the brand reputation. Atleast SpaceX was sort of ignored by most of the protests and not really discussed in the news. Atleast from what I saw. The Cybertruck was definitely a mistake. It should have been a special limited release, rather than carving out a whole section of the Austin factory to make a permanent production line, and god knows how many other resources. Saying that, the new Model Y looks fantastic. The new Roadster is in production apparently, but it'll be mega expensive. It's overvalued relative to the entire market. But it's a different conversation when we look at it relative to the electric car market and the projections for how that will grow in the future. Tesla also owns the only half-decent FSD software. The question now is how quickly will China make their own FSD, for a fraction of the price. And what impact will that have on Tesla's current advantage.

I'm genuinely so tired of all this complaining from men. It's just endless victim mindset and mindless unconscious negativity. Every fucking male oriented podcast is men complaining about the advantage of some small % of women or how lonely the modern man is. If you're going through some genuine hardship then obviously I have sympathy and compassion for you. Life IS hard, but not because you are a man. If you have your health, your physicality, and you're not living in some 3rd world country, just get on with life and accept that other people have things easier. You have NO excuse for being bitter and hateful. There's so much to do! So many creative projects to engage with. What are you putting out into the world? Start building something awesome - you'll find a lot of joy and meaning from it. Why are you wasting time lamenting about how unfortunate your life as a man is? It's profoundly absurd. You're conscious! You exist! Do you understand how awesome that is? My life is difficult. I don't get any attention from women. Yet I wake up every day grateful and excited to be conscious. I'd suggest you do the same.

I'm not really referencing or talking about the stock. And trust me I know where the stock is. I've been a TSLA investor for over a decade. I've lived off the TSLA hype and over-valuation for a long time. I've always been sceptical of the Optimus robot. The demos are trash compared to the Boston Dynamics robots, for example. We're decades and decades away from it even being vaguely useful imo. Nor am I arguing that Musk is not a great capitalist and businessman. Obviously he is. I'm saying that the public perception of Musk and Tesla is completely ruined. He is now a neo-Nazi and will always be one. There is no coming back from this. Tesla is now a neo-Nazi funded company. At best, people just associate Musk/Tesla with Trump. Who's gonna' buy a Tesla now? Sales have plummeted. Genuinely tragic.

Musk completely fucked his entire public perception, all of his credibility, and decades of brand respect and popularity with regards to Tesla. All for what? $150 billion in savings? I thought they'd atleast hit the 1 Tril mark and make it sound good. In retrospect that was deeply naive of me to believe. Hasn't Trump just increased the Pentagon spending by a few hundred billion anyway? Tesla is complete shambles. Hundreds of thousands of work hours, 10s of thousands of employees, not to mention a deeply loyal customer base - completely fucked for absolutely nothing. I'm not sure the company can recover at all. Maybe if Musk is fired as CEO and the company makes a public separation from him, it might have a good chance.

Over the past few years and even more so in the past year I've really started to learn the importance of this and WHY it's important. We've always been told to exercise, but I feel like most people don't know why they should be and specifically what kind. People need specific instructions. Society is chronically sedentary. Most people simply just do not put their body under any sort of health strain or tension. I've only recently been educated about healthspan. I'm surprised it's not talked about more. You ask 99% of people what healthspan is and they wouldn't have a clue. Yet it's the primary reason we're supposed to be regularly exercising and doing strenuous exercise! Walking around at your job is not exercise, despite some people's belief. Most people that walk around at a job, even physical labourers, are overweight and have very low VO2 max. I've been aiming to hit atleast 180 minutes of running/biking each week with 20% of those runs being HIIT. And then the other days are weight training with more focus on functional movements and a move away from mindless muscle building.

I genuinely just cringe every time I watch the video. His reputation is permanently ruined at this point. I also feel so sorry for all the people at his companies. Lots of hardworking awesome people leading the teams at Tesla, SpaceX and Neurolink. I see a lot of Tesla vehicles and stores being vandalised recently. It's an insult to those who work at his companies and just care about making great products. The Musk I knew 10 years ago is long gone.

No one is claiming that Musk's products were entirely his ideas. But he was the director, visionary and manager of the teams that produced the ideas. Years ago, well before anyone knew who Musk was, I remember telling my friends that people would eventually completely forget or disregard Musk's efforts in accelerating and massively advancing the transition to electric cars. And here we are. You do not understand the monumental effort it took to create Tesla as we see it today. It is unfathomable. Truly impossible. Think about what it takes to create a company like that. Musk didn't design the Tesla battery pack, or the double cast Model 3 frame, nor the industrial grade air filtration system, but you can be damn sure the car wouldn't exist without him. Electric cars would still be a pipe dream for society if Musk hadn't directed the technological advancements we see today. Steve Jobs didn't design the Apple products. Jonny Ive did, along with hundreds of other designers and engineers. Yet we still credit Jobs as a genuis. Not for his ideas, but his capacity to bring people together, manage, direct and force his vision into existence. Saying all this, Musk is still a majorly flawed and often toxic individual.
