this is the appropriate length for an Elon Musk interview

Elon is the most transparent and honest genius in the history of the world.

He sounds so happy here compared to other podcasts.

Man this guy has so much pressure on him yet he genuinely looks happy and proud of what hes doing despite it being one of the most challenging things ever

Can’t help thinking, Elon is probably one of the most important people alive right now...

Best shareholder meeting i've ever seen! No lawyers or 'yes men', just the CEO with his brother popping in and his mom sorting the pizza. I have never seen a CEO's mother before!

I'm proud to report I've watched virtually every piece of media featuring Elon Musk and this is the most relaxed and engaged I've seen him. 👌

Elon Musk is the Nikola Telsa of this era. I'm glad to be a witness of it. One day I'll be telling my grandchildren about him.

-Inventor of a car fart -Put that on my gravestone That's the CEO we want.

What is impressive about Elon is that though he is almost 50 he speaks, thinks and feels (I am sure he does) like an enthusiastic young man in his 20s. Thank you guys. I loved it.

More people need to watch this. What this man has been able to achieve in "only" 25 years is bonkers.

So this is what it sounds like when people are listening to each other.

I'm so stoked that Elon will drop in and bless a smaller podcast like Third Row. So sick

My wife was reading Maye Musks new book (Elon’s mother). I read it too. It gives a lot of insight into Elon’s life. He really is a normal guy with an extraordinary mind. Good read.

I feel like we’re getting carried by people like Elon, yet no one is helping him. I think we need more people like Elon!

finally some rich dude who still thinks like a genius 14 year old. love this dude

6 geeks staring at the sun trying to find out how it works.

Elon Musk is a living, breathing proof that United States of America is still a place where great dreams can come true...All you have to do is to think up to date, adapt, work hard and always be optimist like him!

I thought I’d seen every Elon interview and then I stumble on this. In his house with his dog! Just wild. Love Elon.

I love the fact that all of them are awkward

3 hours long? damn for a guy like him that's some valuable time spent

What a simple kind of man (of his size) sitting with young people talking about everything... Amazing personality.

Can you imagine any other CEOs of any OEM being as open, honest and transparent as Musk? His stance is what tells him apart from the rest, most of whom would rather continue poisoning the air to maintain profits in the near term. We need more like Musk.

This complex and humble man is absolutely the harbinger of our possible future.

Watching this video reminds me of what our Lord Elon said: "I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary".😉

15 minutes in and we find out Elon lives in Willy Wonka’s old house, which now has a solar glass roof, and there’s a global candy bar oligopoly

Elon is a very intriguing individual. Makes you feel calm and smarter when you listen to his perspective on things.

What's very apparent on this is the scale of risk you need to take to achieve anything of real significance. And the fine line between success and it not working. Had it not worked out, given the size of the risks he'd taken, he'd be lost in oblivion. MASSIVE balls to do what he did. He deserves all the success he's had.

My favorite quote: "There's some pretty deep wizardry at Tesla on this front"

Elon looks like he didn't sleep for two weeks but his brains are just constantly in overdrive

the first 5 minutes make it clear how Elon had been thinking about Twitter in the back of his mind. @ThirdRowTesla, we need an updated interview to this masterpiece!

I see future leaders here. Elon makes me proud of being a human being

Elon speaks like 80% of his brain is solving a complex math equation and 20% of his brain is at the conversation.

All I can focus on in Elon interviews is watching his eyes go up and dart around accessing data in his brain.

Not only is Elon young at heart, he drives me to be young.

The way he talks, you can tell he’s a genius. Like, the stuttering, you can tell he has a lot of ideas in his head and he’s very inventive

This is the best interview/podcast/life story, and the most honest and inspiring one I have ever watched in the past 60 years! Thanks Elon and those who got it done! I listen to everything said or written in the media, and can say, that Elon is just a straight shooter, incapable of not telling the truth. I trust him!

how many CEO of several of the worlds most complex companies will take the time to invite 6 followers to one of his houses and for hrs answer questions at their hearts content ? you have to pay a band to do it after you pay them to preform pro sports figures forget it but Elon sure lets go drink water at my house with my mom and brother for the afternoon

what makes this so enjoyable and informative is that these guys are such great active listeners!

It is 2023. In a period of two months I've watched all of his conferences and interviews , podcasts longer than 30 min. Media is not providing more material to the public. Why is that? Just have Elon Musk more on shows like TED or podcasts or TV interviews, walk thru mega factoris, even his daily routines or have him prep a meal or anything he would like. He is just a wonderful persona of our times. ❤️

He's so much more relaxed on this than he was on Rogan.

Impressive entrepreneur that bases his businesses on math and simple principles.

I loved the family environment of this podcast with his mom and brother chiming in and it its in his house! I would love to party with Elon. I saw how special he was early on and love his values.

I fell asleep listening to this and enjoyed profound dream being an overnight guest with Elon.

2:18:30 Not going to lie - this entire interview was fascinating and worth multiple college courses, but the most heartwarming part was hearing Elon’s mom say lunch was ready ❤️😆❤️

It's great he is giving these interviews. Probably this will be one of the best interviews left by him. I wish, i could watch such interviews of N. Tesla or Einstein, etc... This is really important legacy to leave for the next generations.

I thank Elon Musk everyday for having the courage to accomplish his dreams against all odds. I know I had a discussion with him in the early 2000s about solar panels and electric cars. I had a big hate on for the petroleum industry polluting our world and charging us up the ass for their products. Elon could not believe the simplicity of my plan and thought it was an excellent idea. One we should do and will do one day. Today it is done because he had the guts to do it. I also got asked by someone to join SpaceX not because I have crazy qualifications but because I have a passion to explore space. This was in the earlier days of SpaceX and like Elon I didn't expect it to succeed. Elon Musk has no fear of failure, he has the perseverance to see a normal man's dreams turn into reality. So this time I would like to say I am fully on board with what Elon Musk has on the go. Everything he does he does with so much commitment to better the life of everyone and all humanity. I am an entrepreneur at heart but he is someone I would work for. This is the time and we are the people that will change the world!

You guys are awkward and I'm a introvert and I love this!! It's like a bunch of nerds getting together! Thanks for making this! Hope I get a reply back from Elon! XD

1:23:20 “money is an information system for labor allocation. It has no power in and of itself. It is for guiding people on what they should do.”

I wish I could be in that room listening to this in person. Musk is a hero to many and I appreciate his hard work. It would be an honor to help him change the world.

This was quite an honor for us to get the chance to dig into one of the greatest mind of our time via this session. Ep2 will be much appreciated :)

He is my idol. He gives me hope for a bright future of humanity. I think he already positively changed the world irreversibly and hopefully will have the opportunity to keep on doing so.

So funny to see them brothers. Elon musk then intelligent introvert person and Kimbal musk the charismatic extrovert person, its fun to see that this combination worked out so well, i wonder where Elon would have been today without Kimbal musk and vice versa. Great team.

Elon Musk is the only person I'd dedicate 3+ hours to listen to.

I've never watched a podcast this long and it was worth each minute of my time. Wonderful conversation, I admired the humble beginnings and the willingness to share good and bad experience. My favorite quote Elon Musk : 'I invest only on companies I co-create.'

Jack Ma has left the chat

Probably the most influential man after 2000s. Steve jobs levels here, but multiplied by a factor of 7 (Paypal, Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, TheBoringCompany, OpenAI, Neuralink)

I’m so proud of Elon as if I were his mother!

Elon really got the last laugh @ 3:25 🤣🤣

Round table conference with "Tony Stark"

I feel like i just became a close friend of Elon's after this! Ah we need this man more and more every day! Thanks you guys for doing this!

Elon is our generations greatest treasure. I hope the world recognizes that. A true humanitarian.

I hadn’t seen this interview until just the last couple of nights, couldn’t get it all in one sitting. I enjoyed every second of it though and felt like I learned a lot about Elon Musk as a fellow human.

Where do you ever get a CEO of a large company being open and honest about many things that went wrong, to a small group of people that essentially are just fans. Really impressed by the dialogue of all involved. I wonder what viewers will think of this 100 years from now -maybe even watching it on Mars! We need more engineers!

Amazing! Can’t believe he allocated so much of his time for this and love how he’s so honest.

One of the Best Elon Interviews. Thank you

I had missed this interview (out of many). Who else is watching it now?

The video title should be: six "interviewers" marvel at Elon's greatness for hours

"We want to maximize the happiness of the population and propagate it into the future as far as possible and understand the nature of reality. And from that, everything else follows." - 45:18

Watching this for the second time this year.

Elon’s laugh is infectious. Cool group of people - great podcast. Thank you!

"Gov is not good at running things" 😂

this might not be very original but he's genuinely the only person that can make me excited for the future even though i don't see one for myself- and I'm so fucking thankful for that. i'm so glad he exists

Elon is so so so smart . That’s why we all trust in him .

WOW - maybe the most influential and brightest mind of our time having a real world conversation. If this does not cement your commitment to Tesla, nothing will. Long after I am gone (I am old). history will record, Musk changed the world and is continuing to change the world on the order of Nikola Tesla. It is appropriate he chose the name.

Just awe inspiring. The sheer vision he’s got for the future. He’s also a genuine guy that happens to be a genius. How could one not root for him to succeed, when humanity also succeed as a result.

He is giving out very genuine answers that's why it doesn't sound interesting to many who believes in fake smiles or dramatic gestures...

Elon is the most important person for humankind now. I will protect him with my own life

this is such an insightful look into elons mind and personality. genius futurist, innovator, and humble to his core. great questions as well. thanks for this.

I hope he will stay healthy for at least 50 more years. That would be awesome. The most valuable person in the world, maybe ever.

really like that he thinks before answering questions instead of firing some random shit off

Great podcast! Really enjoyed listening! Was first worried how so many people would be able to talk on one podcast without a lot of overtalk! Barely any tho! Great work

"I don't trust Facebook" is right!

This was some of the best three hours of my year so far. WOW!

You talking with fans etc shows how humble you are money and genius doesn't make you too good to talk to your normal person that's sooo rare and excellent

3:21 that laugh is everything 😂

Four hours, wow, we'll my Sunday is full now.

I love how every time Elon talks, everybody is like in a trance listening. Elon won't be fully appreciated until the future I don't think. Man of the times.

You can definitely tell when Elon hasn’t gotten a wink of sleep

We must protect this man at all costs

I learned more from this over any other interview of Elon musk even more than his biography in some ways .... really good to hear directly from him the challenges he faced with each of his companies and at different stages of each of them from beginning to end ... really well done interview and topics and letting Elon really go deep into everything great work guys!! Lesson I learned is that Elon’s success has a ton to do with tenacity resilience and persistence and less about intelligence or doing things perfectly the very first time. Lot of crazy ups and downs , but most important things amongst others is his framework for thinking and first principles rationale and for the questions formed and unique ways of solving different problems Think first principles, think differently, think rationally, creatively, and find other talented people who you can work with who do the same. And create something needed and lasting and epic together with them. !

I didn't expect that much value I'll get from this podcast ❤️

“And that’s the best that we can do, basically..” 😂 if only it was that easy for people to understand

When Elon Musk says “yeah he’s a very smart guy” I truly wonder how smart that other guy must be

There is no other CEO on the planet who has such depth, knowledge and passion about his company.

I just saw the video congratulations on excellent excellent interview with one of the greatest people of all all time this man will probably be known for saving the planet in the future

This is by far the most insightful interview of Elon.. you have to really know the history to get the depth of it

For people as busy as Elon, I’m surprised that he agreed to do this interview

i love how musk's bro is just siting there

He's such a truthful, caring, funny, straightforward, profound thinking genius. ♡♡♡
