elon musk is tweeting.gon en route to space station, rocket landed on drone ship but too hard for survival. i guess that means they crashed. there could be a number of factors. pimm, as you point out, the waves in the atlantic ocean make it difficult to softly lead a rocket ship on the deck of the barge. we will not know the details until they release a video. cory, will you get access to the video even though elon musk has blocked you on twitter? cory: luckily, i have access to the national office telescope. let's not underplay what an incredibly difficult task of this is they are trying to pull off, landing this rocket softly on a floating barge in the middle of the ocean in a way that can be reused in any way. an incredible attempt at something they have done successfully on land but have yet at sea. pimm: what has to happen is you have to be able to guide a rocket that is falling out of the atmosphere onto what is more or less a stationary vehicle floating in the atlantic ocean. so, depending upon the a

elon talked to me about that was a mistake and trying to rein themselfs in over time. in china and tesla, i think tesla thought the market would be stronger. i think everyone thought the market would be a lot stronger. elon is definitely a celebrity of sorts at tesla. so they thought the interest would be there. it hasn't even been close. on the other hand you see this quart he come through with the numbers it has so they're making up for a lot of demand that we expected to come from overseas. cory: finally, james, you mentioned production issue and i think that's an important condition of this company. the global equities researcher has a note about of friends of his who ordered cars or told the cars would not be available until the end of april, and already shipping at the end of march. but that tells me the back log wasn't what it used to be and they don't need to expand production because they have cars or inventories gone from well over $300 million of finished goods. doesn't that tell us there isn't much of a back log and they don't need to increase production ri

elon says that was a mistake and he's trying to rein himself in over time. in china, with tesla tesla thought that margin would be a lot stronger. elon is definitely a celebrity of sorts in tesla so i thought the interest would be there. it hasn't even been closmse on the other hand, you see this quarter come through with the numbers it has. and so they're making up for a lot of demand that we expected to come from overseas. cory: james, you mentioned production issues and that's such an important issue with this company. he's going to note about some friends of his who ordered cars or told that the cars wouldn't be available until the end of april already shipping to the end of march. that tells me that the backlog isn't what it used to be and that they don't need to expand production because they've already got cars. have inventory gone from $300 million of finished goods. doesn't that tell us there isn't much of a backlog? james: it might tell me that i need to find new friends. and i don't know that i have the same priority check that he does. at the end

elon musk live tweeted the whole thing.t landed on the drone ship, but too hard for survival. it looks like falcon landed fine, but excess water cause it to tip over post landing. i spoke to lori garver in washington and our cory johnson about what is next for spacex. lori: people have been trying to take advantage of the reusability of rockets for decades, and i think this is so incredibly close that we will be able to see this happen in one of the next couple of launches. i cannot speculate anymore than elon has. they are looking for more data to come back. the fact that now twice in a row within a couple of months they have found the drone ship -- the barge -- and been able to land on it, too hard for survival, is still a success. let's not forget the rocket itself has launched successfully and it will be docking with the international space section -- station on friday. emily: in case anyone is worried about elon musk, he tweeted he "if this works i am treating myself to a volcano lair." cory: the next time i trip and f

and so the audacity -- look at in elon's career -- to start an electric car company.ple now forget that the one thing you knew in 2005 is you should never start a new car company in the u.s. the other kind of company you knew you should never start would be a rocket ship company. and he is just getting started. he is in his mid-40's? he has another, who knows. here on earth, he has another 30 years.

the limb -- elon wanted to make sure they came to market. stephanie: what is the relationship between the two now? ashlee: google has so much autonomous technology. it is kind of funny because there has been flirtations. i think elon likes to have some independence and larry likes to have it going on. matt: you asked larry about this. we are far from a car company. google does have its own projects in development. what is the likelihood that it does end up competing? ashlee: google went down this different road focusing on the car they have put out so far this little smart car looking thing. i don't think it would compete with where tesla is right now. google seems to be more hesitant about becoming a mainstream carmaker. stephanie: how sensitive is elon musk? ashlee: i think he is a pretty forceful character. he is a very truthful forthcoming guy. he tends to have a clear view on things. not everybody shares that view. you can usually count on it being accurate. people might have a different take on how things play out. stephanie: it was hi

elon musk has referred to it as the missing piece.be used to power homes, businesses, utilities. joining me now is jamie butters joining us from detroit. this is being billed as a very large utility scale battery. what does that mean? jamie: i guess we will find out tonight. it is the same idea as in a home you might want to have a backup battery so you can charge it with solar power or even cheap energy overnight when the rates go down so then you have it to use when the demand is high. so the thinking is a utility could do a similar thing with a relay station where they would juice up a really big battery overnight when not as many people are on the grid and they can sock away some of that energy, a substantial amount so they actually have more energy they can push out through the grid especially industrial customers. all kinds of people are running air-conditioners in southern california. alix: it sounds like an awesome idea. what cost would be associated with this? the batteries are so expensive. jamie: right, usually more expensi

elon plays a high risk and high-stakes game.an see this went right down to the wire and he rolled the dice on this one and it actually came out in tesla's favor. we could be talking about tesla as a division of google just as easily. cory: in the same conference call where he did not let on there were any problems and did not tell investors the factory was shot, he also's head things were fine in terms of reservations. i know a lot of investors had figured this out and these questions were specifically in this form so he would try to tell the truth, and he said, we have enough reservations right now to fill out the year. literally, we could say goodbye to every store and every salesperson and meet our target. you are saying that was not true. they had to tell every hr person and every factory worker and every person. >> it is like you say. it is a linguistic game of sorts. preorders of people standing in line. i think the number was huge. and then converted that to the sales was the tricky part. >> i cannot wait to read more of

if elon sold this for $6 billion, it would have hardly been a failure.ouldn't have been the $26 billion company it is now. some would argue, that's an insane price for this. given that facebook bought it for 19 billion and google loves batteries and solar panels, this would have been the what's app. >> urban discovery, right? >> yeah, and they ended up going into the self-driving car market. may have been further along at this point had they done the tesla deal. >> groupon was that a $6 billion offer from google? all were buffed $6 billion deals. >> the groupon was a government thing. i think they really wanted to do that deal, and just didn't feel they could get it through anti-trust approval. google tries to do less things that gets caught up in all of this stuff. >> this anecdote is from a book about elon musk that is set to come out soon. it's in bloomberg, and the quote about this said paige said when google considered buying tesla, a car company is far from what google knows. >> and how much, how much times change, right? apple wasn't going to make

elon musk said imagine if you had to throw an airplane after every flight no one would ever fly.unch a few minutes later, the first booster would fall away and then if all went well the rocket would be guided to a floating barge in the atlantic where it would be rided and land. when this happens, it will be spacex's second attempt. if its first attempt in january, the rocket's guiding fins ran out of hydraulic fluid. that is not supposed to happen this time. there should be plenty of rocket fluid. the next launch window is tomorrow at 4:10. there's a less than 50% chance it will succeed but an 80% chance it will succeed by the end of the year. they're going to keep trying. we wouldn't know right away even if it launches if spacex succeeds or not. nass is won't be monitoring that part of the mission. once that lower stage falls away, nasa is like good-bye we don't care about you anymore. it follows what happens with the upper stage and the spacecraft bringing cargo to the space station, including an espressomaker. as this is happening, what could be an historic attempt to recover

so i'll do elon musk and steven hawking and winston churchill. i interviewed elon musk. i was on stage with him. i admire the way elon musk is doing inknow vacation because it's easier to do innovation in the information technology and digital space because there's less regulation. you can do it in a garage or dorm room, create facebook or apple. but doing something like cars or batteries or rocket ships, that requires a larger degree of collaboration and a higher degree of difficulty because we have so many regulations it's hard to innovate in those fields. so his ability to think outside of the box is something i deeply admire. stephen hawking. stephen hawking is somebody i've also deeply admired and we wrote about in and i spend time dealing with at "time magazine." he takes a -- a strange thing about einstein's theory of general relativity, which einstein was uncomfortable with at first, if the equations are true you could have black holes. all of a sudden, even gravity -- everything comes in on itself and like asing singularity and stephen hawking hemmed us understa
