a musk that you could say, okay, temper that with a tempered musk be as successful as a musk unbound and we have that here in washington. you can call it the richard holbrooke phenomenon. whatever it may be, people who are really strong and driven and drive people nuts, can you pull out the dark strands and say what a musk and and still be getting the rockets into orbit? and the answer is no, you don't have to be a jerk or a or whatever, but you have to look at every individual light and dark as a tightly woven fabric. and by understanding them, that doesn't mean you sympathize. that doesn't mean you excuse, but it's really helpful to understand these people. one of the questions relation is do you think he's a force for good in the end and does he believe in democracy as something worth fighting for? yes, he talked about democracy a lot. he's a force for good in many ways. we have to remember that the entire electric vehicle movement ground to a halt in the early 2000. nobody was going that way more than any other person on this planet. he has done. if you care about climate, if you

the reality, take elon musk went up. just always pushing people and driving them crazy but i didn't think they could do.o. definitely has the stairir but material much more than steve jobs was and could be really cold and nasty and also giddy and money and inspiring but he would shootmo moods on a dime ad you could see it. i remember watching the launchpad when they were doing immovable object which was starship and a late friday night and a couple people were working on the pad and i see his face and you could see it come across his face and suddenly she calls it demon mode and started to parade and saying where is everybody? we need dozens of people working 24 hours an day and he said its a friday night and he got so mad he said i want a third and the next day there was 200 people flying in from cape canaveral and los angeles and for a week they worked around the clock to stop the rocket even though they didn't need to but he wants insurgency. >> my next question is the statement. his father, yikes. >> when elon was yo

walters take on elon musk is certainly all of that.he story turned out to be even more than walter bargained for when he set out a couple of years ago to do the biography. back then walter thought he'd be writing mainly about the technological trailblazer a leader in the field of electric vehicles and private space exploration. then came musk's impulsive purchase of twitter and his central role in providing you create with satellite communication during the war with russia. the questions and controversy about musk onlygr grew. all ofss which has enhanced the timelinessth and the importancef walters in-depth portrait of musk and of the demons that drive him. walter himself is coming for somebo criticism about what he decided to put in the book or leave out shipyard the extent to which he refrains from judging musk. legitimate questions have been raised about both the risks and advantages of access journalism and about how far a biographer should go and offering personal opinions about the person he is writing about. public appearances s

musk's share will be 180 million.rbit. another. and his company tesla was also the first to mass produce electric cars. you see, i like living in california, but the problem is that you can't get things done there. that's all i'm talking about, it's just a fact. and ask anyone who has done a major project in in california, how long does it take to obtain permits to continue operating and undergo environmental testing? 2 years, and it’s still good if you can do it in 2 years. and a lot of people will sue you, simply because they can sue you, but musk has become a cult figure of our time thanks to his innate sense of self-pr. ilan is constantly in the news, he smoked illegal rolled-up cigarettes on the air of a popular show, and declared that he would send a million people to mars by 2050. in may 2020 musk wrote on social networks that he was selling almost all material property, i would not have a home, he called hysteria. around the coronavirus with stupidity, self-isolation, fascism, he was going to fight in a duel w

asked by nbc news if he knew who sent the texts to musk and who wrote the article, that musk had recommendedhim, the former trump speech writer declined to comment, instead suggested that the adl should be investigated. quote, i think i'm familiar with it, but i'm not in a position to comment on that, the man said. quote, i wish i could give you something else, but you should look into the atl. joining us now is ben collins, senior reporter for nbc news. ben, thank you for being with us tonight. i'm really intrigued by this new reporting. >> thank, you this is -- it's been a long journey with the story. >> tell me about. that first of, all tell me if i got anything wrong in the way that i explained, it and tell me about why it's been a long journey. >> no you got everything right there and it's been a long journey because we've been trying to find out who's sent the text message. that text messages even public because twitter tried to sue elon musk to get him to go through the purchase of twitter last year. and elon initially said no, i'm not doing. that part of the discovery process was him

so i don't know exactly where elon musk saw. this probably when he texted it.lay book that elon musk ran directly parallel to or read from directly himself. >> and the thing about the antidefamation league being the target hear, this is a jewish rights organization to have these two things line up where you have these recommendations to musk to do all these things that he has done, that would elicit the reaction that has occurred. and then bram a jewish civil rights group. to have that along with people proposing that sort of road map publicly who are associated with white nationalists, and the very, i mean, a ragged far right fringe so distasteful to even the trump white house that they felt the need to fire someone who was espousing these and associating with these people. i mean, that to me feels like fireworks. it feels like an incredibly dangerous thing. >> yeah. if you look back through this, i've talked to a lot of people on the elon musk beat over the last few months. what they want to say to you is that while all this stuff looks like chaos and nonsens

is this about elon musk?s this about the approach he has to regulatory oversight for his enterprises? what is the ultimate outcome the sec is hoping for here? >> the sec will always say it is a facts and circumstances situation, and the situation around twitter is very different than the situation around tesla, self driving cars or his tweet about 420 seven years ago. it is not just the sec elon musk is tingling with in washington. there are many regulators his businesses to touch on, and these regulators have never resided authority, so it is really that is what we have seen in the last year in washington is increasing scrutiny on elon musk, but it is somewhat to be expected as he is ascended to being the world about richest person and is involved with major defense contracting do not one of the most important car companies to social media platforms with millions and millions of users. shery: benjamin there with the latest on the sec and elon musk. you can get a roundup of all of the stories that you need to

but first, it's the one year anniversary of elon musk's purchase of twitter. how much have things changed in a year other than the name you're watching getting answers? i'm kristen sze. a year ago today, the billionaire ceo of tesla forked out $44 billion or at least put that funding together and took over the san francisco bay social media platform known for its little blue bird role as the world's public town square, the go to app for real time information. musk promised changes and he delivered, perhaps not unexpected ways, though. the new york times has two prominent stories today looking at the consequences of his ownership of the company, now renamed as x. and joining us live now is the new york times tech reporter ryan mac. ryan. thanks for your time today. >> thanks for having me so what was elon musk's promise and stated mission when he took over uh? well, he made a few promises. you know, and his had many ideas with this acquisition. i mean, this idea of preserving free speech, for example, but also, you know, continuing along the development of, you

billionaire elon musk recently once again angrily trolled zelsky. that has blemishes due to exertion. veven, providing it with a signature when 5 minutes have already passed and you have not yet asked for a billion dollars of help. the ukrainians did not appreciate the joke. elon has not yet been named a peacemaker, but accusations are increasingly heard that musk is playing a double game. in general, ilan is a very unusual american billionaire, which is worth his purchase of the social network twitter and the subsequent destruction of its logo, the familiar blue bird. he changed it and the full name of the resource to x, not everyone liked it either, by the way, and not so far from the letter z. there are at least two high-profile court cases in the united states today. over ex-president trump and the son of the current head of state hunter biden, another legal trial looms over elon musk every now and then, so who is he, a successful self-made entrepreneur or an eccentric rich man in the service of the us department of defense, section "life" wonde

peninsula, elon musk shut down his starling network there so that these surface drones did not hit.ankment infrastructure, the coastal infrastructure of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, that is, how would you, mr. roman, describe the role of elon musk, on the one hand, a person seems to be trying to move progress forward, and on the other hand, he is a representative and supporter of the russian machine, which pulls the whole world back, which is trying to turn europe into medieval europe , and the whole world in general, pulls back several, not even decades, several centuries, you understand, mr. sergius, you and i we can do a lot together, but not everything, we are not wizards, and our task is to warn, in principle, and whoever we can warn, will reach, well, don't vote for this, don't support this position, what are you and i talking about, and elon musk is a person who works for pocket money, that is, his values ​​are a dollar, well, a pound, sterling, there is something else, so strange, for him, our thoughts with you about civilization, about the standard of livi

howard: more now with elon musk biographer walter isaacson.witter is now worth about $8 billion, less than the debt he owe. is it time to declare this purchase a failure? >> well, we're going to see what he does now. even in the news this week, you saw, i think, 8 million people live citizen journalism on twitter. it's really bad for advertising though because, as we talked in the earlier segment, he sometimes reposts things that make it into a more toxic environment that advertisers don't want to be in. i think what you're going to see is the adding of a lot of features on twitter. and for people like me and, if i may say so, you, howie with, who are a part of the media and we united states to get -- used to get the anointed blue check, it feels like, no, this is not a great place. but i think he's going to turn it into something he did 20 years ago that became paypal, and he wanted it to be a combination of a payment system, a platform, a posting system and social media. and you'll see him do that with the platform now known as x. howard: bu

well, the position of elon musk, co-owner of the tesla company and spice x, and he is the owner of theial network x, which was once called twitter, today is ilo, also carries considerable danger. musk posted a photoshopped meme that went viral a few years ago, it shows zelensky with a sad expression next to a girl, and the caption under the meme reads: "when it's been five minutes and you haven't asked for a billion dollars of help." this meme, you see now on the screen, this meme immediately went viral in the x social network, and not only in the x social network. and elon musk received, of course, a lot of favorable reviews and negative reviews , we know about the role of elon musk, last year, when surface naval drones tried to attack the annexed crimean peninsula, elon musk turned off his starlin network there so that these surface drones would not hit the embankment infrastructure, the coastal infrastructure of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, that is, how would you describe it, mr. roman the role of elon musk, on the one hand, a person seems to be trying to move prog

musk repeatedly says this, and it would be possible to ignore it, if not, to understand the influence what he says, perhaps crazy things, he says, but he does not accidentally say these crazy things, and it is clear that in the conditions , when russia is constantly trying to push ukraine to peace talks, musk always plays along in this situation. let's go let's make peace with russia, the united states of america, because in principle we have to make peace, because they will be with the chinese, with iran, they will create a new axis of evil. how do you feel about these proposals of musk, and what are they connected with, that is, there must be some logic in everything, no , well, the logic is here, and it is simple enough that the proposals themselves, well, unfortunately, man, although it is known, the revolution in the latest technologies, but the person probably does not know history, at one time they were definitely going to appease hitler, and what happened when they go to concessions to aggressive dictators, people who create a new empire, concessions do not work , on the contr

this is what elon musk kept stressing. they buy by a monthly payment. keeps his vehicles in that range, that will be a problem. he has done a good job this year with price cuts but eventually, where you go from here? jon: let me ask this question from the context of the entire industry. we watched traditional players and the players and everyone wanted to be a part of streaming but economics did not look great. then we saw some retooling. the fact we are waiting to see what happens with traditional carmakers in detroit and labor conversations, but then they have to get back to the transition they too are focused on, getting people into electric vehicles -- if they are not focused on this, what do they do? do they go back on their traditional business or commit to this with consumer demand going forward? jessica: the long-term goal as we know right now is we will eventually have electric vehicles. however, how long it takes to get there is a question. i think this may be some stuff we are seeing right now dialing back on some of the intense and some of t

elon musk versus a san francisco socialist.usk is throwing some big-time jabs at a supervisor for wanting to prevent armed security guards from doing their jobs. the tech mogul posting on x dean preston should go to prison. preston introduced to prevent them from pulling out their guns to protect property. a board of supervisors committee just past the plan last week. is this the right move for the city currently being overrun by criminals? preston says "i believe strongly that nobody should ever have to die just because they are suspected of stealing property". now that elon musk is taking him on and calling him to be sent to prison over it, he is not happy. he said "a billionaire calling for dramatically elected -- a democratically elected official to be sent to prison for no reason is textbook fascism". jason, you know, i thought it was an interesting choice of wording for that post about calling elon musk a fascist when supporting the right to defend oneself in defense one property, that is actually fundamentally american t

he's currently suing elon musk.al executive as ceo to give his company the patina of credibility. however, under their joint leadership, the company has seen a 50% plunge in advertising. which was twitter's main source of revenue. its value has also nose dived. musk bought the company for $44 billion. it's now worth $8 billion. instead of confronting reality, he trotted out the strategy of blaming the jews, especially the anti-defamation league, which he threatened to sue. there's a long history of far right groups suing the adl. you wonder why musk would tank one of his toys. ben collins did some digs and discovered a possible explanation. which is tied to musk's overt anti-semitism and a plan promoted by a former trump speechwriter who was fired for his affiliation with white nationalists. joining me now is ben collins. all right, ben, give us the explanation. why did musk destroy twitter? >> so there are a lot of reasons he destroyed twitter. the way in which he did it might be tied to this guy named darren beatt

the fantasy that ross gerber is referring to is mr musk�*s big dreams for x.lerant to x... what does that, what does that mean? what does it mean? well, i guess you'll have to stay tuned to find out. ah, come on! we now know a little bit more. he wants x to do streaming games, video calls, banking, you name it — the everything app. that was embarrassing, i almost died. but ultimately, x still gets the vast majority of its revenue through advertising. if it's going to survive in the short term, at least, it needs to bring them back. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. finally, a sheep spotted at the foot of steep cliffs on the shores of a scottish firth has been dubbed "britain's loneliest sheep". jill turner said she first came across the ewe while kayaking along the moray firth's east highland coast. she believes she has seen the same sheep again, with a very overgrown fleece, on a recent trip this year. the ewe bleated at the group of kayakers. ms turner told bbc scotland she has tried contacting a number of organisations about helping the animal back up

explain this, because you want to see innovation, you though musk wants to see -- know musk wants toon. but he stops at a point and walks away because of the dangers that he sees with a.i. >> well, not really because he's now started an a.i. company, and he's pursuing real world artificial intelligence. not just large language models that can chat bot and maybe parrot certain political things, but real world a.i. like self-driving cars and opt miss the robot that learn from video, sound as well as from language. when he was a kid, he read all those isaac asimov books about the rules of robots and how the make sure that they didn't harm humanity. so he was worried, as you said, maria, when two big companies, google and microsoft, end up take thatting charge of the two -- taking charge of the two biggest and most innovative a.i. companies k. if so he called me and said come to austin. this is just a few months ago as i was finishing the book. he said my next mission is for me to start the an artificial intelligence company that'll be truth-seeking. maria: i love that, walter. real quic

they want to control the spigot they're suing elaine musk right now because musk is un-cancelable.world's richest man he can't be bought. he is fulfilling a role necessary right now because anybody else would be destroyed. the whole point of the misinformation bureau was to relabel dissent as somehow dangerous. i do emphasize with you about the stuff you get and your example of the covid misinformation, that's just part of the package. you're either going to have free speech or you're not. you can say that these are private companies, but if you were removed from one of these companies, your career could be destroyed. these are giant companies. threr are things that people make their livelihood off of. if you're banned from twitter, you could disappear. they say why don't you make your own, why don't you make your own, well good luck, but my point is this, this is about targeting people who are different in their views. and the fact is, elon musk presents a threat because he is not a liberal. that's it. >> but shouldn't these people not post anti-semitic things? >> there's a lot of

biden taking aim at elon musk i the x social media platform ove that. >> what about what elon musk ha? littering that against misinformation does that contribute to a? >> yes it does, where do people get their news? they go on the internet, they g online, and commit you have no notion whether it's true or not. >> but, you don't trash talk th man's riches man and walk away unscathed. musk firing back at the president saying quote the corpse and weekend at bernie's looks more alive than biden. that hurt, jesse. >> so information is power, someone said that. i don't remember who? >> dom della wees. >> so he has controlled information for decades and commit didn't the new york time and nbc say there were wmds in iraq. didn't all these network say covid didn't come from a lab, s his site does not have an out monopoly on the truth. the internet doesn't either, bu it allows access to information to regular people, just like th protestant reformation with the printing press. all of a sudden the catholic church can't say what's in the bible because everybody can rea the bible for themselves so

how do you feel about these proposals of musk and what are they connected with, that is, there must belogic in everything? no, well, there is logic here, and it is simple enough that as for the proposals themselves, well, unfortunately, man, although he is a well-known revolutionary in the latest technologies, is still a man. probably does not know history, at one time they were definitely going to appease hitler, and what happened when they make concessions to aggressive dictators, to people... who create a new empire, concessions do not work, on the contrary, they only tempt aggressor, they only push him to new aggressive actions, he took over one country or a part of the country, they made concessions to him, as in his time with hitler in relation to the czech republic, he went further, yes, and in the end everything came to the second world war , because they began to make concessions to hitler and therefore musk probably does not know history, but why does he say that? because there are such sentiments both in the usa and in the west, in many countries of the world, somewhere thes

you know, we know, with musk, there can be ups and downs. and i would also just add that unlike so many other companies where there are armies of pr people and the cfo and the head of ir and on and on who try to craft a narrative around a call, musk has none of that. he has a cfo, don't get me wrong, but they've got none of that. it's just musk, and you're going to get what you get, sara, and in this case, he did seem very focused, as he has been in the past, on higher rates and what that's doing to affordability. >> it's worked for him in the past, not having the narrative teams structuring the communications. >> it very much has. >> you mentioned the automotive gross margins. it's worth repeating the number, 16.3 was a surprise. the analysts were expecting 17.7, and even that is lower, so those price cuts are weighing, and i think a lot of people were looking for him on the call to talk about the fact that they bottomed or troughed or there's some visibility and we just didn't get that. i think the most expensive model x has seen price cut

after musk purchased 9% of twitter the previous month musk reported his purchase later than the sec. during the investigation. the agency has requested thousands of documents from him. they say in 2022 we sent over hundreds of documents and testified twice. but the sec is pushing for him to testify again in the latest portion of the investigation. musk now oversees 6 companies, including tesla, twitter and space x. >> today's the last day, fire crews are conducting controlled burns. you may see smoke in or near novato and the northern sandra fell areas like terra linda. we're in wood and lucas valley. fire crews say that you may also see smoke you're driving on 101, the purpose of the 2, 2, 100 acre operation burnt its to lowers the chance of a big wildfire in the future. >> i whether time here is we get a live look outside the few from mount temple pious and it has been one heck of a hot day in the bay. yeah. real cooker, lawrence, have we peaked? yeah. i think that was in tomorrow's going to be close. although this turned out to be really kind of a perfect kind of heat wave, not ge
