A CEO that sleeps in the unfinished factory to get a feel for whats going on is a CEO who is worth every penny
You mean techno king
I have full admiration to Elon Musk. He is a genius. He helps in Humanity
💋
and does not take a salary.
its also great marketing
This is what i call proper tribute to Elon Musk. Loved it.
No really is kind of unacceptable 56:18 to sexual
Elon is the man of the century, at least. He will go down in the history books as the guy who started the space age. He is the second richest man yet he sleeps in a conference room in his unfinished factory.
@Thor Ventus no. No he’s not.
@Albert Brissen if he was gay who’s cares? But he’s not gay.
Alon keksih kayangan
Man sial mat
@raydon sjobeck even if he is gay, what does that change? Who cares
Elon Musk is the most valuable human being on the planet, and not because of his wealth
28:58 so you didn't know that they came to me?
@MailTV I definitely agree his outlook on Covid was misguided, and I've heard the working conditions in his companies are sub par but, he is absolutely providing an insane amount of innovation and opportunities for the world as a whole.
@Bd Dollen In what reality do I have to live in to get your informations?
@MailTV - HE WAS ‘’ RIGHT” ...!!!!
- PRESIDENT TRUMP -
Wow. He is sleeping in a conference room in the unfinished factory, to get a feel of the progress. The general media does appreciate how much more of a true CEO he is, rather than just a billionaire.
I worked in the gigafactory 2 years and would see him time to time
Don't forget that he is not only a CEO but also the founder and majority owner...
@Soumil Sahu Now that really puts things into perspective ... out of the clouds.
@Soumil Sahu Some people the first CEO of 3 companies which are worth 1bn $. Some just see him overtaking Bill Gates as the 2nd richest man alive. But I've seen much more positive news about any of his companies in recent times, compared to 2016-2018 - maybe because there are not many short-seller left.
Let's stop counting the billions Elon is worth. Let's all us humankind appreciate what he is and planning to do for our betterment ( specially through Nuralink)
RESPECT and TOTALLY agree.
@Satoshi Nakamoto I'm not sure what point you're trying to make...? Video games have been done since 1958, but here we are, still creating new video games. That's a weird argument to make on your part lol
@Jonathan Mendoza physics, science fiction and Neuralink has been done in 2008 by brain gate and those, great marketing too
Neuralink has been done in 2008 by brain gate and those companies. He’s just upgrading software
Hope Elon read these comments and get a sense of how much so many people love and admire him to support him when haters hate on him.
He knows.
Like very much 🤩
Elon is probably at the moment the only human being with a vision for a long term future. I cannot think of any Prime Minister or politician who as any kind of such .
Elon and Kanye
Bill Gates is a wizard. He eradicated smallpox with his own efforts. He just doesn’t market himself as much.
President Trump the Great
Right both, this kind of people MUST be impulse the world.
That's the bad side of the
"re-election mechanism" - politicians keep looking for short term solutions for long term subjects.
One of the best interviews of Elon out there. He was in a great mood. Fantastic!!
@Names wrong guess

Fucking legend
@Antony Deighton interviewer name?
@Shifter22 probably him talking about synthetic mRNA, DNA. 🤷♂️
The timetable is off
@TriplM It's pretty off, but I don't think it originally was...
They def cut something out. 💇
he must feel pretty tired having to repeat his vision to people so many times
Or it’s a break from work doing interviews
Unfortunately, his vision must be repeated until every human on earth has heard it and begins to see it for themselves.
It's probably reinforcing that people ask these questions. It's a curiousness that musk shares which is how we got here in the first place 😊
If you want to grow your business, you have to repeat yourself to a lot of people.
I wish their was an interviewer who tried his absolute hardest to steer the conversation off the beaten trail.
Thank you Axel Springer for such an event. Elon definitely deserves it. Watching all the introduction videos and the impact he made really brought up tears to my eyes.
Thanks Elon for making the world a better place.
While making me money. Very important to mention.
He is actually making the future!
❤
The one of a kind music collection instead of a random trophy was really great.
So happy for him. He deserves the world(maybe Mars will do :)
That drew a tear. And I’m Not even Elon. 😀🥲 Godspeed Tesla, SpaceX, and Elon.
i never admire a human being this much, god bless this guy.
Jesus what a day for Elon, never seen anything like this before... Probably the greatest interview ever, ha you even get literally the best present at the end of it haha!
"I'm a cyber girl in cyber world, It's fantastic in the future there's no plastic"
What a good song 👏🏽👏🏽
@Chris Banach no
I think I he said a Saber girl (referencing Star Wars), I might be wrong though
This was so well done!!! Congratulations to germany and this program on really doing an outstanding work!!! And of course Elon was awesome and such an amazing news with the gigafactory in Berlin!!
Nice event and nice production. But Elon is still the best, no question. Big love.
That is the nicest. Most thoughtful gift. Holy crap. Germany is amazing.
@Daniel Gerber Findest du? Wenn das der Wahrheit entsprechen würde, wäre Deutschland nicht Welt-führend in der Automobilindustrie, Wissenschaft, Technologie etc. und eine der Stärksten in der Weltwirtschaft! Wir können schon stolz auf unser Land sein, finde ich 🇩🇪
@Anna L. Vajda Puh, but he also has this "everything is possible mentality"- and thats very ungerman lol
I think Elon would really fit in in Germany he has that German work ethic and they have been leaders in solar power and auto engineering for decades. Even the V2 rockets modified for space are original German design.
Lol I love how after all these years Elon remains one of the smartest individuals in the world, but can still crack jokes about the host of the show giving him an "invitation" to not sleep alone 😂
Great presentation and amazing production! 🙌🏼 Congratulations, Elon! 🚀
This was a very impressive show
@Allen Kemmett 100%, almost everything about the non interview parts of this show was so cringeworthy.
.. it was badly executed, fortunately Elon is already doing the showing & doing it properly 😎
I love how Elon's face lit up near the very end, when they landed on Mars. I just felt it was too brief a moment. Like a tease. I felt myself saying, No! Keep going. Show us more of Mars.
He's such an amazing person.
Thank you so much for this very nice and fun award ceremony. The talk was candid and watching it live is awesome.
This whole thing was awesome and well deserved. Good work Elon, lead the way
I know Elon Musk wants to be humble, and frankly i understand him. And honestly, i can without exaggeration say that i share in his "condition" of having nonstop ideas buzzing around 24/7 in my head (but without the engineering knowhow to execute on them). He's not superhuman, he's just a man like any other. Fine. BUT, he did something. Instead of just sitting at home, he actually did something with the ideas. That's the difference. And that's what makes him special.
The thing is, one man CAN indeed change the world, and even the course of the entire human civilization.
Let's just imagine for one moment, that Earth faces an unstoppable extinction level event in 200 years. Be it an asteroid or whatever. Now lets imagine that, IF Elon Musk's Starship gets us to Mars "early", we manage to set up a self-sustaining colony there by 2200.
But if he did NOT get us there "early", but we rather waited for NASA or previous enterprises, which may only have resulted in a 100% self-sustaining colony by 2250, which would inevitable fail under the hardships of no longer recieving any support from Earth..
Then this would mean, quite literally, that 1 man's efforts to organize this mission ASAP, would be the difference between our entire civilization surviving or becoming snuffed out in the mists of time..
Hyperbolic? Yes. But undeniably possible. The universe has no mercy, it does not wait for us to be "ready". Every year that we're NOT multi-planetary is another roll of the dice between survival and extinction.
This is what is so scary. That 1 man CAN indeed have such an impact, in the longer scale of time.
We should not deify him, but we should also not downplay his importance.
What we should do, is ask ourselves, why do we have so FEW Elon Musks in the world, if they COULD potentially have such a huge impact on our future, long-term? We need to do whatever we can, sociologically, to ensure that a THOUSAND more Elon Musks can be cultivated to reach their aspirations in our society. Because it is extremely foolish to have an entire civilization practically rest on the shoulders of a handful of people.
(And this goes both positive and negative ways, the same way that civilization rested on the shoulders of the US and USSR presidents with nukes on their fingertips during the Cold War.)
You should take a page from his book and read everything you can get your hands on and maybe your never-ending thoughts would form plans also.
When I look around... I don't see a greater guy than Elon...
the visual effects are stunning, I wish i was there watching it live :)
What an incredible production, it was great. So many people still don't know Elon, his history and mission. So this was an incredibly accurate, upbeat and inspirational presentation.
Awesome production for a very innovative and inspiring guy! Great!
Elon is the good ruler of the world. Thank you, Elon!
Never doubt Elon’s vibe
Elon is incredible! Too bad the Host is so cold. Elon is helping humanity and he's an amazing human!
But the woman who came on later made up for that.
Amazing ceremony! Congrats to Elon Musk and Sven Väth’s music brings me all over the universe 🪐🪐
One feels so blessed to be born on 19th & 20th century when most of the inventions & innovations have happened. Now, if you watching this video & breathing the same air with Elon Musk then you will certainly feel the purpose of taking birth has been fulfilled. More power to him. Humanity needs him.
On population he just nailed it... We need to just be innovative enough to find sustainable resources (energy and technologies) and not trying to pull down the population (we will need more numbers on Mars)
This was absolutely fantastic!!! Awesome job, Deutschland!! Watched it a couple of time, so refreshing! Danke!!!
Thank you Germany for honoring Elon in the superb way you did! All of humankind will reap the benefit of Elon Musk!
He's going to sleep in the unfinished factory-amazing, simple & humble human being-bless Elon!
So far, this is the best intro of Elon Musk I have ever watched of him. Very inspiring!
So creative aand personal an acknowledgment and welcome of a great mind to your city and country. I was so impressed at how considerately this was done. Congratulations.
When the ship landed he looked like a little boy who got what he wanted for Christmas. Joy! I hope he can find someone who loves him unconditionally, including his work ethic. He needs a soft place to land at home. That's what I would want for my child.
Most popular video on the channel in less than a week! That speaks volumes. I guess the reason is what Elon says at 13:44 "to have reasons to be excited about life" because that's what he and his team delivers. Elon Musk with Tesla, SpaceX and the others, have had the courage to risk and set the foundation blocks to the future envisioned by Roddenberry (or, anyhow, something similar) and show the world that there is still hope to achieve a future which looks beyond the petty squabbles humans have all around on this Planet. I'm just so glad to follow them and take part in what they're creating! @Elon Musk and team: You Rock!!!
I wouldn't have expected more from a space robot like him. Maybe that's why he likes Techno so much 🥳
The man is truly focused, he has a vision and he will complete it!
That intro and the way it was presented in that room is so beautiful, like a movie in a cinema.
Elon is ‘the most Down to Earth’ space explorer of all times.
This interview was amazing ❤️
A wonderful presentation, thank you AXEL SPRINGER 💜
The government should supply him with 24-hour security we need to keep this guy alive as long as possible
i second the motion!
I'm very happy for you, Elon
Congrats Elon, I love Techno too, Child of the Sixty's. Love Disco, Lasers and Kraftwerk Numbers !! I felt part of me took the journey with you on many of your tougher missions in life. Keep it REAL Brother !!
the ending part of the video really made me so emotional, it was......m a very very very big fan of his work. he is an amazing person. i had tears in any eyes when I heard his songs... it's a nice EDM but idk.....my inspiration. Luv u Elon sir.
best of luck
Stupendous presentation, cinematography and animation!
Great event, great interview!
Incredible, and deserving.
Very great show. Amazing special effects. Thank you very much.
💯 Living Legend 💯
THE most important man on Earth!
His willingness and need to do right in the world is a much needed positive force for humanity.
Thank you brother you are greatly appreciated..🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
a super smart man, with a child-like- curiosity!!!

This man is a real leader of humanity 👍
This is an incredible presentation.
Why do you like techno music?
Elon: you want to feel maximal human
@Luka Ellegaard Jensen its just a nerd thing
@amused incali omfg
@Luka Ellegaard Jensen bots can't critically think..ask zuck. Why the triangle scar on musk since very young? Just found out
@Luka Ellegaard Jensen Elon Mask is a robot. His name suggests that
that sentence proved hes a robot hahaha
I love this dude!! he speaks my language!!! I wish more people could see the wonder of our universe and all the possibilities out there beyond this planet of ours!!
Was nervous with people getting so close to Elon, in this corona age, as he is the most valuable human being on the planet.
Best German TV Host so far. I died at the Conference Room Quote in the unfinished Factory and i also feel this man at the end when he got watered Eyes. He has gone through so much pain and stressfully Situations in his live, no one other deserves this Award more than you Mr.Musk. The Greatest CEO of this century. All the best!
We need more of the Musk courage and lesser bureaucracy in Europe.
not just Europe
I wish I work for a ceo like Elon. He seemed to care and appreciate his employees. Dedicating this award to his employees shows how good of a leader he is.
@Brokkoli OMG Exactly, imagine thinking he's anything other than a taskmaster. Shocking how many people seem to think he's an easy going guy.
I'm a fan of what Elon is doing, but considering what some reports say about his leadership is...controversial. Maybe check for some former employees, or hell, even try it yourself, why not?
Just don't expect the best working environment.
Great presentation and interview. Congratulations Elon Musk and Germany
Cant even imagine how awkward it is for someone like Elon to sit through that intro=D
A great presentation for a great visionary human, I mean an amazing Elon Musk...
How did i miss this event ! 💯🌟🔥
who is going to get this award next? 😲 The bar has been raised above human kind!
This was probably the best online conference of the year 😎
If Elon was my Dad I would want to spend all the time in n the world with him and ask questions all the time
Not in your teenage years, it's mandatory to stop listening to your parents and start paying attention mainly to your peers. It's just a stage we all have to go through.
Same lol
Me too !
Elon is AMAZING!
This is so funny and a nice tribute. I must say I played the song "dont doubt your vibe" on my job search during corona and it kept me going and focused, is not the best piece of work but it helped me haha
At last. A long worthy tribute to Elon Musk
This man is endowed with supernatural intelligence in addition to his self-confidence and limitless abilities and has the ability to make the world an attractive place for every ambitious person.
This is so motivating 🍿💪🏼
Then along comes an earthman named Elon Musk… to do things unheard of and move humankind forward. God bless you, Elon Musk. You represent the best of our species. I honestly pray for you and the future hope of mankind.
Echt tolles Interview. Fand ich sehr cool geführt :D
This is legitly the best of videos on Elon Musk.
Elon as brilliant and fun as always. The interviewer though really had some cliche questions ( e.g. China is a threat etc ) and frankly not much sense of humor, totally missed a few Elon jokes. That 42 joke at the end. How could he miss that one.
He is a German!😄
How everyone miss the 42😂😂
Oh how I love ❤️ this man 👨
the introduction is sooo over the top with very funny digs to Elon's industries' rivals lol. heck of a space ship stage as well.
32:36 Everyone thinks him/herself the center of the universe, but none is. We are so small... Elon has the right perspective, as always.
Who wouldn't want to hang out with Elon??!! Ok, his sons ..:)
The beginning was awesome 🤩
Ganz großes Lob an Axel Springer für dieses Event, es hatte am Anfang etwas Fremdscham Charakter und ich dachte mir schon oh Gott was tut Ihr dem Mann an. Das hat sich aber mit dem Video Start gefangen. Die Produktionsqualität war so dermaßen geil, Sound, Musik, Video, Storytelling alles perfekt und Elon Musk würdig. Das Interview war auch erstaunlich gut!
Ich fand es an Stellen mega weird.
Alles in allem war es okay, aber es gab auch schon deutlich bessere Interviews.
Find ich auch. Erst hab ich gedacht- oh, okay in welche Richtung geht das jetzt hier 🙃, aber dann hat es mich überzeugt. Wir bräuchten auch einen Elon in DE mit solchen Zukunftsvisionen.
Living legend 🙌
In Elon we Trust 💖
Great show!! Great crew as well!
Starts at 15:20
you're the kind of guy Elon would employ
God bless you Steven
Elon Musk is an amazing person. He appears and seems very real, kind, caring and passionate, he has a gentle soul that to me is “ahhhhh inspiring”. It’s sad to see how jealous arrogant elites treat him. He’s a very special individual and he’s spot on when saying, “we can’t have inmates running the asylum”. I so get it!! Anyone close to Elon is BLESSED. He’s a gem. Thank you Elon Musk for caring about more than just yourself and contributing to human kind in ways that are so very important and critical.🌹👍🏻🌻
God Bless Elon and the other inspirational souls out there. He deals with the arrogant evil snobs (Elites) with a smile 👏🏻😉👍🏻 and he warns us and them. But the Elites are ignorant, arrogant and greedy, they will never learn! They dislike mankind and will destroy our beautiful existence by all their lies!!! Please send them up there (out of here) but not to MARS! Those people need to go beyond (bring Covid with them) so we can rid Earth of that kind of trash!!!
God Bless Elon Musk! 🙏🏻❤️👏🏻
PS: GERMANY needs to shut up!!
Awesome talk and show! Well done 👍🏻👍🏻
Love it !
Elon is a pure blessing on humanity and our mother earth.
You never get bored listening to Elon Musk.
