Elon Musk Part 2

So there was one seminal event that really flipped popular perceptions of Elon on their head.

Hm.

The Thai cave incident.

Pedo guy, yes.

Yes.

I am going to send you a bit from the book.

Also, as soon as you say seminal event, it makes me think we're gonna talk about his like 12 kids.

I don't like that.

Too many seminal events.

I don't like that you said that.

(laughs)

That's- (laughs)

That's on you, man.

No, no, it's not.

(laughs) Don't-

(laughs)

Don't just-

I'm blaming you.

Don't just, don't just hear the word seminal-

(laughs)

... and be like, "You know what that made me think of?" And then blame me.

(laughs) So Isaacson says, "Musk was scrolling through Twitter and stumbled upon a message from an unknown user with very few followers saying, 'Hi, sir.

If possible, can you help in any way to get the 12 Thailand boys and their coach out of the cave?' He was referring to a dozen Thai soccer players who had been trapped by a flood while exploring a cave.

Then his action hero impulse kicked in.

Working with engineers at SpaceX and The Boring Company, he began building a pod-like mini submarine that he thought could be sent into the flooded cave to rescue the boys.
