- In a report that originally aired on "CBS Sunday Morning" November 22, 1998, correspondent Rita Braver talked with Internet entrepreneurs (including Zip2 co-founder Elon Musk, Digital Bitcasting owner Peter Dougherty, and Cypress Semiconductors CEO T.J. Rodgers) about competing against tech giant Microsoft, which was then engaged in a fight with the U.S. government over the company's hold on the software market.

At this time, Apple was trying to raise its head from bankruptcy, Google was just a little project running in a bunch of CPUs and Elon Musk was just another guy in the room…
Amazing I was looking at Apple stock 1998 had 60,000 at the time my brother-in-law said a fellow told him to buy Apple stock Jobs is coming back I did not know who he was I looked at it and said they are in trouble bad move the guy bought the stock for his kids college he knew something.Worse part is Apple products are crap and soak the 1.7 billion people that own the iJunk.I now own 555 shares of Tesla stock.Tesla will eventually have a market cap well beyond 10 trillion.
@@rickhammond2473 "I now own 555 shares of Tesla stock." Heehee. Best of luck. Doesn't make much sense, though. Not when EV sales are stalling out due their short driving range and the lack of charging stations. Not to mention that the company's under investigation for everything from bilking investors to killing its customers with its bogus Autopilot feature. The smart money is shorting Tesla.
@@rickhammond2473 10 trillion selling electric cars? Looks like your stock market predictions remain as bas as they were 25 years ago

Hope it works out for him, he definitely has potential

haha you are so funny haha
@@drtydsh haha he sure is but you have nothing in comparison haha haha
Money buys hair and he is an example of that

This is one of the greatest television news packages I've ever seen. This is a 7 minute masterpiece.
That was the news back then. When journalism actually was journalism.

Like he said, this was just a daily occurrence. Great work and very informative, holds up to this day.
People used to watch commercials too
@@erich3784for real, nowadays it’s biased political trash
just realized, elons laugh has not changed after all these years
Sure it has. It has evolved along with his success.
His laugh is hereditary, he got it from his father.
It’s a nervous tic
I don’t know? I think something changed… just can’t think from the top of my head.
He wasn't stuttering here
This was 11 kids ago for Elon
...that we know of.
11 kids? 🤔
and 11,000 hair plugs

I miss that old tech look of everything. Now, they've gotten a lot more sophisticated and better looking and I've gotten gray and old. 😥

Watching this in 23 is mind blowing

23 what? 23 screens?
I miss the 1990's.
Me too
@@SovatthaSok no it isn't, Elon says he's 27, he was born in 1971, the title says 1998, and at least several of the topics are late 90s.
@@SovatthaSok do you even know what century this video was made? do you know what century we are currently in?
@@xstatic9954 I appreciated your comment and deleted mine not to confuse any other person. Apologies for my mistake.
@SovatthaSok all good bro 👍
It always amazes me that older Elon has more hair than younger Elon.
It's uncanny that Elon Musk looked younger back then but still looks like the same person today...
Read about it, he got transplants. Cost him $20k. I got mine in May of this year, largely inspired by finding out what he paid vs what I *assumed* it must cost. $12k. Well worth it. I reccomend trying to follow the post-op instructions you'll find on the websites of Turkish clinics not the extremely lenient ones of those here. It is painful and very annoying for several weeks after.
@@pault6347implants alone don't stop balding you have to supplement it with medication
The hair grew back out of sheer respect!
because he stopped coding!
That screen recording in the beggining is hella good for 1998 maybe even 360p, impressive
just 3 years later, windows xp... a total game changer
It brought Windows NT to consumers (finally), but also brought that stupid online activation and the start of that next level of corporate control over its customers.
@@ericwood3709 hmmm....... windows 2000 professional technology NT!!!! FIRST
@@ercolebarrile8045Windows 2000 was not generally sold for home use or preinstalled on consumer PCs. The only editions Microsoft even sold were Server and "Professional," no "Home" edition like with XP. Like NT 4 before it, Windows 2000 was not yet Windows NT for the masses. The masses got Windows 98SE or Me until XP was released.
Mac OS X was too big update from old system
This was back when the media hated Gates and was just starting to love Elon. Oh how things have changed.
@tiki98 how so? Space X just launched another rocket, Twitter has more engagement than ever before, and Tesla is starting to deliver their autonomous big rigs around Cali. Why, cause he suspended journos that doxxed him after a car that just had his kid in it was attacked? That’s not an overreaction, that’s what every good parent would do. If I had his money and someone messed around with my kids safety, they would just disappear, his response was pretty rational.
Bill Gates was really close with Epstein. Watch him squirm and deflect with self-praise for his philanthropy when asked about it in interviews. Bill Gates is actually worse than Elon and the bar is Amber Heard low with Elon.
Before bill went to Epstein islands?
Before Bill Gates started becoming an “expert” on pandemics and vaccines?
Well, $350 million tends to sway some minds
I think this Musk kid has potential. Keep going kid, you can go far.
mneah i don't think so. he has no hair, he wrecked the car, lost the fiancé....

Maybe a electric car company, rocket company, solar roofs etc..
3:07 I tend to forget that the navigation bar took up damn near 1/4 of the screen back then lol.
That’s because of all the widgets and links you could attach to it! Haha I forgot til now too. Good times
Modern history is pretty interesting to consume. Its the ultimate "How it started, How its going".
not really
No, that’s history in general
A few things I got from this video--everyone had bad hair in the nineties (myself included), "Micro Soft" sounds weird and Quake had a low frame rate back then but seemed like it didn't...
That was also my first thought. Conditioner, anyone? 😮
Zip2 was sold to HP, it never earned a single dollar in profit and was ultimately scrapped.
Yeah but zip2 is ahead of time then came google maps
It was bought by Compaq Computer in 2000. It was purchased to enhance Compaq's AltaVista web search engine. - ps i got this off Wikipedia so fact check for accuracy
@@mallelasaicharan6257 Cope. X/Twitter sucks too.
You can probably list a thousand companies that had the same result, but pushed forward the engineering and future vision of where we can go, and what we can do.
It's not all about the money.
So what?
The difference between 90s News Reporting and modern News Reporting.
There was no ideology pushing, no talks of racism, or hate. Just purely reporting.
Things have changed since they found a better way to make more money. Now, they just influence people according to the desires of those who pay more.
Yea democrats changed a lot since 90s
@@user-ci7vu7eo9w have you watched fox news before?
If there were no talks of racism does that only demonstrate the lack of poor reporting in the 90s? A time in which racism was largely ignored and dismissed just like your doing now. Purely biased reporting more like; you don't was truthful reporting, only reporting that serves your own bigoted narratives.
@@mpmedia6735mainstream media covers the area where fox news is nowhere near to them.
Love the content CBS! Very educational.
semi prophetic that Elon starts and ends this news piece in a car.
I miss when the news was like this
Non biased news is fun.
Yeah they were talking about the new technology in the future. Everybody at this time were interested. As it sounded cool
It still is

Wow! I love watching these vintage videos from the early 90s about the beginning of the internet and technology! It's so nostalgic to see what these small businesses were like, yet to expand! I love the 90s!
I had also that 21" Nokia monitor that Elon used. A beast of a monitor..
The word "genius" is so diluted when popstars and comedians are called genius, but there is something so interesting about people who really deserve the name.
Musk hasn't created anything he bought companies that were already established, calling him a genius is an insult to people like Einstein.
Elon Musk is no genius.
Everyone is a genius with a billionaire dad
@@xD-lt1mqElon Musk should give us lots of money then we could all be a genius, right?
@@xD-lt1mqSo Trump is a genius?
The rules of the road to the internet. Wild man what a time to be alive .
Woe 1998 I was completing my junior year in high school. I remember 300mhz processor was the consumer desktop computer available at that time. Now my small cellphone has 3.36 ghz processor speed with 12gb of ram 512gb rom. Technology is awesome, only when getting advanced and not stagnant. Awesome YT channel CBS
I had an HP Pavillion with a 233 mhz Intel MMX processor, 32 mb EDO RAM, 28.8 k modem, and 6 gb hd at the time. .
I was watching Pamela Andersen😂
You know, I was happier without myriad machinations
I was being born😂
The megaherz increased only tenfold. The memory increased a thousand fold. Screen resolution also did not increse that much, my first computer, in 1998, had 1024x768, nowadays most computers have 1920x1080. Only twice as in 1998, 25 years ago.
At 27, he has a good presence and good head on his shoulders! He could go far in life!😊
I MISS these ORGANIC videos. I am so proud of him.
1:26
"Okay, let me show you the next location in which we would install one of your boxes."
I bet he's good at chess.
1998 was the sweet spot for the internet for shopping, etc.
Elon's hair grew back out of sheer respect
wow how original, totally didn't read that in a comment and just reposted
@@Jaysunn thanku
There is an always comments like this
1:26 - John, the datacenter guy from the Silicon Valley Series .. perfect.
Great journalism, was actually a pleasure to watch and so nostalgic. I think that Elon kid will do great things.
I am from the future and no, no great things will come from elon lol.
Terrible, yes, but great.
Elon is a damned right-wing libertarian
@@iche9373 That's putting it very kindly.
Yeah I don’t think buying Twitter was the greatest idea ever but who am I to tell him what to do with his money?
That Elon Musk guy looks bright, I hope it works out for him.
That young guy seems to have an electric personality. I think his career will skyrocket.
LOL!
so unoriginal 😂😂
I dunno, he seemed pretty boring
lame comment
Take L
The world is experiencing a fast changing era like it has never seen in it's history.
Netscape was the first composer I used to make webpages in the 90s!
If this Elon kid keeps it up he might end up being a billionaire.
bankrupt in 5 years or less
U dont say 🙂
@tomservo if he goes bankrupt we still probably wont catch up. Dont be so sour
He seems more well spoken then than now. Seems like the internet overload made everyone have anxiety
Make sure you get boosted for you anxiety
Or all his drug use now
or he just aged 25 years ? you do realise cognitive decline is a thing right ?
@@xsuploader hes too young to have that kind of cognitive decline lol maybe if he was in his 70s-80s
7:04 As smart as Musk was there is no way anyone at that table would believe their nerd engineer is going to go on to lead the space and car industry. But I guess he was the only one at the table half the age of everyone else. I also love the foreshadowing of Musk in his car showing that he has an interest in cars.
Some people want to be good enough to bring some cash back home and others are born to do remarkable things and bring cash home lol
In the future he also becomes the leader in underground high speed transportation. He’s got a lot more in him! Man’s a genius
Most probably knew better than to underestimate him, being that he was already driving monsters like Microsoft nuts.
Smoke and mirrors
@@wlewargusowy1592 So what is your general argument? You know he has the most electric car sales by far and the most successful rocket launches by far but you contend that it is all on the back of the government or other scientists so it doesn't count?
Such a long time ago now. I wonder who is still at the table with Mr. Musk of those pictured in this.
4:51 is that the start of Green Day's - 'Basket Case' playing in the background. I Had that cassette (audio before CD's) too.
Indeed it is!
Thank you for the video.Great Journalism
Elon before the hair plugs. LOL😂😂😂
Actually, his hair transplant was very good. Better than going bald.
@@i486DX66 Sorry, Musk still won't spoon with you.
Something he and Trump have in common. Hmmmm. Maybe that explains their sociopathy.
They convinced me. I'm going all-in on ZIP2!!!
🚀 Moon
Do it
these videos r gold
1998 is the year I first went on the internet thanks to companies like Netzero
That Musk kid seems to have potential.
You never know. Keep an eye on young Elon, see if he goes on to bigger and better things.
😁😅 A young Elon! Funny for everyone, themselves and in seeing. A sweetness of shared humanity as to that, weren’t we all, once, a child, a young kid/adult. Time goes so quickly, as such it seems. Good to see, this form of nostalgia 🙂
The Tesla man has better hair now than back then 😂
If you add up all those computers' performance what were shown in this video, it is just a fraction of your laptop's performance on your desk.
WoW... Musk knew his stuff...
And these guys really knew their stuff at the time... damn...
Meanwhile, Elon is providing my internet through space.
1:25 wow, John the server/datacenter guy of the Silicon Valley series was a real person
That Quake 2 at the beginning
That time in 1998, nobody can ever think that a company (Google)born in 1998 will became the king of internet browser and musk will became the tech mogul.
❤❤
wow. $99 bucks Microsoft package. those were the days Oh btw MS, did you see Google Chrome coming?
@Sprite lucky for us that it is $7 an hour now
You're a little late to the game with your Chrome comment. MS was the Chrome of its day where it offered it for free. It replaced going to the store and buying a browser such as Netscape for $30.
@@thebookwasbetter3650 the market ultimately chose Google Chrome over MS Edge though
Great Video ❤
1:25 "Let me show you the next location we would install one of your boxes"
I remember someone telling me in 98 that Jeff Bezos selling books on the internet will fail quickly and Microsoft will go bankrupt. Wish I bought stocks in any of those including Apple.
"Microsoft streamlined things for consumers by including IE" ha ha ha, totally agreed with the government on that point then and now.
This looks like it was filmed today 😮
at 1:25, the server guy is from silicon valley.
Actual journalism? This is great! When did it go so wrong?
rhetoric
I need to get rich so I can grow my hair back
Ditto
He seems happy there, where as these days, he seems like he has the world on his shoulders. Maybe he does.
1:19 cool pants and belt
I recall it being Netscape Navigator.
5:28 with Stargate movie on the top of everything! This is nostalgia-ception
What happened with the lawsuit?
4:55 prayer mat?
How is the young man doing these days?
Too much government involvement can turn massively wrong when regarding free market. Loved this short clip!
3:00 ive always wondered what Internet Explorer does
All these commenters focusing on his hair while I’m noticing his teeth were needing some improvement 😂
ELON DID FIND THE CURE FOR BALDNESS.
Internet Explorer was RUTHLESS.
this guy in less than two decades from that:
1 - Overcame baldness
2 - he became the richest man in the world
3 - took Jonhy Depp's wife
4 - bought a big tech company and built so many other companies
5 - Created a rocket that goes in reverse
6 - And now he talks about populating Mars
anyway...
It almost seem that Elon was a better speaker and communicator then compared to now.
He didn't have to worry about people skewing every word in his mouth like they do nowadays.
He wasn’t as tired back then. Even today, he is much clearer when he has slept properly.
His mind was nascent and fresh, he only had Zip2 as a creative outlet per se at this time.
With the sheer amount of companies he's dealt with and driven to get to where we are now, the mind becomes far more multi-faceted.
When he speaks now his cognitive state is 10/20x branched.
"my-crow-soft" lol
I loved how they rightly predicted the hero at the end.
good job by the sound engineer.
decades later Microsoft took his openAI start up lol
The hair job is significant
In June 2019, Infineon Technologies announced it would acquire Cypress for $9.4 billion.

24 years... whole new internet history has evolved
I got a feeling bout that Elon kid. He will do some great things one day
He did one day, maybe with Tesla but those days have passed already. Aged like milk
6:18 That became so true, Apple & Google literally pulled down Microsoft with their innovations !
Lo malo es que no hay traducción al español. Hay muchos videos que lo necesitan
Si hay
Wow, just wow.
"none of the experts can predict the outcome"
The outcome is: Elon Wins. (Cubs win. Cubs win. CUBS WIN!)
All zoomers who mouth off about Elon being a useless billionaire need to watch this. He was designing and operating advanced technologies when you kids were in diapers.
man i remember having to remove the side covers of my cpu tower too back in the 2000s to help in cooling 😂
What happened to the jag?
The 90s were the most successful time for net users. Thanks to people like Elon musk take us to Mars man and let's drive your roadster
Elon was a lot happier back then, just look at him now he looks rough.
He's almost 25 years older, aging is a fact of life
@@fubar12345 Its not just aging its a lot of stress
Ie 6 still in use today.
Love how Elon drove two iconic piston-engined British cars:
- McLaren F1 V12
- Jaguar E-Type inline 6
Glad he never positioned Tesla as a "climate hero" company, but that electric drive just makes more sense for most use cases.
for those who don’t know, Microsoft did in fact underinvest in the free browser they bundled with Windows. It was buggy and crappy and stifled innovation for a decade. Microsoft really was the evil empire of the computer industry.
