@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.

The difference between 90s News Reporting and modern News Reporting. There was no ideology pushing, no talks of racism, or hate. Just purely reporting.
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.
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.
Gosh I'm so happy to have lived through those formative years in my teens. It was a great time, coming of age… Everyone who was around back then and who was into the internet and computers knows what I mean, we were pioneers. It felt big to us, before it was big, and many people had no clue what we were into. It had a massive impact on my life to this day and it earns me a living today…
What's incredible is Elon went to my highschool back here in South Africa. People just don't understand how crazy this is to be working on Zip2 at 23yrs old...
This brings me back to my childhood in the 1990s when all of the content delivery was quieter, better balanced (sound and pace wise), and the people communicated more slowly and more directly to the point. It was much easier to think and concentrate when the world was like this. You can almost _hear_ the silence in the audio, compared to the delivery of both mainstream news and online video content today.
It’s wise of you to use the word prophetic, the whole thing feels like God helped with the editing for people to see now what was easier to see about the future back then. To call Gates a less then benevolent dictator who paints himself as benevolent is exactly what’s going on. He isn’t elected yet government lets him be involved in our water sources, our food sources, he is involved in our science, he is involved in our children’s education, he is involved in our medicine, he is involved in our technology, he is involved in our access to information, he genuinely manipulates our entire culture And there’s nothing benevolent about his crazy ideas and out of touch with reality nature. If there ever was someone who needed to touch grass and humbled to God, it’s Bill Gates and the influencers who control him. He would do well to see the Isaiah 53 savior of Matthew and John instead of thinking himself to be the savior. His dad especially was just plain evil. I think there is a part of him that thinks he can do good, but their is no good without God.

I had by first telecom job in 1987 (MCI) and 4 years later my first internet job (NASA Science Internet). I'm hoping to retire in 3 years on my 35th year in the internet. The Old Man (Vint Cerf) has been around longer, but then he's 15 years older than I am :) Sadly, I was at IETF when IPv6 (back then; IPng) was proposed, and 32 years later we're still stuck on IPv4.
Windows was the desktop king, but the web servers were running on Unix back then and later switched to Linux. So the internet has been running overwhelmingly on non-Windows operating systems since day 1.
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.
@@hughjass2745 He seems satisfied with his work, his children, and his friends. I think he would be happier if he was married to the love of his life. He doesn’t have that.
What Elon did not know then was that Donald J Trump 45th & 47th President of the United States would adopt him as his 4th Son, in the year of our Lord Twenty Hundred and Twenty Four.
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.
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.

I dont care what they say about Elon Musk. He's one of the greatest humans being of our generation.
True... Very True
Internet Explorer was RUTHLESS.
That young dude looks like he has a promising future. I hope he does well for himself.
Somebody else beat you to this old recycled joke.
Actual journalism.
I MISS these ORGANIC videos. I am so proud of him.
you’re his mother ?
@@hunterericson6782whad elon do, nobody told me
at 1:25, the server guy is from silicon valley.
The way the reporter says Microsoft is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
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.
They are quoting the brilliant minds on The View.
1:25 "Let me show you the next location we would install one of your boxes"
Elon and his first wife, then girlfriend, Justine, look happy here together.
Money and fame doesn't always bring happiness, he really doesn't seem to like living the billionaire life.
@@hughjass2745 He seems satisfied with his work, his children, and his friends. I think he would be happier if he was married to the love of his life. He doesn’t have that.
What Elon did not know then was that Donald J Trump 45th & 47th President of the United States would adopt him as his 4th Son, in the year of our Lord Twenty Hundred and Twenty Four.
"none of the experts can predict the outcome"
The outcome is: Elon Wins. (Cubs win. Cubs win. CUBS WIN!)
I have been following Elon since 2002 at that time I didn't know that he would be a household name.
6:18 That became so true, Apple & Google literally pulled down Microsoft with their innovations !
But Microsoft had to actually save Apple from bankruptcy to alleviate the charges of MS having a monopoly.
1:30 is the best moment, and that laugh
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.
❤❤
Hearing Green Day at 4:51 caught me off guard... then I remembered it was the '90s.
How did I miss that
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
In 1998; I was a senior in highschool
2:56 Mark ~~~ GOD I miss Netscape!!!
I loved how they rightly predicted the hero at the end.
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
@@Donnie-Lee-GringoHence “little late to the game”, he’s referring to Internet Explorer and not its rebrand of Edge starting with Windows 10.
1998 is the year I first went on the internet thanks to companies like Netzero
Actual journalism? This is great! When did it go so wrong?
rhetoric
Time traveller on 4:18 forgetting that there were no touch screens on 1998.
😁😅 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 🙂
Musk was a founder and a chief engineer, but CEO was some shmuck in a suit. The man is a genius indeed.
He looks very different
