The hair transplant was the best thing he ever spent money on.
Doesn't look like he did. I think he just got a skilled stylist.
@@vasudevbethamcherla3001 he got a hair transplant.
@@vasudevbethamcherla3001 A skilled stylist can not grow hair from dead follicles again
It's helped the belief that he's a real life Tony Stark, he'd have less fanboys if he'd lost his hair and the Tesla share price probably wouldn't be quite so high
@@RanjitKumar-pr2eq we ain't in gta
Mad respect, his hairline restored itself
Lol the power of science
Sat with his head backwards out the window.
@American Infidel 100% I love how this video shows how his personality changed over the years. When people first start making money, they tend to spend a lot on wants. Now, all he cares about is making the most impact he can. He doesn't care if Tesla goes under. He wants to see the world advance for the better.
@@captainwin6333 fucking brilliant, I’m laughing 😂 like fuck here
Damn it u said it before I could bro
1:21 That laugh, it never changed.
Still sounds "short-bus".
1000%
He sounds like a movie villain.
This kid looks smart, he has a bright future.
Lmao
@Dante lmao fact >_
@@Daddy-dh4lf lol I think Dante is a little slow, not much a inferno but moreso a tiny candle.
@Dante Dante- think about it. 🤣
@Dante its a joke
"Elon's fiancee, 1999"
Lol
Who's here from the Walter Isaacson biography?
Me :D
Me too
Yep
He just became the richest man in the world, that's why CNN uploaded this !!!!
Obviously
Oh. I thought he died.
you are a genius
@@ritemolawbks8012 that was a smart comment
Not the richest anymore. Bezos overtook.
Not just any car. The Mclaren F1, arguably the best car ever made. If you don't know much about this car, look it up. Amazing piece of engineering that still can't be beat by some supercars today.
Still the fastest naturally aspirated car in the world
I know all about it since I share the same last name lol
def not the best but very good
@Lan Astaslem thank you, I've been trying to remember that term "lan astaslem" I learned some time ago
@Lan Astaslem old yet so good
For those who don't know, he later totaled this car (with Peter Thiel inside as well) and sold the remains to a collector. Both were lucky to survive totally unscathed
The social network has taught me who Peter Thiel is
Lies again? Google Drive USD SGD
Peter Thiel thinks Musk is a fucking idiot lmao. Love it
Just casually bought one of the greatest and rarest road cars of all time as his first super car
And crashed it before getting ti insured. Must be nice to have that kind of money
@@bannor99 Banksters don't care about crashes.. only profits.
And he crashed it
I'm more impressed with the come-back of his hairline
It’s amazing that correlation between moving from internal combustion engine to ev according to hairline growth vortex increase
Hes so rich, he reversed his balding
1:20 laughing like i'll be one day boss of the WORLD.
*SOLAR SYSTEM
That laugh was badass, Kinda reminded me of Robert Kiyosaki.
Fr 🤣🤣🤣
The McLaren F1 is still in the holy trinity of super cars.👌🏻 and currently over 21 million..
It’s like buying a blue party hat in RuneScape, it’s legendary amongst the billionaire nerds so they’ll pay whatever they can
"This kid will crash and burn, coal and oil is the future and nobody will use online banking" (Analysts 1999).
Kind of sound like what the haters day about bitcoin now.
Did they actually say that ? Wow
@@FemmiFatale which country was that that he advocated to invade? That is messed up
@@FemmiFatale oh wow.. just saw his tweet about it "we will coup whoever we want! Deal with it!"....I have always gotten a psycopath vibe from him, its confirmed now
@@elissarose1794 And you don't understand a joke. Nobody invaded anybody.
The internet has created more impact in our life, financially, socially and otherwise, for the betterment of our lives.
The Bitcoin market is home to endless financial opportunities, if you are not focused you will get sucked in crowd thinking, but thanks to expert Mrs Tessy for is contribution in the crypto space without her a lot of us will be lost in a day trading.
Bitcoin is fast rising and if you are lucky to have a good broker, then i believe you have absolutely nothing to worry about because you are in for a financial upliftment.
@@meyerjones9006 You are right my friend, a lot of people are ignorant to understand that Bitcoin is the future.
Trading has not been going well with me, I have invested a lot of time and failed, I trade on my own but each time i keep losing money.
@@michealcliff4994 Self trade is too risky if you don't have the knowledge and strategies on how to trade and read margins.
When you're rich you get a new hair
he got new hair, new teeth, and looks like minor nose job)))
@@CoolGobyFish yeah
Not a “supercar” that’s a McLean F1 “Hyper-car” is the appropriate moniker today. That’s still one of the greatest cars to ever exist. And by far the most sought after collectors cars, fastest and rawest pieces of engineering beauty. A car that owes its very existence to capitalism and penis envy, and for that, we thank you!
U canhead a hyper car is any that goes over 250 and a super car is any car that goes over 200… it’s a super car
In 2020 he made 300 mil a day 120 billion plus the whole year that's insane
hope you understand thats not how it works.
@@chezze83 expenses?
He could be the first trillionaire.
on paper and theoretically, but that's not the reality.
His assets made that, his bank account didn't.
Elon Musk is Benjamin Button. Dude is deaging as he gets older.
He got a hair transplant.
@@BillyHannon14 that won't change your face all over my friend lol , some people are blessed with it
@@m.r.a7992 He looked 50 21 years ago. That is not blessed LOLOLOL Cursed maybe. I doubt that is the only procedure he had.
Just like me.

Arya what you are linking is not relevant and no one likes it or think the video is funny
@@FemmiFatale i didn't compare him. That quote was for you
Back in 1999 after selling PayPal the newly minted millionaire decided to go out and buy himself the greatest sports car of all time; the Mclaren F1. For the next few years Musk used this car as his daily driver, putting an insane 11,000 miles on the car.
However, one day Elon Musk and fellow founder of PayPal Peter Theil were driving up sand hill road for a meeting. Along the way Peter utters the words, "So what can this thing do?".
To which Musk replied, "watch This!". He promptly floored the accelerator did and did a lane change. However, as he did this the F1 which has 640 BHP and no traction control broke its rear wheels loose at 80 MPH. Sending the car spinning backwards into oncoming traffic. A second later the supercar hit an embankment, which sent it spinning into the air. According the witnesses the car stayed in the air for quite a while after which it slammed into the ground; killing the suspension, bodywork, and glass.
As legend goes, Elon Musk steps out of the car laughing. To which Theil says; "What are you laughing about?" Elon then says, "no you don't know the funny part, it wasn't insured!".
he sold zip2 not paypal, what gave him 22 mio and from that he bought the car.
No, he didn't sell Paypal.
He, his brother and all the other people in the administration of the company "Zip2" sold that company and he received 22 million dollars while the brother received 15 million dollars
Fun fact the Mclaren f1 is now worth over 39 million
I think that one is worth more now because it was Elon's car
1:21 with that laugh and hair cut, I would legit believe he was a serial killer if I didn't know him.
😂
Donald duck laugh
1:18 nice smile!
I was riding around Honda like the one in the background. 😂
Congratulations on being the Richest person on earth Elon Musk!
hes not the richest person on earth hes the richest person who allows it to be know
@@marcusscaff00 yes you are right about me
@@marcusscaff00 This is the correct answer. There is always a bigger fish
Gotta love that classic DnB at the beginning.
Totally. Very 1999. Dieselboy, DJ Dara, Goldie. Future Beatz were “da bomb”. I could maybe see young Elon as part of the Junglist Massive, though probably more likely he was blasting Ian Van Dahl in that car, with that goofy preppy dinner jacket he’s wearing.
I traded mine in for a 1989 Chevy Cavalier. Now those are rarer than hen's teeth.
Looks like a smart guy, should start a space company or something
1999: BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE.
Can you tell me why? I see a lot of people said that 80s and 90s was the best time ever. I born in 2003 so can you explain how was that those time?
@@cesarosorio4001 It's to bad you dont know lol 2022 🤮
@@cesarosorio4001 I can explain why. Social media and smartphones didn't exist. So people hanged put and talked to each other.
@@cesarosorio4001 No smartphones --> not so much idiots in the internet.
If he still have that same car today he will have a 20 million plus dollar hyper car 🔥🔥
He sold it when Tesla was at edge of bankruptcy
He crashed it within a year of getting it, so no. And it was uninsured too.
Lo destrozo en un accidente XD
"Decadent"
Track id at the very beginning?
It looks amazing I didn't even know that they built McLaren's that far back🤔
Pretty sure that was Mclaren's first production car
You obviously didn't play a lot of video games back in the day. This car featured in Need for Speed II in 1997!
@@Davez621 more of a San Francisco Rush fan never played Need for Speed that much
@@journeymansmitty8283 Look up 'Panther' in RUSH 2049.
And a few weeks later he crashed that 1 million Dollar Car...This is our Elon!
In Elon Voice: Haha, yes
Thats our boi. He crashed it intentionally to motivate himself to make electric supercars. Pro move
him and the wife look awkward af. she's trying too damn hard.
@superfuresh Chill out. I'm not talking about looks in the context of appearance or beauty. I'm talking about how their energy is clearly awkward. She's being annoying while the man is trying to give an interview.
Gold digger
Young Elon looks like the offspring if Johnny Carson and Jerry Seinfeld had a kid.
What neighborhood/city is that?
I need to see his hair transplant doctor asap!
Probably the best in the world.
This kid looks smart he has a bright future
No, he'll never make it
@@alexj.5207 twitter
1:43 the guy in the back : oh well thanks god a I have a bike
Man the 90s had some dope music, outfits n mobile phones
1996: the Internet's a fad.
2016: access to the Internet's a human right.
2036: we can't actually exist without the Internet/Reality+ 2.0
2056: oh shit! we're all robots now?!
this guy has potential , maybe he should open his own car company , maybe build some rockets as well , idk
He should work for EPA, emission control that is
I see someone at cnn got this in their yt recommendations too
And here he still has his lovely South African accent! Hybrid as it may be - but no doubt where that boytjie is from! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Being rich can make your hairline grow faster.
"how do you like this Elon Musk" ?
The most legendary car ever made
1999 : 28 yo
2021 : 50 yo
But he looks younger than 20 years ago LOL
I’m glad he does what he wants with his own money. I also respect him for wanting to give everything away too, we are not our possessions we are our brains and feelings.
lol he can buy all 62 of these cars now.
Came here while reading CNN showed up at his apartment at 7 A.M from his biography 🔥
lol the jungle beats at the start, that is late 90s alright
This guy looks like he could be the richest guy on earth( and mars soon)
Lol
Looking a bit like Elton John out here
Arya OMG ua-cam.com/video/2k0SmqbBIpQ/v-deo.html
Oh yeah, Elon Musk is so sexy, so hot. He's a rock star.
Super rich!
Succulent Queen are you ok
My god. That car looks like its from a different planet. Now Elon be like, I built a better one, and you dont even have to put gas in it 🤣🤟🏻
He came a long way..
His first supercar AND his first wife!
Is there something this man cannot buy?!
He can buy anything he wants.
Anything!
He is the richest man in the world now
Why is his tone much clearer back then than today?
Cool stuff, the magnificence of time!
Omg😂😂😂...i bet that car don't even cost half a mill now
I think they’re up to 4 or 5 million now.
Some examples are in the $25M range
One sold for £20,000,000 last year. lol
Non car guy comment. 😏
You can tell you know nothing about cars. Smh.
He has more hair as a fifty-year-old…
I'm shocked to learn he is fifty.
@@TheFortressMaximus I’m rounding. He’s forty-nine. Also he’s no innovator so don’t go calling him some kind of hero
Yes he has such thick and luscious hair, and I would love to run my fingers through his hair all night long.
@@aspookyfox Elon Musk is My SUPER HERO!!!
He is saving the planet Earth!
I love you Elon Musk!
❤❤❤
@@succulentqueen7737 ok chill
The engine is based on BMW V12 from the 90s. Actually where he opens the hood you see McLaran written but you really recognise the BMW V12 cylinderheads
He should start a electric car company and also build rockets on the side .
He seems like to be as a wine. Gets en looks better and better with years.
Who cares? CNN is this what you should be focusing on now? Why because he’s rich?
lots of people seem to care lol
Lol yeah this is dumb.Then again it's CNN
Why not?
This was already uploaded to UA-cam a long time ago.
CNN always spews the same crap
Grimes boutta drop an album about why life is amazing
This kid has a bright future. I can see it
I don't know 😕 I can see him being broke by the time he is 49 🙈
"...the fastest car in the world".
Years later, he builds a faster one!
not around a track. only in a straight line
That hair though. My man's definitely got hair plugs.
Real supercar, unlike many "retail supercars"
Elon musk is most valuable person in our whole earth 🌎 . He is god to me ❤️.
That's unfortunate.
@@JamesBiggar why ?
Smart guy. He got the hell out of commifornia.
Bro really been out here putting in work for decades, we just didn’t know until recently!
“It’s just the moments in my life”
Elon deserves everything he has.
FACTS.
Multi-Billionaire in the making. I salute and applaud you sir! 👏
my man went straight for the mclaren f1, bought it at about 1.87 million adjusted for inflation. He apparently wrecked it shortly after, but little did he probably know that it'd be worth like ten times that today
and im buying my first used Toyota corolla at 24 because of him. thanks.
People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin..
Bitcoin trading right now will be at every wise individuals list.. In few minutes you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today..
Bitcoin trading nowadays is a big change to make money...
Bitcoin: Is the only true democracy ever exists in the world..
Buy and invest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency today!!!!!!!....
Cryptocurrency is the future, trading in crypto has become a lucrative way of making money...
This man will soon be on his way up there with Jobs
He will stick around a lot longer. He will save the earth.
I forgot that the mclaren f1 is the first road mclaren.
He saw he was goin bald n was like nah I ain’t avin this
1:30 “my fear is we become spoiled brats”. Well, 22 years later your ex husband overpaid $44billion to buy twitter because people hurt his feelings 😂😂
Proof that money buys fast cars and fast women.
And hair.
21 years ago that was news.
I see hair hasn’t been his strong suit for a while!
Ironically, even though Elon Musk is the richest man in the world now, he has fewer material possessions than before.
Wait he beat bezos?
I just checked and he’s a few billion behind right now
@@ryanholder7728 He past Bezos today.
@@joshyoon I guess the Forbes live list is just fluctuating now, but its still amazing how fast his wealth has grown!
Love how he tries to make out he was poor, "I used to sleep on the office floor" Well you could have slept in your Dad's multi-million dollar house, most young people cannot follow their passions because they are to busy earning money to survive, if you got a parent bankrolling you, then yeah follow your f*cking dreams.
You know there are stories of poor people becoming rich too. You don't have to look at Elon Musk's story and complain about it. You could look at someone else's story that starts off more similar to your situation. When you see someone as poor as you make it, then it becomes harder to make excuses.
Look up the story of Do Won Chang a man who immigrated to the U.S and had to work 3 jobs simultaneously to survive.
It's a lot easier and feels way better to make excuses than it is to put your mind to work on how to get out of poverty.
@Joseph Isn't that that both his sons (Elon and Kimbal), as well as his ex-wife (Maye), despise Errol Musk?
@Joseph Maye Musk did mention Errol abusing her in some interviews, so, not just the Elon here. Not sure about Kimbal, though, but Kimbal keeps quiet in general.
He now produces a car that's faster on the take off
McLaren F1 they sell For over 10million These Days best investment Ever Truly
@superfuresh So did Mr.Bean and his still sold for over 10 million after sending it Back to McLaren and making it right Againv
Let's be honest here; the main reason this gorgeous woman is with him is for the money/security maybe? Maybe not. Women sometimes tend to be more attracted to the person/personality and future security than men. I am a man... men are super superficial; whether gay or straight. It's not to say women aren't attracted to looks, but most women know that looks fade (and women are the first victims of that), so maybe she truly was in love with him. Not surprised it didn't last though (nor his other marriages)... excessive money & power can turn you into a monster I imagine.
That’s true.
He always was a decent person. Not a big mouth, not arrogant. Confident yes, and he has reasons for being.
and look at him now, threatening twitter because he didn't get his way
+ probably tax evaded but not enough proof
@@ChadBlox Even decent people do questionable things at times, and I don’t understand his Twitter initiative. Or at least I don’t think that taking away censorship towards lies and false information has any advantages.
i wanna be like him when i grow old
Watching this is like watching Austin Powers flashback to when he was in spy school.
