| 0:00.0 | I'm sure you remember that massive volcano that erupted. It was so sad. It took out Tonga, |
| 0:08.1 | killed at least three people, a little South Pacific country. And what's interesting is that the country |
| 0:13.4 | is served by a lot of people don't realize this, by an undersea cable. And this cable is about the |
| 0:18.1 | size of a garden hose. So the volcano erupted. |
| 0:21.3 | It took out their internet. |
| 0:23.6 | And so Elon Musk gets on Twitter. |
| 0:25.4 | Of course, he does. |
| 0:26.6 | And he says, hey, you know, everyone, maybe I can send some Starlink satellite to Tonga so that this way they can have some internet access. |
| 0:33.0 | Now, in case you don't know, SpaceX, Starlink. |

| 1:11.2 | that if you invested early in Tesla stock, well, you'd probably be a billionaire. And if you |
| 1:16.7 | invested early in, say, Apple stock, maybe a billionaire, maybe a millionaire, but if you just |
| 1:22.5 | invested $10 in any stock, in any product, maybe like the beginning of Campbell's Soup or anything like |
| 1:29.1 | that. In 1890, well, you'd be dead. And we're really glad that you're not because after |
