He goes, if you get things done, I love you. And if you don't, I hate you. I thought that was

0:06.0

so great. What a weird out. When I heard it, I was like, that's how Sam is.

0:13.1

I feel like I can rule the world. I know I could be what I want to. I put my all in it like no days

0:20.2

off on a road. Let's travel. Can I tell you about this Elon Musk podcast? Did you listen to this cheeky pint episode with Elon? I saw it. Didn't listen to it. You got to listen to this thing. This is an amazing podcast. Who's the Indian guy? I started seeing him pop up like out of nowhere. Dworkash. Dworkesh is a podcaster. He's got the,

0:40.2

he's got his own YouTube channel and whatnot. He is this unicorn because he's a really good

0:45.2

podcaster. Like he's got good energy, good vibe. You like listening. He's like an authentic nerd in a way,

0:50.8

but he's also technical. So one of the reasons this podcast is really interesting is because normally Elon says something

0:56.5

and he'll be like, I predict that in four years we will have, you know, whatever,

1:03.9

10 more data centers in space than we have on earth cumulatively.

1:08.3

And then what me or you or Joe Rogan or any of us would do when he says that. Whoa. That's crazy, man. How are you going to do that? Right? It's like that. Like, come on, bro. Like, you know, that's all we're capable of. Like, our little peanut mine can only do so much. with this guy like, but Elon, that doesn't make sense because electricity doesn't work the same way in space or whatever.

1:42.0

Yeah, he was pushing back the whole time to where I was like, is Elon going to throw his drink in his face? Like, what's going on here? Is he going to get mad that this guy keeps pushing back on every idea that he says? and because he pushed back.

1:42.7

So he would be like,

1:44.6

but why do we need that?

1:47.0

You're talking about this much energy.

2:18.7

That could be done by this many solar panels. That could fit in just Nevada. So why do we need space to power this? And then Elon would be like, well, here's the reason why, permitting and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, but won't there be other problems in space other problems in space that are just as difficult? How are you going to fix a broken GPU when it's in space? Like, what are you going to do for maintenance? That's going to be incredibly difficult to do when it's floating in space. And Elon was like, you know, then had to like come back with a counterpoint each time. So that was one remarkable thing about the podcast was somebody with enough technical acumen to on the fly calculate.

2:22.2

So Elon would say something about space and that he'd be like, so if you're going to do

2:25.7

10,000 launches, that means you're launching a starship every hour.

2:29.8

Every hour you're going to do a starship launch?

2:31.8

How many have you done the last, you've done like, you know, three or whatever in the last year?

2:34.9

Like, that's, is that even possible to do an hour every hour? And then Elon would be like, well, you know, there's more planes than that taking off from airports. So yes. And then they would like go into why that's like either correct or incorrect. By the way, it was really funny because the founder of Stripe is sitting there, right?

2:51.5

This is, it was like a collab.

2:53.0

It was on Cheeky Pint, funny because the founder of Stripe is sitting there,
