| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody Rob Ma'er here and I guess it's award season because today we are yet again talking about another Elon Musk Award |
| 0:13.6 | actually a couple of them after of course yesterday we had discussed Musk's |
| 0:17.2 | interviews at the acceptance of the Axel Springer Award. We also have some news on the |
| 0:20.8 | progress at Gegaburlin and then an update on the situation with |

| 1:06.1 | The first time being back in 2013, |
| 1:08.8 | which I think if you look at Tesla's stock price, |
| 1:11.0 | both of those years kind of make sense. So with this award, |
| 1:14.0 | Fortune has done a lengthy profile on Musk with a few interesting quotes that we'll talk |
