| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody quick clarification on today's episode for YouTube it made more sense to split into two episodes for the audio podcast I just kept it as one so it might be a little bit confusing what I'm talking about but both are combined into one episode here. With that, we'll get into it. |
| 0:14.4 | Hey everybody, Rob Maurer here and today we are talking about Elon Musk's second appearance on the Joe Roggan podcast. |
| 0:26.8 | This happened during market trading so I wanted to do a quick recap here for those that don't have two hours to watch it during the day. |
| 0:33.0 | In addition to Rogin, we do have some rumors and news going around about Tesla's production |
| 0:36.4 | status in China and in Fremont. We'll cover that in another episode later today, |
| 0:39.8 | but I did want to get this out as soon as possible. |
| 0:42.1 | Let me just start by saying that I don't think there was anything too shocking in this interview, |
| 0:46.4 | the full two hours I've watched it now. |
| 0:48.2 | It was of course very interesting as it always is with Elon, |
| 0:50.4 | but there was nothing like there was last time on Roggen where Elon smoked marijuana. |
| 0:54.7 | This time I think the most breaking news was actually how to pronounce the name of Elon and |
| 0:58.2 | Grimes newborn son. |
| 0:59.8 | This of course got a lot of attention over the last couple of days with Grimes breaking it down on |
| 1:03.6 | Twitter. The name is X and then an old English character that looks like an A mixed with an E and |
| 1:08.8 | then A12, so people were understandably confused about that. Elon today said it's pretty simple, it's X, and then Ash is that middle character, |
| 1:17.0 | and then A12, which is the precursor to their favorite airplane, the SR 71. |
| 1:22.0 | So it looks like the pronunciation is X, Ash, A12. Anyway, moving into more of the business realm, what I was curious about was Elon's commentary around the coronavirus situation and how Tesla might be positioned in terms of reopening the factory. |
| 1:34.8 | We obviously saw him express a lot of frustration around the shelter-in-place orders and governmental |
| 1:40.2 | restrictions in the United States and probably particularly as it relates to their |
| 1:43.9 | ability to operate in Fremont. |
| 1:45.9 | This was not directly addressed in the Joe Rogan interview, but Elon did say, quote, |
| 1:49.6 | I think we are rapidly moving towards opening up the country, it's going to happen extremely fast |
