| 0:00.0 | Welcome, it is the Ben Ferguson podcast. Really nice to have you with us. And if you missed part one of my |
| 0:07.7 | interview with Elon Musk with Senator Cruz, you may have seen it's gone viral. Elon Musk tweeting out |
| 0:14.6 | multiple clips from the interview and the media world covering it wall-to-wall being used everywhere, even in the mainstream media. |
| 0:23.1 | Well, now today's show is even more meaningful in part two, |
