| 0:00.0 | So Burto, the psychology of Elon Musk. |
| 0:03.6 | Yay! My goodness, when the patrons asked us to do this and we started looking into it, researching |
| 0:10.9 | for it, I thought, well, there's probably not that much to talk about. |
| 0:16.0 | One or two episodes. |
| 0:17.2 | There's so much to talk about. |
| 0:18.8 | There's always so much to talk about. |
| 0:21.5 | This guy every day, I was telling Stacy, legitimately, you could say that every couple |
| 0:27.4 | weeks for the past at least 10 years, maybe longer, he has had a major event that any other super famous person might only have one or two of those |

Also, a lot of what he has reported is corroborated by |
| 1:34.8 | interviews and books by his family members, his coworkers, his former spouses. |
| 1:40.4 | There are also interviews with his children, most notably one that we'll talk about in a future chapter. |
| 1:47.0 | There are several documentaries and articles and biographies. |
| 1:50.0 | I've read some of the main biographies. |
| 1:53.8 | There's just so much to get into it. |
| 1:55.0 | And of course, he tweets about a thousand times a day. |
