Elon Musk Podcast

In today's episode, we're going to unpack Tesla's latest offering, and no, it's not a new electric vehicle. It's actually a limited-edition set of beers, retailing for a hefty $150. We'll also touch upon the contrasting fortunes of Elon Musk and Bernard Arnault, owner of the luxury conglomerate LVMH, and how Tesla's merchandising moves may be impacting the luxury sector.

In this episode, we delve deep into the innovative world of Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind groundbreaking companies like Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company. Explore Musk's unique trajectory from his early days in Silicon Valley to his ambitious plans for space travel and beyond. Whether you're intrigued by the latest Tesla models, SpaceX's mission to Mars, Neuralink's brain-computer interface, or The Boring Company's urban transport solutions, join us as we unpack the genius and drive of one of the most influential figures of the 21st century.

In today's episode, we’re focusing on the U.S. electric vehicle market, which recently hit an impressive milestone with over 300,000 EV sales in just the third quarter. But interestingly, Tesla's market share has decreased. We'll be examining these sales figures and looking into what the future holds for Tesla and other automakers in the ever-competitive EV space.

Today, we have an absolutely fascinating story that touches upon our unending quest to understand the universe and our place in it. It's about NASA's seven-year mission, Osiris-Rex, to the asteroid Bennu and the bounty of scientific treasures it has brought back to Earth. The mission recently concluded, revealing some unexpected finds that could reshape our understanding of planetary sciences, and it also opens up a world of possibilities for future space exploration. Astronomers and scientists are exhilarated over the initial results coming out of the Osiris-Rex mission. The spacecraft's voyage to Bennu culminated in September when a capsule carrying rock samples and space dust safely landed in the Utah desert.

Today, we're shifting gears a bit to talk about a compelling NASA mission that aims to explore an asteroid called Psyche. This asteroid isn't just any space rock; it's largely metallic and resembles the Earth's core. With the launch slated as soon as this Thursday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Psyche mission is expected to open new frontiers in our understanding of planetary formation. We'll be covering various aspects of this mission, from the spacecraft's journey to why this particular asteroid is so vital for scientific research. The idea of exploring an asteroid may seem futuristic, but the future is closer than you think. NASA's Psyche mission has been in the works for quite some time, with a year-long delay throwing a small wrench into the planning. Nevertheless, the spacecraft, named after the asteroid it aims to explore, is prepped and almost ready for its expedition. The launch vehicle for this mission? SpaceX's triple-core Falcon Heavy rocket, which will propel the spacecraft on a six-year, 2.2 billion-mile journey.

Today, we have a spectacular story to talk about—Tesla's recent Cybertruck test drive that's causing quite the buzz. To make things even more intriguing, this test was no ordinary drive around the block. Tesla engineers used two Cybertrucks and a Starlink Mobility unit to live stream their drive along the challenging Baja 1000 rally route, a 900-mile stretch featuring all kinds of terrains. With over 2 million views and counting, the video showcases the vehicle's off-road capabilities in a jaw-dropping fashion.

The next astronauts to walk on the moon will wear spacesuits designed in partnership with fashion icon Prada. Houston-based Axiom Space is developing spacesuits for NASA's Artemis III mission that plans to land the first woman and person of color on the moon in 2025. The company announced a partnership with Prada this week.

Today, we're going to discuss something a bit peculiar happening on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter and now owned by Elon Musk. Users have noticed a strange new kind of ad in their feeds, an ad format that lacks transparency and doesn't allow user interaction like retweets or likes. Even more perplexing is that these ads don't disclose who's behind them or even acknowledge that they're ads. Is this a desperate move on X's part, an indicator that the platform is having trouble attracting advertisers? We'll explore the five key angles to this development, from what these ads look like to why they might be signaling deeper issues within X.

The Starship system is a fully reusable, two‑stage‑to‑orbit super heavy‑lift launch vehicle under development by SpaceX. The system is composed of a booster stage named Super Heavy and a second stage, also called "Starship"
