After buying Twitter for $44 billion, Musk's time as CEO has been a whirlwind. Shares of Musk's other major company, Tesla, have plummeted more than 30 percent since he took over Twitter. As is often the case, his next move is unclear.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:40)
I'd go as far to say that he's demonstrating some erratic behavior.

**Elon Musk** (0:44)
Go fuck yourself.

**Jason** (0:47)
Is that clear?

**Elon Musk** (0:49)
I hope it is.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:51)
Hey, Bob.

**Elon Musk** (0:51)
Share in the audience.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:54)
Elon Musk's cooperation and or relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:04)
The Biden administration has just announced its second investigation in the Elon Musk in less than a week.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:10)
Both the Tesla and SpaceX, there's a product roadmap that they're on, and that whether Elon is in the building or not, it's not going to impact the plan that they have.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:22)
People said he'd never get the rocket in space.

**David Sacks** (1:24)
He did that. People said the roads here would never get delivered. He did that.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:27)
People said he'd never get a hundred of them done. He's got 200 done. As an entrepreneur, you can't listen to the noise. You certainly can't listen to losers who have never accomplished anything with their life, who are obsessing about you. Please.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:43)
We're out there among the stars, and we're a multi-planet species across many planets and many star systems. This is a great future, and that's what we should strive for.

**Elon Musk** (2:01)
To our customer support at your service.

**David Friedberg** (2:05)
Nearly every VC I speak with, every CEO is looking to Elon's behavior and saying, that's a model for how you can challenge your team to achieve the impossible in an impossibly difficult environment. And you can see those grid fins on your left-hand screen, rotating and turning to guide the booster.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:22)
And there's that landing gun.

**David Sacks** (2:26)
Landing gun just begun.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:41)
He's just a visionary like I've never seen. How on earth would you bet against him?

**SPEAKER_11** (2:46)
Elon seems to be on track to be not only the world's richest man, but the world's first trillionaire.

**SPEAKER_12** (2:51)
Elon basically has had over the last 10 or 15 years, an incredible amount of challenges that he's overcome. Probably had to deal with stuff that most of us would have broken under, and he just fought through it. And the guy just basically bended all the haters until he crushed their souls. And I just think that that's incredible.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:22)
This generation, Elon Musk.

**SPEAKER_12** (3:30)
I'm going to take this.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:37)
All right.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:41)
Thanks for taking the time.
How are you doing, brother? You keeping busy?

**Elon Musk** (3:52)
Yeah. I mean, it's rarely a slow week.

**Jason** (3:59)
I mean, in the world as well.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (4:02)
Yeah.

**Elon Musk** (4:02)
I mean, any given week, it just seems like the things get nuttier.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (4:06)
It's definitely a simulation. We've agreed on this at this point.

**Elon Musk** (4:10)
I mean, well, if we are in some alien Netflix series, I think the ratings are high.

**Chamath Palihapitiya** (4:16)
Yes. How are the freedom of speech wars going? This is a, you've been at war for two years now. Yes. The price of freedom of speech is not cheap, is it?

**Elon Musk** (4:33)
I think it's like 44 billion, something like that.

**David Sacks** (4:38)
Give or take a billion?

**Elon Musk** (4:39)
Yeah, around numbers.
It's pretty nutty. There is like this weird movement to quell free speech around the world. This is something we should be very concerned about. You have to ask why was the First Amendment a high priority? Yeah, it was like number one. It's because people came from countries where if you spoke freely, you would be imprisoned or killed. They were like, well, we would like to not have that here, because that was terrible.
Actually, there's a lot of places in the world right now, if you're critical of the government, you get imprisoned or killed. Right.

**Jason** (5:28)
Yeah, we'd like to not have that. Are you concerned?

**SPEAKER_11** (5:31)
Can I add to that?

**David Sacks** (5:32)
Yeah.

**Elon Musk** (5:34)
