Yesterday, Elon Musk, all these videos are going viral. They're everywhere. And they're like, yeah, this is AI. My son's like, that's AI, this is AI, that's AI. I'm like, no, Tesla tweeted this. No, that's AI. And then all of a sudden, you're like, Elon is talking about this. We have to have an audience. As a matter of fact, there's a video, I don't know if you have the video or not, I'll send it to you in a minute. Elon's like, we have to have an audience because people are not gonna believe what we're launching today. They're gonna say this is AI, and it's not. This is real.

So this car all of a sudden starts flying, flipping, turning around. And for the people that have vertigo, you're watching the same. I would never in a million years want to do this. I just want you to see this. And by the way, did you guys see the car that he did? How fast it went to 60? Did you see that clip? One second. It went to 16.8, one second.

SPEAKER_2 (0:47)

Vinny, you have to see that. It's insane.

Patrick Bet-David (0:51)

Go ahead and play this clip. Go for it.

SPEAKER_2 (0:52)

Wow.

Patrick Bet-David (0:54)

Watch this. Again, this is not AI.

SPEAKER_4 (0:57)

Sexy. Bro.

SPEAKER_5 (1:07)

Like, how is that? Like, how is that real?

Tom (1:11)

No, I'll tell you.

SPEAKER_4 (1:12)

You're telling me that's real.

Patrick Bet-David (1:13)

That is real.

SPEAKER_4 (1:15)

That just happened.

Patrick Bet-David (1:16)

That just happened. There's an audience there. That just, and that's one of the clips. I'm about to send a couple of other clips to the guys in the back. And the best, watch this, watch this, watch this. Go, keep playing it. Watch this one. Oh, that music.

SPEAKER_2 (1:27)

You can't do it with the music.

SPEAKER_5 (1:29)

Pat, me and you in there are throwing up horribly.

Patrick Bet-David (1:32)

You know what the question Tico kept asking? Is there anybody in the car? Dylan kept asking. Is there anybody in the car? I'm like, that's actually a pretty good question if somebody was in the car. So, this announcement comes out. So, I'm guesstimating the Tesla stock today when the market opens, if it already did. Can we look at how Tesla stock is doing, Tom? I mean, I don't know, when you do a launch like that, people have to sit there and say, okay, it's up, nothing crazy, less than a percent, but it just started. So, we'll see what happened with the announcement.

Tom (2:00)

Hey, go back to five days real quick. Yep, there's the car taking off right there at the end.

Patrick Bet-David (2:04)

So, go to the video, go to the top left, go to the top of with Elon speaking. Is this the one where he says, we had to do this live because some of it may be AI? Go ahead, go for it. Watch this.

SPEAKER_3 (2:16)

Are you going to see some crazy stuff tonight?

Like, we need an audience to prove that it's not AI or SI. So, you guys can tell people you saw it with your eyes. Because what you see with your eyes, you will not believe.

Patrick Bet-David (2:38)

There's not a lot.

SPEAKER_3 (2:40)

But you're going to see the results of what happens when you have a collaboration with the world's best car company and the world's best rocket company.

Patrick Bet-David (2:50)

Do you think he's slightly competitive?

SPEAKER_3 (2:53)

And this is the culmination of incredible work by Tesla and SpaceX engineers working closely together to make something that you haven't seen in any movie that's better than any James Bond car. Are you going to see some?

Patrick Bet-David (3:13)

You can pause it right there. Let me show one more and then I'm going to come to you first, Adam.

Can you do me a favor? Play the clip of Elon on Rogan the first time he's on there. This is very important. This is the first time he's on Rogan. They're having a conversation. Elon's explaining to him what he's building. Watch this clip. Go forward. For real?

SPEAKER_2 (3:36)

He's laughing. He's thinking.

Patrick Bet-David (3:37)

He's joking.

SPEAKER_3 (3:38)

I think ultra-high pressure compressed air.

Patrick Bet-David (3:42)

2018

SPEAKER_3 (3:43)

It's called gas thrusters.

SPEAKER_5 (3:45)

Do you have to have air tanks or are they sucking the air out of it? Okay.

SPEAKER_3 (3:48)

Yeah, it's an electric pump.

SPEAKER_4 (3:50)

Whoa.

SPEAKER_3 (3:50)

Pump it up to like 10,000 PSI.

SPEAKER_2 (3:52)

And how fast are we talking?

SPEAKER_4 (3:54)

Zero to 60
