The mindset of a successful entrepreneur like Elon Musk and what it would take for him to start over with limited resources. It delves into the psychological aspects of founding a company and overcoming challenges from a founder's perspective.
I did originally come to uh North America with like I don't know 2,500 bucks [music] Canadian so I don't know maybe 2 grand US. One bag of books and one bag of clothes in Montreal at age [music] 17. So that is how I started out. At this point I have a lot of knowledge. A lot of things would have [music] to go wrong for that to be the case. It's like am I just emerging from prison perhaps? >> [laughter] >> With a stipend? All my companies have been confiscated. I mean it would take Armageddon which hopefully that doesn't happen. It's impossible for me for someone to have that amount of all the knowledge that I have and then be um dropped down to a low resource amount. [music] Cuz the reality is that either something truly catastrophic has happened like civilization has melted um or I will be able to ask people to just give me money um and with the promise that I will have a
high return which is what I'm able to do right now. Yeah. Like if you give me a dollar you will get back much more than a dollar. It's somewhat of an impossible dichotomy because civilization would have had to have been destroyed or something. Um in which case a thousand dollars is not going to solve your problems.
