the people who can't hear an internal voice in their head. I don't think that's the thing. Now let me tell you about a story that's in the Wall Street Journal. Not a story, an opinion piece. It was written by Roland Fryer, who's a professor of economics at Harvard. So the two things you need to know about him: he's a professor of economics at Harvard. Then the second thing you need to know about…
← Previous segment →lon Musk can make. Try to think of one other person in the world who could tell you that if things don't work out he'll make his own smartphone, and you would believe it, right? Jeff Bezos tried it. That didn't work out. But do you believe that Jeff Bezos could make a real competitive phone? Well, I don't know. He's very capable. But wouldn't you trust Elon Musk to make a smartphone in a way you wouldn't necessarily trust anybody else? And what, am I wrong? I can't think of anybody who would be more ideally suited for making a smartphone because he could pair it with Neuralink and he could pair it with his cars and he could pair it with his satellites.
And here's something that Elon Musk could do if he had a smartphone and satellites. So let's say a smartphone goes through satellites. Just think about this.

So I'm hearing people say there's a 22-minute time lag, but if you send a voice message, hey, I hope your trip to Mars was good, you know, let me know you made it okay, 20 minutes later, ring, yeah I made it okay. Isn't that, oh, and you could definitely text. You could text Mars. How's that? How's it feel up there? Pretty good. 20 minutes later, all right.
Jerry Jones. Have I ever told you that famous people have a history of being famous ever since they were kids? There are some people who seem to be around big events like all of their life. Yeah, like famously Bill Clinton met John F. Kennedy when Clinton was a kid. I don't feel like these are accidents. I feel like famous people keep having famous experiences just over and over again.
So Jerry Jones, it turns out

, not to his credit, when he was 15 years old was one of the white men, or boys I guess, who blocked the North Little Rock High School in Arkansas 65 years ago, blocked it to prevent integration of the school. So basically he was an overt racist and he was participating in an overtly racist act that was not just overtly racist. It was one of the most famous things that's happened in the United Sta…
