What the episode covers
Grouped from the official Apple chapter list. ElonPod stores the runtime as about 1 hour. That list's final chapter starts at 1:16:43, so the Apple listing runs longer than the index string.
- Twitter and the press: using Twitter without a filter, and picking fights with the press.
- 2018: the year as described in the chapter title, why he pushes himself, the toll on Tesla employees, and self-inflicted wounds and sleep.
- Tesla: a profitable quarter, self-driving cars, government regulation, competitors, the decision not to go private, the Semi, a pickup and other products, and why Tesla will not make a scooter.
- Space: SpaceX, Mars, a Space Force chapter, colonizing beyond Earth, and Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin and Amazon.
- The Boring Company: a chapter that also names drilling technology.
- Close: Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi investors and techlash; how he feels about the future; and one redo from 2018.
