Likewise. Already recorded last night's show. May not even watch the Jeb Bush. I can see why Elon chose tonight's show.
Politicians on Tuesday and Thursday.

And Scarlett Johansson tonight. Must have been a tough decision.

Just your average chit chat tonight. I didn't expect anything so its no biggie.

Wow. I think they devoted too much time to the Model X and didn't talk enough about the other things he does.

You mean SpaceX. No mention of model x.

But what was said about SpaceX?

Any interesting details?

Yup, Stephen called EM a super villain 2 or 3 times. :smile:

Stephen is still getting his balance after his long hiatus, IMHO, hope things improve on his show.

No mention at all in televised portion that I viewed of MX or M3. :crying:

It seemed to me that Elon was to be incredibly nervous.

Man Elon is such a badass that has the biggest balls and has taken the biggest risks and succeeded but he's still socially shy!


At least he's genuine though and not the typical CEO.

Any site on the interwebs that we could watch the Late Show of last night ?

Every interview of Elon is exactly the same. It's getting boring.

Then probably we spend to much time here and with Elon's interviews. This man can't reinvent oneself every week.

Time to relax and take a TM-Break?[emoji6]

[FULL INTERVIEW] Stephen Colbert with Elon Musk. Sep 09, 2015 - YouTube
Probably wont stay up for long, but the link above has last night's segment. Sound is fine, but it's literally someone videoing their TV at home. I found it positive and amusing... little Tesla, though Colbert said he has one and loves it.

I'm not criticizing Elon, or Colbert. Just that late show interviews always talk about Tony Stark, that he wants to colonize Mars, that he's the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, etc. There's never any really interesting questions in there that probe much beyond that.

My point is that the man is truly interesting, yet the questions are always the same. At this point Elon's a bit of a celebrity and lots of people know him (look at the autographs he signed after the show, for instance). Would be nice to hear something more.

It's kind of like watching Bjorn's videos....I mean how many times can we watch him drive from one end of Norway to the other.

Interviews like this would be nerve wracking, most people are nervous.

Unfortunately nothing worth listening to and Colbert would never give Elon any time to talk, just lots of jokes.
