00:00Trying to understand Elon is like trying to assemble IKEA furniture in the dark.

00:08Except we have no instructions and the pieces keep changing shape.

00:12We Europeans often dismiss him as a barbaric cowboy.

00:16We pride ourselves on being the educated adults in the room.

00:20Well, if we are so clever, let's prove it.

00:24And for that, let's use Carl Jung to talk about Elon.

00:27The Swiss psychologist defines archetypes.

00:30But there is a catch. For every positive face, there is a shadow.

00:36First, the creator.

00:38He is the visionary building rockets that one day will take him to Mars.

00:43But his shadow is the anarchist.

00:46He treats SpaceX explosions as data and he is willing to burn billions

00:51and occasionally break laws just to see if his toys work.

00:55Second, the ruler.

00:58If money is the measurement of success, he is the most profitable CEO in the world

01:04who just secured one trillion dollar deal at Tesla to keep him.

01:09But his shadow is the tyrant.

01:11When he took over Twitter, he didn't just restructure it.

01:15He decapitated it.

01:17He fired 80% of the staff in weeks, demanding hardcore loyalty just to prove he holds the crown.

01:25And third, the jester.

01:28The internet troll posting memes that people laugh at.

01:32But here, the shadow is the nihilist.

01:35The cruel trickster who retweets posts comparing the EU to the Fourth Reich.

01:39But not for the lols.

01:41He simply believes nothing matters anymore.

01:44Elon is a spectacle we cannot look away from.

01:48Maybe he is just seeking validation from his favourite former reality TV star.

01:53But that, on the other side, would be Freud.

01:57So, Mr. Musk, which Elon are you today?

02:01Why will it be his favourite undone way to his death due to his death?

02:11The saitel in the world of 1850.

02:15.
