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.
