Only Elon Musk can swing a sword in the 21st century and impress a woman.

[@uda911]

+Alan 999 I thinks it's the 40 billion dollar net worth

[@SuperDarius01]

+Udaiveer Singh 13 billion*

[@dogestranding5047]

Ever seen Olympic fencing?

[@jonsnow8543]

Are you joking? When I carry my longsword on the tube or on the streets the ladies are just itching to ask me about it.

[@Alan-lh9jh]

Jon Snow We talking about a two hander or a one hander?

[@USCmc2]

"i just stabbed you" *laughs maniacally* rofl.

[@TechdubberStudios]

I am sure that Elon takes his sword in his model S, and if someone says "Dude, this car kind of sucks!" he takes the sword and asks him: "what did you just say, pal?"

[@Hyarmendilcar]

More realistically, "I'm about to make you pay, pal"

[@samahirrao]

***** i really wish i could share your comment on youtube.

[@HafizBahar]

Sanghamitra Ahirrao he'll punch him into space.x

[@TheNefastor]

***** That comment was more epic that Elon Musk weilding a fricking sword and stabbing a Forbes cameraman in his own office !

[@ngoctuinh1342]

***** There musk be more jokes like yours

[@GeneralGrammarNazi]

"Elon I need a new printer this one doesn't go to space"

[@Ethan_Roberts]

Call yourself a Grammar Nazi but, after 'Elon', there should be a comma.

[@auturgicflosculator2183]

@@Ethan_Roberts If I call myself Ethan Roberts' Dad, will you give me a call on father's day?

[@felipemachado963]

Bro this video is so underrated haha, but I love this video. Elon's joy and child behavior is so lovely and fun, for a guy that had a sad childhood...

[@SrgtBarney]

man this is heartwarming because it seems the most laid back i've ever seen him. All interviews have been amazing that i've seen from him and truly inspiring, don't get me wrong, but it's always nice to see someone that's worked so hard like himself just act a bit young and free again c: i feel something like this would be demonized by news outlets and such

[@DistortedV12]

Should be titled "Softcore BDSM with Elon Musk"

they should put corny porn music in every video with him and this chick just like in tesla roadster drive

[@xijinping9576]

He's such a nerd.... I WORSHIP HIM

[@nobody6497]

+Jack Goff worship your creator who had created for us the magnet in which without it we do not have the generator and thanks your creator who created for us the conductor in which the electrons follow in it under the effect of the magnetic field and thank your creator who create for us the semiconductors which we use it in solar panel and computers . ( without the semiconductors ,, magnets ,,, conductors and oil ) there will not be the twenty century civilization we do not create any thing we just discover that the things have a links between them the creator is the one who created us and created what we do .

[@comment305]

nobody : Actually I believe Elon Musk created the computer simulation that is our lives, then programmed a clone of himself into it and made himself a billionaire. Elon Musk is our creator.

[@rustylocks92]

Yeah I believe that the simulation is speeding up to the point where I meet Elon and the thing crashes, and reboots a la BlackMirror "Hang the DJ" style...

[@mattslater1942]

​@@nobody6497pathetic.

[@sierralvx]

God, I love his laugh.

[@Grumble655]

hahahahaha paper is too strong

[@imadudin2489]

pak elon is care about 'er

[@beamie9251]

Not the only sword she saw him swinging that day...

[@MissJudyLee]

😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@JackSilver1410]

The man may be a genius, but that's no way to treat the Lady Vivamus.

[@EnlightenedSavage]

i love when he nerds out. it's way better than when he's trying to be Tony stark

[@ZenJenZ]

😂 the energy in that room though

[@josebatista5188]

That's a really dedicated reporter, going all out for a potential story. Think of the headline: "Forbes Reporter Loses Thumb to Sword-Wielding Elon Musk"

[@josebatista5188]

I think much of Musk's populist folk hero image comes from his persistence as an incorrigible man child. Other billionaires: let's discuss economics over gin and tonic. Elon Musk: I keep this cool sword in my office and sometimes I attempt to slash random things with it. When we're done with that, I have a PlayStation connected to my private movie theater. We can play some Mortal Kombat.

[@PINGPONGROCKSBRAH]

This wins the award for weirdest Elon musk video

[@rayday4644]

DO NOT DISRESPECT ANIME AROUND THIS GUY

[@naybobdenod]

Always said he was a cut above the rest :)

[@nevermistreatarodent]

You've heard of fruit ninja, now get ready for paper ninja

[@mobcat40]

Everyone stand back, he has a degree in physics

[@selcouth86]

Paper > scissors

[@gabrielkwiecinskiantunes8950]

I heard the sword dullness conundrum made Musk reallocate the entire team handling the wire cutting blade sharpening tech at SpaceX for 18 hours. The BFG missions are expected to have a damage shielding system built using the very same grass that will be planted on the soil of Mars, increasing even more the weight efficiency of the vehicle.

[@monkoko6441]

Xd

[@jcdenton9764]

so that's the infamous Mary Beth Brown at 0:30. She's basically Pepper Potts and Elon is Tony Stark. the only difference is that Elon and Mary are not together. :)

[@butterfly4610]

MB.. she was the best. Kept him on a strict diet even when he asked me to bring him a piece of cake we had for a co-workers bday..I'm sure she never gave it to him.. She planned the best parties too ...amazing woman.

[@andreasitarica469]

@@butterfly4610 Wait did you know them personally? Elon and Mary Beth? If yes, that is so cool!😊

[@Igotnogod]

Noooo! WTF! Don't give nerds sharp swords! That chick was really working her game.

[@MrMZaccone]

I have a four inch pocket knife that I can use to cut an 8x10 sheet of paper in half in mid air. Either Musk has no clue what he's doing or that blade has no edge.

[@jaqssmith1666]

i'd bet that's an Albion sword. they are sharp, but could be sharper.

[@MissJudyLee]

😂

[@alphaadhito]

Ah, the famous - unknown before Mary Beth Brown

[@hodernylukasz]

this is Hannah Elliott from Forbes

[@aatsistamahkan]

The Executioner never hesitates!

[@patlacey5574]

I took archery lessons. Did that help me win his love? Or did I lose Elon's love?

[@annacroix]

Literal rocks, paper, scissors.

[@AntiMatter3000]

Lmaooo elon musk is such a likable person..

[@robertfeeley9738]

She didn't give a damn, she was playing with Elon Musk.

[@jainjack8555]

At 00:32, is she Mary Beth brown?

[@andreasitarica469]

I think so too

[@FillingTheGap1]

It's fun to watch Elon not have to think about what he can't say about his work.

[@mrmrjims3865]

she's cute but married

[@xN4VYS34Lx]

Paper: haha, not today Elon

[@lebowski1231]

they look like teenagers. cute :D

[@MansSuperPower]

This man is a walking encyclopedia and this is what a woman is using his time for. A man would be busy drilling him about his skills and mindset. A woman just wants him as play buddy, sword wielding. 🤔

[@AlexZeBeast]

The journalist is awesome

[@Constantinezkr]

And they have a crazy entire night for 10 times

[@monam2451]

Striking moment! Vibrant, so full of life. This piece instantly sticks in memory. 🐬🌠🌌 Instead of countless meaningless economic summits that only make sleepy.

[@frankcastello9320]

I've never hated Elon Musk until this moment. How dare he treat the fine Lady Vivamus in such a fashion...

[@caesar9708]

He couldnt quite penetrate the paper with that sword. But with his own sword, he can definitely penetrate her with it :)))

[@juippi]

love the 1:46

[@rationalistfaith]

She's trying too hard to get a lawsuit out of him. Skips divorce and goes straight for an accident. Ah women these days, they have no shame.

[@wetmelon]

Beautiful sabre, but he's using it all wrong! ;)

straight from the office

The man who wrote Elon's biography referred to this as a "giant samurai sword"...

Show us the medal. Where's the medal, Forbes? Musk should endow the Heinlein prize trust with a few megabucks and make it a really encouraging competition.

2-handed sabre. what's next, dual-m60?

what the "H" people lol omg. that was crazy even for Elon.

The harder I do the lucky I get

[@Etaukan]

She's being very flirty with him, but hey, he does have BILLIONS of dollars (and just got divorced from his previous young, beautiful actress wife this year, I believe), so hey, good luck to her.
