The Hollywood Hill’s Executive Director Ariel Hauter kicks off the video with some updates on The Hollywood Hill’s new permanent event building and a mention of Armchair Revolutionary, the new crowdfunding platform also under development. That’s followed by a quick photo shoot with Ariel, Hollywood Hill Co-Founder Ori Neidich and venue host Victoria Hopper. Elon starts his talk at the 7:30 mark, first with an update on Tesla, and then into SpaceX. We had some fun with the event title (How To Shoot Your Next Film In Space) since he obviously began early on by attaching cameras to his rockets. Special thanks to our long-time volunteers for the day, Norman Gilmore, Berly Ellis, and Ina Burke, and Advisor/Donor Paris Hauter. And a fun shout out to Tosca Musk, Elon’s sister, who herself was probably in the audience as a Hollywood Hill member.

Title: How To Shoot Your Next Film In Space
Date: December 6, 2008, 2:30-6:30pm
Venue: The Home of Victoria & Dennis Hopper, Venice, CA
Speaker(s):
- Elon Musk, Founder/CEO, SpaceX
- Steve Squyres, Principal Investigator, Mars Exploration Rover Mission, JPL/NASA
Description: Now that science fiction is becoming science reality, how does Hollywood's portrayal of space change? Elon Musk is at the forefront of space travel, having founded the first privately-held company to successfully launch - just months ago - a rocket into the earth's orbit. His next mission: deliver a payload to the international space station. Once that is accomplished, his company will be forging ahead with its grand plan of colonizing space over the next century. Join us for a discussion on the future of space travel and how filming "on location" may relatively soon include space. Followed by our Galactic-themed Holiday Party (costumes encouraged!).

Back when Elon required a name tag.
-
It's crazy to see what this guy has achieved in 15 years.
-
Nobody, including the host and entire setup, was taking him seriously back then
-
Glad I’m living at the same time this human called Elon it’s alive
-
He has the rare ability to tailor his communication to the audience and not lose any bit of authenticity and genuineness.
-
Weird to think that Elon's Tesla Roadster that is parked outside is now in space
-
No slides, no notes, no PowerPoint, no teleprompter - Just his pure intent, memory, the message he wants to convey and his brain being showcased in raw form
-
He gave this presentation 2-3 weeks before both Tesla and SpaceX were supposed to go bankrupt if NASA didn't award SpaceX with a $1.6B contract and if $40M in new funding wasn't provided to Tesla on Christmas Eve. This man is blessed.
-
Guys remember, things take time.. it took ten years for him to bring SpaceX to what we see today.. Patience and hard work..
-
Elon starts talking at 7:45
-
“I feel a bit like a Bond villain”… Elon truly was ahead of his time.
-
Elon is the GOAT but nobody knew that in 2008😂
-
This guy was way ahead of his time even back then
-
from 100 cars to 5,000,000 cars, space and freedom of speech in just 15 years
-
The man of our generation!!!
-
Over a decade later, TSLA still doesn't give out dividends. A man of his word
-
15 years later and he is still just as awesome, but with more resources to do great things 👍
-
He look very humble
-
Wow this guy seems really ambitious. Wish him the best of luck with his big dreams.
-
This guy had always been very multidisciplinary knowledgeable and extremely dedicated. What a human!
