The report said that musk's 
vision for the town is to create

44
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,200

reportedly described plans that 
would include creating an entire

47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,000
city out of this place. 
Now this is Not the first time 

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
that musk has floated the idea 
of a city or town in Texas in 

49
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,100

designer have been involved in 
board discussions about the 

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,900
town. 
But the discussions have not led

55
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:16,000
to concrete plans going forward.
This potential project could 

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,900
raise concern, among some 
neighbors and environmental 

57
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,500
groups, members of the community
and environmental groups. 

58
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:26,800
Along with state senator, see, 
record of Austin who formerly 

59
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,300

where the boring company site is

located, have requested, a 
public meeting on the permit. 

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,500
The meeting will be held on 
March 21st. 

62
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:39,100
Now, if the permit is granted, 
the company would be able to 

63
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:44,000
dispose of 140 2,500 gallons of 
treated Wastewater A Day. 

64
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,300

65
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:50,700

draft permit issued by the Texas

00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:52,500

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,000

68
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
waste water viewer irrigation on
to 63 Acres of grassland that it

69
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,200
owns. 
Now Elon musk's potential plan 

70
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,200
to build his own town and 
Bastrop County. 

71
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,100
Texas has captured the attention
of so many people millions of 

72
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,100
people with the ambitious vision
of a Texas Utopia where 

73
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,100
Employees, could live and work 
in a self-contained community. 

74
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:19,700
And while the plans are still in
their early stages, the 

75
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:23,100
potential project is already 
sparked concerns from numerous 

76
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:26,800
people among the neighbors and 
environmental groups, and 

77
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,000
they've requested a public 
meeting on this permit. 

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,300
However, if approved the 
project, could have far-reaching

79
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:35,700
implications for the future of 
sustainable, living and 

80
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:39,300
infrastructure development in 
the area and must continues to 

81
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:42,100
push the boundaries of what's 
possible with as innovative 

82
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:44,200
ideas. 
Relentless pursuit of progress. 

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,300
Electric cars SpaceX and 
creating his own town. 

84
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:52,700
Now, he's constantly challenging
us to think outside of the box 

85
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,300
and dream big. 
And this is just possibly one of

86
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:02,100
his newest Ventures and could 
help his employees in the future

87
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,200
with the project that they're 
working on. 

88
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:09,600
Now, there's also some recent 
news about Elon and some banks, 

89
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:13,700
the recent news of the collapse 
of Silicon Valley Bank SV B, if 

90
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:16,100
you will. 
Has caused a stir among 

91
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:19,000
investors. 
However, amidst the crisis 

92
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,500
opportunities may be opening up 
for one of the most Innovative 

93
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:27,500
entrepreneurs of our time. 
And it's reporting that a bee 

94
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,900
line is up for bids for this 
possibly. 

95
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,700
But responding to a tweet. 
Suggesting that Twitter should 

96
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:35,700
by SV be and become a digital 
Bank. 

97
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,700
Must tweeted his openness to the
idea, which is resonated with 

98
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:42,900
this fans and followers, this 
isn't the first time that musk 

99
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:44,100
has shown interest in the 
banking. 

100
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:48,800
Ha 2015 must talked about 
starting his own bank to compete

101
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,600
with established. 
Financial institutions was 

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,300
unclear if you still interested 
in that idea is recent tweet 

103
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:59,400
suggests that he may be 
exploring new ways to disrupt 

104
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,900
the banking industry. 
Now musk's involvement in 

105
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:05,300
digital banking could 
potentially revolutionize. 

106
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:09,300
The sector Twitter already has a
vast user base of billions of 

107
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:12,400
people, which could provide a 
strong customer base for the 

108
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,500
digital Bank. 
Moreover musts reputation for 

109
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:19,200
innovative ideas, could attract 
new investors and bring in fresh

110
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,000
Capital. 
However, the potential risks 

111
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,700
associated with such an 
undertaking cannot be overlooked

112
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:29,300
and musk would need to navigate 
strict regulatory Frameworks, 

113
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,800
the challenges of scaling a 
digital bag and the inherent 

114
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,600
risks of operating in the 
financial sector to get this 

115
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,100
done. 
Aside from digital banking. 

116
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Musk is also shown a keen 
interest in other areas 

117
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,500
including cryptocurrency 
Dogecoin And real estate. 

118
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:49,900
Let's take a closer look at some
of these investment options and 

119
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:51,700
let's look into some 
cryptocurrency here. 

120
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:55,800
So musk views on cryptocurrency 
have been very well documented 

121
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,000
very well tweeted. 
And he has been one of the most 

122
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
vocal proponents of digital 
currencies saying that he owns 

123
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,200
Bitcoins ethereum and also 
Dogecoin. 

124
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,300
He's also encourage Tesla to 
accept Bitcoin is payments for 

125
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:09,300
its cars. 
However his interest in 

126
00:07:09,308 --> 00:07:13,400
cryptocurrency hasn't been 
without controversy from both 

127
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,900
sides. 
For instance is tweets. 

128
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:20,200
Have caused massive fluctuations
in the value of Bitcoin Dogecoin

129
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,000
and other digital currencies in 
the the past. 

130
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:26,900
Now despite the volatility 
associated with 

131
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:31,300
cryptocurrencies, they've become
a very popular asset class. 

132
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,400
In many investors have allocated
a portion of their portfolio to 

133
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,200
digital currencies. 
And institutional investors are 

134
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,400
showing an increased interest in
the space and investing in 

135
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,600
kryptos currency can be done 
through various platforms, but 

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,900
investors should be aware that 
risks are involved at the fees 

137
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:51,200
for these are a little bit High 
sometimes, so just beware. 

138
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,800
The real estate is another thing
you show nesset interest for 

139
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,300
physical things, real estate is 
one of them is spoken about the 

140
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:04,700
importance of owning tangible 
Assets in an inflationary 

141
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:07,400
environment. 
Real estate is a popular asset 

142
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,700
class, providing an inflation 
hedge as well as a steady stream

143
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:13,400
of rental income. 
However, investing in real 

144
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,800
estate can be an expensive 
Endeavor and it requires 

145
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,800
significant Capital to get 
started. 

146
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,100
Now, there's several investment 
options available for those 

147
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,100
Looking to invest in real estate
without the significant Capital 

148
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:27,500
requirements. 
One of those options is real 

149
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,900
estate investment trusts are 
eits which allow investors to 

150
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:34,000
pool their money together to 
invest in portfolio of 

151
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,100
properties. 
And another option is 

152
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:39,799
crowdfunding platforms which 
allow investors to invest in 

153
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,700
specific real estate projects. 
Now, musk's potential 

154
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:48,200
involvement in digital banking 
could create new opportunities 

155
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,000
in the financial sector for 
everybody. 

156
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Now this is pure speculation. 
At this point, Ilan said it 

157
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,700
might be a good idea. 
You might be interested and he 

158
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:02,300
has a reputation for innovative 
ideas and his vast Network. 

159
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:07,400
Could attract huge investors to 
the sector and the risks of this

160
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:12,900
could be pretty big but they 
won't be overlooked. 

161
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:15,300
He has an interest in 
cryptocurrency. 

162
