Footnotes: 00:02 - $4 - $20 Billion is the latest estimate. 00:34 - Rumor has it his father got his share of that mine by trading a private jet for it. (was probably not that fancy of a jet, but still) 00:38 - This belief is purely based on the average age of learning to swim confidently in the deep end of the alphabet. 01:51 - His head and heart must be just massive to take on that burden. Poor Chap. 02:31 - If it's not clear, The Wall is a critique of Fascism, and while your here American Psycho is a satire. 02:40 - Why is twitter verification not government subsidized? 02:55 - This is a real channel & Wham Baam Teslacam is the greatest channel name in history. 03:28 - I couldn't find a way to include it in the video, but one reason for the rediculous number of safety violations is Elon's dislike for the colour yellow, so it was removed... even on the hazard markings and safety signs. 04:45 - Pantone's stranglehold on the colour market is unacceptable. It's the colour of a plant! itgrows out of the ground! 05:21 - Even softer than you'd think. 05:43 - The Namek Sage should be mandatory in all art schools. 05:59 - I was particularly proud of getting the cheeks to bounce opposite the muscles for this one. 08:14 - I'm not discounting using circles, guides or grids, I've even used circles myself in times of need. But they're not the be all and end all of good design. 08:43 - One Step Closer has aged beautifully. Even the video. 09:28 - I'm ashamed of how proud I am of this creation. 09:50 - If you don't know, they're jailbraking primates brains to presumably emulate Diddy Kong Racing. I'll be adding to this answeringmore comment, so stop by later for the extended edition!

One of my favorite videos you've done. I love how you bend genres and make me feel like I've just watched 5 different types of KZfaq video wrapped into one

I've enjoyed every fricking second watching this show, this is a massive masterpiece!

This video was the trifecta of perfection: - Educational process video - Extremely entertaining and well-edited - An exceptional roast Well done!

How many animation techniques do you want to see? Marriot, Ben: "Yes!"

A masterclass in subtlety. You were always a clever egg

Of all the incredible roasting in this video, saying "long list of exes" and then playing the bassline to Oblivion by Grimes at 10:06... *chef's kiss*

This is fucking hilarious Ben!!! Not only are the designs brilliant but the video is written and paced so well. Had me giggling throughout!

DAMN Ben, you went hard with this one hahaha. Roasting Elon with acid humor + good old Ben design and animation.... It may have become my new favorite of all your videos!

Do you all realise how generous this man is?! Entertaining, educational and we get the project file after. You're a legend Ben

I find it hilarious how people believe Elon works 24/7 meanwhile he didn't even create Tesla

I expected nothing less of amazing from you and you still blew me out of the window with this one! Your storytelling and humor are a treasure, Ben.

Why did Elon even change it in the first place it was a good logo.

The most anticipated video EVER is finally here!

Your production quality is maxed out, I couldn't think of how the video could be better! I hope that it's a popular enough niche for you to keep making videos because I enjoy them a lot!

Man you are a damn psycho! Not only the (amazing) X ideas and animations, but the amount of PREP... Collecting assets, screenshots, screen recording, research, scripting, etc etc etc.... Commendable work man, you are a massive inspiration! Would love to meet you at The Nod Melbourne next month! 😍

incredible effort, man! Entertaining and educational at the same time. We appreciate the hard work!

This is such a fantastic video. also subtly adding Grimes' Oblivion at 9:59 is insanely funny.

This is hands down one of your best, with so much visual goodness and roasting. And ending on a miniature - the best!

Free project file from Ben? Thats a steal

lol, you really upped the humor slider for this video. One of your best video's so far! Love all the different styles!

After 3 minutes into the video I knew I had to subscribe. This video is one of the most entertaining KZfaq videos I have watched in a long time on this platform! Every section felt like it's own different video! The humor was excellent, and the animations were incredible! Great job!

It brought a tear to my eye how well crafted and executed this was! Not kidding. Keep it up man, loving this direction ! This has to be one of the greatest youtube videos I've seen this year ! ❤

i had no idea you could make miniatures and compose music. just how skilled are youuuu!!! lots of love man. you inspire me to do better

This was such a great video. Loved seeing all of the iterations you came up with and that there was a concept and reasoning behind each one. The Gatsby and Mars logos were top notch! 🙌

Oh, again such a beautifully thought out and detailed video. I love the part with the circles on the logos, just today I explained a new logo of mine like that.

the editing on all your recents are extremely well executed! loved the subtle course plug. understand these tubers got to get their money up, but i always fly past their 3 hour long explanation on why i should buy their course.

Insane video, going to watch it again and again…

You are hilarious Ben! Great animations, what an incredible amount of work. The legos alone! I've been reading/practicing from elemental magic over the summer and I love how you broke down your smoke animation.

This video is a GEM

Why are your videos so f-ing good? I can't believe how high-quality production and natural they feel at the same time

Loved this video. With different mediums being incorporated feels like a mashup with Jazza, as he experiments with different art style or mediums and would love more of this

Superb video! Perfectly accomplished satire, yet also, amazingly educational. Loved it.

amazing collection of effects, as well as some top class commentary on all things Xcessive

It was an incredible dose of inspiration only for 12 minutes! Fantastic work and I feel how much time you spent doing it! Ben, it's absolutely worth it!💖🤟

aside from your amazing animation skills, I love that you are not on that self made billionaire bullshit propaganda you are clearly educated on the matter and I respect you even more for it 💗

this is awesome, and I really appreciate the detailed explanations about how you applied these patterns/themes. Research! One thing that REALLY helps with creating meaningful work. tanx!

Hands down some of your best work. 11/10, no notes! Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish! 💪

This was incredible. It's been highly anticipated with your small teases through insta stories - but I never expected this. Brilliant and funny, as always ❤‍🔥

Favorite little Easter egg was when you where talking about Elon’s “long list of X’s” and had the song Oblivion playing in the background, aka a song made by his ex lolol. So good.

I wish I was capable of creatively dunking on someone this hard You're a treasure as always Ben

You did your research. Went above and beyond in quality of jokes, production, variety, and writing. The satirical nature here is perfect, it slowly reveals more information to those who might still be unaware Elon Stans without raising the guards. Going on my favorites playlist. I would say to keep making these but i cant fathom the work it took to create this project so successfully, so ill just say next time you feel inspired to do something like this i think yiu should!

You could make a tutorial about each logo version for about an hour and I would love to watch it. And I dig your humor.

this was an insanely creative video Ben!

It’s giving everything everywhere all at once. Incredible video. Thank you!!!

I'm impressed! The production quality has reached a new level, man. Super well-structured, full of useful information, witty and entertaining. Seriously, well done!

Fantastic video, man. Your content just continues to get better and better. This is quite a feat, seeing as it's always been top-notch to begin with.

Found this channel yesterday because I needed learn how to create a simple animation in After Effects. Wasn't expecting awesome content like this too 😂

You're so creative. Truly inspiring work. Thank you for labeling those layers. 😊

Absolutely hilarious. Clever as ever and love that you're composing more music. Elon should be proud of your no-holds-barred animation tour de force.

This is an amazing video, thanks Ben!

What a video! Congrats, Ben!! This was awesome

bro how are you so talented and funny???????? definitely signing up for your course. hoping to catch the same humor sense in your materials too!

An incredible balance between entertaining content and useful tutorials seasoned with top quality. Just wow!

Ben Marriott is not only my favorite artist, he's also my favorite comedian. All the bits are just well-timed and hilarious, executed with such grace and cleverness!

loved everything about this man. great work

The blue and white logo at 6:29 actually looks cute! If they'd chosen that one, i think less people would be as upset. It keeps the same whimsical vibes as the little birdie, but with the X musk wanted. It was fantastic!

That was amazing literally every second is pure gold

Superb, no other words. Every second is a cinematic masterpieces, even the memes

Your humor and design/animation style is flawless!!!

You are amazing dude id seen your daily stories on IG and is mindblowing the amount of work you put in this video.

Uh I forgot you teased this on your IG stories! What a treat to come home to! :D

Awesome!

Like always, Ben Marriot's videos perfectly combine great motion graphics and superb editing. A Masterpiece!!!!

This video is so inspiring. The creativity on display is through the roof! You are always outdoing yourself!

I followed the whole process on Instagram and let me tell you an unfathomable amount of effort and experimentation went into this, great work!

“Every horcrux was in place … I’m not 100% on the metaphor I’ve never finished the hunger games” 😂

This is an absolute masterpiece. I can see why it took you so long to create / edit! Bravo, sir 👏👏 Which one was your favorite to create?

Absolutely brilliant!

A testament to your creativity! My fav was the old film version Horcrux No 7

this is WILD. I love the ideas, the humour AND final video. great work!

"Genesis" song intro on the part when you spoke about the eXes is GENIUS :D

You're well out there Ben, love it. Mad skillz too

This is incredible. Great work

might be your best video yet! all the animations are top notch and the video itself was truly a joy to watch!

Dude... the raising desk and feet coming out of the shoes had me dead. Amazing Video and I learned a lot

Really loved this new style of presentation Ben, the humour and the editing in this video was honestly too good, 12 minutes flew by so fast. Also, did you hire an editor?

"All the way down to the top." seems like such an underrated joke

This is more than a tutorial video, this is like a motion graphic documentary and I'm here for it!

The standing desk cutaway to feet had me ROLLING hahaha

Thank you for the sacrifice of your KZfaq feed to bring us this! Is the roast we didn't know we needed.

The editing and attention to detail are just spot on. Great video.

yeh this is your new type of videos now Ben - so good bro !!!

This rules. Not only does this video feature sumptuous animation, design, cinematography, and sound design, it genuinely made me laugh.

THAT VIDEOCOPILOT INTRO SOUND THO AHAHAHAHAHHA OMG YOU'RE A GENIOUS

the effort put into this video is crazy. well done once again.

Not only artistic, a masterclass of trolling! You deserve an Emmy!

I used to think that Elongated Muskrat was a quirky weirdo back when he just made the car equivalent of the Nokia Brick, but when he tried and failed to name PayPal as X and got dethroned as the owner of PayPal, I thought that the nightmares would be over... But, it's never truly over until pest control can come and remove the muskrat from your office building... Sadly, pest control was too late to save Twitter, and for some reason, the old employees actually listened to the voices in their head that said they were fired, and a new group of furries took their old jobs, creating a cult that praises the elongated rodent as an overlord.

wow. Just Amazing. So much efforts to do this little piece of art, but wow...this is so inspirational, this is Motion at its finest. Bravo!

Absolutely adore this video 🎉 love all the hard work and Lego pieces you invested into this video, cheers 🍻

My former boss recommended me your channel so I can improve my motion graphic skills. So far, I am liking your content and hope I learn a thing or two and hopefully become a master at Motion Graphics

Love how you added some of Grimes’ music in there!

Criminally underrated video

I quietly said "holy moly" after finishing this video. One of your best, if not your best videos.

This is brilliant. My brain is full of Design Dopamine now.

just so good and i am definitely smiling

Ben, this is absolute brilliance. Bravo. 👏👏👏

Fantastic video! I enjoyed all the jabs and the clip choices LMFAO

love your videos :D sense of humor is to the spot (marked with X)!

Ben, recently I had tough time, struggling both in life and in my job as motion designer. Then I found THIS. You can’t really imagine how inspiring everything in this video - you approach, ideas, narrative, jokes… Thank you bro, I found one more spark to reignite my seek for art) PS. Now I’m watching your videos 1 by 1. Can’t stop) Thank you for project!
