🙏 CHARITY: Let’s Invest in These Robots for #TeamSeas

00:00
I need your help getting Elon Musk to invest in robots to remove millions of pounds of
00:04
trash from the ocean.
00:06
Your time is valuable, so let me quickly explain the crazy plan:
00:09
Two years ago, a lot of smart people put together a charity called Team Trees to raise 20 million
00:14
dollars to plant 20 million trees.
00:17
Talk about economies of scale.
00:19
Well, they actually raised 23 million dollars for the Arbor Day Foundation, which has since
00:24
planted 9 million trees and will plant all 23 million by the end of next year.
00:29
23 million trees is over 80 square miles.
00:32
There are National Parks smaller than that.
00:34
23 million trees are enough to absorb 1.6 million TONS of carbon from the atmosphere,
00:40
which is the same thing as taking 350,000 gas-powered cars off the road.
00:45
That's almost as many cars as Tesla delivered in the first half of this year.
00:49
Well, you know who made the biggest donation to Team Trees?
00:52
You guessed it.
00:53
Treelon Musk, who donated a million dollars and also inspired Marc Benioff, the CEO of
00:58
Salesforce, to donate another 900 thousand.
01:01
That's almost 10% of the entire Team Trees project, thanks to Treelon Musk.
01:06
Well, those same people are back and this is our chance to join them.
01:09
Team SEAS dot org is raising 30 million dollars by the end of this year to remove 30 million
01:15
pounds of trash from the ocean.
01:17
Half of the money raised is going to the Ocean Conservancy to organize massive volunteer
01:21
beach cleanups for the beaches that need it most.
01:24
Here's where the crazy plan comes in.
01:25
It turns out that 80% of the plastic that ends up in the ocean flows there from only
01:30
1% of the world's rivers, so the other 15 million dollars is going to a non-profit organization
01:36
called The Ocean Cleanup to put killer robots in those rivers…. uh… the robots kill
01:41
trash… not… rivers…
01:43
Those robots will intercept trash 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round, before
01:48
it ever gets into the ocean.
01:50
Talk about a great investment.
01:52
Well, guess who already builds robots that have a HUGE positive impact on the planet?
01:57
That's right, the richest man on the planet, Sealon Musk.
02:00
After all, over 70% of the planet's surface is water.
02:04
Here's where I need your help.
02:05
Elon is always on Twitter, so I put out a tweet summoning Sealon Musk to rise from the
02:10
ocean's depths and donate to team seas dot org.
02:13
Find me on Twitter at Ticker Symbol YOU and retweet my pinned tweet so he sees it.
02:18
Just tap that little retweet button and tell everyone you can to do the same.
02:23
If you're going to make your own tweets, make sure to use HASHTAG TEAM SEAS and direct everyone,
02:28
including Elon, to www dot team seas dot org.
02:32
Bonus points if you also use the HASHTAG SEALON MUSK.
02:36
You can also share this short video with anyone else you think will help, including every
02:40
other Tesla, SpaceX, and Elon Musk fan you can think of.
02:44
It's for charity and your voice matters.
02:46
And of course, you can join me in funding these trash-killing robots directly by donating
02:51
to team seas dot org yourself.
02:53
This is a fundraiser video and every penny it makes will get donated to Team Seas dot
02:58
org.
02:59
If this video makes enough money, I'll upload a separate video of myself softly crying as
03:04
I make that oversized donation.
03:05
So, whether you love Elon Musk, hate trash in the ocean, or just want to see me cry – you
03:10
monster – you should donate to Team Seas dot org and help me summon Sealon Musk to do the
03:16
same.
03:17
If we work together, I really think we can make it happen.
03:19
And don't worry, after this, I'll go right back to making full-length videos about investing
03:23
in the companies making these world-changing robots, instead.
03:27
See ya!

03:30
Like, uh… like the ocean?
03:32
Heh.
