- Good morning.
Today is the day.
You don't rest and slack on the day
you're going to deliver
a couch to Elon Musk.
You just don't.
I don't usually run but
today's a running day
because you gotta get the blood flowing
to have energy, to be prepared.
That is what it takes.
So if you're willing to do
it, this is what you do.
Haven't had coffee yet.
I probably look super tired
and like (buzzer buzzing).
That's what it takes, you gotta do it.
Got my running gear,
ready to go do my best
Casey Neistat impression
but much, much slower.
Let's go.
(upbeat music)
I think I'm at a turning point.
There's no more road, more
deep canyon, that's it.
(upbeat music)
(goose honking)
Geese.
Sayin', yo, Elon's getting
the couch, go check it out.
Alright, back from the run.
Easy day, 2.5 miles, about 30 minutes,
so just a little jaunt.
Walking, didn't know where I was.
Found Coyote Trail or Coyote Creek,
saw a bunch of black cats, time to shower,
get ready to go deliver a couch.
(water splashing)
Alright, showered, ready to go.
How's my hair, you like it?
I don't know, mixed on it.
Gonna go to Philz Coffee nearby,
hangout, get some work in.
Gonna show up at Tesla around 10:30,
deliver the couch, maybe go on a tour?
We'll see.
Let's go.
(upbeat music)
Okay, every time you
come to San Francisco,
you must come get a coffee Philz.
(upbeat music)
I don't know why...
I bought a vegan doughnut.
It's a special day, right?
Wow, sugar, sugar.
Another must in California, avocado toast.
But this looks more like
guacamole toast to me.
It's not supposed to be a spread,
it's supposed to be slices.
That will balance out the sugar.
Combined with the coffee, we're
ready to go deliver a couch.
(upbeat music)
10 minutes out, couch man is on his way
and we're gonna try to
get some shots of that.
I don't even know what couch we got yet
because Wayfair is donating it.
So thank you to them, big
shout-out for helping us
because then all the
money can go to charity.
I'll talk about which charity it is
and all that in a minute but
first I want to make sure
that we get over there
in time so we don't miss
the actual delivery of the couch.
Can't believe this is really
happening, so fun to be here
and thanks for Tesla for inviting me
and making this such a fun little thing.
Let's go check it out.
(upbeat music)
Alright guys, just delivered the couch.
They're gonna go get it set up,
hopefully today, they have a lot of stuff.
Obviously they're very busy,
this kind of a distraction
but some really cool news for you.
I didn't know this until
literally just now.
So we raised almost $8,000.
Tesla Club of Sweden raised $1,500.
We've donated, or we're
donating those to charities.
Ours is going to a charity
based out of the UK
called Renewable World,
who helps fight poverty
by providing renewable energy.
So I believe the next big
project they're working on
is in Nepal, from all the
people that were devastated
from the earthquake back in 2015,
providing them for ways to
be kind of energy independent
and get back to their
lives and kind of rebuild.
So that's where the money's going.
Now Tesla, I thought originally
was gonna donate the cost of the couch.
But since Wayfair donated the couch,
Tesla is going to be
matching the entire donation,
the entire thing.
So all $8,000 or close
to 8,000 that we raised
plus the 1,500 that Tesla Club of Sweden,
we collectively are over $18,000,
money raised going to charity
from a simple little joke,
idea here to create
this GoFundMe for Elon.
Now I think Elon and everyone
really appreciates this.
It's wild, it's fun, but don't think
that we should keep doing this.
This was kind of a random one-off thing
so thank you everyone that
donated, that made this a thing.
- Here it is, the goal was $1,000,
they've raised almost $8,000.
(audience cheering)
What is wrong with you people?
Why are you, who is
sending this man money?
He's a billionaire, a billionaire with a B
which stands for boy
don't need your money.
(audience laughing)
- I didn't get a chance to meet Elon, yet,
I may later on, won't be able to video
or do anything weird like that
but I will tell you about any
further developments that we have.
As of right now, I'm just buzzing
because I got to come up here and do this.
So thank you to everyone for watching,
still have a lot more
to come and stay tuned.
It's a fun ride and it's gonna continue.
(upbeat music)
- Hi guys!
- Hi guys!
- It's Emily and Helen
here from Renewable World
and we just wanted to say a huge thank you
to everyone who supported
Ben's GoFundMe campaign
and who voted for Renewable
World to receive the donations.
- Everyone here at Renewable World
is delighted to have been chosen.
As you can imagine, we never expected
something like this to happen.
Renewable World's only
a small organization
so support like this
is absolutely amazing.
With your support, we
can continue our work
around the world and
give remote communities
the access to renewable
energy that they need
to escape the cycle of poverty.
Whether that's using solar
technology to give electricity
to homes in Kenya, power
businesses in Bangladesh
or to pump water in Nepal,
it's only with the continued
support of people like yourselves
that we're able to achieve the
fantastic things that we do.
Sustainable technology is
helping to build a better world
and now you're all part of that process.
