Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: Hi, I'm Jawed Karim. I have impacted all your lives and kept you entertained a lot, but you wold not know me. I'm the co-founder of YouTube.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: Hey folks, I'm Justin - Justin Beiber. I'm a Canadian singer and songwriter.My first album debuted at or near number one in several countries, was certified triple Platinum in the U.S.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: Hello, my name is Larry Page. I am an American computer scientist and Internet entrepreneur who co-founded Google along with Sergey Brin. Page is the chief executive officer of Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc.

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: Elon, I'm confused. Why would you bring God into the picture?

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: By believer, I meant that that I believe in the transformative power of technology.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: Don't we all? Tesla, YouTube, Google - they have all been founded with a view to disrupt the world with technology.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: So, what are we discussing today?

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: We are discussing the company that made you what you are today.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: I'm a self made man. There was no company, especially in the technology industy that has contributed directly to my success.

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: Ha! I don't know what to laugh more on: 'self-made' or 'man'! And as far as the contribution of the company is concerned, I see that you are one ungrateful son of a gun.

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: Justin, the world knows it, you came to the limelight only after a talent manager saw your little-known video on YouTube. Without that video streaming website, you're nothing.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: Not just Justin, YouTube has made a lot of careers all over the world. But it all started with you Elon, didn't it?

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: Oh yes, it started with Elon. Before that, we only had VCRs and some CDs and DVDs. The very idea of streaming videos over the internet was science fiction.

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: I still don't understand how did YouTube start with me? I am neither the founder, promotor or investor in this venture. Nor am I planning to acquire it :)

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: Remember PayPal? Of course you do. All of us, as co-founders made a hefty profit when eBay acquired us. We learnt a lot from you then.

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: We all learnt from each other. Most of us were Stanford alumni, so the general level of intellect was very high.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: Yeah, you're the ones to do all the geeky stuff. We on the other hand, are entertainers who only bring smiles on people's faces.

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: How is this even relevant to the conversation? Anyways, while Elon invested his 180 million profit into SpaceX and Tesla Motos, we were wondering what to do.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: Yes, y'all were the PayPal Mafia. All your founders and early employees have set up extremely successful ventures. Tesla, Yelp, LinkedIn and Yammer all have come from y'all. No doubt 4 of the PayPal mafia are billionaires already.

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: It was just a stroke of luck, coupled with our hardwork. But if I remember correctly, Jawed didn't set up YouTube directly.

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: Yes, along with Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, I set up a video dating website inspired by Hot-or-Not named 'Tune In, Hook Up'.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: What a wired name! I'm sure it didn't work out, did it? It’s a little creepy.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: Yes, it didn't work out. Had it worked out, you'd only have got a girlfriend, not a career.

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: The reason behind starting YouTube was very funny. We noticed how hard it was to find a video of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction anywhere on the internet.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: So you all ended up creating a company that uploads all such wardrobe malfunctions?

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: Yes, video of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction was a market need, and we deviced a solution. The existing video platform was changed to YouTube.

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: Well, boys will be boys!

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: But I'm pretty sure that YouTube didn't upload any such sleazy videos when it started off. What was the first video to ever be uploaded?

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: It was Jawed's video. He filmed himself during an outdoor trip and uploaded the video titled 'My visit to the Zoo'

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: Yes, and we started growing very fast. It was soon that a video crossed 1 million views for the first time. We were extremely happy.

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: It was a promotional video by Nike which featured Ronaldihno doing tricks with the football.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: That promotional campaign must have been a hit!

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: It was, mor and more brands realised that it was a great tool for marketing.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: Your early contract with NBC of CNBS fame helpe you a lot, didn't it? An additional $3.5 million dollars in venture capital was surely good.

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: That is a very small number. Because the very next year, Google acquired YouTube for 1.65 billion dollars!

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: And with the YouTube partner program, you let people make money off their videos. A lot of small-time talented individuals got big because of that.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: Yeah, including me. It gives the platform to get eyeballs for your talents, business and offerings.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: Forget individual businesses, YouTube helps you win elections! 7 out of 16 US presential candidates announced their campaigns via YouTube. The CNN debate where citizens posted video questions that candidates hads to answer was first featured on YouTube.

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: And that gave Obama the visibility and acceptability to win the 2008 election.

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: By 2010, almost everyone had a YouTube channel. Even the US Congress and even the Vatican. Everyone wanted to be there. And it helped.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: It influenced the Arab Spring too. The oppressed population of the middle east took to socail media to express their views and because of YouTube views, the movement spread like fire.

Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla) :
Elon: Wow! It is definitely bigger than TV now. Advertisers are now starting to turn from TV to youtube.

Jawed Karim (Co-Founder, YouTube) :
Founder: It is pretty big. 1 billion unique visitors per month. 400 hours of video is uploaded every second. And it will take you forever to watch all the content on the website because the rate of addition is infinite times more than the rate of content deletion.

Justin Beiber (Musician) :
JB: I'm sure with better technology, live features and diverse content, it will be the ultimate entertainment destination for users.

Larry Page (Founder, Google) :
Google: Sure, let's hope that happens!
