The fact that he is an entrepreneur gives me hope. Why? Because I'm no scientist, but I'm pretty good at leading teams and product development. Who knows, maybe someday I'll build a space elevator. By the way, if you had an idea for a "mach 2 tunnel under Bakersfield", I'd at least read it. You're a hell of a writer.Elon Musk isn't an inventor, he's an entrepreneur.
Perhaps why I have such an affection for the guy. There are so many other sure fire ways for him to take his piles of money and turn them in to larger piles of money. Ways that would be quicker, far less risky, have a much greater yield and even be more altruistic. If he's a crazed moron, then please let there be more of them. I get your point, which is that he gets a free pass on crazy, but that doesn't bother me one bit. -That has been earned through past successes.
