His next act was as co-founder of PayPal, which was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock in 2002. Musk then turned his energy toward two notable new ventures: SpaceX, developer and manufacturer of space launch vehicles, and Tesla Motors, developer of high-end electric automobiles both of which were started in a downturn. What makes this visionary entrepreneur tick? Come and find out as he speaks with Michael Malone about innovation for the futures sake, business strategies to get there, how to make order out of chaos along the way, and more.

THERE IS A HIGHER DENSITY...the PANASONIC NiMH that is prohibited by the CHEVRON OIL PATENT. If the Panasonic battery is outdated and useless then why does the CHEVRON OIL PATENT so ruthlessly deny it to the world ?!

The Bloom Bax will work in a Tesla. I think a 'small' Bloom box will work N a all electric car!! The car would get 4 times the mileage then the batteries currently used. If they can get the Bloom Box down 2 lets say $5-800.00 4a car,, it would help the us all. As well as lower the price of The Tesla. I also feel The Bloom Box can work in harmony with your solar technology. Super Cool Stuff!! I know you can make it happen Elon,, So check it out!! Citizen Angel l l : l l

It doesn't take a genius to be a bankruptcy fraud expert, or an internet philanthropist, just training in criminality by criminals, the draft dodger, trained in toronto is smart like a sack of rocks---people who believe his P R Crap are idiots

[Maplesyrup41]

@psyclistic Na, dann verstehen wir uns ja! my point is that the prefix Uber is of common usage in the English language since long before A.H. used it in a very specific and particular context. You can go to an Uber-party, or carry an Uber-penis, or hear an Uber-song without there being even the slightest association to anything German/Nazi related.

Gleichschaltung, however, IS a 'Nazi' term, and yet also of completely common usage in political theory the world over.

@mrplease66 Ich verstehe Deutsch. Ich verstehe auch, daß Hitler "übermensch" oft gesagt hat. I'm just saying the connotations are bad.

elon musk is a bankruptcy expert, a hostile take over expert with a little cash he got for chuming up with the guys who developed zip 2, or paypal, he is barry soretoe alias barack hussain muhammed obamas, pet chicken, and has a longevity factor about as long as barry, which is coming to an end soon. The sooner the better, as all the people he trashes away along the way, as he steals their ideas and companies, will be pleased to see his eventual termination.

@psyclistic ubermensch means superman. Should he be given a more pc name now that he's turned out to be jew-hating alien?
