Tesla Motors chief executive Elon Musk was the final keynote for the TechCrunch Disrupt 2011 conference in San Francisco this week. He's a longtime entrepreneur and one of the co-founders of PayPal along with Max Levchin and Peter Thiel.

The success the three co-founders of PayPal achieved dubbed them members of the "PayPal Mafia." Thiel went on to become an investor while Max Levchin started Slide, which was bought by Google. Musk started Tesla Motors, an electric car company, and SpaceX, a space transportation company.

Tesla Motors has since gone public and SpaceX is currently slated to replace the now-ended U.S. space shuttle program. It will start with simple cargo missions, but SpaceX flights will begin carrying astronauts in around three years, Musk said.

  • Why post this? All I hear is echos... really bad sound. Elon deserves better than that.

  • I agree that education should be with audio visual material that is carefully optimized for communication efficacy.

    ideally combined with AI to formulate teaching for the specific person

  • Poor sound quality.
