My thoughts on Musk and like-kind are that how the movie Elevation ends is how they will end up controlling the world. They won’t be able to get to Mars so instead they will eliminate humanity from the face of the earth, but for their selected few. The Robots will be their servants. They will breed like rabbits with different women as some do now.
Elon Musk is widely believed to be the founder of Tesla, which was in fact founded by two engineers, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, in 2003. Eberhard is said to have asked his then-girlfriend, now wife, what she thought of the name Tesla for his new company as they sat in the Blue Bayou restaurant in Disneyland. She approved and Tesla it became.
More importantly, Everhard decided that Tesla’s electric motor was so zippy that the company should start off with a luxury sports car and then produce more moderately priced models once they were selling enough cars to reduce the cost. That was contrary to the usual auto industry strategy. Toyota, for instance, established itself down market before creating the luxury Lexus line.
Musk had been a co-founder of Paypal and he signed on with Tesla as an investor, not an engineer. He liked the whole concept as much as if it had been his own. He joined the electric vehicle company’s board eventually elbowed his way to become chairman.
According to a knowledgeable source, Musk would express his displeasure if anything was written about Tesla that did not prominently mention his name. Everhard was pushed out and Musk became the only name associated with Tesla as it became a bigger-than-big success.
