Making spaceships and electric supercars isn’t enough for Elon Musk. Meghan Daum meets the entrepreneur who wants to save the world.
The name sounds like a men’s cologne. Or a type of ox. It sounds possibly made up. But then, so much about Elon Musk seems the creation of a fiction writer—and not necessarily one committed to realism. At 44, Musk is both superstar entrepreneur and mad scientist. Sixteen years after cofounding a company called X.com that would, following a merger, go on to become PayPal, he’s launched the electric carmaker Tesla Motors and the aerospace manufacturer SpaceX, which are among the most closely watched—some would say obsessed-over—companies in the world. He has been compared to the Christian Grey character in Fifty Shades of Grey, though not as often as he’s been called “the real Tony Stark,” referring to the playboy tech entrepreneur whose alter ego, Iron Man, rescues the universe from various manifestations of evil.
No worries, Elon.. King 0bamba is doing a fine job of causing mass immigrations into Europe and the United States.
First he better figure out why his last space shot blew up.
Glad he’s having fun spending my money.
Musk’s antics while being billions in debt to the American people are getting juuuuuuust a little bit old.

How much will this latest Elon Musk pipe dream cost taxpayers?
I want to change places w/ Musk. Live in his house and his lifestyle.
Does that count?
All done on the tax payers back!
I don’t know, when I think about colonizing another planet I think of the guy who’ll be the janitor. The good news for the chosen peons, you get to experience space travel. The bad news, you’ll still be scrubbing the rich guys toilet. Welcome to Mars.
