uhh, forgive my ignorance, but who in the hell is Elon Musk?? sounds like a name out of the Star Wars universe..
His name may be strange, but Elon Musk is real.
He started PayPal, and made billions of dollars by selling it.
Since then he’s in the process of starting several major businesses:
- Tesla makes industry-disrupting electric cars, starting at luxury levels and working down to mass-market mid-priced vehicles.
- SpaceX is picking up where NASA left off, developing reusable launch vehicles for [relatively] cheap hauling of cargo & passengers to space, with long-term plans to populate Mars.
- Solar City is bringing solar electric production to homes cheap & easy (you rent, they install & own the panels).
- ...and is exploring starting HyperLoop, a super-high-speed LA-to-SF transport.
If the fictional name Tony Stark means anything to you, well, Elon Musk is a real-life Tony Stark.
