Musk’s Teslas will be the future, so I commend him for beginning the project....solar powered with vastly improved batteries (lithium iirc)

That’s years away. I hope his space launch contracts provide him with sufficient capital

Musk is South African but came to the US because he saw entrepreneurs succeed here when he was a kid. He invented and sold PayPal to finance Tesla and SpaceX. I wish him well ...he could be the next Ford or Getty, Gates, or Jobs.

agree.

Musk’s electric cars combined with natural gas powered trucks and buses combined with rising oil/gas production constitute a strategic plan—on par with Reagan’s deal with the Saudis in the early 80’s to raise oil production so as to kill the price of oil and kill Russian export revenue—so the soviet empire would become insolvent.

Electric vehicles will never be more than a fringe technology until we find a replacement for batteries.
