All hail the Musk! Long live the Musk!

In all seriously now... Elon Musk has built two really amazing companies. Tesla and SpaceX.

I must own a Tesla, even though I have no money.

"I was trying to figured who their audience was and decided it must be national governments that don't have much a space program yet. Indonesia? Taiwan?"

Maybe Elon Musk?

Elon Musk challenge met

People think of self-driving cars as something we'll have in the future. With systems like adaptive driver assist, they are pretty much already here. Hell some cars even steer for you. It'll take a generational shift before people are comfortable in cars they aren't driving but I suspect we'll be seeing automated vehicles in action before long, especially in commercial space. Once people realize just how much more safe they will be, it'll really catch on. Eventually the idea of a vehicular accident will be nearly unheard of.

This is a future that is already becoming a reality, and it will arrive with inexpensive electric vehicles driven by a competitive revolution started already by Elon Musk.

The part that didn't air was *related=http://videosift.com/video/Elon-Musk-Wants-to-Go-to-Mars

Elon Musk didn't found Paypal or Tesla. He's a self promoting business man who's relentless in taking credit for the innovations of others.

That being said, he's doing some exciting things with his wealth and what he did with the Tesla patents should serve as a model for all American companies.

I'm sure this will be blocked in Canada and elsewhere, so somebody will need to provide links for those.

Also, I sifted the 1st part of the full interview, so *related=http://videosift.com/video/Elon-Musk-Interview-on-Colbert-Report

And since it's a cool discussion I'll also toss in a *promote

EDIT: if someone can make the second video embed or can submit it to the sift (my que is full)...

Also, per usual with Comedy Central stuff, I'm sure it will be blocked, so we'll need links for our friends in Canada and elsewhere.
