- jlgreco 13y agoIs he selling me rockets too? I only wish I could be in the market for one.
- luke_s 13y agoI remember hearing a quote somewhere about Elon Musk. To paraphrase: Make sure you don't have any money in your pockets when you meet him, because by the end of the meeting you will have given it to him. But seriously, I think 'being sold' has somewhat of a negative connotation - it implies that Elon is putting on an act to try and convince you buy something you otherwise might not. I think what Elon in fact does is just present a vision that he very much believes in and can make happen. I think that is why is is so effective - he is not trying to 'sell'. Hes just talking about what he believes in.
- l33tbro 13y agoDisagree. This guy seems pretty legit and humble. Calculating and shrewd? Sure, I give him that: a vision like Tesla and Space X would require such characteristics. That said, I take him on face value and love how his vision comes from such a genuine place of logic and reason (as opposed to the Jobsian hoopla bullcrap). A singular figure.
