[DeTomaso] NPC: Tesla Car Assembly...

[The Hougans]

EXACTLY!
I wish I could have put it that eloquently.

Sorry for my previous snarky post, it's just that vague, generalized, criticisms reek of 'sour
grapes.'

I certainly don't want to get in the middle of a dissagreement, but the point I made about tesla
probably holds true for space X too. Mr. Musk started his automobile business without any previous
auto manufacturing expierienece. He started a Space exploration business (do I have to mention he
had no previous expierience building rockets or space craft?) He has been able to succesfully
manufacture a space vehicle capale of leaving earths atmosphere, travel to the International space
station, drop off supplies and return experiments and waste to earth. All this with no human beings
onboard, at a lower cost then any comparable act accomplished by any government on earth and the
first and only such endeavor accomplished by private enterprise in HISTORY!. He has also implemented
a totally new way of bringing solar power to homeowners through his company Solar City ( which I do
own stock in). Instead of selling home owners $25,000 roof top solar panels with a totally new way
of funding this type of installation. He leases the system to the homeowners so they don't have any
out of pocket expense. It's to lengthyB to go into here but it's interesting to read about. The
point is that Elon Musk has formed 4 different highly successful companies B and in each he has
devised totally new and unique business models that have shaken up the business world and his
competitors in similar fields. He is truly a creative genius. Instead of copying other successful
businesses he has developed his own unique approach that not only has helped to serve a need of our
society but has helped to improve the environment and mankind. , You can chalk up one successful
business to luck. But four, Pay Pal, Tesla, Solar City and Space -X is not luck. Four businesses
across a wide spectrum of businesses all in a relatively short period of time is nothing short of
remarkable. 43 year old , a net worth of over $11 Billion dollars . The first and only privately
held space exploration company that launches partially reusable spacecraft that are flown
autonomously sounds like something out of science fiction! No one becomes a Billionaire with out
leaving some unhappy or jealous people in his wake. B If Mr. Musk was only interested in making
money he would be involved in businesses that had a much greater likely hood of providing a good
return with a lot more safety. He could live like a king for a thousand life times. Instead he has
invested his money in one business after another that are poised to make a major impact (and an
improvement) to the quality of life on this planet and this planets environment.
The world needs more people like him. Unfortunately people like this only come around once every few
generations. Just my humble opinion.
