IMHO, one of the most fortuitous business mistakes ever made was trying to rip off Musk when he was in Russia trying to buy a few old ICBMs. On the flight back home, so the story goes, he sketched out his first design for a recoverable rocket booster and decided that it could be done. Maybe we should send those Russians a Thank You card for lighting a fire under this guy.

In my mind Musk is one of those people who has to be watched for what he does not what he says. Anybody who hangs on his every word is hooked up to a bit of a Crazy Maker.This is the man who aspires to save our planet and get us a new one to inhabit: clown, genius, edgelord, visionary, industrialist, showman, cad; a madcap hybrid of Thomas Edison, P.T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie and Watchmen’s Doctor Manhattan, the brooding, blue-skinned man-god who invents electric cars and moves to Mars. His startup rocket company, SpaceX, has leapfrogged Boeing and others to own America’s spacefaring future. His car company, Tesla, controls two-thirds of the multibillion-dollar electric-vehicle market it pioneered and is valued at a cool $1 trillion.
