he's going to tackle Climate Change too
Happy #FourthOfJuly ya'll…. Musk says his plans include:
* Build factories "an order of magnitude" bigger than the plants that currently churn out panels
* Make #solar panels that are more efficient, and make them at a low cost in huge factories in order to reduce the overall cost of solar electricity.
* Future factories would produce 10 gigawatts worth of panels
* Oh he's going to make them nice looking too!

I imagine he's going to eventually develop all the technology everyone else isn't, to enable his red-planet retirement. 🙂

Clearly he IS a socialist +Thomas Wrobel he opened sourced all the Tesla stuff. Capitalists don't do that sort of thing!

good point. Enlightened self interest is just socialism in disguise, after all.
