A candid interview with Tesla CEO Elon Musk

It's 'unlikely' Tesla will have to raise additional money before the 2012 release of the Model SElon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, was born in South Africa. At 12 years old, he sold his first commercial software he programmed. He went on to make his fortune during the Internet boom years, making just under $200,000 million with PayPal and over $20 million with Zip2. Now, at 39-year-olds, Elon is building rockets and electric cars as the CEO and co-founder of both Tesla Motors and SpaceX. His dream is to making in living in Mars -- a reality, an quite possibly an affordable during his lifetime. Here's my interview with Elon, one of today's most celebrated entrepreneurs. Among the topics we discussed - whether Tesla - which raised $260 million from its June IPO, $465 ... [vator.tv/n/110f read more]

    I wonder how many people realize that Elon Musk is going to be bigger and more successful AND have a bigger impact on the world than Steve Jobs in 10 years. It's funny how many don't know who he is right now. I feel lucky and prescient to be "in the know" about this man.

    At least this is an entrepreneur that seems to be more concern about changing the world for the better. Some ceos are just in it for the money without thinking about the consequences on the environment and others. Oil companies are the worse, sucking up your money and making your environment more polluted at the same time

    In regards to the fund raising question for start-up companies and entrepreneurs you really have to adopt a "this is going to be built regardless of your money" attitude. You have to create the notion that if people don't invest they will miss out. It's that simple. It's sorta like the "burn the ships in the new world" strategy.

    @anarchosolar I don't think her point was comparing the electric to hybrid directly, but pointing out the market for alternative powertrains (hybrids and electric). Hybrids are still considerable options for those thinking of buying pure electric cars and vice versa, so she was placing this car in that category. He then corrects her by comparing this car with the Audis and BMWs, which would justify the cost, I mean...just LOOK at the Model S!
