Elon Musk, started his career by inventing an online bank that became Paypal. Then he brought the electric car back to life and called it the Tesla. That led to finding ways to power the electric car more efficiently, which begat the Tesla Wall and Solarcity -- as well as cars that can drive themselves.
Along the way he puttered around with getting space exploration back on track, which became SpaceX, which will get us to Mars within a couple of years.
He's also building the largest battery factory on the planet, roof shingles that will generate electricity and the Hyperloop, a method of transporting people around the country (and eventually the world) in a fraction of the time they can make the same journey by air.
None of this is science fiction. It's all happening right now, to be fully realized in our lifetimes.
If, like me, you're having trouble keeping up with this guy -- because I haven't even gotten into robotics and connecting human intelligence to machines and tunnels and some of the other stuff, what follows may help.
Elon Musk was in Vancouver last week. This is what he had to say.
Enjoy Your Sunday...
