    Is there an Elon Musk thread on QBN? Can't find one. I found the Tesla and Space X ones... but not a dedicated one to Elon Musk himself. Should I start one? He deserves his own thread. The guys is one of the most important humans of our lifetime.

    • please no. he's a very successful crony.
      ********
    • If we can have a Health, Dentist & Floss thread I say why not?
      ********
    • @deathboy please explainKrassy
    • in short it's because he has focused on sectors that largely operate off public subsidies. But orazal is right why not. There are dick cheney ones too.
      ********
    • He's focusing on projects that affect the general public. Are the public subsidies a driving force behind his projects, or is it the other way around?Krassy
    • Are you questioning his motives? Regardless of his contributions? Not sure I follow.Krassy
    • i would give him credit if he actually produced a cost effective, better alt to something. but so far its just exp subs products for rich ppl to feel good about
      ********
    • motives and products
      ********
    • I think its money first. Think he understand that we have been taught that anything green = good regardless of end results. And he's using that successfully.
      ********
    • And the government has created a nice 40 billion dollar market for solar alone. Why not take a piece and say u have good intentions of bettering the world
      ********
    • why i prefer to focus on end results and not good intentions
      ********
    • Interesting perspective. Thanks for elaborating.Krassy
    • Lol at important person. How is he important, he is a playboy making toys for other playboys. Who's life has he impacted positively
      ********
    • It's "whose" not "who's"

      I'm sure Elon Musk knows the difference, although that's not the part that makes him important.      Krassy
    • Yes yes, autocorrect got me, aren't you smart. Would you flex your intellect some more for me and answer the question
      ********
    • NP Krassy. thanks for being civil. im from reno so a lot of the gov policies directly effect me. some interesting stuff going on with solar subs and nvenergy
      ********
    • @deathboy I love hearing an honest and educated opinion, especially coming from someone who's directly affected by policy making. Thank YOU!Krassy
    • As a matter of fact, the reason why I was looking to post about Elon Musk is what's happening...Krassy
    • ...in Sparks, Nevada - right next door to Reno: http://www.techinsid…Krassy
    • ah nice. yea there is a lot more of local economic factors that usually get disregarded in the aspirational largeness of the project.
      ********
    • like the national news usually doesn't mention that the project hasn't met any econ projections. and scope already changing a little bit to use it for data
      ********
    • or how the jobs it created go to out of state workers in hotels. or how the "tesla effect" has help increase rent prices. and even talks of adding a state tax.
      ********
    • personally i think sandoval is monument building for his own prestige. The future is goign to suck with these obligations. We cant pay goldman back on the bonds
      ********
    • for lowering the rails underground. it is all well intended but i think tis gonna backfire
      ********
    • @deathboy Interesting. Thanks again for the insight from that locals perspective!Krassy
    • Yup, good stuff, I learned something new
