	Elon Musk talks about improving tunneling technology, electric semi-trucks, aesthetically pleasing solar roofs, new gigafactories, autonomous driving, reusable rockets, and his plans for a massive SpaceX rocket with 4x the thrust of the Saturn V. https://www.ted.com/talks/elon_musk_the_future_we_re_building_and_boring *Sometimes the video doesn't start when you click it and you may have to refresh your browser a few times to get it to work.

	http://www.space.com/33691-space-launch-system-most-powerful-rocket.html Yeah OK, the SLS engines already have more than 1,000,000 burn seconds experience to rely on. What does Musk have? __________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just build a better one.

	Yes, I see the sense in a lot of what Mr. Musk wants to accomplish, but this mind-numbing neural lace implanted through an injection into the veins? How far can that be from pure mind control, sheeple instead of people? The pure ego-maniac (not saying who that might or could be) would want to upload his mind into every mind, and make all subservient to him/her/it, and that would be the end of man's soul on earth. No thanks, even if it means improving me, I would rather not be his "mini-me". __________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just build a better one.

	'and make all subservient to him/her/it,' And this has not happened already with the USA spying on people and the super rich manipulating countries via the monetary systems through banks? Musk is just using his idea of technology to control you rather than using a cell phone or laptop. He got smart, he uses your vehicle, which I see by the way, one never owns due the the IP built in to it. My, my, farmers don't even own there tractors anymore. He is doing nothing different to all the other greed mongers and egotistical maniacs. They already have your life and mind controlled.

	He needs to figure out how to turn a profit, all I see is him digging a bigger and bigger debt crater. So American of him to do so, but he of all people should know better. I think most of his stuff is cool, and I find no issues with you being on his side. It is good to choose sides, and stand behind whom you stand behind. Just be sure they are not farting in the upwind breeze while you stand behind them. __________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just build a better one.
