Who ever thought PayPal would turn to gold?

SpaceX, go figure.

Tesla?

He didn't know these things wouldn't work, but they did.

And he's got the money to risk.

Bill Gates is a hoarder. Musk is a doer.

Military intelligence is to intelligence as military music is to music. The same for industrial intelligence.

I forgot who said that first: Georges Clemenceau. (I suspect Groucho Marx also copied it.)

If the new factory is really so limited that it can ONLY produce the cylindrical cells, then the project seems to lack vision.

I suspect that the facility will be more flexible and the final battery package can be modified with reasonable retooling cost.
