It was worth watching. Musk made a fantastic analogy as to why they released all the patents.

He says that if we were all on a ship together (Earth?) that had holes in it, and everyone is using buckets to get the water out, wouldn't you want to share the bucket that you are using that is much better than the rest?

He also let's us know that you'll be able to NAME your Tesla in the next update. Stephen Colbert coaxed him into telling us this after he says that he views his car as a friend because it "greets" him by releasing the door handles.

did you like it?

I thought it was a pretty good interview/talk. Elon seemed a little off though, he didn't know how to answer some of the questions.

I liked it. The man has a lot on his mind so he can be a little off.

Same here! I'm certainly no entrepreneur but I've had some ideas that have potential.

Yup, it was brilliant. Elon Musk I think will really change things up quite a bit with his ideas, I hope his endeavors continue to be successful because I think we can benefit from his creations. If you go onto the Colbert Report website, there's an online exclusive of Colbert and Musk talking about living on Mars, it's pretty interesting.

Yes I'm a big supporter of Elon Musk and I hope he continues to innovate and change the world.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go look at that!
