Whether you like Musk or not and whether you think half his ideas are lunacy doesn't really matter, Musk is the kind of person we need more of.

As our world urbanises, especially in developing countries, we are going to have to think completely outside of the box to improve our mobility in a sustainable manner. Even if only one in twenty of all the new ideas come out are promising and workable, that is a great leap forward. Our world is changing at a dizzying rate and we must be prepared to toss out our preconceived paradigms and embrace new and novel alternatives.

Personally I think Musk is a bit of an arrogant little prick but I thank God we have people like him because his type of novel thinking is the kind we need if we are going to be able to meet the daunting transportation challenges ahead.
