[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3368791, member: 5800"] Saving the world doesn't have to be done as a poor person. It's perfectly possible to make money presenting a better, greener option than we have now ---- in the old days that'd be called progress. Musk has a goal, and a plan. I can't confirm it, but here's my take on him. 1. Start Tesla --- get people excited about it, brand recognition, tap into the green market to build a base. 2. Get Tesla established and then split off other brands such as Space-X. Use amazing accounting techniques to fund all the projects at their inception. Get them established and on solid footing. 3. At this point it's fair to point out I think his real goal is Mars. But that's expensive. 4. With Tesla and Space-X and related companies going well, the key of the long term plan gets in gear --- StarLink. This doesn't get as much exposure in the world, so a refresher that it's designed as a global coverage satellite broadband internet delivery system. One of the main challenges in setting that up is money, so if you have companies feeding it, and then have a space launch system to where you can deploy your own satellites on the cheap (while ferrying astronauts and supplies for profit no less) then it becomes much cheaper to win the internet space race. 5. Now that you can get your internet system in the stars and operational, you can literally offer worldwide internet coverage for billions of people. Imagine the revenue from this. Lets say half the world (3.5B) subscribed at $20/month. That's what, $840 billion a year gross? At that rate you could give away connection devices, fund the whole thing and have crap tons of revenue left over to accomplish the primary goal (Mars) all while making the current Earth greener and decreasing pollution from existing cars and trucks. Just my thoughts on how I see his system working. [/QUOTE]
