Elon Musk: The Future We're Building

Elon Musk TED conversation (credit:TED)

Elon Musk has grand designs for building, boring, and imagining the future. He explains some of his ideas to the curator of the TED conferences.

The mega-entrepreneur presents a project concept he is pursuing for boring transportation tunnels under Los Angeles; what he plans for his electric car company Tesla and SpaceX; his Solar City renewable energy schemes; and his motivation for building a future on Mars. Zipping underground from Westwood to LAX in 6 minutes? solar power for everyone? They are all ideas on his drawing board.

Musk is known for the enthusiasm he has for "big ideas" from renewable energy to making LA more sustainable and he should not be ignored. Musk also uses humor in his TED conversation to keep himself from going too 'off the wall'. He has recently turned his sights towards some political objectives which may or may not be realized. Time will tell how all of these goals turn out. WHB
