Some journalistic inaccuracies in the above story:
1) Did Tesla invent the laser? I don't think so. The Maser was not even invented until about the time he died.
Laser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On May 16, 1960, Theodore H. Maiman operated the first functioning laser,[15][16] at Hughes Research Laboratories, Malibu, California,
2) Did Musk pick the name "Tesla?" I don't know, but given Martin Eberhard's fascination with Tesla, and blogging about visiting his workshop and grave, I always assumed that Martin picked the Tesla name before Musk got involved.
I really liked Elon's strategy for hiring engineers and scientists for SpaceX. It is quite clever.

Quite a while ago Musk mentioned he "literally had to borrow money for rent" when things were grim at Tesla. With things looking much better at Tesla and him wanting to do some remodeling of the property, Musk decided (very recently) to buy a house he had been renting:

I don't think he was ever looking for sympathy when he has said that. He was demonstrating just how close to death Tesla was.

While I do agree with this statement, the Wall Street Journal said Elon started renting the Bel Air estate in 2009. The "borrow money for rent" quote came from an ABG interview (link) where Elon mentions the borrowing happened in 2008.
Based on the ABG interview, that's exactly what he meant. Tesla almost had to file bankruptcy and Elon put his remaining reserve capital on the line in an attempt to prevent that.

WOW, I had no idea of the magnitude of Nikola Tesla ("idea") VS manipulation by Edison ("monetization")

I know a lot of adults admire Elon and acknowledge his acomplishments that he has been able to acheive in a relatively short period of time, but is Elon becoming an idol to todays youth? I can see the science/engineering & environmental conscious leaning groups taking an interest and even the car loving youth group growing as more Tesla's hit the road. But will Elon become a household name to the youth of today? Is there going to be posters of Elon hanging on bedroom walls around the world? (hopefully after his hair regrowth :wink
What will it take to get to that point? Will Elon start a rock band and take over the world (and Mars)?We can all hope :smile:
