He’s obviously a
visionary. I prefer dealing with him to others because he gives you genuine answers. He will call you
back. He will have a beef with you when others run away because they’re cowardly. If he disagrees, he’ll
be in your face, but at least he’s in your face. I’m perfectly fine with that. In a world where
everybody’s making a lot of silly stuff, he’s not. Cars, rockets, solar, these are important things. He
can’t be as silly or as fascist as people make him out to be. Maybe he does act like a stupid tech bro
sometimes, but maybe he’s a little more complex than that? Thomas Edison was not a nice man. Many
inventors were very difficult, problematic people — Steve Jobs, for example. The times we live in are so
reductive that it’s really hard to be able to get our minds around a truly complex human being. And
that’s what he is.
