Elon Musk might be the best CEO ever...

Looks like there might be a Nikola Tesla museum in the works... about dang time, too!

A while back, The Oatmeal ran a piece about Nikola Tesla.
Recently, they ran a piece about Tesla Motors and their magical space-car. a darn good read.

Be sure to read page 2...

What it's like to own a Tesla Model S - A cartoonist's review of his magical space car - The Oatmeal

Elon Musk has responded...

Guess we'll see. I'm sort of surprised that Tesla Motors hadn't done it already.

I read that Oatmeal post last night. Pretty ballsy asking for a cool $8M for a museum, but it will all be PR for Tesla anyway.

The Oatmeal rocks - one of my very favorites (along with CGB Grey on YouTube).

Very cool for Elon must to pony up, (a bit surprised he did not already...) correction: a bit surprised it was only for $2,500 before.

Elon Musk is forging history every day he goes to work.

He's a truly incredible individual.

I would very much like to work at his company. Just something prestigous about helping mankind get to Mars.
