I mention this because I am not convinced Elan Musk is a wizbang scientist, more of an Edison type yet without them the ideas never come to completion.
Nikola Tesla (the original real guy) was bordering on insanity and came up with as many crack-pot ridiculous science fiction ideas as he did practical ideas. Maybe more.

We could list some of his ideas and experiments and they'd have you shaking your heads in disbelief.

Much as the current tesla should be.
