Interesting Interview with Elon Musk

I also think he is spot on about the deficit. You can't take in $4 Trillion and spend $7 Trillion ($3 Trillion deficit) year after year and NOT expect something to give. It is insane. Probably enough capital in this country to keep things going for my lifetime; maybe even my kids' (all over 40 now), but my grandchildren are screwed. If we don't reign in the spending, this country can, and most likely will, collapse. Politicians on BOTH sides of the isle are guilty. I hate being a doomsdayer. It burns me up that the wealthiest country on earth is hell bent on bankrupting itself.

I am a big Elon fan, as the electric car business is also my bread and butter. I had a few opportunities to chat with him before Tesla became the behemoth it is. Very interesting and sharp dude to say the least.

My dad had this same observation regarding GM.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective) he did not live long enough to see the company that provided our livelihood for two generations go under.
