Clearly the Editor at Notable Biographies has an axe to grind with the TM CEO as well, as the pic they chose is, ahem, less than flattering ...
Lisa.
PS Sadly, if you took 100 pictures of me, I would bear an uncanny resemblance to a chicken is 99 of them
However, in that 1 non-chicken image, I am a sight to behold :biggrin:

R254->R725->S->X->M3->M3P-->R2020?
I agree about the 100 photos theory of James', but if this photo of Elon is authentic, do you think he's been taking Rogaine, Propecia or getting plugs? :frown:

Elon's other job
New York Times: Adding Rocket Man to His Résumé
also of interest:
Say, out of curiosity, not that I am against space travel, but how many Tesla cars does it take to offset the fuel burned from one SpaceX Falcon 9 launch?

Hmm perhaps I should have posted this in the SpaceX thread, but I couldn't figure out how to delete this thread. sorry

their latest post mentioning of Tesla just says "What, Tony Stark won't lend you cash until payday, Elon?" and links to a venture beat article http://venturebeat.com/2010/05/27/elon-musk-personal-finances/ why does jalopnik and so many people seem like they just want Tesla to fail?

That's par for the course for jalopnik, which has a gas bias and takes it's cues from ValleyWag, formerly run by Owen Thomas.
Is it me or does Elon look like a bad guy from James Bond? I just saw that picture and it hit me

I don't know that Elon resembles in appearance any particular Bond villain, but the comparison in other aspects has often been made. It's a comparison Elon seems to enjoy, actually. Billionaire launching rockets from a private island like something out of Moonraker or You Only Live Twice (btw, best John Barry soundtrack in a Bond film IMO).
Who knows what nefarious purposes there might be...
Also, in the most recent Bond film, Quantum of Solace, the primary villain was supposedly an environmentalist. That one was a bit of a mess, and I don't remember much of it except that a lot of hydrogen fuel exploded near the end.
You could imagine Elon in about 20 years after he finishes losing his hair.
If he maintains that nerdy white skin and goes bald, plus adds about 30 pounds, then we have the classic Bond villian from the early films. He only needs a furry white cat to stroke as he walks around.
Elon looks extremely uncomfortable with a tie.
Elon is actually a good looking guy in most pictures. But if the goal is to make someone look bad, there are always snapshots that make anyone look bad.

My local paper ran this on Musk today, although I believe they pulled it from, and gave credit to, the New York Times:
Real-life Tony Stark paper rich, cash poor
