It would be interesting if his acceptance speech spoke to the battles between Tesla and Edison.

Anyone know if Elon can rap?

It even has its own thread right here in Investors discussion, about 3-4 topics below the stickies: Elon to receive the Edison award

Eek. You're known by the company you keep, and past winners of Edison Achievement not only include Martha Stewart but TWO separate Amway charming fellows. As far as I'm concerned, the only worthy reason for Mr Musk to join this group is because of the ironic connection with Edison.

Edison, being the DC guy, is as germane to Tesla Motors cars as Tesla, the AC guy. The Tesla car has DC batteries and DC SuperChargers while using AC for drive power and low-level charging. Kinda 50/50 but Nikolai was long overdue for the fame & prestige.

Steve Jobs might add some worthy points

That is the best video! Complete and accurate biographies of two great men in two minutes. Wow.

I don't even like rap, but that is pure genius.
