From my Electrek post earlier:
Upon a good night of sleep and quiet reflection I strongly feel that this SEC action will give Elon an even greater stage to show us the even greater things that he has in mind.
I recall the sense of pride that I felt seeing the Falcon Heavy launch into space, and the feeling that we are much greater when we can aspire to attain great things for our children and our grandchildren.
I recall trips all around the West Coast region with my family in one of our two Model X vehicles and feeling that I can make a difference in helping to bring clean renewable energy into existence, for the sake of my own needs, and for the needs of millions/billions worldwide.
I recall the vast hours I have spent researching and thinking about how my new found belief in renewable energy over the past year and how it has lead me to the realization that “there is no longer a need for Oil Wars” and our energy source can be sitting on our own roofs, or just down the street in community solar, or wind farms.
I recall the CRAZY, CRAZY dreams that maybe I could consider a buying a plot of land on mars from my government and/or Space X, of course very cheaply, and I could even go as far as contacting Space X to see if my family’s Chinook Helicopters (Columbia Helicopters) could be re-geared, and re-bladed to function in the Martian atmosphere powered by ground based batteries on tethered, helicopter pulled, wheel bases.
I recall the crazy dreams of using Elon’s Boring machine to bore vertically to create a long vertical shaft that could one day, perhaps, be used as a long “gas trapping cylinder” that would help propel massive rockets into space from the bottom of a “mile deep column”
I recall, and see, that in a couple of days a new and incredible upgrade is coming that will allow me to ask my car to “Navigate to “wherever USA”” and the car will drive by itself, being monitored, on all major freeways.
I recall the endless stories I have told my friends and family members, sometimes without end, how my personal doomsday clock has gotten ”PUSHED BACK A COUPLE OF HOURS” in hopes of stemming effects of the TRUE and MEASURABLE melting sea ice and its ramifications for Billion of people.
The dreams that have been realized Elon, and all those that have helped him to achieve, is much more than a day trade. The long term Mission that Tesla has put in place has already ignited the changeover to renewable and sustainable energy for our WORLDWIDE economy. The legacy car makers are building battery factories. The oil/energy companies are “honestly” trying to, find and create, long term sharholder wealth in sustainable energy creation and storage. Long distance High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) lines are being planned to link renewable energy sources and storage. New electric car companies are being created, seemingly monthly, and are bringing new hope and vitality.
Sure, I may be one of many “SuperFans” but I feel quite good about my position. Some follow sports, some follow stocks, some follow religion....I follow all these things, but I most choose to follow what gives me TANGIBLE HOPE for my children and their descendants.
My sincere thanks to ALL that bring truth, integrity, hope and basic human goodness to my world.
