Elon Musk has perhaps the most exciting portfolio of businesses on the planet.
There's SpaceX with its mission to Mars, and Tesla with its super-fast hi-tech electric cars.
He claims his Hyperloop concept could revolutionise public transport. And even his Boring Company is kind of interesting - it aims to find new ways to dig tunnels.
So which one will end up changing the world most? It is my contention that it will be his battery business.
Doesn't sound that scintillating does it?

(2,186 posts)I love what he is doing and thank God for the smart people of the world. Breaking the fossil fuel dependence would be a real game-changer on so many levels---no longer funding hostile countries, their Republican allies, environment (I love the pictures of the clean air around cities due to people staying at home), and enabling a less centralized power grid (less vulnerable to Russian & Chinese tinkering/attacks).
I've had solar panels on my house for about 10 years---by far one of the best purchases I have made. I just wish I had a garage---then I'd consider an EV. I will someday.

You gotta believe me----there are some intelligent people in Tulsa!
