“Had a minor operation, so am in bed in meds. Probably shouldn't be tweeting :)”
“@CosmicRami Awesome. We really need to promote that fact in the US. A CO2 tax will not cause economy to grind to a halt!”
“Would love to do a pickup truck. Something w ultra low cg for sports car handling, dynamic air suspension & mega torque.”
“Technically, I "got rich" from Zip2 & PayPal w zero govt anything, then put 100% of that into SpaceX, Tesla & SolarCity.”
“If consumption is low, then the tax is proportionately low. We should prob not have tax on basic foods & critical meds.”
“@ponder68 Carbon produced by a @SpaceX rocket flight is roughly equal to one 747 flight. No, we should not be exempt.”
“Net of gas savings, a Tesla is $550 to $600/month with down payment taken care of by tax credits. Maybe less costly then it first seems.”
“Yes, am arguing against subsidies and in favor of a tax on the end bad created. Market will then achieve best solution.”
“Trees are net consumers of CO2, so technically we would pay them money :)”
“Exactly. Seems crazy to risk the CO2 chemical experiment when we have to find another solution anyway.”
“Big difference between taxing people and taxing purchases (ie consumption). Much better to emphasize the latter.”
“@MaxMBerger The collective wisdom of the market is usually (not always) better than the smartest govt regulator.”
“Me & other private money funded Tesla for first 7 years, got IPO+ govt money for 3, now paid back. Yes, carbon tax would be a better way.”
“@grayj_ There should be a constitutional amendment to redo the tax code every ten years, just like we do a census.”
“Weight of scientific evidence. Taxes don't ban a purchase, they just increase cost. Am against bans, except in extreme cases.”
“Exactly. Better to tax known bad thing and incent desired outcome, instead of subsidizing particular solution paths. Let market decide.”
“Perhaps. I am in favor of fair, simple taxes that are neutral on most things, incent good & disincent bad.”
“Great article on Tesla-dealer battle by Leilani Munter (@CarbonFreeGirl), who lives in NC http://t.co/pvEmE5pEVN http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/leilani-munter/tesla-north-carolina_b_3327721.html?utm_hp_ref=email_share”
“@VarunG_ Belief in climate change isn't necessary. Even a small probability of a severe outcome justifies a carbon tax.”
“@karlbrauer Making rockets”
“@tonykatz Don't like having a zillion tweets in the log. Makes it tough to wade through if someone wants to read my tweet history.”
“@SapientCapital We created electric cars to help solve the problem, not because we thought it was easy money. Still isn't.”
“And, since we will run out of oil anyway, why risk the future of all life on Earth simply to delay sustainable energy?”
“Those who would deny climate change should ask themselves what happens if they are wrong http://t.co/S7fOIrly6B http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/e2-wire/301649-tesla-ceo-musk-reframe-climate-argument”
“More importantly, @Chrysler failed to pay back $1.3B. Apart those 2 points, you were totally 1st http://t.co/0P2ZLDl67a http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130522/AUTO0101/305220440/1361/Tesla--Chrysler-spar-over-loan-repayment”
“As many have already noted, @Chrysler is a division of Fiat, an Italian company. We specifically said first *US* company.”
“Interview with @BloombergNews about Tesla and DOE loan gets into some of the details http://t.co/xb0JVoPHNC http://bloom.bg/16PjlJm”
“Tesla wired the funds to repay the DOE loan today. Only US car company to have fully repaid govt http://t.co/jxHW9YkvPz http://www.teslamotors.com/about/press/releases/tesla-repays-department-energy-loan-nine-years-early”
“@Gizmoman0 Physics”
“@yes_andre I'm a big fan of ultracapacitors. Was going to do my PhD at Stanford on them. But we need a breakthrough in energy density...”
“@McBartVolgers @SpaceX High pressure helium pneumatic bolts and pistons. No explosives.”
“@xyrth Cool, will get one plus another chicken”
“@TalulahRiley You're welcome. It did seem like the chicken of destiny xx”
“Petting zoo left a chicken behind at the park. Now we have a pet chicken.”
“@DanaBrunetti Soon Model S will feature druidic dwarves dancing around a miniature stone henge”
“@DanaBrunetti Well, you see, by making it go to 11, that makes it louder than loud :)”
“Supercharger announcement pushed to next week. Something else this week.”
“@bryanclarke physics + a broad range of engineering. Worth taking humanities courses too, particularly history.”
“@vicorly Yes, usually several times more energy over the course of the year than is needed by the Model S”
“@malkosh we do”
“@itsokayyouknow Harder than that, but it is a software vs hardware change”
“Btw, vast majority of credit for SolarCity should go to Lyndon & Peter Rive & their awesome team. I'm just a small part.”
“@SeanChin @RaimisJ Over the air upgrade coming in a few months to allow tethering (and other things).”
“@annabananastand It can do hands free right now. Being able to text people via voice while driving would be a good feature to add...”
“@enggirl Mostly water or coffee at home. When I'm out, will have Macallan neat or vodka with something.”
“@danielmarshal15 It can dig up almost anything.”
“@JasonPolstein Yeah, we don't do a good job of telling people about this feature. Requires hardware unfortunately.”
“@grimmerkimmer @dpinsen Given the extreme burn, shorts are pushing every possible fear, uncertainty & doubt story http://t.co/LWr3GODxBG http://www.thestreet.com/story/11919380/1/cramer-wont-wait-for-tesla.html”
“@RaimisJ Tesla software knits together Google Voice, Slacker, Gracenote & others and streams over 3G (will be LTE later)”
