There is no doubt patents are an impediment to progress. But I don't see how Musk will get rich by giving them away. He is hoping other companies will join the movement and give away their patents. Maybe even the ones Apple et al just paid billions for. Somehow it doesn't seem likely? |

Musk is doing what rich people should all do: put their money to work on important things. This video shows his latest Falcon rocket take off and land. As cows watch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DgLBIdVg3EM |
