What is it like to be in a meeting with Elon Musk?
MEETING ELON MUSK, A PRETTY APPROACHABLE BILLIONAIRE!riceuguy | 8 MARS 2013Very cool...got to meet Elon at the Austin store grand opening and got a picture with him and even got a brief conversation in. He was super accommodating and very friendly after what has had to be an incredibly long week (Europe, SpaceX, etc.). The store folks were also super nice and helped run down some additional detail on my delivery date (they think more like end of April, which is baffling to me) and even let my 10 year old pose for a picture in the Roadster (their idea!). The two Tesla chargers in the mall garage (The Domain in Austin) will be opened up for 24 hour access after grand opening weekend is complete!Overall, a lot of fun, and I'm now the proud owner of a Tesla hat (paid, not free). Plus the guy looking at the car had questions about price, etc. which in Texas the store employees couldn't legally answer, so I was able to have them cover the airs while I answered his questions! :-)defmonk | 10 MARS 2013I ran into Mr. Musk at a film premiere in LA, right in the midst of the Broder-NYT mess. I'm generally not in the habit of introducing myself to folks I don't know. However, I couldn't miss the chance to introduce myself to him by reservation number. He chuckled when I extended my hand saying, "Hi, I'm number 17, 9XX!" The neat thing was his unbridled excitement about the car, late in the evening, after sitting through a movie and standing around for hours at an event, at the end of what must have been a hellish day. In the midst of a sea of huge egos, here was a personable, approachable guy with genuine enthusiasm for his product. At a human level, it is now even easier to join his vision for Tesla and electric vehicles.
