The patent was first invented in 1421 it appears. Whether it was 
even a good invention is yet to be seen. I think software patents 
are bad for software in general.

I think Elon Musk isn't really an engineer. I think he's just a 
really good PR person. Most people don't know that Elon wasn't 
really involved with Tesla, he just bought out the actual person 
that started Tesla. You don't become a billionaire without 
exploiting people. The people he's severely underpaying for their 
work and over working them. He pays people less than their worth 
and takes credit for all of their successes.
