Obviously, things were different Thursday night when Comedy Central’s audience saw him sitting on the set of the Colbert Report. The interview, broken into two videos, features a bit of Stephen Colbert rightfully marveling at Musk’s innovations before asking him to explain why he allowed other automakers access to the electric vehicle patents his company, Tesla, uses to advance the market. “You saw the future as a kid and said, ‘let’s make that happen,’” Colbert hypothesized. Musk didn’t deny it. The videos also include Colbert asking Musk what he’ll do next to “blow my mind with” and test-flight footage for a reusable SpaceX rocket that Colbert could only describe as “the most badass thing I’ve ever seen in my life.” [© earthtechling.com] ... http://ecowatch.com/2014/06/12/tesla-patents-electric-vehicles/ Tesla Releases Patents in Unprecedented Move to Advance Electric Vehicles Brandon Baker | June 12, 2014 ... http://ecowatch.com/2014/03/31/elon-musk-60-minutes-tesla/ Elon Musk Tells ‘60 Minutes’ About How Tesla Can Change the World Brandon Baker | March 31, 2014 http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/doh-teslas-elon-musk-star-episode-simpsons-n167996 D'oh! Tesla's Elon Musk to Star in Episode of 'The Simpsons' — James Eng July 29th 2014 Elon Musk already sports a pretty impressive resume as CEO of electric-car company Tesla and of private spacecraft maker SpaceX. Now the 43-year-old billionaire entrepreneur is about to top it off with a feature appearance in everyone’s favorite animated TV show, "The Simpsons.” Musk, not exactly a novice to the big screen, will play himself (or at least his voice will) in an upcoming episode in which he somehow leaves centenarian nuclear plant owner Mr. Burns bankrupt. "Simpsons" Executive Producer Al Jean made the announcement over the weekend at the Comic-Con International convention in San Diego, Entertainment Weekly reports. "Burns tries to kill him, and we reveal Musk's master password," Jean tweeted on Monday. Musk’s episode, which airs Jan. 11, will be titled “The Musk Who Fell To Earth,” according to jalopnik.com.
