    A Conversation with Elon Musk

    blog

    I’ve always disliked paypal but after watching that video I have a new image of Elon Musk. The guy is pretty humble, clever and knows how to explain an idea. The opposite of a Linus Torvald.

    What’s also really amazing to me is how diversified his vocabulary is. Here are some words I learned thanks to this video:

    • belabor: argue or elaborate (a subject) in excessive detail.

    • farcical: of or resembling a farce, especially because of absurd or ridiculous aspects.
