Musk needs to get back to work. His 2017 task list:
- Get Model 3 Tesla in production by mid-summer. (Musk said he'd sleep at the plant to make that happen.)
- Launch Falcon Heavy late this year.
- Launch Dragon spacecraft in crewed configuration, unmanned.
- Catch up on Space-X launch backlog and make some money. (Some customers have canceled because of delays.)
- Finish battery factory in Nevada and make some money.
- Get Brownsville launch facility ready for 2018 launch. (March drone video: [1] Not much but dirt piles.)
- Get self-driving car technology to work. (Vehicles are currently shipping with the hardware, but no software.)
That's just this year. For 2018, he's supposed to send people to the moon.
Not a good time for the CEO to be doing a new startup.
