When Zuckerberg and Ashton Kutcher invest in things, it doesn't really grab my attention. But when Musk does, it really does sound promising.

The company's tech sounds really awesome, being able to perceive texture from photos and interpret objects from it would be so useful in so many real world applications.

I think Elon Musk also invested in Stripe, which I found was interesting.

In an interview he emphasized that he was a tiny initial investor / had no idea what they were doing (I'm guessing Peter Thiel convinced him to since Stripe was trying to help make their initial vision for Paypal a reality)

If true he's probably guiding them how he was going to guide PayPal before they sold.

Agreed on watching what Musk does. He seems to have a knack for brazenly pushing the technological envelope.
