Where's the source? It's not that I don't trust unsourced quotes from boingboing, but I don't trust unsourced quotes from boingboing.

Link should probably be changed to this: http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-email-tesla-employe...

Missing a lot of information to call this journalism. Specifically, the source for the quote, and proof that Musk even sent the email at all.

Being the devil's advocate here, was there advance notice for the pregnancy?

Yeah, he sounds like Steve Jobs 2.0.

I'm sure some people enjoy slaving away to "change the world", but in the end, you will miss some of the most important events in your life and guys like Elon Musk will continue to get richer.

Releasing permanent batteries, or fuelless motors, or Stan Meyer tech would change the world.

Using government contacts to sell cheap minerals stolen from Afghanistan and having a loud public wank about it is not really what I would call changing the world. There is hardly anything unique about that.
