That's the recommended price. But the Steve Jobs book is older, and when it was new, it was like $34,99.

Yes in chapter "Trouble in Paradise" It's actually divorces since he divorced both Justine Musk and Talulah Riley

Thank You. I am Swedish, so I might have made some silly errors. That's why I released it through Leanpub, so don't be afraid of complaining. Or as Musk himself said: "Don't tell me what you like, tell me what you don't like."

No I haven't. I have cleaned Internet and books on information, so it has 407 sources.

It succeed if people like it after they've read it, but those who have read it said it was "good shit"
SuperChihuahua··on Fukushima leak is 'much worse than we were led to believe'
I deleted it because I forgot the water leaking out, but here's the original comment because it might be interesting.

"If I've understood everything correctly, it can't be as bad as the Chernobyl disaster. The only reason to why the radioactive material spread so far during the Chernobyl disaster was because the reactor core consisted of graphite, the graphite caught fire, and the dangerous material rose to the sky."

@jjsz The text is the same. What happened was that I deleted the comment before I saw that someone replied to it, and then it looked stupid with a good reply to a deleted comment.

SuperChihuahua··on Tesla Model X
I'm sure the engineers have thought about that...
SuperChihuahua··on Tesla Model X
According to Musk, the range o an electric car will decrease by 10% if the temperature drops to -10 degrees Celsius
SuperChihuahua··on Tesla Model S achieves best safety rating of any car ever tested
Tesla are actually building cars because the world is running out of oil, so if you want to drive in the future, then the car has to be electric because the price of oil is too expensive.

SuperChihuahua··on Hyperloop
From the conference call: "I'm tempted to at least make a demonstration prototype, but I think I would have to punt it for a little bit of time, it wouldn't be immediate."

I don't think he is - he has to put the information somewhere since he doesn't own a personal website
SuperChihuahua··on Japan nuclear body says radioactive water at Fukushima an 'emergency'
Can solar panels survive an earthquake?
SuperChihuahua··on Japan nuclear body says radioactive water at Fukushima an 'emergency'
That Elon Musk guy argued that if we installed solar panels all over the safety zones around a nuclear reactor, then those panels would generate more energy than the power plant.

SuperChihuahua··on We Think We Know What Elon Musk's Hyperloop Is
While that article says it will take 21 minutes to travel from LA to NY, Elon explained that the Hyperloop will make you travel from LA to SF in less than 30 minutes. It's a matter of definition, but I believe the Hyperloop is slower.
