That time Elon Musk and bud Obama had dinner together [w/video]
We always wondered, even imagined it was so, but now we know for sure that Elon Musk has the ear of President Obama. Now the question is: “What did he do with it?”
We’re pretty sure he didn’t nibble on it or whisper sweet nothings, of course, but what did the two talk about whilst dining on duck and other assorted fare at San Francisco’s chic Spruce restaurant? Satellites?...
Elon Musk will kick off the GPU Technology Conference on March 17th
If you haven’t yet decided what you’d like to do on the morning of March 17th, here’s a suggestion: go see Elon Musk have a chat with Nvidia founder Jen-Hsun Huang at the kick off of the GPU Technology Conference. Why? (We can’t believe you’re even asking that) Because Elon, the future, and self-driving electric cars, that why. Geez.
This is a pretty big deal of a conference....

The world is in trouble, but fear not, Elon Musk has a plan to save it.
That was the set up for the Elon Musk portion of Barbara Walter’s 10 Most Fascinating People of 2014 ABC Special on Sunday night. If you missed it, good news: we have the only part worth watching below.

Barbara Walters ’10 Most Fascinating People’ special will feature Elon Musk and Satan David Koch
We have to admit that we’ve never watched a Barbara Walters’ “10 Most Fascinating People” special before, but it’s a big enough thing to have its own Wiki. This Sunday’s show (9:00-11:00 ET) will probably be her last, as she is set to retire soon despite only being 85 years old, and we will probably put aside the time to watch it. (Unless something more interesting...
