Elon Musk and Tesla are the topics at hand on this week’s show. First-time guest, Nick, who goes by @ArtisanLoaf on Twitter, is here to help us trudge through some of the cold hard realities behind the many bold predictions and promises doled out by everyone’s favorite billionaire. Are we going to space anytime soon? Will we have affordable, S3XY, and tax-deductible vehicles to drive? Should we crowdfund America’s newest automaker? These questions and much more explored in this fun and informative interview.
