Elon Musk: Production Hell or Party Balloons? Pick One.

Is Elon Musk – the recipient of over five billion government dollars – really the focused workhorse he proclaims to be, or is he nothing more than a taxpayer-subsidized, scatterbrained mess hopelessly trying to make his science fiction dreams into reality? 

We spend billions of tax dollars on dumber stuff, after all.

And -- is he making a cyborg dragon?  Maybe. The thing is: I like him.  I like big dreams and hyperbole.  Cannot hold it all against him but instead think he's wonderful for pointing us in the direction of thinking about these possibilities.  Somewhere there is a kid who says to himself, "I can make this really happen".  And it will be so.
