Hell, we must live on different planets. I think the guy is stupid, self-serving, and manipulative. I don't think he has an ethic in his body. And he certainly doesn't influence me. Then, again, i don't read anything he says. I think he's wrong about electric cars solving the energy and pollution problem. I think he is delusional if he thinks Mars will replace earth. And, of course, he's bi-polar, which should tell people to be very wary when he's in hype mode.
