Apparently Elon's happy to take BTC:

I'm semi-not surprised. Of all the people to accept BTC, it'd be him. Can you imagine the US gov paying SpaceX in BTC for their contracts? XD

Its not like he has his riches sitting in a bank anyway. He's the richest man mostly due to his shares. When Tesla's shares went up, the measurement of his wealth went up.

In fairness, I see Tesla's quite frequently. They must be making some decent sales. But you have to remember, Tesla isn't his only company. SpaceX being another major success at the moment. Solar city... Paypal... He's not got his wealth only in Tesla

Too rich? In fairness, he invests a massive majority of his wealth into businesses designed to support humanity. Of all the people to be the richest, I definitely prefer Elon Musk xD

Now the whole world is discussing Elon Musk, I wonder if any of you want to own a Tesla?

In all honesty, some of their cars are not bad looking, but I don't think electric cars are the way of the future. If someone's reason for owning one is "it's good for the environment" then I think they need to look again. The batteries in those cars are terrible for the environment, and are far more complicated to dispose of. These cars require electricity.. Which, unless it's generated with renewable energy, it is still harming the environment by running on electricity. Even if it is running on renewably generated electricity, it's not necessarily good for the environment then, as some renewable sources actually cause harm while being developed/manufactured, or impact the local environment where they're built.

All that aside, I think electric cars are about more than just the eco-side. There's real potential to change the driving experience (and I'm not talking about self-driving cars). Some of the fastest supercars in the world are currently electric, and they look like hell of a lot of fun.

tl;dr - Electric cars aren't as good for the environment as people think they are. However, that's not the only use for electric car tech - It could make cars more fun.
