The closest thing we have to a successor, or analog, to Steve Jobs – is Elon Musk.
The cofounder of PayPal, founder of Tesla motors, pioneer in the electric car world, and budding space travel magnate – in mutual admiration confab with Bob Lutz – General Motors climate – denying tech honcho – ( they come down on different sides of the climate issue – but both bullish on electric cars) – interviewed by Charlie Rose.
Below – trailer for Revenge of the Electric Car.
I watched the original in interview on Charlie Rose (PBS) last Thursday and it was fantastic. Musk seemed to be able to defend his positions and I was impressed. BTW, Lutz does not believe in AGW. You can watch the full versions (“Lutz alone” and “Lutz with Musk”) here: http://www.charlierose.com/
