Elon Musk Opened up all his Patents 😱

[treeamigo]

When you're so confident in your ideas and the direction you're headed, that you allow competitors to follow your identical steps legally, you're a boss.

This is what confidence in your genius looks like. He’s not afraid somebody else is going to use his ideas because he delivers quality and upgrades consistently

The world could certainly use more people that are focused on the greater good for everybody, instead of just out for themselves.

He's such an amazing individual. I love a lot of his philosophies.

This is a true "Renaissance Man" OBVIOUSLY, trying to improve the entire world. I love this guy!

That and opening up the patents was the best way to get other manufacturers invested in charging station infrastructure.

If iron man ever suddenly appeared and then elon musk pulls a Tony stark with the "im ironman", the whole world is simply gonna be like "meh, we knew, so tell us when the suit will go to market"

Imagine if big pharma thought like this

This guy is the one billionaire that I like. He really seems too smart for most interviewers and working towards the good of humanity rather than the perception of the good of humanity. Good man with good ideas.

Worldwide success
Great sense of humour
One in a billion

When Musk goes in (to ANYTHING), he goes deep. When you live through these extremes, your wisdom comes hard and fast.

Stand up to Amber

Go Elon go

Theres a subtle intention on this, if we keep it to ourselves we will suffer on our own potential mistakes, so open it to others let them do the mistakes and mitigate it on our end.

Patents are crucial!! They protect small businesses especially

[katherinem.]

You are so nice….you can afford to compete with anyone, so that’s awesome!! It has to do with how good and how competitive you are. If you are not going to have any chance of going under, that’s an awesome thing!! If a company is going under, they could sell their patent, couldn’t they??

[Yaminashi]

Without competition there is no room for improvement

[bizzybee]

Imagine. If someone finds a way to take his patents or change just enough to file causing him to cease building something. But props for open source style sharing. This will further ev cars so much faster. Such an enigma he is

This is awesome because I read the other day some company was sued for making copies on their copy machine in a work setting. The printer was made for home and because they were using the patented copy function of the printer in a business setting the company who owned the patent sued the company and they won. I really wish I would've saved that article I read it was one of the most absurd thing I'd ever heard of but apparently there's patent companies who just go around slapping patents on things that are technically hard for the patent office to understand and then they approve the patent because the patent office doesn't fully understand how common and easy it is to make this certain patented item.

Allowing competitors generate brilliant ideas 💡
