Elon Musk Bets his salary

In Dec, Elon Musk tweeted that he was so irritated with California traffic that he was "going to create a tunnel boring machine and simply start digging." Then he did. That is why it's worth thinking his latest outlandish proposal: That if he can't fix South Australia's electricity problems in only 100 times, he'll base the bill.

The plan to ease the Australian state's recent ability turmoil with at least 100 megawatt time of new power supply arrays was initially suggested by SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive. Musk himself was the main one to include the "or it's free" offer in a tweet to enterprise capitalist Mike Cannon-Brookes, who cast hesitation on the sincerity of Tesla's offer Thursday night night. Cannon-Brookes didn't react to a obtain comment.

"We achieved it in 3 months in California. Similar size unit installation," Musk informed Gizmodo over Tweets DM. True enough, Mira Loma became the house associated with an 80-megawatt hours power supply substation this January--though Ars Technica accounts that, including planning, the task took nearer to half a year. Ten extra times for yet another 20 megawatt time will be small, especially since Australia is significantly further from Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada than California.


It's unclear, however, why Musk would have to offer the type of "in X time or your cash back" deal generally associated with pizza delivery procedures. Twitter pissing suits are funny doing this.

"Our systems been employed by perfectly for California and Hawaii, amongst others," Musk simply described. "Not our words -- just read their pr announcements."
