Elon’s End Game Is Going Live -- And It Could Make You a Fortune (Ad)

The media and the so-called experts have laughed at Elon Musk his entire career. CBS called PayPal “one of the 10 worst business ideas ever.” Founder Peter Thiel saw 227,490% returns in one year. Tesla was dismissed as “a rich man’s toy.” Now it's worth more than the next 40 car companies combined.
