It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality.

Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] Vanity?

He sold the F1 according to http://moschus.livejournal.com/81449.html

This article reads like Elon wrote it himself, vanity and all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.41.109 (talk) 20:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

An anonymous writer changed B.S. in Physics to B.A. in Physics under education. I have never known physics to be a B.A. degree, but does U. Penn. do it differently? Dschmelzer 15:54, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is Elon Musk Jewish?

Elon is a Jewish name. Could he be Jewish? What is his earlier history?

[edit] Citizen of?

Can we call him a South African-America.. or American or Canadian-American etc.. what are his citizenships? -- Stbalbach 04:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Donations to Wikipedia?

Does anyone want to look and see his donations to wikipedia? I see a recent one for $1000, and I'm sure there are more.--72.132.52.138 05:54, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

That's great (cheers Musk), but I don't think it would be appropriate to mention it in the article. -- Stbalbach 13:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday?

We have had two versions of his birthday: June 28 and November 7th (both 1971). Which is correct? --Stbalbach 21:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Anon editor User:66.163.20.125 removed the reference to Nov 7th from the article (it said "Born Nov 7th or June 28th"), so I assume this editor on good faith knows what they are talking about. -- Stbalbach 12:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

[edit] Tesla Motors

i am far from an expert on Mr. Musk but i wonder at the lack of detail on Tesla Motors. Does he own it? What is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.118.89.222 (talk) 16:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
