Tao Lin, Tesla's vice president of external affairs, recently forwarded a video interview with Musk, in which Musk said that he would not engage in monopoly and open up all patents. Musk said: None of my companies have done anything to inhibit competition. In fact, we have done the opposite and encouraged competition and innovation.
In Tesla,They have open sourced all their patents and anyone can use them for free,We give charger technology to other manufacturers for free. We could build a wall, but instead we invite them in to accelerate humanity's move toward sustainable energy.
Musk also revealed that SpaceX does not use (exclusive) patents and is completely open.
Many of SpaceX's design drawings have been made public on the official website. They are very detailed and can be imitated at will. The engine design drawings, Falcon 9 rocket design and new design plans are all publicly displayed.
In addition, Musk also announced the purpose of founding SpaceX.It is the hope that humans will become a multi-planetary species.
If we expand the scope and scale of our consciousness, then we are better able to figure out what questions to ask, to understand the nature of the universe, and maybe we can find the meaning of life, where do we come from? Where are we going?
