  2. Uber Entrepreneur: An Evening with Elon Musk

    By the age of 12 Elon Musk had sold his first commercial software, a space game called Blaster. Sixteen years later he sold his first company, Zip2, to Compaq’s Alta Vista division for $341 million in cash and stock. His next act was as co-founder of PayPal, which was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock in 2002.

    Musk then turned his energy toward two notable new ventures: SpaceX, developer and manufacturer of space launch vehicles, and Tesla Motors, developer of high-end electric automobiles - both of which were started in a downturn. What makes this visionary entrepreneur tick?

    Musk speaks with Michael Malone about innovation for the future’s sake, business strategies to get there, how to make order out of chaos along the way, and more.

  3. West Philly’s X-Kids & Cars of the Future

    Who’s going to design the car of the future? The one that’s affordable, that plugs in, charges up, goes from zero to sixty in under five seconds — and gets 100 miles per gallon? They’re working on it in Detroit, but who knows if the U.S. auto industry will die before the roll out.

    So how about a plucky group of inner-city kids from West Philadelphia led by a visionary teacher?

    They come from a world of crack houses and gang wars, but they’re winning awards for cutting-edge green auto design.

    This hour, On Point: from Philly’s mean streets — inspiration, hope, and maybe, the cars of the future.
