How many of you knew this?...
Every single patent Musk came up with for his Tesla operation...HE OPEN SOURCED THE PATENTS......
OPEN SOURCE...
........In that, HE DOES NOT OWN THEM. They are PUBLIC.
THIS is the guy that just bought Twitter.
You know what? If he says he's gonna open source Twitter, I am leaning towards believing him.
Not always, of course this is just hearsay, but USPTO will/does hide certain patents. Examples would be extreme alt technologies, military importance etc.
That's different. That's classified technology.
