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.
I wonder how long after obtaining said patents he "open sourced" them?
That begs to question why even get patents to begin with, it's not a cheap process, especially for Elon/Tesla as I'm sure he doesn't have cheap lawyers/IP firm.
Because if you don't patent the tech, someone else will and then you can't use it.
Touche.
Instantly. They started the open use patents year's ago
