Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is already historic. At $44 billion, it was the largest leveraged buyout of a technology company in history.

First, I must publicly thank David Leonhardt of The New York Times for indirectly giving me some terrific new plot ideas and storylines for my TV series Xtra Terresla now in development thanks to a couple of brave new world investors with herculean guts and vision.  They’ll also get co-executive producer status.

Winding its way around Hollywood production circles is a TV Series called Xtra Terresla™ whose main character is modelled after Tesla titan, Elon Musk.  

As creator of the series, I made Musk the hero, but lately, I’m wondering maybe I should change him to the arch villain, based on how rough Musk plays in the real world, which he seems to want to control with his immense wealth.

It’s interesting to see how much people are willing to pay to travel from point A to point B:  Is $50 too much for a 15-minute Uber to the airport; is $500 reasonable for a one-way flight from JFK to LAX?  For a few hundred thousand dollars, today’s trendiest travel just takes a person from point A and back, but it does include a brief stop in the stratosphere. So, is consumer space travel worth its astronomical price?
