    Remember, this is the man that sold his first company Zip2 by doing this

    “Ever marketing savvy, the Musk brothers tried to make their Web service seem more important by giving it an imposing physical body. Musk built a huge case around a standard PC and lugged the unit onto a base with wheels.
