Millions of people's personal data gets leaked, Musk's cowboy "pry open the floor and electrical panels with a knife" electrocutes him, or blows the power for the room/floor/building or starts a fire.
That one is a risk I'm willing to take. I had to stop reading the article for a moment to marvel at just how close we really were.
Elon nearly took out both himself and Peter Thiel by rolling his uninsured McClaren F1 trying to show off during the PayPal days.
