I was there today. The emotion was shared and felt by everyone in the room. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like this could ultimately become a serious free speech issue.

Edit: I ask a very dry question at the 45 minute mark. I'm pretty easy to spot because I'm wearing Google Glass.

He gets like that sometimes, and you can see he really cares about the products he's making and the change he's trying to make in the world. So sometimes he seems deeply affected that others are so much against him, especially when they aren't playing fair.

He became a bit emotional in another interview where he said that Neil Armstrong was opposed to the idea of having SpaceX making commercial rockets (or any other private company), and that Neil Armstrong was a hero of his before, and he was very disappointed seeing Neil fight against SpaceX.

You can see at 0:40, but I'm not sure it was all of it (from that part). It was on the 60 Minutes interview.

"he seems deeply affected that others are so much against him, especially when they aren't playing fair"

How exactly is Tesla playing fair? Did all car manufacturers receive a $500 million loan to build electric cars or something?
