The world according to Elon Musk is about to get more ambitious -- ranging from a Seattle engineering office to develop and launch satellites to the on-time delivery of electric sport-utility vehicles that appeal to women.
The 43-year-old billionaire also said in an interview he’s optimistic his Space Exploration Technologies Corp., the first commercial rocket maker to deliver cargo to the International Space Station, will settle a lawsuit with the U.S. Air Force over satellite launch contracts, and that construction of a Tesla “gigafactory” for electric-car batteries outside Reno, Nevada, is on schedule.
