Elon Musk’s Sun Valley Message Lost on Some Mogul Attendees

Elon Musk’s vision of the future was rocket science for some of the most successful U.S. media executives at the Allen & Co. Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho.

A number of media moguls milling about the resort expressed a mixture of awe and confusion after co-founder of Tesla Motors Inc. talked at a panel on Wednesday. While CBS Corp. Chief Executive Officer Les Moonves dubbed Musk a “genius,” other attendees said they had no idea what Musk was talking about.
