I finally finished the audiobook of Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future over the weekend. I enjoyed it, and also want to point out Appendix 2 in the book, which was a short overview of Musk's thoughts about PayPal, why it worked and why he thinks it hasn't gotten any better as a service since 2001. It was a brief but interesting overview of creating a low cost competitive advantage in a business and it gave me a few things to think about.
