The analogy he makes (in an interview with Chris Hayes I just saw) is that if there's a bunch of teams bailing out a sinking ship, and you're team is doing great because of your bucket technology, it won't matter much in the end if when the ships sinks because you didn't share the tech.

the guy is just not about making money.

yeah i wanted to post about that. He is a pretty cool guy.
I loved his interview when he was just getting Space-x going. A reporter asked him in a snarky way why he thought he is capable of understanding and running a space program. He just matter of factly stated, that he had read all the technical books and studied them.
There was nothing the reporter could say, it was clear in the message. I am a genius, you are a fool. Don't bother me..lol

So awesome.
