I've met Elon & asked him for a job, then got hired for the 25 Guns Taskforce and saved Tesla €1.1M in construction damage prevention. Then I've helped accelerate the construction of the GIGA Berlin Factory, reported directly to E, assisted in the IPCEI-funding program setup for Tesla and helped hiring the other 25 Guns Taskforce members.

Wanted to sell a charger for phone addicts which charges less and less until a certain limit. Ended up filming and cutting the kickstarter video but scrapped everything after realizing the calculation was wrong (3 hours per day = 11 years of life and != 15 years) and a friend thought it could harm people if their phone battery dies when they need it in an emergency. But for the protocol, here is the link to the website and the kickstarter video (was a lot of work).

A possible solution to Climate Change
Screenshot of A possible solution to Climate Change

Problem Statement: The global atmosphere is shared by all, owned by none. Without accountability, each country has incentive to pollute while hoping others won't - leading to collective destruction. The Solution: This conceptual model of a satellite-monitored CO2 transparency system with democratic voting and economic enforcement, which would make emissions as trackable as Bitcoin transactions, solving the tragedy of the commons through blockchain-inspired accountability and transparency.
