It's a great PR move. I'm not so sure that doing this will translate directly to greater EV development, but nonetheless it's a refreshing gesture and I applaud it.
Just last week a few friends and I were discussing SpaceX, and naturally the conversation turned toward Elon Musk and his fortune. I remarked something along the lines of, "The dude spends his money on exactly the same kind of things I would spend my money on, were I incredibly ultra-wealthy: designing his own fucking rocket ships, cars, etc", and it suddenly dawned on me... The guy is basically a real-life James Bond Villain in the making.
