jay plemons(@jayplemons):Elon Musk: Patents are for the weak. Ted Cruz: “As I’m walking through with Elon, he’s pointing at the stuff and he says, this is all alien technology. And then he says something really unusual. We don’t patent any of it. I assume everyone is going to steal everything I make. Patents are for the weak. By the time they steal it, I’m going to be five or six generations down the road and it won’t matter.” Patrick Bet-David: “What a powerful thing to say. Can you imagine? It is like an insult to your competition to say, ‘Guys, I'm not even thinking about you.’” @tedcruz @elonmusk @patrickbetdavid
