At long last, 2017 has met its untimely end and a brand new year stretches out before us like a Falcon 9 rocket streaking across the skies of Los Angeles. And much like everyone who saw that mysterious shape in the clouds above the City of Angels, we have many, many questions… except ours are more, “What does 2018 have in store for us?” than, “Is that a UFO?” More specifically, in the grand spirit of Muskwatch, we have a number of questions for Elon Musk about what our favorite part of Iron Man 2 hopes to achieve in 2018 and beyond.

In today’s episode, Kyle Hill and Dan Casey (that’s me) dive headfirst into the muskiest questions of 2018:

- Will Tesla and SpaceXOpens in a new tab be merging into one mega-company?
- When will Musk’s mysterious network of orbital satellitesOpens in a new tab provide us with the high speed internet we crave? I want to play Overwatch against him and see if he’s as talented at first-person shooters as he is at investing and innovating.
- What exactly is the plan for the legions of venomous bats that The Boring Company’s sprawling underground tunnel systemOpens in a new tab will inevitably awaken from their slumber?
