Hey All - as you can see from the title I am trying to get into contact with Elon. I know at face value it may be funny but in all seriousness, I invented a novel product that is mission critical in terms of what he is working on with the recent directive to looking into the FAA and ATC tech. I am already working with several congressional leaders but even through their contacts, and congressional liason; Elon is not an easy man to actually get on a call or infront of. Reaching out to the community here to see if anyone has any indirect or direct communication touch points. Finally, I realize this ask, even if someone were to have a connection, they would be extremely reluctant to actually make the introduction. In full disclosure, I will read you in to the project so their is no concern in reputational risk since this is a big ask. Appreciate you reading this, if you made it thus far. Please DM obviously.

In terms of all other regular logical avenues of outreach, I have tried them and will continue to do so, but hence the shot at putting this post out there. Mostly due to recent events their is increased sense of urgency.

I appreciate any suggestions as well, but please don't respond saying stuff like it won't happen, no shot, ect, I mean do what you want but it will just strengthen my resolve. This isn't a matter of happening, just when and how quick it happens. Again appreciate the time getting this far.

Thanks

Edit - Patent already granted.
Why not tell us so we are the first to 'Read All About It!'

Agreed, you have to know the idea in order to find the patent but yes it is public information. Handing over the idea to someone even with the patent then becomes a race to get it to market.
Many companies have or subscribe to a patent watch service that would neatly group any new patent application (so much before a grant) into a categories of relevant tech. I used to get these briefs monthly and was informed on our competitors’ moves pretty early on.

So, _we_ here might need to know the idea to find that patent (application) but if it is relevant to the car companies, they already know what it is.

Patents are best kept by big companies as toys to bargin with. Small inventors best keep “the idea” a secret and work towards a realization of it that can be demoed without exposing the workings and/or find an “in” with a company willing to buy or invest in it. Both not easy but better than wasting money on a patent.

Luckily. Is doesn't directly have to do with cars. It has to do with his new initiatives with DOGE which who would have known he would have been handed keys to gov. He's doing a great job but no way I could have or anyone could have predicted his involvement with all agencies.

Any luck ?
Have a meeting setup on 3/1 with a congressional office so far. Sorry for the cryptic response, I can't provide the name of who it is..also have been provided several leads and interests privately so yes I'd say it was worth the time to post this.
