Elon Musk’s business partner says a real-life version of "Jurassic Park" could "probably" happen but only if the tech whizzes "wanted to."

But, with about "15 years of breeding and engineering" anything is possible "to get super exotic novel species," he added.
However, many of those who responded to Hodak made their skepticism known to the executive.
While such an endeavor sounds like an ambitious impossibility, Tesla and SpaceX executive Musk has reveled in opportunities to otherwise prove his doubters wrong.
