Which positive achievements are we talking about exactly?
1 comments

Just to name a few:

Zip2 Corporation

SpaceX

Tesla Motors

SolarCity

The Boring Company

Hyperloop

Open AI

Neuralink

What exactly has Hyperloop "achieved"? It offers the same benefit as Maglev with massively inflated costs and far less comfortable passenger experience.
I didn't ask which companies he has/had a stake in, I'm asking what the supposed positive achievements for humanity are? Don't bother, there really aren't any.

Musk is not your real-life Tony Stark, he's a real life Hugo Drax.

> I'm asking what the supposed positive achievements for humanity are? Don't bother, there really aren't any.

Why such contempt? To infer that Starlink, Tesla and SpaceX are not positive achievements for humanity is a bit cretinous.

More importantly. What positive achievements have you done? The likely answer is that Musk or any founder which company is publicly traded (not including social media ones for obv reasons) are a net positive for the world compared to you.

I find it fascinating how people watching from the sidelines love to dunk on entrepreneurs. They also seem to be always angry at the world.

The quote "Comparison is the thief of joy" by FDR has never ringed more true.
