Musk’s specialty is selling vaporware and big promises.

Satoshi released working software without prior announcements and did hardly anything to promote it.

I don’t know how anyone really thinks Elon could be Satoshi.

Dude created a company that built a reusable rocket and you accuse him of selling vaporware.

We're talking about someone with inhuman self-control, and GP is talking about someone that just can't keep his mouth shut and loves being in the spotlight.

If the genesis block did contain the image of a trollface (or any other 2008-era meme) instead of "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks", I could entertain this theory.

I often wonder what would happen if Satoshi’s wallet would actively start selling.

Not so much on the price but the principles that underpin Bitcoin

I, for the record, remain a believer.

It's easy to retain self control when you already want for literally nothing.

[tsimionescu]

Well, not for Elon Musk.

Gwynne Shotwell created a company that built a reusable rocket. Elon gave his name and a pile of money to it.

[spaceman_2020]

Plenty of people with money in the world. Yet only Elon was willing to finance Shotwell.

And last I checked, the company’s name was SpaceX, not “Elon Musk’s Rocket Company”

Your comment doesn't negate the vaporware comment.

[spaceman_2020]

How? I’m no fanboy but delivering working products pretty much negates all accusations of peddling vaporware.

FSD. CyberTruck. Humanoid Robot. Semi.

Also: Neurolink. Boring Company. Twitter Acquisition.

[spaceman_2020]

You’re confusing marketing hyperbole for vaporware.

[arcticbull]

A man jumping around in a suit being sold as a robot isn't hyperbole, it's vaporware.
