And you are fixating on technical prowness for technical prowness' sake.

If a start button can improve the life of billions then it should be pursued.

There are many thousands of "start button" alike solution which would improve the life of billions but the capital and the man hours are tied into fixations which are impossible or perpetually 20 years in the future.

What a religious comment.

Name someone doing more. Please do
Basically everybody who is not reinventing the wheel for political purposes.

Musk history is basically reinventing the wheel to fit political narratives not bona fide consumer need for a paradigm shift

Electric cars (reinventing the wheel to latch onto the left political narrative of climate change)

Twitter (reinventing the wheel to latch onto the right wing political narrative of censorship)

SpaceX (reinventing the wheel to latch onto the right/left political narrative of military domination)

The true paradigm shift that has a chance to change people's lives is AI and LLMs and Musk missed it completely, and spectacularly, like he was informed of everything that was being developed and still decided not to direct resources there up until ChatGPT shook the world, then he jumped on the bandwagon like everybody else who didn't have inside information
