This was a really good read, although it did come off as a bit 'over positive' towards Elon & Tesla.

Thanks for introducing me to waitbutwhy.com I like the concept but I've not seen it before.

Well, Elon Musk is a very polarizing figure (for good and for bad reasons). I believe that he truly wants to save Earth and humanity, and that his ultimate motives are altruistic to the point of fanatism. Tim's article doesn't deal with the way he treats subordinates or his other character flaws, although I'm not sure whether the article would have been the right place for this criticism. What negative aspects of Elon and Tesla did you miss?

Tim Urban is an incredibly insightful writer, and I'm really glad I found this website. His series on procrastination [1] helped my productivity immensely.
