> Heck I'm a "visionary" too, just add one billion dollars and tons of free time and see what I come up with!

Thread winner. There is little difference between a billionaire and anyone else except a billion dollars.



Many billionaire doesn't give a damn about humanity or earth in general. In fact this precise trait had made them billionaire in the first place.


I agree, it's brilliant, and a great counter to the idea of how the "entrepreneur hero" is intrinsically better than the rest of us.


And when Jobs died, we needed a new icon to worship and show us the Future. Musk was in the right place at the right time.
