Did you miss Zuckerberg pledging $45 billion to his foundation last month?
- Havoc 11y ago>Did you miss Zuckerberg pledging $45 billion to his foundation last month? I did forget about that yes. Its not quite what I meant though. Its not about the money. There is a bit of a loss of "star" power at work here here. Take the hyperloop example - it sounded a bit outrageous but because it was Musk that proposed it people had a serious look at the numbers. Had I proposed a plan of equal technical merit it wouldn't have gotten the same attention. Thats why I think people like that should leverage that.
