Musk actually builds things that no one else is, over and over again. It gets written about because he's accomplishing results - it's different than just having ideas. I have ideas, but I never built them out in the world.
- babyrainbow 9y agoYes. Non one has built an electric car. A rocket engine. and a payment gateway. Paypal was not even built by Elon Musk...By the way. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confinity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confinity
- hn_throwaway_99 9y agoI think that totally misses the point. Yes, there have been other electric cars. There have been no other electric cars that have integrated such great functionality in such a desirable body. Musk proved electric cars could be cool. Same thing goes for private spaceflight. There are other private spaceflight companies, but no others are doing as much to advance the reduction of launch costs. Again, it's similar to the argument some people make that the iPod was just another MP3 player, or the iPhone was just another phone.
