Winning a competition to ship cargo and then people to the space station is a bad thing?
Is there some universe in which entrepreneurs exit the electric car industry solely because the government starts offering consumers subsidies to buy them?
- GuB-42 7y agoIt is not a bad thing. I will never criticize a company for making money or an entrepreneur for grabbing opportunities. I don't like the hype around Elon Musk and I think Hyperloop is a borderline scam (I can detail if you want). However I also think the success of PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX are well deserved. With them the world is a better place and Elon Musk is a richer man, that's capitalism working as intended. That subsidies helped creating a company that makes nice electric cars and solar panels is the reason the subsidies exist in the first place. My previous point wasn't a criticism.
