Whatever the means he has used, he kickstarted (in the minds of consumers) at least three industries.
Would I willingly give him money? No. Unless I had an RV :)
- goodpoint 4y ago> he kickstarted (in the minds of consumers) at least three industries In reality he didn't.
- steveoscaro 4y agoHe didn't kickstart the stagnant commercial space launch industry? Really?
- baq 4y agoKickstarted is a strong word here, but revolutionized is perfectly adequate. If starship works out, he’ll monopolize it.
- goodpoint 4y agoNo, he's not an engineer or a scientist. He paid others to do the work. They did the work. > "at least three industries" He bought other companies that were already started. Bought, not founded and not invented technology himself. Somehow, when it comes to billionaires, "I paid a writer" becomes "I wrote a book".
