He is a man who owns and can raise massive amounts of money and promise smart people the ability to build something they want to build. That he gets so much credit for his ventures is a very strange thing to me given how many he has vs how few hours in the day he must have to actually pay any attention to them.
- burrows 4y agoSo you think he would be more deserving of credit if he only did SpaceX? instead of SpaceX, Tesla, NeuraLink, etc?

And of the few that do have that money they are generally fairly risk adverse to losing so much when they can get near guaranteed returns rather than making huge gambling risks. Especially when doubling your millions of dollars would mean basically nothing in terms of quality of life improvements.
