>Also note that Comcast, BP, EA etc. are all successful businesses. They just shitty to humans, but successful. So founding a big successful technology company is a big achievement, but not a unique one. What nonsense. If Comcast didn't exist, some other company would provide cable service to its customers, and NBC would have another owner. If BP didn't exist some other oil company would be searching for petroleum in the Gulf of Mexico and northern Alaska. If EA had gone the way of Epyx, Synapse, SSI, or 99% of other video game companies founded in the early 1980s, its video games would have appeared under another publisher's banner. If Tesla[1] didn't exist, would the global e-car industry be anywhere close to what it is today? If SpaceX didn't exist, the odds are very, very high that the rocket industry would still be 100% expendables into the foreseeable future. [1] Yes, yes, I know Musk didn't found Tesla
