If anything, another example of how a decent tech/engineer may not be the best spokesperson or decision maker.

- feet 4y agoHe hasn't actually done any physics or engineering work though, that's my point. He throws money at problems, it's the spaghetti method of hiring engineers to work on problems. The only thing he contributes is capital That's not even mentioning that half or more of his projects fail
