One oil company?
- bigtex88 4y agoYou're trolling, aren't you? No one can be this stupid, especially not someone who reads this blog.
- pbreit 4y agoHow so? I consider multiple creations substantially more impressive than one.
- literalAardvark 4y agoThen you'll be very impressed by the number of creations Rockefeller had. Standard Oil itself was an empire, not a factory, in a time when it took weeks and an army to get even information sent out. Carnegie was incredible as well. I'm not saying Elon isn't impressive, he is. He's just not the MOST impressive. One tiny space sailing company and a shoddy carriage company compare poorly to the empires of Standard Oil, Carnegie steel, Ford, and the side projects of these people (multiple high impact philanthropic enterprises). They're the literal hands that built America. He's still young though, there's some hope for him.
- pbreit 4y agoI'm confused. Rockefeller now gets credit for Carngeie, Mellon and Ford? Spacex, the by far most prolific private space company ever is a "tiny space company"? The by far most consequential EV company is a "shoddy carriage company"? And not even mentioning Zip2, PayPal, OpenAI, Boring or Neuralink? Wow.
