I sometimes wonder if this site is really Hacker News. While sanity or decency aren't something he seems to be particularly well acquainted with, Musk is obviously not telling poor people to work for peanuts here. He's telling talented people, the sort of people who have their pick of jobs, to take a chance on something that might benefit humanity and push back the frontiers of knowledge rather than simply chasing money for themselves. The sort of attitude that, y'know, hackers might find cool?
- nullindividual 3y agoNothing Musk does is "cool". He consumes air and produces CO2 while supplying greenbacks he didn't make. Other people do the real work for him and feed him only what he wants to hear (see his "handlers" at SpaceX that largely keep him OUT of the day-to-day business -- contrast his with abject failure of Twitter where he has direct control). Stop letting the billionaire take other people's credit. We already have to deal with bosses like that. It's shameful that anyone on HN idolizes this person.
