SpaceX doing amazing work and Musk being an egomaniacal $hole are not mutually exclusive
- wilg 2y agoI encourage as many people as possible who are less wacko than Musk to try to beat him at his own game. Will be good for everyone.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoAbsolutely. Steve Jobs, patron saint of tech that he now is, was neither reasonable nor a pleasant person to work with or be around ($hole in today's parlance). (However, this changed considerably as he was nearing the end of his life.)
- badnews2u 2y agobeing a hypocritical "nice guy" and innovation are incompatible
- insane_dreamer 2y agoI strongly disagree with that take. Pushing the envelope does not require treating others like &hit. Also, there are degrees of "niceness", it's not a binary state.
- lupusreal 2y agoThat kind of nuance is often lacking on this website and reddit.
