That would require either of them to be good at building anything, and I don't think either has ever demonstrated that. They're just money men, and Musk went out of his way to PR himself as the real life Iron Man before utterly ruining it because he can't shut his mouth when he really, really should.

- ToucanLoucan 2y agoGive me six billion dollars and I'll also "build" a space company. I also don't know fuckall about rockets, and Elon and I have that in common.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Give me six billion dollars and I'll also "build" a space company You're off by an order of magnitude on the start-up capital SpaceX drew, and that almost exclusively from Musk.
- ToucanLoucan 2y agoDoesn't change the fact that he didn't build shit. He brought money, which is what I said he did. He wrote some code back in the 90's and there's no evidence he's done any actual work since then. His job is to be rich, and write checks. Anyone can do that. I wrote a check this morning. Well, that and going on Joe Rogan to get high and crash the stock price of his companies. I could do that too I suppose but I'd prefer not to.
