Can you list some recent scientific publications authored by Elon Musk that you seem worthy of a Nobel Prize?
- retskrad 2y agoWithout Musk, there would be no SpaceX, no reusable rockets, and no focused effort toward becoming an interplanetary species. Without his leadership, the talented people at SpaceX would be elsewhere—likely at NASA—buried in bureaucracy and achieving far less. Just look at Jony Ive. A talented person who has hired most of the talented designers who worked at Apple during the Steve Jobs tenure. What have these talented people done without the Steve Jobs leadership?
- dotnet00 2y agoThe nobel prizes tend to focus on scientific discoveries, often primarily from smaller groups, not engineering or entrepreneurial success. SpaceX or Musk just don't really fit into the cateogires that well, and the committee is probably not all that desperate for Musk's attention to give him a throwaway Peace prize.
- OKRainbowKid 2y agoI don't see any research authored by Musk in your comment. I, for one, am glad Nobel Prizes are generally awarded (Peace prize being an exception) for extraordinary, individual research contributions, and not to controversial billionaire entrepreneurs.
- VerminOctopus1 2y agoWhat an utterly bizarre thing to post on a thread about the Nobel prize for physiology/medicine.
- OKRainbowKid 2y agoWhat I found bizarre is demanding a Nobel Prize being awarded to an entrepreneur. Is there any precedent for that?
