I edited my comment to be more clear.
As an ethnically Syrian person, Elon Musk has posted enraging racist epithets about me every single day on his Twitter. I strongly dislike him as a person for his firehose of slander against helpless refugees who aren't so privileged/fortunate as me. Look at how he is speaking towards poor Ukraine!
Despite this, his companies have without a doubt changed the world. His investments into e-banking, reusable rockets, mass market EVs, ChatGPT, Starlink, green energy, etc. sound like something from a comic book into how outsized an impact they make.
- scarface_74 2y agoHe threw money at the problem? Are you really giving him credit for ChatGPT?
- ahwelitif 2y agoYes, he threw money to build up teams to solve hard problems. According to this Wikipedia article he was a co-chair of OpenAI when it was founded in 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI#:~:text=A%20total%20of%20%241%20billion,only%20%24130%20million%20until%202019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI#:~:text=A%20total%20of%... I'm open to being wrong on that though.
- scarface_74 2y agoAccording to your citation, there was a total of $130 million invested between 10 people. He wasn’t actually involved in any of the engineering ir decision making or putting the team together.
