I understand your wonder. I think this is why Elon Musk is such a role model. After achieving independence, he is working on making the world a better place. At the same time, I can see that this subject is going to become more important as more of the work that society depends on is automated.
- akldfgj 14y agoElon Musk's current projects are still business ventures. And they aren't even lost causes like Shuttleworth's, which are de facto charities.
- justincormack 14y agoShuttleworth is trying to make money but revenues are still below costs. Redhat got a lot of the obvious market first though. I don't see it is any worse than any other startup trying to pivot to make revenue.
- robryan 14y agoElon Musk doesn't really have the money to run them any other way, to run projects of that magnitude at a possible permanent loss you would need to be right up the top of the worlds richest people.
