Gates' work in public health which has actually impacted the lives of people across the economic spectrum around the world. Musk and the Google Guys have some work to do before we can say that they've actually changed things for the better through their philanthropy for humanity as a whole. They have big plans, but its still a work in progress, and they don't deserve to be called heroes just for thinking big and spending money on interesting sample runs.
- klintcho 13y agoThough still think it's quite unfair to call Tesla and SpaceX "interesting sample runs".
- kingkawn 13y agoTesla's cars are prohibitively expensive for all but the most monied. As I've understood it so far SpaceX is a novelty to date that is supported almost entirely by NASA grants in the hope that it will eventually spur a true space industry. Both projects carry great potential, truly great potential. You don't deserve hero status for your potential, but how it is ultimately realized.
