I would argue Apple after Steve Jobs's death is more of a rent seeker then Tesla with Elon Musk.
You don't hear anything but lawsuits from Apple these days and no innovation at all.
At least Musk is still pushing the envelope.
- zimpenfish 13y agoI'm not sure I'd class the first 64bit mobile phone + OS (months ahead of any competition) as "no innovation".
- stcredzero 13y agoIt's pushing the technological envelope by applying existing tech. One could argue that Grasshopper is the same sort of thing. DC-X and the Lunar Lander already implemented hovering by tail-sitting on rocket thrust. Musk is just applying the tech.

- rimantas 13y agoSo which did not exist before Musk, electric cars of rockets?
- Fuxy 13y agoAre you saying there were no phones with a touch screen before apple? There's a difference between doing thing and doing things right and going the extra mile and putting in the effort to polish it up making it use friendly and developer friendly by having good documentation. Electric car existed before Tesla but nowhere as good as the Tesla, rockets existed before SpaceX but they were extremely expensive and mostly funded by taxpayer money touch screen phone existed before Apple but they were awful. So what's your point?
- md2be 13y agoThis is total nonsense. If you want to get a sense of the innovator at apple, read the Johnny Ives book.
