This clearly demonstrates what can be achieved if vision and creativity are unfettered.
Musk has the capital to enable his pursuit of a vision, the mental faculties to dream in the first place, but most importantly the autonomy to act and direct his actions.
I'd like to think, wow!, look at what can be done, our govt should act like this !!, but in truth it is impossible for anything creative (or effective) like this to come out of anything that isn't driven by a strong individual will that has total freedom to act without question
Organisations and collectives get dumber as they get bigger, blanket policies and "KPI's" stifle progress, people stop trying because "politics" becomes a pain in ass and nothing gets done.
A case for the begin dictator it seems. How long before he goes batshit crazy though..lol!!
