elon musk is no hero - he is another businessman

in #spacex7 years ago

elon musk, basically a business man with computer knowledge, should not have his name mentioned in the same sentence as nikola tesla, let alone be considered an inventor. he reverse engineered russian icbm rockets for blasting shit into space. he did not invent blasting shit into space. kissing musk's ass is like kissing visa/mastercard's ass. also, until we take care of the problems here on earth, blasting shit into space is a silly distraction to many, and an untenable expense to many more. if you want to compare elon musk to a historical figure, try henry or robert krups, but not edison. i want to give credit where credit is due.

He didn't blast anything to space. That the magick trick they're selling you.

oh, i know it is thought that the zuma fell into the ocean, but wouldn't they just as well have us believe it didn't make it into orbit, considering they don't want us knowing what it is there for to begin with? :)

They want you to BELIEVE space is real. As in a place you can actually go. They're selling you heaven dressed up in sci-fi.

Well... actually comparing him to Edison is quite accurate.
Both don't deserve credit they get for inventions they did not invent.

this is very true, but a chemist actually mixing things together is more inventor'ish' than coding. but yes, edison was helped by purchasing patents and hiring real inventors to be sure. most of his products do claim to be produced by edison industrial laboratories at least. thank you for reminding me about this. :)
