Elon Musk: The Man With His Mind in the Future
I've been following Musk since before it was cool (hacker hipsters unite) and I deeply respect everything he's done - he's one of my personal heroes.<p>But, I am seeing the beginnings of a personality cult by some on HN which I thoroughly dislike and I have seen before with the rise of Steve Jobs and Apple.<p>I just want to state - let's not start feeling that Musk, and Musk alone did these things. This has been the work of thousands of people over many years (not all at SpaceX/Tesla) with <i>critical</i> aid provided by the much maligned and mocked US government. Musk is great - but let's not make it too personal.
