Elon Musk on How to Build the Future
It always saddens me when I see a slew of Debbie Downer comments from the HN crowd.<p>"Yes, he ushered in the electric car revolution, but the production carbon footprint is still huge!"<p>"Yes, he's building rockets, but he took a bunch of government money!"<p>"Yes, he's paving the way to Mars, but what has he done for world hunger?"<p>And it not just with Musk, but really with anyone who has been successful. I would have thought that the technologists were above such petty envy. We're here to improve humanity's lot, aren't we?
