He's taking energy tech that already exists and putting a nice matte on it

Literally the Apple of electric motors and solar panels

He's in manufacturing, not R&D

All the real innovation comes from making those things cheaper, not prettier looking

Saying Munsk doesnt do R&D is nuts. You have to recognize in SpaceX he's company is building a reusuable rocket that lands itself, which is pretty much the pinnacle of 20th century science fiction finally being realized. Other companies are working on that problem too, sure, like John Carmack's got a small company doing it but it's on hold while Carmack goes to make VR games for facebook.

also the people with this opinion probalby think they will be one of brave intrepid space pioneers terraforming and discovering new planets.

Nature is taking over at the abandoned lot that used to house Cairo's largest employer, the Burkart Foam company. It closed more than a decade ago. More recently, the paper mill just across the river in Kentucky closed. More people moved out. In December of 2015, the only grocery store closed, soon followed by the gas station.



Alexander County is not only the poorest county in Illinois; it's also one of the fastest depopulating counties in the United States.

Kirk Siegler/NPR

"They no longer have pumps," Matthews says, frowning as he points it out.

All this blight: the abandoned businesses, the old, partly burned down mansions with roofs caving in, it's unsettling. But Matthews says state grants promised for demolition of properties like these dried up long ago, and the job was barely half done.



there are levels of hosed and these guys are finding how deep those levels extend
