Macro you are a thinker. Kudos. But until you do something with it you are just that. A thinker. That's where you and Elon differ and it's light years in distance.
Just listened to joe Rogans last podcast with Elon. Anyone who denies the brilliance of this guy and also his sound intentions is either just jealous or just too stupid to know they are wrong. Listen the guy think, then talk. And also his incredible work ethic. A once in a generation type person.
Nobody could denied Elon achievements. .They are extraordinary. But we have also agree they are supported by extraordinary lucky, extraordinary supportive environment. From near buncrupt few years ago to the cosmic bubble fortune. Beside we have to agree that Elon didn't invent anything, just get skills to find a team to implement known ideas. Even greater skill to convince people to follow.
His Falcon rocket engine are just copy cut reverse engineering of decades old Russian rocket engines. Engines Rd180 that American use to buy from Russians because unable to replicate technology. Since somebody like Elon get old crew from NASA program that decipher and crack Russian patents. Similar story with electric vehicle constructed on laptop batteries.
I don't have team or funds. Funds for laptop battery to power my electric inventions. So my electric solar tractor is still running on battery for electric bicycle.
BTW.I invented recently water bore pump that works on air and never brakes down. Because my Chinese electric pumps keep failing constantly. I lost 4 of them already.
So my new pump should deliver water , even muddy , with sediments, to any head required and never brakes down, once running on our Sun energy alone. Lucky guy like Elon will have instantly millions in patents. Me be lucky to get few hundred dollars for plastic pipes to get 35 meters deep bore and few basic parts.
But when project finished cattle could enjoy free drink and even showers at scorching Australia heat. Not a rocket science, but still proud to make something useful.My pump should be able to pump any liquids, oil including. In the country like US could replace typical repricical oil pumps, because they are easier to install , unbreakable and cheaper.
