Stiff Posted June 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The more I read about his ideas, the more respect he gains from me. Eccentricity aside, he's a true visionary. You've just got to admire the guy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torchwoodchi Posted June 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) I'm so tired of Elon Musk, and everyone acting like he's some visionary. First, he didn't invent solar panels. Although, his solar panel company is hemorrhaging money. Second, he didn't invent hybrid cars. Although, he did take billions in government subsidies(our money) and make cars for the rich(while hemorrhaging money). Third, his vision for Mars isn't any more visionary than a dozen sci-fi writers, or movie-makers. Finally, I will give some credit for Space-X's limited success. Although, he didn't invent space rockets that can deliver payloads, either. Jules Vernes was more Visionary than he'll ever be. So there!

Unusual Tournament Posted June 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Living inside a protective bubble on another planet isn't my idea of living. But hey... each to his own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taniwha Posted June 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It's a nightmare to consider any problems going wrong with the main structures or infrastructure on such a remote planet. It really would be a disaster waiting to happen, we are earth creatures nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxasa Posted June 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have to agree with those that are tired of hearing from Musk in areas where he has little to no expertise. He's a businessman, not a visionary...at least not any more a visionary than you or I. Most of his original ideas aren't profitable or practical and some are just downright bad (i.e. Hyperloop.) I'm sure there's a reason he feels he needs to claim to be a visionary and I'm sure it has something to do with megalomania, but for those that don't worship people for personality but respect them for knowledge, Musk just doesn't cut it. At least not in my eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticwerewolf Posted June 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'm not worried about it, it won't happen in my lifetime and even if it somehow managed to happen while I was still around I am not smart enough to be needed or wanted in a colony out there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted June 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Elon Musk is a leader. He is able to share a vision, elicit support, take risks, and bring about change. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted June 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 16, 2017 And for what could happen after we colonize Mars, watch SyFy's "The Expanse". A lot of the show is a stretch of technology, but I can see this happening, especially with human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Willis Posted June 16, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Whether he is a visionary or not, Musk and his team have created over 40,000 jobs in the various corporations he is involved with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
