    Once Elon Musk was asked about how to find inspiration to continue forward in the difficult field of space exploration.

    His response was that for anyone who needs inspiration, they should just go do something else, because it’s a hard enough field that it won’t be possible for a person who doesn’t have sufficient intrinsic motivation.

        A long time ago he did useful things before the brain rot set in.

        Just because someone is a twat now doesn’t mean we should erase all their past achievements.

          Not really. He just bought his way into all the positions of power he held. He didn’t create paypal, he didn’t create Tesla, he didn’t create the boring company, he didn’t create SpaceX, he didn’t create Twitter. The only marginally useful thing he did was throw money at things.
