> It takes extraordinary skill to successfully juggle multiple ventures.

That's a myth. I've done that, and I know a lot of people who do that. Do you think Musk is writing sparse attention code for Grok? Does he even know how Grok's architecture works under the hood? Or that he designed the data centers? I mean, you delegate stuff. The only hard thing is getting the right people, but if you're a hyped up billionaire, it's easy mode because you can pay a lot, and people want to work for you. You just create an environment where they can achieve things.

There are times when the majority of your work is simply attending public meetings, podcasts, and doing interviews. People really overestimate what's involved in the work of a billionaire CEO. The people actually making things happen in space industry or AI work harder, longer, and solve more complex problems than any CEO and in some cases they need to work hard against the CEOs to actually make things happen.

blue origin vs spacex says otherwise..


Blue origin just landed their new glen rocket. Not an easy feat.

Although I wish billionaires would fix homelessness, I think its good there’s more competition in the space launch industry.


Homeless is mostly a self inflicted issue that most don’t want to solve. So why should others try solve it?
