I don't think I'll be able to prove you wrong, my opinion on gates isn't really as positive as it is to musk's, he definitely comes off as snakey to me and in his early years used jobs genius to achieve his vision, there's a few interviews where he reminisces about not being the man Jobs was. from what I've read on both, Steve was an ass but Bill was a blanket hiding dark undertones, like that guy from American Psycho. that being said he did what was needed to achieve his vision with microsoft, there's a reason it and macOS are the only two serious commercial os rn. Bills definitely an interesting character to look into, nothing like musk, he kinda did his thing and became the greatest titan on a single thing, then just let his wealth and knowledge taper off to where it is now. i personally see the current work he's doing right now as a waste of his talents, and the money his way of offloading cost of brainpower, but it seems to be inefficient and makes me wonder what his endgame is. i guess the most logical answer would be he's had enough of being on top

Read up on him mang, Gates was legit gud in programming and maths. With a bunch of friends, he was searching for bugs in PDP-10s as a high schooler, and then he had a paper published at Harvard before dropping out in his second year. Then, they (Gates, Allen and a third guy who did the floating point routines) were the first to write a BASIC interpreter for the new Altair, which soon became the first product of uSoft.
Its very strange that a lot of people think he’s a scam nowadays. It’s quite embarassing that this bs is prevalent in /sci/ or /g/ too.

Probably not in my lifetime but that fervor to do so could easily start from cultural backing, which could be contributed by communities like this one. Not like I'm out to proactively dismantle movements or anything, I just simply stumbled upon this thread.

I had to apologise because it feels very out of shape for me to turn vulgar to those extremes, I do in fact suffer with conflicting minds.

As I said in >>12373923 he (together with Paul Allen and Monte Davidoff) wrote a full interpreter in it, which is not a trivial thing to pull off, even if you are good with your programming.

Sure you have more tools, but expectations have increased more than tools have.
Only saving grace now is that people are more concerned with how it looks rather than how it operates.
However, Bill Gates achievements technically are not the same thing as starting and running a company that launches rockets, not should you compare the two.
Once Bill Gates made the first few versions of his product he dusted his hands of it, and handed It onto someone else, some other specialist. He then moved onto other philanthropic shit.
Bill Gates made one successful company and effectively retired.
Steve jobs is effectively a skilled Tech salesman. Sure he knows how to make the Tech, but he was far better at marketing and selling it.

Musk is part of the elite now whether you like it or not. He has the second highest net worth now. If you think the elite normally doesn't have the interests of others prioritized what makes you think Musk does? Because he watches anime and smokes weed on our favorite podcasts just like the common prole? It's pretty tricky trying to muddy class borders while leveraging it to his full advantage.

>It's another episode of /sci/ falling for the Great Man Theory.
It's possible to appreciate the contribution of an individual without deifying him. Repeat this to yourself 100 times. Do it now.
No single man drives history. Reality is a complex network of interests between multiple competing groups. No single person is in control of history. You are not a conspiracy nut. You are in /sci/. You can do better than this.

So the verdict is:
>Elon Musk is making important contributions to technology, mostly in the electrical car and space exploration realm. Arguably many of these are not necessarily his creations, but he has a good sales acumen and good charisma for exploiting geeky space travel and I FUCKING LOVE TECH nerds.
>Most of his other projects are not as good/straight up failures, but this is consistent with the fact that reality is not a one variable problem and he is not an uber genius, as discussed. This shouldn't be a problem unless you deify him.

Hopefully by now you can appreciate his contributions, whatever they may be, and not deify him. Go ahead and do that for every single other figure you believe shaped history alone.

That you shouldn't get to walk away from risks you create for others.
To mlon usk, people are just numbers that he gets to manipulate as he pleases without taking any personal risk or things that he creates.
