Making reusable rockets is impossible and stupid. Electric cars are stupid and wont work. Satellite internet is too expensive and stupid. So far Elmo is batting 3 for 3 and I am going to bet he can make it work. Unlike the CyberTruck
More nuanced (and without using the word “stupid”)
Making reusable rockets is very difficult. It was high risk, high reward.
Electric cars were always the climate change solution IF the battery gets good enough. And it got good enough. I hate my country’s car industry (I’m from Germany) for not getting their asses up.
Satellite internet is in fact too expensive for average customers. I think, no on has ever declared it as bad for people in regions without existing internet intrastructure. The question is how profitable it is, but it’s not publicly traded, so we will probably not get the numbers.
For sure, Elmo can somehow make profit out of it, e.g. by selling the space cloud usage as “can’t be controlled by an government on earth” for a high price. But when we concentrate on the facts: It can’t be more efficient than Azure or AWS on earth, at least not for the next decades.
none of these things “have worked” they just represent a privately subsidized shift in infrastructure and society. there is no such thing as progress, you progressive
