gollark: Oh, and he's partly behind OpenAI, which while kind of annoying in some ways is responsible for GPT-2 and GPT-3, which are *really cool*.
gollark: Tons of institutions and people are overly focused on maintaining the status quo, but Elon at least has interesting ideas and sometimes makes them work.
gollark: Hyperloop isn't exactly very great, but at least he's actually *doing things* which are interesting and could be useful?
gollark: According to Wikipedia he's been with Tesla from a year after they started and ran it since 2008, so I feel like he deserves much of the credit for that.
gollark: It's ridiculous to complain that he doesn't know much about rocketry and stuff himself and (THE HORROR) hired competent people who do, and managed to improve the state of space travel a lot.
