What's to get? Yes, if Hyperloop ever does get built, it won't be because Musk conjured it out of thin air with the sheer force of his genius-will. I don't believe in the Great Man Theory[0] and neither do most serious scholars. Humanity moves forward through the combined contribution of millions of mostly-unsung workers.
Also, I just think it's a bit creepy how many people on here wish Elon Musk was their daddy.
It's unfortunate that you try to tear other people's work down with negative commentary, and you should consider being more constructive about changing the world. In fact, other than the negative language you use, you have almost precisely described cause-and-effect.
Yes, if HyperLoop ever does get built, it will be a direct effect of Musk conjuring it out of thin air with the sheer force of his genius-will. Although you use derisive, negative, and quite unconstructive language.
You can use this language to dismiss anything. Go get a fork from your kitchen, put it on your table, and then move it so it falls to the ground. Why did it fall to the ground? It fell to the ground due to - in negative, dismissive terms, "humanity's almost preternatural ability to manipulate the environment in a way that transcends the abilities of plants and microorganism as shown through the genius-will of 'ForHackernews'". This description is correct except for the negative and unconstructive language.
The "Great Man theory" should probably now be called the "great person theory" as it is quite sexist, but other than that it is largely correct.
you don't want to make any positive impact on the world, then don't. but don't pull down those who do. I hope you will be more constructive in the future. good luck with everything you do that is in that direction.
