    It is so weird that the article repeatedly acknowledges that this isn’t really unique and other companies and researchers are doing the same, but they’re only covering this one because it relates to Musk. What is it about Musk that makes every little thing he does “newsworthy”?

      Richest man in the world. It’s like why was Windows so big when Linux was right there? Or why does Xbox get a push despite being inferior in every metric to Playstation?

      Probably because musk killed a bunch of monkeys in the process of creating it.
