I am convinced HN is the Pinterest of software.

Someone made a coffee table out of old crates? Pin. Someone made a fence out of old wood pallets? Pin.

Someone made a realtime messaging library out of animated gifs? Upvote.

Jobs was never a cool guy in my book. For me, Steve Jobs was an egocentric and self-centered. Elon is a visionary, just read this quote:

“I came to the conclusion that we should aspire to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness in order to better understand what questions to ask. Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.”

Steve isn't even near to the impact of what Elon will have on humanity.
