Ten years from now, someone will start a billion dollar company in their rover garage on Mars because of Elon Musk.

So you mean in the United States or some other developed country? Ok. I know you already understood what I was saying. I’m not going to argue.

The guy who made Flappy Bird lived in Vietnam. Sure, he's not Elon Musk, but apparently a single day of Flappy Bird ad revenue was enough to earn that $28K.

It's a shame he let everyone's negativity and tall poppy syndrome talk him into killing the app, instead of riding out the wave all the way. He made something that made a lot of people happy all over the world.

Yeah, sure. We’re talking about Elon Musk though... And whether it’s fine to say “you go do what Elon did.” It’s more realistic to say “you go do what the flappy bird guy did”. You fanboys are hilarious.

There's also someone buying a lottery ticket that will make them rich soon, so what? Both take a huge amount of luck and are extremely unlikely.
