Well if you want to attempt something big without having to work with company's like Google then Elon Musk made an interesting offer today.

Musk is offering $100 million to the team providing the best carbon capture technology.

Judged by the person who thinks putting cars in tunnels is the solution to urban transit? No thanks. Your average third grader is a more qualified engineer than Elon Musk.


He does better rockets than most third graders.


Elon Musk is not an engineer. He hasn't built a thing is his entire life. His biggest accomplishment is hitching a ride on the success of Paypal before getting fired for trying to move their infrastructure to Windows (lol).

My niece, on the other hand, just built a pretty cool rocket out of a soda bottle!

If SpaceX is less comically incompetent than Tesla, I'd wager it's because Elon Musk hasn't been paying as much attention to it.
