Usable as commercial products? What product does the boring company have? They've asserted things will be cheaper, but haven't sold a ticket.

So far the boring company is a money pit. It remains to be seen if they can accomplish anything you suggest they have. For now they're still just a marketing engine.

It only started last year.

The ventures that he takes on take normal companies a decade(s) to become commercially viable.

If he doesn't instantly have full products out, he has failed? Why the heck would you expect that??

Wow, what?

I'm not saying he's failed. I'm saying he hasn't succeeded yet.
