Not sure. I think we should increase the sample size to include Boring Company and Hyperloop.



You think those failed because of corporate culture and not market fit?


You think SpaceX and Tesla succeeded because of corporate culture and not market fit?


Clearly.

Legacy car brands had electric cars (Toyota, BMW definitely). Boeing could have created landing rockets. Market wanted those products from anyone.

Why didn't they? Because they're dinosaurs, asleep at the wheel. Bad corporate culture.


While I do rather think that tesla and spacex has an unhealthy work cultural based on the limited things I read about it, these two ideas are just ridiculously dump to the point where a 3 years old wouldn’t have come up with “cars in a tunnel”.. they are ridiculous.
