At some point an individual has to come to terms with the fact that 99% (or some equally large percentage) of human economic activity has nothing much to do with improving the human condition, but is rather beer and circuses writ large.
Shouldn't that say, "hero-worshiping wannabe-Elon-Musk entrepreneurship culture has to come to terms..."?
Because frankly, if someone handed me the kind of money Elon Musk has, I could work on ludicrously quixotic AwesomeCool stuff too.
No guarantees any of it would actually work or make money, of course, which is why the real business environment produces Angry Birds instead of "changing the world" (which is a lot harder than it sounds, since most changes aren't even that radical) every 6 months.
