1 year agoI remember reading about how Kodak tried to block digital cameras (even its own) so as not to compromise their own film business, only to be caught unprepared later on when the digital camera revolution came anyway and then took massive losses.
It’s funny how they build the first.
Au contraire, I think more rich people should take risks like this. It shows how macho and ahead of the curve and disruptive they are. All those other rich people that aren’t willing to get into an experimental vehicle with risk of catastrophic failure and even death are just crybaby namby pamby cucks who aren’t living their best lives!
Just
buyride it! If you were on your deathbead, and you looked back, wouldn’t you regret not having tried it while you still could’ve?/S
