Without commenting on the others, the Wikipedia article for Neuralink seems to say it’s taken a ton of funding but failed to make any big improvements in the science or technology, and without even reaching initial human trials. The Boring Company built “a single-lane underground roadway less than a mile long, driven by conventional Tesla automobiles, constructed at a total cost of $48 million” (see the Wikipedia article for it).

I don’t see how either of those can be considered winning the lottery, to use your phrase.

Neuralink is trying something that amazingly difficult and many medical companies, specially those working in something as complex as operating on the human brain are not expected to launch a product within a year or two.

> The Boring Company

The Boring company if sold today would likely make more money then most lottery winners get.

Maybe, but who is in the market for a parking lot?

Ok he only won the lottery four times in a row then. The chances of doing that is utterly minuscule.

Thanks for your contributions btw. I don't like Musk, but suggesting he is talentless or just lucky is asinine Reddit-level commenting and it's good to see it called out.
