I was watching Real Time on HBO and it's very apparent that Neil Degrasse Tyson really hates Elon Musk. He was shitting on Elon's obsession with going to Mars. I didn't knoe he hated Elon.

Which of the two are more important or consequential to humanity
 
Elon actually does things to try and solve humanity's problems.

Tyson is good at dumbing down complex things and explaining them to the average Joe.

I think you'll find far more people that can do what Tyson does than can do what Elon does.

There are lots of brilliant astrophysicists. Elon is unique and advancing engineering beyond what Neil advances astrophysics imo while impacting humanity greatly.
 
Its easier to add up Elon's score but ole Neil Degrassi has helped to make science seem cool and interesting to lots of American youth, that may pay huge dividends in the future, maybe even influence the next Elon and that aint nothing
 
One thing I do respect is Elons ambition. He is not afraid to take risks with his money, unlike most billionaires who sit on their cash like scrooge mcduck.

I don't agree with Mars however. I believe we can still do plenty here on Earth, but again, I understand his drive to get there. It's a legacy thing and he knows that if he pulls it off, he would be known as one of the greatest people in human history.
 
The people who worship Elon really worry me.

That said, he has definitely made more of an impact than NDT.

Also said, it is a weird comparison to make. Richest man in the world with near endless resources vs a single astrophycist who is good at explaining difficult thins.

Neither. Both could be brutally beaten to death and I wouldn't care much.
 
Omg.. are we comparing a tv personality vs an actual doer? Neil should never be spoken to the same way Elon is.

Elon is closer to god than Neil is closer to you.

Is this a joke? Everyone knows who Musk is. Neil de Grasse is unknown to anyone who spends his days watching trending youtube shit
 
I like both but Elon is doing far more. Tyson is basically just a science entertainer at this point.
 
I would go with the one actually in the presidential entourage.
 
Both cans.

Neil is is so close minded that he is blind to the fact UFOs and NHI are real.

Elon is trying to innovate spacefaring with dead-end technology and he probably doesn’t even know we already have people in mars.
