You could probably apply that logic to any innovation in any industry no?
Reusable rockets likely got the same ridicule, as did fast satellite internet, self driving and fully electric vehicles.
I can understand that Musk does not have the most palatable personality, but floating ideas and at least attempting innovation regardless of outcome over a long time is a net positive for society and should not be discouraged.

In those areas, Musk successfully leveraged government largesse to compete with fat, lazy incumbents who had either coasted for decades (rockets and satellite Internet) or who didn't bother to show up to the game (EVs, self-driving and otherwise.)
That does not describe the semiconductor industry.
Musk has never beaten anybody who actually put up a fight, as far as I'm aware.

> self driving
Aren't we still waiting for that?

Intel and Microsoft are having that same problem right now when the playing field is level, they have trouble competing.
It wouldn’t be the first time an industry got bogged down by prior knowledge. Hell, it happens to all of us.
