is there nothing that is online that I can see that shows the man's actual work?
Stop trying to get other people to do your own reseach.
its not a hard question. and if the answer is no, then that's fine, but I'd like to see some actual examples of his work. you can tell a lot by how a person approaches a problem and what style of implementation they take.
Then I suggest you contact Musk's PR firm and set up an interview so you can ask him yourself. I think if you read the book I suggested, you would learn an awful lot about how Musk approaches a problem and his style of implementation.
why are you talking sales and money? I make it quite clear that I don't judge a person by how much or little they make. for me, its not about how much money he can make for himself or his investors or even his employees.
is this an intentional attempt to change the subject?
I guess you're clearly not understanding or being intentionally obtuse. He designed and coded Zip2, which is much more than a "database join" as you dismissively describe. There obviously was significant technical innovations in the software (yes, there were despite your opinion) to cause Compaq to buy it for $307m and merge it into AltaVista. "Sales and money" is how technological innovations are measured in this society. Zip2 was doing what nobody else was even thinking of at the time. Musk was also able to black label Zip2 platform for many major newspapers including NYT. At the time, nobody was thinking of a hyper-local online searchable business directory with maps and directions. Musk built that. Himself.
and no, I'm not buying a book just to get that answer. in the online world we live in, you should not have to 'buy a book' to get some simple info like this
And now you're just trolling us and wasting our time. There are non-DTB ways to consume the same content.
And yes, sometimes you do have to 'buy a book' to pay people to do the research you want to get for free.
Here, I've added some red circles in case you can't figure it out yourself:
Also, at just 12 years old, Musk coded and published a space fighting game called “Blastar” which later sold for $500 to trade publication PC and Office Technology magazine.
He also is the chief architect for SpaceX. Maybe other people wrote the actual code, but he is the mastermind behind the entire company and probably understands space flight better than anyone else on the planet. But I guess since I can't show you actual design documents in his handwriting (surely they are not public), that doesn't count.
Goodbye.
