Was the Segway guy as shitty as musk?
The cliff thought as much. Why else would it yeet him like that?!
(Doesn't sound like he was because he also held patents for an insulin pump & a wheelchair that could climb stairs so his mind was definitely working towards solving real world problems & not just reinventing public transport)
the guy who invented the segway is still alive. The guy who bought his company later drove off a cliff, though it is suspected he had a heart attack while driving
See I suspect he had the heart attack while falling off the cliff.
Musk shittiness is a high bar.
