News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

If the latter situation ever occurred, I would hope someone like Elon Musk would startup a new open source network to challenge them.

Maybe someone should start an Elon Musk Hacker News drinking game. Every time he comes up in a topic you drink a shot, if the topic has nothing to do with him or is ventures you drink two shots.

As far as that "idea":

- An "open source network" makes no sense at all. Open source, what? Open source customer's billing information? The Linux OS that drives most networks already?

- Elon Musk could have already done so in the US or Canada given how horrible the networks are in either country. He hasn't.

- Elon Musk doesn't work in communications currently.

- Elon Musk isn't like the joker of the deck that you can just use to solve any issue or play any hand.

I propose something like an Uber for telecom networks.

Or even better, wait for it:

An Uber for Elon Musk.

Where do I collect my funding?
