Or the media will pick up and hype pretty much any juicy-looking story.

If I look back through your comment history will I find you suggesting Musk and the media were involved in a conspiracy to sabotage Boeing (which doesn't generally advertise on radio/TV) during the 787 issue?

Or are you, like much of HN, having issues with this specific situation because it involves someone HN practically worships as a god?

Boeing doesn't advertise because it doesn't sell to consumers. It sells to airlines.

I don't "worship" Musk. But I am cognizant of the fact that he is one of a kind. Do you know of anyone else who simultaneously runs two equally ambitious tech companies, and, against all odds, does it successfully?

Dean Kamen: DEKA and FIRST Robotics [0]

Ignoring the non medical DEKA products (Segway) I think DEKA and FIRST (particularly FIRST) should have much more PR. Maybe you could argue ambition, but I still feel like mentioning these two organizations.
