Otherwise this company appears to have been run by chimps.

I just saw a video from a few months ago of a bunch of edit clips from Milton’s presentation at one of those showcase events. I think most of it was meant to poke fun of his gaffes, but I can chalk those up to nerves. And beside I just saw the Microsoft Windows 1995 presentation/celebration video going around, and it’s clear that Gates, Ballmer, etc. didn’t build a revolutionary company because they were charismatic speakers and salesman (at least 25 years ago).

But the thing that stood out to me, when highlight his hydrogen technologies, was that he called hydrogen “the most abundant element in the atmosphere.” It doesn’t take a atmospheric science or chemistry major to know that this is not even close to true (it is the most abundant element in the universe though, but that’s a major distinction unless he’s tapping into the universe’s potential), and that’s not a gaffe that someone selling hydrogen technology should make.
