I've always wondered about why medical science tends away from 'mechanical' solutions - i.e. physically damaging tumors/other problems in lieu of deep & detailed understanding of the biological process and attempting to interrupt that. Feels to me like pure science over problem solving - but that's my bias as an engineer.

There is way more technology and raw science out there that can revolutionise capital intensive industries but established industry prefers incremental change.

Musk isn't so much important to developing science & technology but he brings an ability to operationalise science and technology into real world applications in a way that traditional corporate innovation just can't do.
