Most YC hackers:
"I'm fixing x because x is broken. They're slow, costly, inefficient, and aren't taking advantage of modern technology."
Elon Musk is doing a YC startup (in spirit) on the most grand scale possible.

(Moment's pause to remember and respect the Challenger and Columbia Astronauts, and the Russian Cosmonauts who also gave their life.)
As I think about it though, I think of the few brave people I know who would be willing to take a one-way trip to Mars, as long as they were starting a colony.
YC hackers are like Z.
SpaceX is like Z.
Therefore SpaceX is YC hackers (in spirit).
