I would much rather be an investor in whats app than spacex. It may be decades before spacex develops anything beyond the prototype level, whereas whats app can quickly scale and become the next Facebook or Google with a few years.

Whatsapp got bought by Facebook, they will definitely not become the next Facebook and I sincerely doubt they'll ever become the next google. Try as I might, living without Google is hard, living without Facebook is stupidly easy.
