I can empathise with your frustration. I’ve been in a similar situation with trying to make people interested in creating a reputation income economy, but nobody really seems to be sufficiently passionate about that to generate some serious action towards that goal. It’s a typical problem for futurist projects. And that problem is one of the reasons why I’ve started the Fractal Future. From the most cynical point of view, you could see it as “futurist project leader self-help group”. 
Reaching out to people in a way that actually inspires them to become active is hard, very hard. I haven’t found the right recipe for doing that. In any case, it seems to require a mind-boggling amount of sustained effort and lots and lots of skills in many different areas. At the very least, you need to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. The problem with that is that most start-ups fail. So, you need to keep failing and failing, until you finally find something that actually works. There doesn’t seem to be any reliable shortcut to that.
But anyway, I think it’s good that at least Elon Musk has had quite the success with his SpaceX company. He’s a big innovator in that field (although he’s using ideas that have been out there for decades – implementing them was the really hard part). Have you tried contacting him?
