    He is a UT fan, and I think UT people are weird. Our neighborhood has definitely seen an increase in Ukraine flags, BLM signs, in this house we believe yard signs, etc and I wouldn't classify them as right-wing assholes.

    I mean are you serious? Is this some big gotcha?

    “ooooh you can’t explain why a guy involved with running companies that changed personal finance for the individual giving them significant personal control over peer to peer interactions, made electric cars cool and built a network of charging stations across the country, and built reusable rockets that vastly reduced the cost of space missions (cargo, commercial primarily) was revolutionary”

    again, I don’t like Elon. But some of y’all are just so lazy when it comes to this shit. Like he’s a douche, FOR SURE, but evil? You wake up every day hoping he’s dead? Come on…it’s lazy.

    He's never been the brains behind anything. He didn't found PayPal and had little to do with the company. He bought his way to ownership of Tesla. Electric cars have been around before him and he received massive government subsidies to help keep the company afloat. Gmafb on giving him credit for space flight or building tunnels that don't work.

    Elon was the first investor in Tesla, threw a tantrum a 2008 article didnt include him as a founder, staged a coup to kick out the orginal founder / ceo, got sued by that guy, intensely ramped up the toxicity of the company..

    Some top-tier bootlicking going on in here. Musk isnt bezos or zuck, but hes fucking awful Machavellian backstabber. Good for shareholders who put cash above everything though.

    Elon is all of those things others have said, Paddy Murphy, but his most insufferable trait is his cringe fucking sense of humor. It's not even a good version of a 13-year-old boy's sense of humor.

    LIke $23B in government funding and counting over the course of 10+ years for NASA SLS and it hasn't even launched. Hopefully, it goes flawlessly in the next few months at a cost of $4.1B per launch going forward. We need Space X to succeed.


    Even if NASA was allowed to make changes to the SLS and Artemis programs going forward, that doesn’t change the nature of the SLS: it’s an expendable rocket. That $4.1 billion gets you a single launch, after which the used rocket is discarded in the ocean. SpaceX has famously brought down launch costs with the Falcon 9 by making the first stage reusable. The company’s upcoming Starship could give SLS a run for its money, too. NASA has chosen Starship for use in Artemis but only as a descent vehicle to reach the lunar surface. You have to wonder, though, if Starship could do it all for a fraction of cost.

    giving elon credit for PayPal is wild. his money transfer service sucked which is why they went with thiel's when they merged, and a big part of why he was removed and thiel made CEO.

    musk was just the largest shareholder.

    I get this is your schtick and you have to keep up appearances, so let’s remove Elon Musk from the equation.

    Somebody invented the technology to return rockets from space when previously, when we went to the moon for example, we had to ditch those rockets into the ocean and build an entirely new one for the next trip. Like do you not feel even a little silly making your point?

    I’ll give him a break if he manages to build a solar farm and energy storage facility that powers the entire country and then hands it over to the feds and also doesn’t do it in Texas.

    I hate Elon as much as everyone but that’s not accurate. They’ve made space x trips to the space station

    With the amount of government subsidies he’s gotten almost anyone who is smart could’ve done equally as well with space x. Elon is just the face of it he doesn’t actually do anything

    Definitely not true and it's not a big deal to lose Space X rockets now vs. later when flights are manned. When NASA runs into failure/complications, they delay and push back everything, costing taxpayers billions and have to answer to congress.

    Offloading the risk to Space X has helped grow our space tech at incredible speed.

    I love that Musk is a big time boot straps guy who loves to talk about how he made himself. Forgetting the insane amounts of subsidies he receives from the government, and having a father who owned a diamond mine in Africa.
