Wow, what insightful analysis and commentary.
You call him a loser, someone whose been responsible for the development of the first truly reusable rockets, beating any other system for cost to orbit by a couple orders of magnitude. He's rolling in so much dough he could squander pretty much all of it for the rest of his life, but instead chose to do something with his money and influence.
I mean, yea, I don't personally like the guy, but what a shit take, no observation upon the how's/why's of what he's doing, just an insult.
He clearly has some kind of agenda. To just dismissively name call prevents any opportunity to discover what he's up to. I'll admit I can't figure him out. With Twitter it seems he's all about destroying the platform, which is a good thing in my mind. But SpaceX has done more than anyone else to reduce cost to orbit, material consumption, and develop more environmentally friendly fuels.
Do you really think he's just making emotional decisions? Someone who's been described as being on the autism spectrum by some folks?
What have you done again? Glass houses and all that, ya know?
Hahah, bunch of "loser" downvoters.
Do ya all realize what that says about you?
You're more interested in a comment insulting someone than trying to figure out what's going on. You're so emotionally driven, like children, you can't even think about things.
Please, what I said is accurate, regardless of how you all "feel" about him. SpaceX would not be doing what it is today, if it weren't for him.
We're truly fucked because of people like you. Bunch of jackasses in glass houses.
He's a fucking loser, and he'll never love you no matter how much you hope he notices you.
Musk isn't an Engineer. He hasn't designed anything, the extent of his responsibility for anything of value is telling other people, smarter people, to invent something. He doesn't create, he buys existing companies then parades around like he's the one that started them.
You want a shit take? Take a look at how far out of your way you went to defend him and you'll see that shit take. He hasn't used his money to improve shit. He used it to burn 20+ billion dollars on a global communications platform and turn it into a cesspit of lies and nazis.
So yeah, we'll dismiss him. Elon Musk is a fucking idiot that doesn't know when to shut the fuck up and throws a tantrum every time he's handed a loss.
lol every Musk fanboy ends up resorting to these types of comments:
Which essentially, to them, means their darling precious Space Karen is immune to any criticism from any person.
It’s such a stupid and ridiculous copout that says a lot about what they value in life.
There is no ethical way to get that amount of money. The fact that he's worth that much makes him a piece of shit.
