    I hate the guy’s guts as much as anybody else, but he has kickstarted a space race, and an EV market. Credit where it’s due.

    And yeah I know, rich daddy, no inventions, all evolutionary, etc. But here we are.

      You do not hate the guy’s guts as much as anybody else, or as much as is reasonable. You do not in fact have to give it to the Nazi scum. Any success or credit is due to the employees of the companies the inept pathetic narcissistic pro-fascism scumfuck is undeservedly running, often on fire and into the ground. If the resources he’s hoarding would be allocated by a reasonable, competent and humanist entity, we would all be much better off. Musk would be better off the planet. Shame that he missed this flight.

        Many miss that Musk’s companies don’t have any measure of success because of him, but instead have it despite him. A lot of intelligent people work for SpaceX and Tesla. Imagine what they could and would do if they didn’t have a petulant man-baby constantly interfering.

        He didn’t invent EVs, nor batteries, nor rockets, not even vertically landing rockets, but perfected and especially turned them onto massive success. Too bad he went full idiot.

          Perfected

          Press X to doubt

          Making something popular via a lot of lying and false marketing is not something I would’ve thought to read as perfected.
