Well its Elon Musk bullshit, not really useful content. The guy is neither scientist nor inventor, so nothing he says here even has grounds to be correct, never mind believable.
Didn’t those things happen? But surely my Tesla will drive itself across the country at the push of a button right? And if not, I can use a special tunnel, or a vaccuum train to get around, right?
Well, at least the solar roofs are helping safe the world with their amazing production. And soon well have have human robots!
How about launching rockets privately at a fraction of a cost from what the states were launching?
Thank TRW and maybe Tom Mueller. As someone with family that worked on Apollo, space shuttle etc. TRW is the reason any of that shit is happening.
How about affordable EVs?
How about them? They don’t exist at elons co. Tesla cancelled the affordable model outright leaving their cheapest model at 40k. HOWEVER, they are slowly rolling out a truck that rusts in the rain yet starts at 80k and can run OVER 6 FIGURES so give them credit for…that?
And just as you hand wave him credit for “many more…” so shall I hand wave to the manymany shitty business practices that Elon brings to the table all while you give him credit for other people’s work.
So why should I celebrate someone who really inherited their wealth and primarily uses it to plunder other people’s work? Why should I congratulate someone who called a real hero a pedophile for some reason and then claimed it was just a joke bro.
But I guess why not support him? What could possibly happen by propping up a moronic man-baby who then uses his ill gotten gains plus a majority stake from Saudi Arabia to take over the organizing tool of the Arab spring and prop up hate speech?
Amongst the sea of businessmen to pledge fan service to, I’d rather support one who may be less famous, less wealthy… but ultimately far more honest, competent, and WAY LESS OF A MORONIC RACIST ASSHOLE.
Uh… the starship did go to space a couple weeks ago, you don’t have to believe that, but it did happen.
Elon aside (cause the guy is clearly not all there at the moment), space-x is still doing amazing things. As far as I’m concerned this is the most positive thing happening on the planet at the moment. I expect reusable rockets are going to bring more benefit to human society over the next few centuries than fusion power, quantum computing, AI, or any other “future technology”.
Edit: I take it back, if we can ever achieve efficient and economical production of long carbon nanotubes / graphene, that would probably be a bigger deal. Also metallic hydrogen, or room temp superconductors, that would also be pretty huge. But reusable rockets are still vitally important.
There’s a huge difference being the money being a very inventive space company and presenting yourself like you actually have any clue at all about space - which Melon Husk clearly has not, and if he had more of a hand in SpaceX they’d be probably bir nearly as far as they are now.

Wait, but I thought he sent a Dragon capsule to mars by 2018? Or two Starships by 2022. Or passenger rockets between London and New York

Or were those things also not true?
How about launching rockets privately at a fraction of a cost from what the states were launching?
How about affordable EVs? And proving to automakers that EVs can sell so now everybody’s doing it?
And many more…
But yeah, it’s easier to pick and choose just to be on the trend.

Maybe they had to cancel the cheap model because according to investors elon himself is poisoning the brand? Or maybe it’s cause under his management the build quality has gone to shit?
Maybe just the racism, or sexism, or harassment his workers constantly suffer?
So elon gets credit for what? And why? …because he sued Tesla to force them into calling him a founder even though he just bought his way in?

Well just today… Elon Musk Claims ‘Limited Understanding’ Of Why He’s Being Sued After Tweets Forced A Family To Flee Their Home
Amongst the sea of businessmen to pledge fan service to, I’d rather support one who may be less famous, less wealthy… but ultimately far more honest, competent, and WAY LESS OF A MORONIC RACIST ASSHOLE.
He’s done none of those things. He’s just posted the money.

They guy that owns to most impressive groundbreaking rocket company talks about rockets and space has no place in a community about space.
Okay cool.
There’s a huge difference being the money being a very inventive space company and presenting yourself like you actually have any clue at all about space - which Melon Husk clearly has not, and if he had more of a hand in SpaceX they’d be probably bir nearly as far as they are now.
He’s got a degree in physics and whenever you see him answer off the cuff questions about spacex he obviously has knowledge.
I think you’re largely talking out of arse because you don’t like Musk.
Letting space guy talk about space seems very reasonable at first glance, but the problem is that he’s a tremendous idiot.
I own a car. Doesn’t mean I know fuck all about making one, or doing anything of value toward humanity with it.
Elon owning toys you like doesn’t make him anything but a guy who owns shit for a living.
