    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.

      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?

      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?

      And just as you hand wave him credit for “many more…” so shall I hand wave to the many many 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?

      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.
