    It is genuinely concerning the mentality round here, anything with musk must be bad and no one wants to even consider the possibility it’s not. That’s certainly not the only subject like that either, people are very clearly basing options on what suits their personal beliefs rather than what is baked up by fact.

      Well you know we get that mentality by observing what he does, listening to what he says, seeing who he keeps company with, and paying attention to the demeanor of the people under him. It’s not very complicated.

        but you don’t pay attention to the actual impacts the companies have. SpaceX gets bashed a lot which is hilarious. There is no argument that SpaceX is bad. Like what, ULA was better? Throwing boosters in the ocean and charging $500 million+ per flight? SpaceX is objectively an amazing achievement that we should all be proud of.

      Yep, waiting for all the bashing of AWS since bezo runs Amazon…the level of hate companies get that are tied to musk in anyway is insane. Musk is a mouth piece and a shit one at that but musk isn’t making these companies and doing the work, hundreds of thousands of people are.

        And yet HE gets all the money and glory for doing nothing but acting like an asshole.

        What should happen is that he be removed from all of these compenies and replaced with a competent leader…and no, Musk is NOT a competent leader.
