    Spacex is tough… Musk can choke on a bag of dicks but spacex is doing some cool stuff that I’m excited about, but I’ve always been a space and rocket nerd.

      See that’s my problem with all this. SpaceX and Tesla aren’t successful because of Elon Musk. they are successful in spite of Elon Musk.

      Elon Musk just puts money in big things. Elon Musk only cares about Elon Musk. Not even money. Elon Musk cares more about Elon Musk than money.

      First competitor to Public sector contracts for space flight? Elon Musk can see Elon Musks name on it. First mass produced electric car on the road and in garages? Elon Musk gets to see Elon Musk associated with it. Twitter? Elon Musk gets to be famous even more for tanking a $44b social media company with little to no effort.

        I disagree. Elon put a lot of effort into tanking Twitter. All he had to do to keep it from tanking (as bad as it did) was make no effort.
