Listen, I hate that fucking South African douchebag as much as the next guy, but Space X has fucking dominated the space race. No one even comes close to them.
They turned the industry upside down, and have more launches then the rest of the world combined. In fact it’s not even close.
That you can’t separate the success of Space X from Musk, is a you problem.
Sure it sucks that he benefits from their success, but also, no one believes that Musk has anything to do with their successes either.
The repeated failures of Starship is surprising but if you can’t appreciate what a phenomenal achievement the landing of the super heavy was, then you don’t really understand the industry enough to be commenting on it.

Appreciating Space X accomplishments does not make you an Elon boi.
Half his gig is space and is he supposed to leave Space X out of his articles?
He talked about the Longmarch as well. I guess that makes him a terrible Chinese apologist.

His tone for Space X failures does not match the tone he uses for <insert company name> failures.
His tone for Space X accomplishments does not match the tone for <insert company name> accomplishments.
Its a clear bias, and its sad that he has been able to dedicate so much time doing this without people realizing it.

He’s certainly a SpaceX fan, which I think is a lot more defensible than being a Musk fan
