Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight

  You do not hate the guy’s guts as much as anybody else, or as much as is reasonable. You do not in fact have to give it to the Nazi scum. Any success or credit is due to the employees of the companies the inept pathetic narcissistic pro-fascism scumfuck is undeservedly running, often on fire and into the ground. If the resources he’s hoarding would be allocated by a reasonable, competent and humanist entity, we would all be much better off. Musk would be better off the planet. Shame that he missed this flight.

    Many miss that Musk’s companies don’t have any measure of succeed because of him, but they have it despite him. A lot of intelligent people work for SpaceX and Tesla. Imagine what they could and would do if they didn’t have a petulant man-baby constantly interfering.

    Definitely this is the same take as “well the Nazis did a bunch of medical research”

  He’s just there to steal credit. Just like everything he’s been a part of.

  What space race?

  NASA us working on a shoestring budget and managed to run some very successful missions. The Artemis Program is/was very succesful, and what does NASA get?

  Budget cuts. Money diverted to SpaceX who, under Elon, has yet to do a single succesful mission (the Dragon capsule and reusable rockets were both projects that Elon bought. Starship is the first project that Elon directed).

    Are you out of your mind? SpaceX didn’t buy a single thing, they developed and tested existing ideas (the reusability at least). I mean the guy is a total douche and Nazi but why spread these lies about SpaceX?

    This forum seems like Reddit sometimes but on the other end of the political spectrum

      The US should not rely on private companies for stuff. It’s just insane to think it has come to America begging a person for global internet and to get into Space.

    He didn’t invent EVs, nor batteries, nor rockets, not even vertically landing rockets, but perfected and especially turned them onto massive success. Too bad he went full idiot.

      Perfected

      Press X to doubt

      Making something popular via a lot of lying and false marketing is not something I would’ve thought to read as perfected.
