Comment on NASA finally admits what everyone already knows: SLS is unaffordable
linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 year agoNah, I hate musk as much as the rest of them. SpaceX is the only company he has that’s worth a damn. I was really kind of happy when he started screwing with Twitter because he has less time to screw up SpaceX.
Now, that said, SpaceX needs competition. I will take us for musk to have one bad trip hop in there and start screwing that company over. If NASA is fully dependent on them…
SpaceX isn’t doing anything another company can’t do. It’s just that Boeing owns our f****** government.

So Tesla and starlink don’t count?

Starlink is horrible on many fronts. Just the amount of trash they’ve thrown into low orbit is crap. Short-term disposable satellites are not great. Now he’s taking and giving access based on his own political wants.
Tesla’s a pretty mixed bag. Privacy issues, quality issues, resell issues, repair issues, self-driving car failures. All the other stuff they do really well everybody else also does well.
All this stuff started off really strong when he started going batshit crazy things started getting less attractive

Tesla is publicly traded and as far as I can tell Starlink is not a company but rather a SpaceX project.
