> Then he went on to create a rocket company that broke barriers of space travel no one has been able to do. Look closer into how the sausage is made. For example the Moon grant for SpaceX to the tune of about $3bln was awarded by a person who wrote it in first person singular and after she did it, she promptly quit and went to work for SpaceX. Musk is definitely successful, but a grifter not a businessman. > [...] man produced a highly successful car company Musk is claiming to posess and even selling non-existent technology to both investors and consumers (pre-orders never fullfilled) for almost a decade now. Other people (Theranos, Nikola) who tried to replicate his success in this field but didn't have pants padded with hundred bln$ are curretly serving very long prison sentences for investor fraud. While Musk got off on the grounds that what he says is widely known to be pure puffery and no-one of sound mind should expect what he says to be accurate. Funny how billions "in the bank" can change how justice percieves you. Musk is now basically so full of hot air that when he stumbles he falls up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As the British would say the proof is in the pudding. I do know we didn’t have self-landing rockets nor a massive reduced cost of space cargo until SpaceX. Whether Musk hired the author of a Moon grant is irrelevant to that fact. Same with Tesla. We had multiple, massively funded car companies try and fail to mass produce an electric car consumers wanted Whether Musk overpromises FSD isn’t relevant to that accomplishment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
