Another thing is musk gives a reason for why he pumps out babies like rabbits and his reasoning is pretty cold. He's a big believer in the world being in danger of bring extremely under populated which may be true but that's his whole reason for having so many kids. Plus I think rich people literally have big families because they can afford it and hope one of their kids does something that'll reflect well on their "legacy". I gotta say with musk though I don't see him as a particularly dumb or evil person. I think he's extremely smart when it comes to renewable energy, rocketry, Evs in particular,  popularizing EVs , advancing self driving technology, advances battery tech etc etc. I think he's made real contributions to extremely important areas of technology and science that he should get credit for,from liberals that hate him because of his political stances. He can both have contributed alot AND do things that we strongly disagree with. The 2 are not mutually exclusive.

I just think he's an idiot when it comes to social media and politics to a large extent. I also think he fell into a true cliche of someone getting rich and then turning super conservative because conservatism is quite literally the best friend of any billionaire. I think because of that he's convinced himself that all his political positions are genius partly because especially people on the right overwhelmingly agree with him. And I feel like he's no different then a conservative uncle who watches very specific news sources and sees the most extreme examples of say the worst areas of San Francisco and pretends and believes that because there's bad areas in SF that the entirety of the area is just a giant shithole.

No mistake made some of it is but then it gets into the rhetoric of all of California is a sshitholeand Texas is a utopia. Of course people in this cam convirntlt skip over why taxes are so high in part which are things like medical or calfresh which helps people struggling immensely. One of my best friends would've been homeless and probably dead if he didn't have those. He had no medical care before medical and he has HIV so it's not really hyperbole to say those programs saved his life and make it so he and his family wasn't homeless and went hungry. The rich like Rogan and musk are so far removed from that reality they just see it as handouts for deadbeats and its not even close to that.

I think electronic vehicles are actually worse on the environment, because of toxic waste produced in the manufacturing process, or something like that.

Musk has Aspergers, so it makes sense that he doesn't do well socially. Also, he was born rich.

Anyway... There are many billionaires that I dislike far more than Musk... He can be kind of obnoxious, but I don't think he's particularly sinister.

Elons big rocket blew up again. Idk how many times you get away with blowing up the worlds largest rocket before investors start whispering

Spacex called it an unscheduled vehicle disassembly

There is a lot not to admire about Musk, but his approach to failure is admirable af.

Unscheduled vehicle disassembly is a common joke in rocketry. SpaceX has put more stuff in space than any other entity over the last few years, I don't think a few failures are going to make investors get to scared. Especially not when you consider that the rocket in question wasn't carrying a payload that needed to reach a destination.

I think SpaceX has put more shit into space than any other entity period. I mean... How many satellites are there in Starlink?

The only real way to compare it would be by mass. I highly doubt they have equaled the US or even Russia given the fact that those space programs have existed for 70 years. Consider that the space station is larger than a football field and weighs hundreds of tons.

SpaceX also largely exists because the US government is slowly privatizing NASA.

You could compare it in different ways. Mass... Number of separate objects launched into space...

SpaceX created the first re-useable rocket, so I think that has given them an edge over NASA, and other organizations... But idk... I could be wrong.

I agree. Government agencies such as NASA need to be able to do research with no profitable expectations. Public funded breakthroughs can then be picked up by the corporations that can invest in making that breakthrough into an efficient and profitable product (jobs, objects/services, growth, etc.)

That's not a reusable rocket, that's a reusable shuttle attached to a one time use rocket. Soviets were closer to reusable rocket.
