capitalism truly spurs competition and innovation
Elon is such a bitch
Competition for thee but not for me.
Must be trying to hide fraud and waste. Better set up a commission to investigate them and start firing spacex execs.
> FAA prevents SpaceX from launching more rockets
> Musk guts the FAA
> FAA no longer stopping rockets
> Musk decries nobody will stop other people’s rockets
SpaceX biggest competitor is NASA/JPL Musk guts NASA
->Musk’s team launches the most expensive firework ever blowing up and disrupting air traffic and destroying the environment again for the eighth time
Felon Musk
Let Apple rain Terror on this damn Nazi.
It certainly is a weird timeline when Apple is the good guy.
Wasn’t Tim Cook one of the first to donate to Trump’s Inauguration? Did they at least protest DEI scrapping (excluding some shareholders) or Gulf of Mexico rename, or bent over like rest of big tech? I’m honestly not seeing it, to me Apple is as bad as google
Yes. Tim Apple gave the $1M bribe to Orange Donald.
Tim Cook
Never heard of him. Do you mean Tim Apple?
Reminds me of March 24 to November 10, 2001, when Apple had embraced Unix and – to some extent – open source by releasing OS X, but had not yet pivoted towards glued-shut and DRM’d consumer electronics by releasing the iPod.
Wasn’t that because they desperately needed a new OS and just acquired Steve Jobs’ company NeXT who had an OS called NeXTSTEP which was based on Mach kernel and BSD. They didn’t embrace Unix and open sourcing out of goodwill.
I can think of a lot of companies that are far worse than Apple.

If you really hate Elon Musk, I have two words for you. “Thanks Obama”
Every single aspect of Elon’s “success” has been heavily subsidized or paid for by the US government (aka, tax payers).
EDIT: It seems the “Thanks Obama” meme has fallen into obscurity. It is an older joke in which everything was blamed on Obama, no matter how far fetched. I even used italics.
The point of my comment is that Elon is the biggest “welfare” beneficiary in history. All of his businesses would be a financial failure without billions of dollars in grants, benefits and contracts from the government, and that he’s been sucking on that government teet since Obama was in office. In fact, it was Obama who saved Tesla, hence the 'Thanks Obama" joke. Even Obama is aware and why the crashing Teslas scene is in the Netflix movie he produced. Now Elon is looking for federal assistance to block his competition.
We know the “joke.” But that wasn’t what you were doing. You are actually literally blaming Obama.
Sure. That’s why I put it in quotes AND italics. Let’s also ignore the context that Elon is once again begging the federal government to save his ass.
The joke didn’t land. I’ll take that L.
Well maybe you don’t get the joke then… It’s meant to be sarcastic. So when you’re actually earnestly blaming Obama for something, it doesn’t read as a joke anymore.
If I was earnestly blaming Obama, I wouldn’t have purposely phrased it and typed it the way I did.
I was too subtle and it didn’t land. It happens.
What is this L take my guy?
Elon was loved by every forward facing democratic liberalism / é o-conscious person for years.
You cannot read people’s hearts or minds except from how they act.
And I did not see any favist/overreaching actions, even the actual delusion of grandeur, when Obama was president.
On the contrary.
And if I remember correctly Obama told him off in multiple instances.
Did everyone really forget about the “Thanks Obama” joke? Anyway, I clarified my point in the edit.
Obama did not make Elon a narcissist cry baby now did he?
Everybody is to blame but the gang of assholes that swarmed them.
If a crook steals a watch, you gonna jail the crook or jail the guy who makes timex?

This very much ignores that there are tangible benefits from the successes of SpaceX’s engineers and scientists.
Also, who’s this Elon guy? He sounds like a twat.
Everything SpaceX is doing and has done could have been done by NASA had NASA been given the equivalent funds and leeway. This has been covered multiple times in many interviews of NASA scientists and engineers. Simply put, NASA cannot afford and is not allowed to take risks. They are not allowed to blow up ships over Florida and the Caribbean until they figure it out. They used to be allowed, but not anymore.
I don’t disagree with that
Probably done better since there is no profit motive.
