#5Real, actual workers have their livelihood endangered by out-of-touch billionaires going back and forth on serious economic policies hastily carried on made up grounds of "cutting waste" and "anti-wokeness" while keeping the lion share of the economy for themselves. This enrages me, and I can't comprehend how anyone needing a wage to live can side with them. Don't they understand that Trump, Musk and cie's interests are diametrically opposed to theirs?

NASA aren't rocket guys. They hire people like him to build rockets. They make satellites and do science. If they decide not to hire him he'll fire more people until they do.
They manage space policy so it probably still isn't a good idea to piss them off. The enemies he's making at FAA aren't a good idea, either, but he can just fire them as well.

The temporarily embarrassed millionaire is a real mind set for a lot of people. There was some truth to it, for select groups of people, throughout certain times in the US.

#10The sad news about chemotherapy is that it blows away good tissue with the bad.
Which may or may not be an admonishment to embrace cancer.
