Not an AI company? You don’t have to keep selling me on SPCX, I’m a buyer now.

Careful. I don’t have anti-Musk bias, but it can both be true that SpaceX will be quite successful in the long run and the stock is still overpriced in the short run.

How is Reid Hoffman relevant? Someone like Elon being asked for their opinion on tech - I kind of understand - was at least at the coal face of SpaceX and Tesla for a time, seemed to understand the tech and was not terrible when it came to direction. Zuck I'd get, Bezos, Dario, Sam - but I don't actually get why Reid is always in the conversation - he's never been in front of anything

How is he less relevant than Elon Musk?

He co-founded linkedin a platform every one knows.

Elon Musk invented the Cybertruck and has a weird cult following through Tesla.

i mean Elon Musk called some of his kids this:

X Æ A-Xii Musk, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk and Techno Mechanicus Musk

What opinion should i give more value?

Reid Hoffman hates Musk. Think what you will of Musk (we all have our opinions), but Hoffman criticizing one of Musks companies is the equivalent of Steve Jobs criticizing Windows. Its a personal quibble and therefore not really news worthy.

That's like saying nobody should have listened to MLK criticising segregation because he hated the KKK.

If you want to know why you shouldn't choose Windows it makes sense to get Steve Jobs' opinion and then evaluate the opinion.

There sure are a lot of people attacking the messenger here. This seems fairly par for anyone criticizing one of musks properties.

I'm not interested in people's take on SpaceX this early after their IPO, they have an ambitious vision and Elon Musk gets a lot of blind hatred. You don't invest into SpaceX to see returns in a month, you're in it for the next five or more years or you're better off finding a different stock to invest in. To date SpaceX is the top leader in getting things into space for the lowest cost, everyone else pales in comparison.

He still can be right.

But yeah its clear that xAI is a trainwreck and Space-X is weird cult hype.

It would only be like that if MLK was trying to become the lead white supremacist.

I think that’s a pretty inappropriate comparison and you should withdraw it. Please edit your post?
