Your takes are hotter than a launch pad with all 33 raptors firing!

and costs taxpayers billions compared to our working models 60 years ago. Great innovation

I remember the Saturn V being caught by chopsticks in mid air too.

Starship is fantastic value for money compared to Artemis!

> telling his millions of followers that a rescue worker was a pedophile Only after the rescue worker, on live TV, said to millions that Musk could stick his submarine up his ass.

He has billions of dollars and still can’t help but stoop to pathetic immaturity.

It’s interesting the cognitive dissonance this brings out in me. As much as I think Musk carries a fairly reprehensible aura, I would still like to see SpaceX succeed. Space has a funny, transcendent way of inspiring us.

Actual, literal Nazis got us to the Moon and frankly no one cared. Not then, not now. Try separating politics from the advancement of humanity, you'll feel better.

That their object all along has been space travel?"

The men had been arrested by the Gestapo and were going to be executed. Dornberger was also threatened with arrest, but he managed to get von Braun and the other released.

It is still about space. AI and space computers are just the vehicle to fund it all.

Billions of AI capex for a model that’s consistently forgettable and space computers, presumably data centers in space, are funding SpaceX? Isn’t the opposite? SpaceX has an extremely profitable launch program and a profitable Starlink. It’s a straightforward would be better off financially without X and X.ai.

Cash: rockets fund AI

Equity: AI funds rockets

Of all the places that money parted from fools winds up, this is not the worst of them.

What's authentic/"not phony" about literally making shit up about another person? I'm genuinely confused so please explain step by step. Do you think everyone around you is just brimming with unevidenced allegations of pedophilia to fling around at strangers, and finally we have the One True Authentic™ to just bravely say the big words out loud?

Haha nothing funnier than grown adults (??) who are so infatuated with big wockets that they seem to forget basic concepts like "moral character" if there are big wockets anywhere in the vicinity. So smart.

Double Sieg Heil at a US inauguration, buying twitter to boost nazis, sabotaging his US competitors by pulling up the subsidy ladder he just finished climbing, gleefully dumpstering the peanut butter rations for the starving African kids. "Favorite" isn't the word.

… says a post from a 25min old bot account?

Snark aside, I’m curious: what about the comment you replied to is a “Reddit lie?” Pretty much everything act mentioned is well documented. Do you disagree with the assumptions made about motivations for the acts?

Good info Walter, but I wasn't trying to get too deep.

Point is to not judge a book by its cover.
