One can only hope...

Beside my burning desire to see Musk lose money and lose face because I can't stand fucking billionaires who don't pay their fair share of taxes, and Nazis even less, SpaceX allows Musk to keep the US government way too dependent on him for a healthy democracy to exist - or indeed any democracy.

    • the technology and advancement in reusable spacecraft that SpaceX pioneered is genuinely groundbreaking
    • my enthusiasm for SpaceX was rapidly and completely eroded around when Phony Stark bought Twitter and began overtly using it to manipulate national political discourse
    • my outright hostility to SpaceX began when it became clear they were a key part of killing broadband and fiber expansion, in (imo) an obvious play to control dissemination of data under the auspices of a Phony Stark company

    Were it not attached to that ketamine fueled South African fascistic billionaire fuckwit, SpaceX could have had a much more incredible and long-lasting trajectory. But alas; we are in the bad place.

    It will after the Epstein class cash out after going public and getting access to our pensions and 401(k)s. Its literally the plan.

    It's run by an over-privileged junkie. I don't know how it got this far. Ooh yea, money. Lots and lots of money.

    Not his money, OUR money.

    Not his money, OUR money.

    Is US tax money really ours, or is it basically Trump's near-infinite gift fund?

    I have thought long and hard about this but if Trump has not worked a day in his life then Trump doesn't know what money IS.

    Everyone tells him he should get more but he doesn't know WHY. He's confused.

    Perhaps most glaringly, the Financial Times‘ Richard Waters asks in a new piece, is whether SpaceX will be able to justify its unprecedented valuation five or ten years from now.

    So the journalist of this article has nothing really and is carrying out some embarrassing shabby work.

    Space X cannot justify it's valuation right now and this article does nothing to question that. Instead it's like a bunch of gossiping hairdressers all trying to guess who and when someone is going say the emperor has no clothes
