If I destroy corruption they will kill me

All the Musk animosity shows me is just how thoroughly f-cking stupid most are. Here’s a guy whose only major sin is agreeing with Trump about how inefficient, costly, and wasteful government is. (Something that we all should know). His recognition of the problem and no- bullshit technical way to fix it has led millions from Sheryl Crow to normally intelligent posters here to belittle, insult, and threaten him. Why? He is doing a helluva job even if people are not self-assured enough to recognize it. There simply is no way to give the country a kumbaya group hug and do what needs to be done.

Meanwhile, Space X is doing amazing things. The raptor enigine is the world leader in rocket science and Musk explains the simplicity of the third version very well. Space x is way ahead of the world In metallurgy and 3-d printing which will soon be taken from rocketry to civilian and military applications. Musk posted the details about yesterday’s flight delay—his day job. Yeah, the guy is autistic and doesn’t do emotions, but his willingness to bring his ability to fixing government operations is good for all of us.

More about this. When Gwynne Shotwell said a few months ago that Starship will soon eclipse Starlink as Space x’s most important asset, I didn’t fully understand what she meant. Her message is more clear now. Space x is in the closing stages of permitting a Starship base and launch facility in Florida. It’s expanding the Texas Starship facilities. With its 200ton capacity and reusable rockets, the commercial applications of starship will be enormous and far more advanced than anything else. Space Force is looking at military uses, particularly logistics. In-orbit rocket refueling will begin in a year or so. Amazing things are in store.

Exactly. He made big promises, big statements and now the "they will kill me if do more rooting" nonsense could not sillier. He's justifying his inability to keep his promises and Trump's promises. To borrow yet another demeaning characterization that CO Hoosier relies upon in this thread, how stupid do you have to be to believe this shit? Ever public comment Musk has made about his DOGE efforts has been a flat out lie. You can look at DOGE documents and see the flat out corrections they have made that make MUSK's public comments about the substance of the cuts just flat out lies. Pardon me if I don't go hug the opportunist who reviews the air traffice control equipment and immediatiately cancels the contract with Verizon without almost no explainer and no back up, and says "We gotta get starlink in here now". You don't say.

Maybe we can substitute George Soros for Musk. Soros has 1000% great knowledge of economics and markets than Musk, and Soro's upbringing and life was every bit as impressive as Musk's, if not moreso.
You’re chalking up his paranoia to intent to deceive. Based on that text exchange with his new baby momma, I think he believes it. I listened to the Rogan interview and thought he really believed it when he said it.

Of course, that doesn’t mean he might not also be using it (what he believes to be true) for better public perception and to get what he wants.

Not at all--I looked at the clip, and to me it felt like he was bullshitting. I saw the texts as well, but they didn't jive with the previous texts that were released by the Ashley person who released a portion of a text string that says "I want to knock you up again", and it had other language in front of the "I want to knock you up again". This latest release has the same "I want to knock you up again", but has different words/phrases before the romantic missive from Elon.

Color me a skeptic, but he hasn't been overly truthful and has engaged in more than hyperbole over the years and the last two months have been more of that.

I oppose vandalism, arson and violence no matter what the motivation. It's why I think that those engaged in violence against cops on J6 and those rioting during the BLM period all deserved prosecution and punishment. The pardons of those that attacked cops on J6 are inexcusable.

I must note that MAGA demonized electric vehicles, Tesla and Musk before he decided to join the team with his new buddy and MAGA leader, President Trump. Now they love him (though I doubt they're supporting him by buying Tesla vehicles). That'll last until the President tires of Musk and starts calling Musk names, maybe something like Feline Musk (I'll leave that to the President) and then MAGA will go back to demonizing Tesla. You can take this to the bank. The pattern never changes.
Great post. Now do the other side.






Both tribes are the way you describe MAGA.

What’s the quote, “Follow the money?” Who’s gonna investigate the flow of money when everyone is getting fired or the there’s nobody who’s remotely impartial anymore?

And I mean on both sides it’s hard to find anyone with a backbone.

I agree he exaggerates a lot. I just think he's paranoid, too.

At 54 🤣🤣
I remember playing diablo when it first came out years and years and years ago.

But I can no longer do video games. Losing to my kids 15 years ago at EVERY game of Mario Kart on the Wii was the final straw. I tried fortnight once with my youngest--I think I set an all-time record for how many times I was killed in a minute. The inability to use 26 buttons in sequence is beyond my skills now.
