      God I see this everywhere. It’s stupid to revoke his government contracts - the government is buying services that they can’t easily replace.

      Instead the government should force him to divest his shares in affected companies. That way everybody wins (except Musk).

            He isn’t doing shit. SpaceX is. Don’t fall for his propaganda, the guy is a rich spoiled brat, not some engineering genius.

              I agree for the most part. But he has, in the past, been very good at press.

              You know the double landing of the rockets was an insane requirement had to come straight from him. There was no need to land both simultaneously, and just made everything a lot riskier and more stressful to coordinate. But the good press they got from it let them ride a tidal wave of good will for years.

              Of course, he has ruined all that good will and then some. It’s obviously time to cut him out. The one thing he was good at is not the his worst quality.

              But yes, to your point, he never had anything to do with engineering in any capacity for any of his companies. He was a PR machine, and a slave driver to get his superficial vanity projects to completion. But that has all caught up to him.

            Musk is literally banned from tweeting about SpaceX without board approval, but you go off about how musk is helping them…

            Also when he talks about an engineering degree, he’s lying. Completely. He dropped out before he even got through second year. He doesn’t even have an Associate’s Degree.

            You actually think he builds them

            He’s the modern equivalent of Thomas Alva Steal Someone Else’s Ideas And Claim Them As Your Own Edison

      Bro, Musk is literally an african-american immigrant welfare queen supporting Trump, like this is the best timeline for popcorn sales.
