Don't care. He built the company, he's the face of it. People hate the company and live in a dreamland where it's failing because they want what Elon owns to be shit.

It isn't and they are wrong because they can't see past their bias.

    Space x doesn't work thanks to Musk. It works DESPITE him, and it requires careful management.

    Yes, Musk has made people hate anything he's involved in, or that enriches him. It's only natural; Actions have consequences. He's a severely mentally ill billionaire, increasingly detached from reality. And now his politics and disinformation are a danger to millions of people. If SpaceX or Tesla wants to feel the love, they know what to do. Until then, I can only assume they accept the consequences.

    I'm not sure how peoples delusions are a logical outcome.

    If I don't like America that doesn't mean it suddenly isn't the richest country in the world just because I don't like it.

    People really need to understand their bias, wanting SpaceX to be shit doesn't make it so. That's what we are talking about. Nothing else. SpaceX rockets aren't powered on feels.

    You keep bringing up people wanting spacex to be shit but I don't think that's a prevailing sentiment

    I have definitely seen that. You see it more on the tests of Starship. Even when it is successful and goes better than expected. Because it blows up a lot of people are laughing at how bad the company is.

    From what I see Gwynne Shotwell is the one that's really doing the heavy lifting in the company.

    Seriously what is going on here?

    Okay? If that is or isn't correct what did I say that was wrong?

    Are you saying. People think Spacex is a failing company (when it isn't) because of Shotwell?

    They're just adding context. Calm down you have a real victim complex going on, and it's boring.

    It's not context because it's irrelevant to the point at hand. It's an adjacent point but it isn't related.

    I'm talking about people perception of SpaceX. The actual inner workings of the company is an irrelevant point.

    It's not a complex, he's reacting to the downvotes (that do seem unfair).

    He's being downvoted because people are pointing things out and he's arguing about them, even though they are reality.

    Exactly what "things" are you referring to? Also, his last post wasn't really even arguing... It was asking questions.

    He said

    Okay? If that is or isn't correct what did I say that was wrong?

    Which I have to say, is a more than reasonable question, it's an attempt to start a dialogue. Down voting a reply like that is just childish.

    I haven't said anything about it being a failing company, I'm just introducing some much needed information because of how much glazing I've noticed.
