    They both shoot rockets up in the sky. Our government could pay NASA to do it, or pay Space X.

    I might actually gain a tiny, minuscule bit of respect for him if he officially changes his name to Rocket Hitler

    It would be cool if sabotage is happening... Adjust a hydrogen valve here and there, change a few timing parameters to the right amount and watch the 4th of July in may! And of course... Make it look like an accident.

    It certainly is a weird timeline when Apple is the good guy.

    Reminds me of March 24 to November 10, 2001, when Apple had embraced Unix and -- to some extent -- open source by releasing OS X, but had not yet pivoted towards glued-shut and DRM'd consumer electronics by releasing the iPod.

    Wasn't Tim Cook one of the first to donate to Trump's Inauguration? Did they at least protest DEI scrapping (excluding some shareholders) or Gulf of Mexico rename, or bent over like rest of big tech? I'm honestly not seeing it, to me Apple is as bad as google

    It's best not to humanize corporations, especially as the arbiters of morality and ethics. It's simply a calculated risk on Apples part. I don't mean to be a negative Nancy and all "nothing good happens" it's just we can't keep letting corporations get away with being brands you can "trust" when we have all the evidence necessary to assume they are not trustworthy, just profit-seeking.

    So much for the free market unless it no longer benefits SpaceX and Elon Musk in general. Welcome to post capitalistic America!

    Must be trying to hide fraud and waste. Better set up a commission to investigate them and start firing spacex execs.
