I’m not hiding. You’re taking it personally. I’m lumping him together with a bunch of other yahoos. I was forced to idolize THOMAS EDISON as a kid. Thought he was Mr. Wonderful ’til a year or two later when I learned about his BS fight with Westinghouse, among other things.
Tainted my opinion of ALL OF ‘EM for the rest of time.
And you want me to single out Musk as somebody special, unique and different? What makes him a snowflake deserving of kid gloves?

You show ME where his companies are ANY DIFFERENT from Lockheed Martin, Boeing and any number of other corporate weapons manufacturers – current, past or future, fundamentally. They all get bailouts from the US government eventually.
I can’t show you how do his contract NOT PROVIDE value. How the heck can I prove a negative?
I haven’t seen that it *has*. How? You see something I don’t. You tell me.

Space debris. More space debris. It’s gonna get ugly in a tiny section of the thermosphere and exosphere before long. Nah, I don’t want commercialization of space – and I don’t think battery powered cars are the answer yet.
So it’s progress in directions I think are unnecessary.

Equally not a fan of Bezos too. Loved early Amazon of course. Been on since ’99. But obscene profit margins allowing him to play with rockets? Nah. Not a fan.
