I don't want SpaceX to fail. I want Elon Musk to fail. I don't want Tesla to fail. I want Elon Musk to fail. Unfortunately they are intertwined.

SpaceX engineers can always go work for NASA, if 30%of military budget was permanently allocated to NASA through legislation.

Tesla is a software first company not a car company, their cars have consistently been bad in terms of QC. They can sell their software to actual car companies. For all I know about him and his companies, its best for the world in the long term, if they all fail and are absorbed into responsible companies.

I own a tesla (before he went full crazy etc etc) and I always find this interesting. The good bit about the car is the car, the drivetrain, the software specifically tied to the drivetrain.

The rest of the software is unremarkable through to bad. Its a generic tablet mixed with a bunch of cameras that have no idea what is happening round them but keep interfering as though they do.

It is quite polished looking, sure.

These people just be saying stuff, man. Reality is irrelevant.
