How do these people consistently get away with promising so much and delivering so little?
He rapidly developed the best rockets on the planet though? Something not even governments could pull off as well. >inb4 he just had moneyGovernments have near infinite funding, atleast the US government does. He was just better.>inb4 he just hired the best engineersThere are other billionaires and governments who coulda done the same. I don't even care much for Elon and can admit he's pulled off large feats. Only very dull people can't admit this.
>>61046833I'd assume it was with the permission of the government and he may be an arm of the government. He implements government policy when the market isn't delivering so they overlook his massive stock market fraud he performed to get the money to do it
>>61047919there have been rumors of remotely shutting down the brakes on some of his cars to cause certain "accidents"
>>61046833How do people get away with doing nothing in their lives but still finding the audacity to belittle a guy who builds rockets?
Because he knows how to make the stock go up which matters more to financiers than a working product that sells well>>61046871>>61048001>b-b-b-b-but space-eks...spacex is the one thing he was able to do right and what a surprise, it's also not a public company
>>61046871This>>61047919>>61047927>>61048001>>61048266people who shit on Elon forgot he literally made electric cars mainstream and created something better than fucking NasaWhat a bunch of fucking retarded NPC's for believing anything the mainstream media tells them
>>61048358Imagine being you.
>>61048403Imagine being a normie NPC who jumps on the hate elon bandwagon lmao
>>61048415Imagine measuring perspective because someone isn’t lockstep with your current thing.
>>61048433No point arguing with cultists man, there were what 3/1000 at Jonestown who didn’t drink the koolaid
>>61048467>cultisti never was a fan of elon musk
>>61048358>EV>Mainstream Go back to China, Chang
>>61048678half the new cars sold are electric at least in most of european countries
>>61048695I’m skipping straight to fuel cell hydrogen powered vehicles. Enjoy your obsolete large lithium ion battery shitbox faggot.
NASA was working with Lockheed on reusable rockets in the 90s. Gubbamint had problems with bureocracy and there was lots of political opposition. SpaceX, being a private company, didn't have these headwinds.
>catches a 20 story starship in chopsticks>Teslas drive themselves off the assembly line>Starlink provides satellite internet to the entire planetretard who uses DoorDash to order cereal: wow this is nothing, when is he going to deliver
>>61048358imagine simping for a south african scammer
>>61046833Awwww did OP lose money shorting TSLA
>>61046871>>61048358>He rapidly developed the best rockets on the planet though? Something not even governments could pull off as well. >and created something better than fucking NasaHe literally used all ex-NASA talent, and SpaceX would have been bankrupt without getting its first big government contract.It's called FUNDING.NASA would be in the same position, but without lining some foreign billionaire's pocket, if people funded NASA, instead of slashing its budgets.Elon doesn't know dick about rockets, he's a hype man who knows how to pick talent. He didn't even start SpaceX, he bought it from it's ex-NASA administrator founder.

>>61048695BEV market share is 15.8% in the EU, according to thishttps://www.acea.auto/pc-registrations/new-car-registrations-0-1-in-august-2025-year-to-date-battery-electric-15-8-market-share/
>>61046833>>61046871>>61048358> rapidly developed the best rocketsThat depends on what you define as "rapidly." The development path of the Merlin engine literally goes back to the 1990s (SpaceX started off by hiring the turbopump supplier for the Fastrac engine)>he literally made electric cars mainstreamI think lithium-ion batteries had more to do with that than Musk. Musk deserves credit for being one of those who recognized the potential of lithium-ion batteries early on.>Something not even governments could pull off as well. >created something better than fucking NasaNASA essentially created SpaceX through the COTS and CRS contracts. NASA doesn't build rockets and never has built rockets; they have always contracted private companies to do it for them>he's pulled off large feats.The feats might be large when compared to the average business venture, but they are small when compared to his promises. Furthermore, the success of SpaceX does not justify the sky high valuation of Tesla. And I think those were OP's points.
>>61048001By noting that he constantly overpromises and then constantly underdelivers compared to what he has promised
>>61050994>He literally used all ex-NASA talentI think it would be more accurate to say that he hired talent that previously had worked for other NASA contractors. For example in the early days of SpaceX, key engineers that Musk hired had previously built up experience by working on the TR-106/107 engines whose development had been funded by NASA/DoD
>>61046871Using NASA talent and giant government contracts for SpaceXand government EV tax credits enabling Tesla customersthen proceeding to show his empty ballsack on a host of other disciplines and fields where actual experts check him
