Reply to comment by neon in The SpaceX steamroller has shifted into a higher gear this year by returnofjuju

Space X is a fabulous company and I was following it when they hadn’t even gotten anything off the ground. I cheer every launch and I can honestly say that they have single handed changed the space race. Again, that’s why I’m delighted hes over at Twitter and not at Space X right now.

You think he'd what, come back in and fuck it up? Make the f9s do flips and swap propellant to concentrated blue checkmarks? He's been CEO there for 20 years, him and Shotwell got that shit down tight, if there were problems for him to smooth over he'd be there doing it, he's just having fun and looking forward while starship is in development.

I agree; Shotwell does have everything well in hand (probably always has). I’d like to keep it that way. He can have all the fun he wants at Twitter. I hope he stays there as long as possible.

Hate to tell you this but:

Elon Musk has contributed massively to something you admire. I know it makes you want to cry to admit that, but it's the truth.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers.

He has contributed massively to Space X. Now however lately he’s become national embarrassment to anybody who’s paying attention. You keep on pretending that he’s a god emperor though.

Show me where i said he's a god emperor.

i don't even like him. it's just hilarious watching people like you try to downplay his accomplishments simply because he votes different from you.

you can dislike someone and still recognize they've done good things you know.

You are being more than a little bit ridiculous here. Do you honestly believe that anyone in this thread claimed or implied that Musk is a god emperor? The comment you replied to said that Musk has contributed massively, which you now agree with. Does that mean that you too are "pretending that he’s a god emperor"? Obviously not. Try to be honest.

You started out with some false claims about Musk's contributions at SpaceX. Multiple people have given you calm and polite replies explaining why your claims are false. It is okay to admit that you were wrong. It is okay to acknowledge someone's contributions even if you dislike them.

I gave my opinion and you’ve given yours. Why can’t you just let it go.
