Yeah, I'm shilling the fuck out of Elon, but that's because I think he's the best chance we got for anything actually happening. I've seen social media do a complete 180 in recent years, going from wholeheartedly supporting Elon and his endevors to completely shitting all over him at any chance they get. Why? I'm out of the loop on this one.

Because he's a degenerate freak.

> Tesla founder Elon Musk and his, ahem, wife Claire Boucher recently gave birth to an offspring that they decided to name “X Æ A-12” in celebration (?) of its designation as a “gender-neutral” baby.

> In bizarre sci-fi fashion, the couple made the politically correct announcement while offering an aside that the baby is actually a biological boy. But in order to not offend the child’s eventual and inevitable gender confusion, Musk and Boucher have given him a space alien name to appeal to the cult of LGBTQ.

> “I don’t want to gender them (sic) in case that’s not how they feel in their (sic) life,” Boucher, who goes by the musician name of “Grimes,” stated during a YouTube live stream event from back in February. Like most panderers to the cult of LGBTQ, Boucher used grammatically incorrect “them” and “their” pronouns to refer to her singularly existent son.

> When fans and curious inquirers began to press Musk and Boucher about their choice of a name for their baby boy, Grimes took to Twitter with an explanation that pretty much makes no sense. Note her reference to artificial intelligence (AI), which is suggestive of the fact that herself, Musk, and possibly their baby boy may not be entirely human.

The only reason why he's viewed positively is because of his suit and his hero complex--which he uses as a method of redemption to foil against the fact that 90% of his wealth is derived from the blood of innocents (at least in the MCU).

You didn't understand. Yes, he made EVs more fashionable in a broader public, as I said earlier, so the competition has risen but his tech isn't revolutionary, you understand that don't you. I mean both EVs and autonomous vehicles; plus is nothing new (Toyota attempted hybrid cars much earlier and the idea was pretty fashionable back then).

On the 27th Musk will dab on twenty years of critics. People thought he was retarded for starting a rocket company. Then people thought he was retarded for expecting to do anything more than make a few parts for a government project rocket as a private entity. People thought Electric Vehicles were a joke and Tesla would never survive.

Now Tesla's are driving Nasa astronauts to a SpaceX designed launch tower in Tesla's to board a SpaceX crew capsule launched on a SpaceX reusable market dominating rocket to be guided by a SpaceX control room. They're at least equal partners although Nasa funded has to be taken into account ofcourse.

In what way? The tweets and interviews? Superficial media stuff that doesn't matter at all.

There is a cult following but not a blind one. NASA themselves couldn't be happier with SpaceX and as much as you might have your doubts the Artemis announcement is pretty strong proof NASA thinks Starship is making serious headway.

Rocketry is a very niche interest that doesn't interest most people and that's fine but nothing more than this Artemis program displays what a collosal deal Starship is. Once it gets orbital that market with many competitors you talked about is all but obsolete.

I imagine a vast Musk dynasty, with each son taking over a different branch of industry from Big Daddy Musk. Once Elon realizes he can't get to Mars in his lifetime, I expect him to shift focus to optimizing extreme education for his kids, pulling the same tricks a as Laszlo Polgar which turned his daughters into chess grandmasters. A real-life Umbrella Academy?

You know his Ad Astra school exists and is already doing that, yea?

I think Musk will live long enough to see boots on Mars if not a small token presence but yea it does occur to me that he could be the start of a Rothschild tier dynasty that realistically spread across the Solar system.

I like what his companies have accomplished technologically, but Musk has shown himself to be a ulta-capitalistic sociopath. He treats his own employees like shit, he seems to care nothing for anyone, he only cares about making money.

Not making money. Making progress and pushing technological boundaries. He had far far easier ways of making even more money that EVs and private Aerospace ultragambles.

He has the same kind of relentless pursuit you see in a wall street fat cat, but his goal is advancing our progress as a species instead of hoarding power and cash, which in the longest terms will provide more power and cash than is currently imaginable
