In what way is appreciating the success of a real life Tony Stark "brainwashing"? You really need to work on your game you dumbass shill. At this rate you wouldn't even pass a Turing test.

Well, about that Elon Musk guy -
"Never ever trust a junkie."
Asher Brown
He's successful at being a con artist. Which is great for him, but not for anyone else, including bootlickers like you and the rest of hn.
Blake Wright
Who is he conning out of what? He is literally changing the auto industry, space industry and tunneling industry for the better. And what have you accomplished?

The taxpayer out of all the subsidies he gladly takes by making promises he doesn't keep.
t. Elon Musk
was happening anyway, the established industry giants have so much funds they will be the ones making and perpetually owning (thanks botnet) wisely used nucars as well.
Wrong. His plan was to use massive capital to undercut others so to drive that out of business so he can extract monopoly rent. Also his rockets, despite readily using publically funded research while himself keeping everything proprietary, exploded. Also nice ad hominem at the end, I had not expected less.

You're not really in the loop are you? Read this before you talk shit: engadget.com

No it wasn't fucking happening, I'm pretty sure that I couldn't buy a functional electrical car before Tesla showed up and car manufacturers are barely catching up with their own electric cars a full 7 years later than Tesla. The industry giants are suffering from decades of bailouts and subsidies to the point that they've become as slow and retarded as any government institution in the U.S.
Yes, that's called doing business: you make a better product for cheaper and then sell it. The only other competing aerospace companies like Lockheed Martin and Boeing weren't doing shit with all the subsidies they received, SpaceX has delivered and is now delivering payloads consistently at vastly lower prices than the other parasites have done or can do. The research they rely on is public domain, NASA wants you to use their knowledge, using it is no crime but a proper use of publicly funded research: it is literally meant for the betterment of mankind and rightly used by SpaceX. I can't understand how you see fault with that.
They shot a damn car into space, just for the heck of it. Can you think of anything cooler than that? As for the ad hominem: the question still stands: And what have you accomplished, other than some halfwitted, shill level critique of a man that will outshine you no matter how many lifetimes of your pathetic soul you throw in the ring.
ELON MUSK DID NOTHING WRONG

The only bad thing I've ever heard about Elon is that he loves Microsoft tech and thinks the NT kernel is the best ever.

Also, when Musk's X.com joined up with PayPal, PayPal was using Oracle database on sum sort of *nix and X.com was using Windows NT stuff with who knows what database.
