On Elon Musk, it's funny because he never put a profit, like tesla isn't the biggest, X is draining money, his robotics shits are just that: shit, only spacex is relatively successfull, but it's not on the same level of half trillion dollars.
There isn't much that he's done, all of his companies are making less profits (or losing more money if i'm being correct), he is just a jake paul that fakes being a fake intelligent person.
Edit: Deleted my edit, i'm drunk
Yeah, its ironic. The richest man in the world doesn't have a single truly profit-making venture under him.
How the bubble around him hasn't burst yet I don't know, but it would certainly be a feast for sore eyes.
SpaceX has been phenomenally successful. I don't think he can be attributed to much of that success. The Falcon 9 handled 95% of launches in 2024. SpaceX has went from non existant to a near monopoly in 23 years while competing against some of the most powerfully connected companies in the world.
I'm not a SpaceX fanboy (I'm a space fanboy). They have done a lot of good for the space industry, while also causing a lot of harm to the scientific space community (earth based observations). I just don't think you can make an argument that SpaceX is not a successful company.
I agree. Changed the text!
Apartheid-man's basically a bubble unto himself.
Go home drunk, I’m too Dad
Not exactly sure what you're trying to say here but spacex has tentative plans to ipo at a 1.5 trillion valuation.
Wallstreet is salivating over this because they know they get in first and will make bank when retail investor drive the price to ridiculous levels.
I'm saying that it isn't so profitable to make anywhere near that amount of money in decades.
I doubt spacex is profitable. The ipo is so they raise cash. They probably burned it all up with the starship failures.
I'm sure on paper it will look profitable same as Tesla looks profitable from certain angles but is actually propped up by the ability to create more shares. He'll do the same with spacex. Bleed it for his own gains.
I don't think he actually cares about any of this tech. It's the only explanation for how he keeps wasting first mover advantage.
Gov gotta have their corporate frontman. Keeps their hands clean.
Just like his paypal buddy, spinning the golden wool of palantir from the unwelcome rot of total information awareness.
And now no pesky joe-public to get in the way, since it's corporate, not public.
They're clever like that.
