>The media is saying Elon was just beat at his own game. The media is not a single, conscious entity. Some Gizmodo blog may have claimed as such, but I think you'll have a very hard time producing any other person who would claim that what a Gizmodo blog says is what the entire media is saying. >Elon tweeted to point out that it's a horrible comparison Not really. There are comparables: stick goes up, stick goes down without crashing. Elon only appears to have made a non-sequitor argument (unless someone shows where the media made the claim that space and orbit were the same thing). Ultimately, this is probably a defect of Twitter's character limit. It is extremely difficult to put a fully reasoned argument into a single tweet.
