Yeah, and Gmail started as an April Fools prank, remember? You call it BS, I call it "no one is innovating as much as this fucking guy", go figure. EDIT: The guy is sending rockets to freaking space and has a fleet of satellites that provide intenet, are you not entertained??

I am not. Everything he has done successfully relied on old/proven technology. I am not saying that this is bullshit or not impressive. But that does not prove anything about his claims on AI, transportation or Mars colonization. I would love to see him succeed, but at this stage I am pretty much convinced that he won't, too many red flags.

> no one is innovating as much as this fucking guy The Spruce Goose is marvelous and innovative too, the Apollo rockets, the ISS, you name it. All those things had their plug pulled or are about to be because they are giant money sinkholes which failed to pay for themselves or provide any ROI in terms of money or quality of life. Electric Cars and rockets have not yet graduated to a point where it's safe to say that they won't be just a fad. If people stop caring about climate then EVs have no reason to exist. Similarly as the population becomes more and more urbanised they will rely on fiber as opposed to Sat-Internet so Starlink has no reason to exist. All those things you are enthusiastic about are mostly overhyped fads which Musk himself is pumping and self-promoting while the real innovation which is life changing for all of us will come from some small and quiet biotech company, away from all the media fanfare. Oh wait, it already happened with Moderna and people can't even comprehend it because they are busy following the last PR stunt of this fraud.

Sending rockets to space from government subsidies that could have went to NASA.. Also, was that line of code written by you or the CEO of the company you have never seen?

  Eh, NASA would have wasted the subsidies on pork anyway. There's a reason why Boeing's Starliner is in very huge conondrum right now, while SpaceX and the other NewSpace firms are progressing rapidly...

    It’s partially due to NASA having to pay for insurance as well
