Ouch! It's hard to tell if this is assertion based on some sort of familiarity with SpaceX's finances or just another of a seemingly endless stream of anti-Musk jabs.
Surely you can't put SpaceX and Uber into the same category when it comes to the state of their finances and where that money comes from. Surely a cursory glance at the slew of public, private and government contracts SpaceX already has, plus the ones they have lined up, not to mention the involvement in programs like Artemus, would demonstrate to most people that they are in league far and beyond the likes of Uber with their dubious Vision Fund and questionable private backers.
Or are you saying in this case that SpaceX, with all of its money and potential is basically to Starlink, what Softbank is to Uber?
If it's the former, I'd love to get a better understand of what you mean?
- BugWatch 4y agoNot an answer to your question, but a vent-rant: 95% of anti-Musk "jabs" are reality and facts, and way over-shouted by Musk's fanatics, butt-kissers, and followers of his cult of personality. I have personally tried to set record straight with multiple instances of people in my private life (with legal documents, news clippings, timelines...) – nothing helps, they always find an excuse for him, it's like a bloody religion. And I'm sick of uncritical and butt-kissing media coverage, his fan club, and his egomaniacal loud existence.
- sennight 4y agoIt has always struck me that the people expressing the same sentiment that you just did put far more energy into it than the "fanatics, butt-kissers, and followers of his cult of personality"; to the point that you'd bother the "people in my private life (with legal documents, news clippings, timelines...)". It reminds me of the tech journalists who declared bitcoin dead in 2013, and how they'd get more venomous in their attacks year after year, presumably due to some kind deranged ego shielding.
