On one hand I want SpaceX to succeed. But on the other hand, I can't stand Elon benefiting in any way. I won't commenr again about the rampant Elon supported racism at tesla or the him firing spacex employees begging him to stop letting his bullshit personal politics in the way of their mission. But he is literally supporting anti-semitism now in the open, to the point the anti-defamation league is pleading with companies to stop adverising on X. I don't want any human progress or achievement to come at such a high price. Not when the government is paying Elon for launches.
I wish spacex all the success, hope Elon divests it to make up for his loss on twitter. I hope Elon all the failure in the world, or better yet I hope he finds redemption and sees the error of his ways, that he stops promoting hatred and division and peacefully enjoys his enormous wealth. Being a horrible person, despite the myth, is not a pre-requisite to achieving great things nor is it excused by such achievements.

- dragontamer 3y agoPraising a post defending Hitler is hardly about calling out genocide, is it not?
- psyman 3y agoSorry, my bad, I have not followed his tweets recently.

- leetgirl83 3y agoThe ADL has been promoting reverse discrimination against whites for years. It's what Elon was referencing when he agreed with the tweet post. And how many times does Elon need to say that he abhors antisemitism, and all forms of racism?
- jiggawatts 3y ago“He disagrees with the leaders of my tribe, hence he’s a member of the enemy tribe. That makes him bad!”
- _8j50 3y agoNo, he is an ass and cruel, that makes him bad. Praising hitler and supporting antisemitism has nothing to do with any "tribe" leader.

- pauldenton 3y agoWhen did he praise Hitler and support antisemitism?
- pfincent 3y agoSource please
- _8j50 3y agoI think this one has plenty sources but google had plenty of results: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/16/elon-musk-antisemitic-tweet-adl https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/16/elon-musk... I don't even keep up with that jerk but apparently he thinks as a the richest man on the planet he isn't being allowed to be proud of his race, the jews are after him because he is white and anyone who disagrees is engaging in anti-white racism. I hope sibling commenters asking the same thing read this. HN quotas and all.
- jiggawatts 3y agoThere is literally zero evidence in that article that Musk is an anti-semite, quotes Hitler, or any such nonsense. This all seems to be "ADL is on our side, Musk doesn't like the ADL, therefore he is one of the enemy." From what I gather, Musk's opinion is in no way outlandish or unique. For example, here in Australia there was a referendum recently to alter the constitution to recognise aboriginals and give them a "voice" in parliament. This was basically a salve for the collective white guilt, or something. It got soundly rejected by the majority of the country. Musk's opinions appear to be in-line with the majority of Australians. Are we all Hitler-quoting anti-semite racists?
- thegrim22 3y ago"that he stops promoting hatred and division" Your entire post is literally a rant with the sole purpose of promoting hatred and division.
- _8j50 3y agoAgainst whom? Elon? I can see how you would think I hate him but who is subject of the division here, that implies groups.
