Is your argument that Blue Origin could easily do what SpaceX does, but voluntarily chooses not to for some reason despite every incentive? Isn't a much simple

Is your argument that Blue Origin could easily do what SpaceX does, but voluntarily chooses not to for some reason despite every incentive? Isn't a much simpler explanation that they can't? Elon hired the right people and let them get on with it, at the very least. For whatever reason, Jeff Bezos was not capable of that.

> Elon hired the right people and let them get on with it, at the very least. For whatever reason, Jeff Bezos was not capable of that. Yes. He wrote checks. That's it. That is not a skill. (I'm posting too fast) > No. Elon is a guy who will himself sleep on the factory floor to get something done. He is the guy who famously said "when you're going through hell, keep going". He is the guy who bet his entire fortune on electric cars and rockets when no one thought that was a bright idea. What does sleeping on the factory floor do apart from obstruct anyone on said floor who happens to be trying to work? This is literally the same nonsense parroted by grindset influencers, and it is just that, nonsense. If you overwork yourself, your output is notably reduced, and of worse quality, you know, because YOU'RE TIRED and you should fucking sleep. And bet his fortune? Fucking spare me. Every one of his companies could go under and that man would still be incredibly, absurdly rich. Elon Musk, sir, is as far from poverty as you and I are from his beloved Mars.

    To be fair, he's also the guy who called a guy a pedophile on Twitter when he disagreed with him, then threatened to buy the company for $54.20 a share because LOL 420, then fought like a wildcat to get out of it, and then, when he couldn't get out of it, told his newly-acquired customers to fuck off. He is basically a chaos monkey. A man for his time.
