Just wanted to point out for the record that the person you're replying to said "inane," not "insane." Might not have changed your reply all that much though.

IMO SpaceX is not an inane idea, though it's arguably insane from the perspective of the era when it was founded (2002-ish), but it definitely seems to have succeeded. Tesla might be in the same bucket. But everything else he's been involved with has either been a non-starter or turned to trash (see: Boring Company, Twitter, xAI, whatever the hell the flamethrower thing was, etc). My sense is that he's getting worse over time, as mental illness, delusions of grandeur, and/or yes-men he's been surrounding himself with increasingly cloud his judgement.
- ActorNightly 2y agoSpace X succeded because they basically played Elon. There are enough smart people there to realize that they needed to have Elon handlers to prevent him from tanking progress.
