  Go to bed, Elon.

    Yeah they shouldn't have posted that Nazi salute!!!

      Irrelevant to his ability to run a company that makes good rockets at an efficient price, so... who cares? This is exactly the point of the person you're replying to. The ad hominem destroys your ability to recognise how insanely good SpaceX and Elon are at this rocket ship thing. Actual Nazis made a lot of stuff 75 years ago that you use and take advantage of on a daily basis. Nobody's judging you, dude. Appreciating and recognising a good scientist or businessman doesn't necessitate that you align with them ideologically.

        But "running the company" also involved claiming a sniper agent may have been to blame. I think it's apropos then to consider that this is the same guy who called someone who rescued children stuck in a cave a "pedo". This is a guy who has made some unfortunate public statements.

        Making good rockets takes good engineers and musk ain't that

    Or because it was a thing Elon pursued: https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/05/spacex-pushed-sniper-theory-with-the-feds-far-more-than-is-publicly-known/ https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/05/spacex-pushed-sniper-t...

      Reading facts about Elon Musk and making reasonable conclusions about him based on those facts is just anti-Elon bias! The only way to not be biased is to unthinkingly accept everything he says as truth
- 2muchcoffeeman 4mo ago
  Seriously considering that a rival hired a sniper to shoot your rocket is stupid.

Elon is a true genius, up there with Euler and Feynman. So when things don't go perfectly with his initial idea surely it must be a conspiracy to get him down
- shafyy 4mo ago
  Comparing Elon Musk, a rich kid that got lucky by investing his money in to "cool shit" with some of the most significant scientists and mathematicians of humankind is just wrong.
  - chriswait 4mo ago
    I think that's the joke
    - shafyy 4mo ago
      Ah, didn't get the /s :D

  :D I am starting to understand why his stock is as high as it is. Musk is a competent manager, amazing bser, but he is not a genius. edit: Competent manager is not a slight. There are very few competent managers these days.
  - sumeno 4mo ago
    The people I know who have worked for him would not call him a competent manager
    - iugtmkbdfil834 4mo ago
      Hmm, you do have a point. What if I asked you to look at him through the lens of the shareholder?

The history of rocket accidents involving problems handling liquid oxygen is long and considering a sniper as the reason was considered quite unique perspective for someone to propose.

Because it’s both delusional and paranoid.

  I'd probably throw "grandiose" in there somewhere as well, but that may just be me

Well, because it is very Elon. In Reentry: SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the Reusable Rockets that Launched a Second Space Age, Eric Berger recounts how Elon was the only person on the planet who believed his sniper theory.
