> you see that he’s a creator of mirages who promises more than he delivers
There is no doubt he has promised many things that have never been delivered, or delivered extremely late.
He (his companies/teams) have also utterly changed the space launch landscape to the point of making the rest of the world irrelevant. Changed the energy market across the globe, delivered exceptional electric vehicles and (finally) put a car on the road for public use with no mirrors, steering wheel or pedals. The production line is also world leading, as stated by every auto CEO that has toured it.
Does he over promise and exaggerate? Undoubtedly.
But he does also deliver.
- bix6 16d agoOk and how about his character as a human being?
- testing22321 16d agoI’ve never met the guy, but many reports are very bad.
- pavel_lishin 16d ago> He (his companies/teams) have also utterly changed the space launch landscape to the point of making the rest of the world irrelevant For now. Other countries are catching up, same as they are with electric vehicles.
- testing22321 16d agoNews at 10: future products will surpass current products. That is always true, in every industry.

- dzhiurgis 15d ago> Other countries are catching up Are they? Rocket Lab is near me, I know a lot of people working there. They haven't flown Neutron rocket yet. Meanwhile SpaceX is already planning to sunset Falcon 9 which is same scale as Neutron. I don't see them being very competitive with Starship, despite being so much cheaper.

- bmitc 16d agoDoes he actually deliver? Isn't SpaceX ran by grownups that are not him? Isn't it well known that when he's actually involved in trying to deliver that he gets in the way and slows everything down? > delivered exceptional electric vehicles Tesla's ranking for quality and reliability and many cases of fraud regarding warranty repairs would disagree rather heavily with "exceptional". And your analysis ignores his many, many business failures and his overall negative affect on things and culture.

Shotwell deserves 99.99% of the SpaceX credit over Musk. anyone who says differently needs to take off their Musk-coloured glasses also there are very good reasons no one else has released cars on public roads with no mirrors, steering wheels or pedals.
- simondotau 16d agoJohn Carmack says differently. What colour are his glasses?
- Ydarbleoj 16d agoDelivers an ungodly amount of space pollution that's for sure.
- tekla 16d agoThe other posters in this thread seem to blame Glenn Shotwell for that
- rsynnott 16d ago> Changed the energy market across the globe ... Wait, how's that? > delivered exceptional electric vehicles I mean, I'll give you 'exceptional'. Not exceptionally _good_, though.
