I was super negative when it started because I expected the initial release that they pulled an all-nighter for (according to his Twitter feed) to have been more than just like a sketch of an idea typed in Word.
Now that things are moving forward, my opinion has radically changed. That, and in the meantime his car won the Consumer Report's Best Buy, SpaceX darn near landed a rocket vertically in the ocean, and ground has been broken on their spaceport.

- 27182818284 11y agoFrom Elon's tweets it certainly looked like all they had was that small document, which was less in content than most white papers that are often released.
- greglindahl 11y agoAh. That's a big leap from very little data!

I think this is what biased me: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/366964441159438337?lang=en https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/366964441159438337?lang=... I remember then seeing the doc after that Tweet and thinking "You and others worked all night on that?" It reminds me of that interview with Jerry Seinfeld where he mentions the worst thing you can do is introduce a comic as "The funniest guy in the world" because it biases the audience right before you come out on stage.
