Same here. SpaceX does impressive work. The rest of Elon's companies? Not so much for me. He's such a polarizing figure folks can't seem to detach the worthwhile things he's done from all his other flaws. Elon isn't

I understand the perspective of people who view their profession as solely a job, checking out after their 9-5 and doing other things with their life. This isn't me. I enjoy the work. Idealistically, I think I can make a large impa
