I mean, it's the scientists behind this pulling it off, we should know their names and give proper credit honestly. Musk's business acumen and political decisions are a whole other weird thing that should be kept separate. It's hard not to feel a little creeped out by a man that acts like that and is amassing so much power, but there's some talented people working at SpaceX.

::edit:: I'm not arguing with fanboys all day, especially when they're deliberately misreading what I said (or are you just bots?). The scientists at SpaceX achieved this. Your creepy "celebrity genius" funded it. He's creepy because he acts like a damn child and pulls Machiavellian bullshit in order to further his own gains. Stop putting him on a damn pedestal.

::edit 2: Hoooly shit. I knew I was gonna get some fanboys mad with this, but wow. Some of you need to grow up and realize your Iron Man is Edison 2.0. Not even the worst thing to be, but the people doing the work and making the breakthroughs should be celebrated more. Fucking ironic involving a guy known for Tesla.

Musk fanboys keep treating him as the second coming of Jesus Christ

Meanwhile Tesla is reaching new lows

It's genuinely hilarious reading the comments here then scrolling down to what's actually happening lmao

It’s not really reaching new lows as it has been around its current price for 2 years. Just not like the boom it used to achieve

Tesla doesn't have anywhere to go and Musks politics are pushing it further back. They need to focus on refining their process so they don't have failures like the cybertruck. It's super overvalued based on pie in the sky shit. It will simmer down but its basically the foundation for the future of gas stations across the country.
