wait, weren't you for free speech? isn't everything "just another theory"? everything is up for debate then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yes, the mountain hovel is finally inhabitable. i mean in a reasonable way. as long as he doesn't take his toys and go home OR gives full access to palantir (who says he hasn't already?). "free speech for me but not for thee" is his modus operandi. he taunts democracies but bows to tyrants whenever it's convenient. please note this and note it well
anyway reusable rockets etc are his best project of all
shit that disappoints:
#1 tantrums over everything. i mean. please. key person risk the major fly in the ointment. the fact that HE is the product is the problem here. if he could remove his ego from the things, it would be glorious
#2 the twatter takeover, an ugly circus. an autistic in charge of social anything is peter's principle incarnate
#3 electric cars are NOT going to "save the world". tesla might be the greatest meme stock ever. valuation and fundamentals do not match. self driving, whatever. is the car the product or is elon the product? or is the product some amazing vaporware always just around the corner? or is the product *the vaporware suckers*? (seems to me it's ultimately the latter)
*** when i say up for debate i really mean checking the fundamentals vs the hype. because according to the buttlickers he can do no wrong and everything is marvels. but alternative facts must be compared against actual facts ***
#4 there is still no planet b and if he wants to send 100k people to mars please let him go in the first group because of #1 again
the hole under vegas has been made fun of plenty but to me ultimately who cares. discovery requires experimentation and whatever, it's just a harmless hole. only please don't lie about it
the brain interface is promising, but terrifying because he's the one who holds the reins. what if he has a tantrum and fucks with your switches? hahahhaha. goddamn. who wants his mind fisted by angry elon? hard pass
that is the problem right there. a boy genius is still a boy. and he likes to have his way and never be told no. key person risk rears its ugly head. i'd rather have the predictable consistency of a bureaucracy over the caprices of an individual when it comes to regulatory policies
so: i'll believe it when i see it. religious types say: no, you have to believe it in order to see it. same as scams! but okay maybe for some things you must have faith lol. it's just that i'm not religious, and even if i were, he would not be my god
boy genius does have some nice toys though, yes. he bought and broke the social toy over a tantrum and continues to have tantrums and everybody better run and hide when he does or he'll bring his thunderbolts lol
tldr:
