Soft paywall, more of a minor speedbump.
This is hard to dismiss as a mere “hit piece”. The main point is some people expressing concern that one erratic person, sometimes seemingly pro-Russian, has so much control over important infrastructure. The main example is Ukraine, but Taiwan is mentioned too. Despite measured negativity, it is also mentioned how Starlink has helped Ukraine, with a positive comment from Ukraine’s digital minister.
It also has some nice animations and pictures (though the Starlink interconnect diagram looks hopelessly wrong).
Same here… bring back early-spacex elon. It seems like he forgot about his dream colonizing mars and focusing on destroying the world instead. sigh.
He was just better concealed behind the propaganda. he’s always been a POS
Nah, if he is always a fraud from the start, he wouldn’t be able to save Tesla and make SpaceX very dominant technologically like today.
He become real shit after pandemic. He feels like a god because spacex successes and Tesla’s stock somehow balooned while others tanked. Then it goes downhill from there. From his defiance against covid protocol, his participation on crypto shit, twitter saga, etc. He is in a state when he think he can bend reality according to his will. And he will try to prove it at the cost of everything he has. Sigh.
