Why is society being cucked by this man? All he did was manage to suck tax dollars and get rockets to land after use.
He is one of the few people that are trying to push technology to do great things.
I find the praise he gets annoying too, but I also give the man his due credit. He has a rare combination of business sense and technical sense.
Juan Cox
This, while a great achievement, has sold his ideas and views to idiots out there. Anyone with enough time and money could of done this as well but its ridiculous this man is given credit for those he hired to make it an accomplishment
Well this is true that he has shown great interest, I find it now that he trying to pull out anything out of his ass to just generate more hype for his business instead of making any real progress. All he has been doing is combing old tech.
Daniel Scott
See, that last thing you mentioned is not an insignificant achievement. The man commercialized electric cars. What you're complaining about, how expensive they are is, to many, overshadowed by the fact they even exist. He's hit-or-miss, but who could fault him for reinvesting a tremendous fortune for the lofty prospects of advancing fucking space technology? I don't see a lot of other billionaires giving that much of a shit. The layman will appreciate him more for what he aims to do, what he promotes, than what he may accomplish. To many he's an inspiration. Meanwhile you're complaining on a Taiwanese Terrace Farming Forum because you're worried about what "normies" think.

>Anyone with enough time and money could of done this There aren't many private companies in the world capable of designing, building, and launching their own rockets. Yeah, anyone can do this, but who else has?
Oliver Wright
>Space X is the only company interested in advancing space technologies. He not the only one to do so. There is also many that are investing in just more than rocket landings as well in the fields.
When it comes to electric vehicles there are plenty of other companies that are working on it and producing meaningful and quality results compared to what he is offering, such as the Chevy Bolt. Tesla is Apple tier shit.
>Tesla is Apple tier shit. That may be true. Remember Bill Gates? He didn't have great technology, but he was a cut throat businessman, and frankly that matters a great deal. Superior technology has often been eschewed by better marketing and popularization. Not many engineers or scientists have that mentality. Most just want to work on their project in the lab, or have a niche startup and hope to survive.
Levi Barnes
>first private company to build a liquid fuel rocket in 2008 Hmmm nah buddy. They are not the first, there has been other companies that build launch vehicles for the government before Space X.
Thomas Clark
He's accomplished more than you ever will.
Hunter Rodriguez
>for the government this is important. this is the point I was making. other companies developed launch systems with heavy government funding.
Yet he has been receiving government funding through it all.

No one can. Because quality made vehicles can not be sold at affordable prices. Why? Because they are quality made you fucking brainlet.

No, it is you who is the brainlet.

>electric cars are just not enviornmentally friendly as they claim they are when it comes to manufacturing
First of all you are just speculating, since you don't know how those cars are manufactured. Second, is Tesla the only manufactured car? Are ICE cars created through magic, or how? Third, you are just a smug, smog loving envious fagot. KYS piggot (piggot = pig + faggot)

The cars are manufactured like any other car and that's the point. Making car produces a lot more CO2 than using a car.
And the problem with "green" cars is that every new wave of them makes the middle and upperclass hippie faggots to dump their car they got 2 years ago and buy the new even friendlier one that produces 0.0001% less waste.
Well, news flash, it would be a million times more green if you just kept your old car because getting a new one means that on your name there is a production of CO2 of scales you couldn't even imagine, just to make your new car. Even if you used that new green car for 100 years you wouldn't offset the extra CO2 you pumped into the air by demanding a brand new shiny car.
>inb4 well even if I had not bought it it would still have been made
Nope because these hipster cars are pre-order and even if they weren't if no one was buying the glorified adult-toys then after the first wave, they would disappear. Thanks for contributing more to climate change than every other person in this board combined.

What I don't understand is why normies defer to him on anything science related. Sure I respect his work and business, but if I want an opinion on the feasibility of science I'm going to trust actual fucking scientists not a ceo.
Gavin Gonzalez
it's one of those signs that shows you someone is a popsci brainlet and not actually interested in science

>Why do so many normies idolize this faggot?
reusable rockets is not reason enough?
sure he has some crazy ideas but he is also revolutionizing space launch industry, so idolize away

>he thinks people buy electric cars because CO2
ICE cars are harmful to our health, while electrics are not, because they don't produce smog, or nano particles of the nastiest cancer inducing chemicals.
Also KEK at your "manufacturing a car produces more CO2 then if you run it for 100 years". I didn't know you need the total energy output of a nuclear power plant for a month, just to produce a car. DO you really think this board is full of idiots, who would believe such a thing ?
And buying a car built like a tank, with better performance than all other cars in its class, and super cheap to run, is not a hipster thing. It's something that a responsible person does.
The only adult toys are ICE cars, which is easy to see, since most people who preach about them, love that they "sound cool man", or love working on them daily because they are such overcomplicated machines that break down a lot. They're nothing more than a time waster adult toy.
I rather have a car that has real power, works the same at all altitudes, doesn't produce noise, doesn't produce exhaust fumes, is simpler to maintain, has better stability because of possibility of multiple motors instead of just one giant engine and tons of complicated linkage, and runs on electricity witch is the cheapest form of energy.
You can buy whatever you want, if you like spending money on old and expensive technology. But hey, at least you are "cool" when you rev the engine. And you have the audacity to call other people hipster.

Tesla will probably continue existing as an extremely expensive rich people's car, but there's no way it'll ever get anyway near even. Based Elon is fooling venture memesters into funding the electric revolution with no return

Say what you will user, but landing a rocket and reusing it is one of the biggest leaps forward in our spaceflight capabilities that you will ever see. That alone is worth some respect.
Leo Roberts
he says he's going to do something and then does it
he was bullied by his father and by "youths", and found refuge in programming and science
he's also quite humble and charming, but the arrogance that comes through merely compounds the sense that one is viewing somebody authentic.

I wish he would invest in food and fix the food industry. I'm still hoping for a better meal replacement. Soylent doesn't taste good and a solid version is necessary because of jaw atrophy from the lack of chewing, Elon should fix this.
Evan Murphy
The cacao version is pretty good. You can chew gum to move your jaw.
Luke Powell
Because he puts tons of fucking money into progress.
Not many people do that.
Connor Morales
The answer comes from each one of us. For starts, i know that i am not doing nearly as much as he was doing by my age. He got the balls to do it(not actually himself, but you get the ideia), while we only dream about it and comment on his work
Jaxon Wright
He has already made space launch cheaper by fucking over ULA. Oh and he pushed for rocket reuse and got it.
