What a lovely neighbor.

You were once very enthusiastic about Elon's space endeavors.

Shame it happened.
There are always many such occurrences in every space programs.
Costly, will hopefully help the next launch.

First launch of this rocket. If you have no problems on the first launch do you trust the design? No! Not a failure as they probably have a lot of really good data.

Not a fan of Musk, but my understanding is that for this initial test they were happy it made it off the ground at all.

Unlike you, apparently, I prefer people that don't go full Nazi at the slightest provocation.

If I were deciding whether SpaceX gets another dollar from the US Treasury it would require that Musk has nothing to do with it. (Gratuitous insult deleted.)

Looks like the market is saying the new car smell and his rocket bilge wash has lost it's cachet.

"Shares of Tesla tumbled nearly 10% Thursday following its disappointing earnings report on Wednesday evening, as it reported that its profit margins fell below the 20% mark that analysts had been forecasting. The price cuts might have allowed it to increase sales volume, but revenue was down from fourth-quarter levels as a result, and which led to the squeeze on profits."

Elon dudebro has no business in the retail market. Whether it's cars or emeralds.

Just looked at your nazi charge. It seems that there is something there lurking under free speech.

Anyhow I do not think the US government is going to be that particular, that holy.

Check "Operation Paperclip".

Mr Hyperloop is a dreamer whom the military industry dearly cherishes.

There is a stampede (except Toyota) into making of electric cars. TESLA's big profit margin could not continue. Anyone but Cathie Wood could see that.

WTF she is still hyping Tesla.
