    Because with the exception of the cyber truck, Tesla’s are some of the best EV cars on the market.

    Because SpaceX is the biggest successful space company and is currently the only option for launching and returning astronauts into space, unless you want to rely on the Russians.

    Because StarLink is the only service capable of providing internet to remote parts of the world without expensive, bulky equipment.

    And lastly, because most people are capable of recognizing that Musk himself isn’t the one that designed any of this and that an army of engineers and scientists are behind most of it.

      Let’s be honest though, the work of Tesla and spacex is because of its amazingly talented engineers, and absolutely not because of Elon musk, if anything right now he is only a black mark on Tesla.

      Tesla’s are some of the best EV cars on the market.

      They claim a lot of shit. And if half of it was true they might be the best…

      But all of Musk’s companies overpromise and under deliver.

      Because StarLink is the only service capable of providing internet to remote parts of the world without expensive, bulky equipment.

      Yeah… Because anywhere except the most remote places have better options. And if we’re gonna talk about Starlink then we have to talk about the absolutely insane amount of space debris it creates and how that can be an exponentially growing problem for decades.

      Musk himself isn’t the one that designed any of this and that an army of engineers and scientists are behind most of it.

      And if all Musk did was pay their salaries, you’d be right

      But he has a long history of showing up. Overriding the experts, and insisting what he thought of two seconds ago is better. Literally any of his companies would be better without him, that’s not a got take.

      So while Musk is sticking his thumb in every pie, why would you ever order a slice before knowing if it had the thumb hole?

        Doesnt matter, the products are still good. Just because you have a hate boner for Musk that you can’t handle doesn’t make your wishes for the products to fail true.
