Elon Musk: Hero or Villian?

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

Elon Musk tweeted that he’d be willing to go on The Daily Show if his segment aired unedited. Jon Stewart agreed, saying that the interview could be as long or as short as Musk wanted. I’d love to see Stewart asking Musk some tough questions.

I sure hope DOGE is making sure Uncle Sam isn't paying the $100 million-a-pop rocket explosions from the Starship debacle. If we had that many failures on initial launches of the shuttle, they would have moth-balled that program.

Switch the SpaceX logo for a NASA one and suddenly Musk's tune would not be so hopeful and understanding of the process.

I mentioned my concerns about the costs to my brother(who works for a rocket booster startup), and he said the real money-waster is the SLS rocket which(according to his figures) we've spent $25 billion dollars on. Each launch projected to cost $2.5 billion.

Elon Musk to Give 2 Petition Signees $1M Checks

Elon Musk on Friday said he will give $1 million checks to two Wisconsin residents who signed a petition expressing their opposition to "activist judges."

Musk, whose super PAC offered Wisconsinites $100 to sign the petition, made the announcement with a post on X.

The SpaceX and Tesla CEO wrote his afternoon post to clarify that recipients would be people who signed his super PAC's petition.

It seems this is criminal in Wisconsin and they are looking at prosecuting. Seriously doubt he gets anything more than a wrist slap but whatever.

See he sold twitter? All stock to xAI another company he owns. He fooled investors into giving him $20b to "create" something that already exists better elsewhere and then used the valuation of this fraudulent business to buy himself out of the hole he created to get trump elected. He is a better grifter than the orange clown

Tesla takedown with protests planned across the globe.
I get that people are protesting in the U.S., but why should anyone in Germany or France or the UK care if Musk influences DOGE?

why should Germany, France and the UK be against the guy funding far right propaganda, far right parties in their countries and enabling Russian aggression while simultaneously creating a massive worldwide economic crisis? I'm stumped

so you are saying a man voicing his opinion and putting money into his beliefs should be met with destructive protest .

100% yes. Guy is actively trying to destabilize the planet to install fascist oligarchy around the world. I personally hope this all ends with him begging in the street for scraps.

and since I still cant edit I'll add here. Why are you using the word "destructive" no one in that article is asking to "destroy" anything. Only one being destructive here is Elon tanking the company he lies about founding. I the Tesla board wasn't loaded with his cronies he'd have been booted as CEO months ago.
