Without Elon they would still be up there. I view him as the Leonardo da Vinci of our time.

YES! Also a bit more contemporary - Edison and Jobs.

And there is concrete evidence that he offered SpaceX to rescue the astronauts a month or two after the Starliner failed - but was rejected. And during a video conference with the two while up in the ISS - they both agreed, knew the truth.

There had been a scheduled return last year, that was expected to take place in late February/early March.

If Elon had divested and left SpaceX, the astronauts would have been returned by SpaceX without Elon.

I don't care how much money he has. It doesn't impress me. SpaceX doesn't impress me. Musk is not an engineer, he's not a decent coder, he can't even play a video game without being caught cheating. His claim to fame isn't that he "did" anything. It's that he "owned" things.

All he is, is a spoiled rich bigot who's good at buying companies. He didn't "create" a thing. Comparing him to DaVinci is like comparing your favorite pet hamster to an elephant. The only thing they have in common is that they're both animals.

Now that is a stretch. Leonardo da Vinci is one of the best minds of all time. Elon Musk is not even in the same league.

OMG. Elon IS the Head Engineer of SpaceX. A true Rocket Scientist. He started from zero and is responsible for extraordinary products and services to the World. Simply amazing. He does not simply buy companies…. Yikes. Didn’t create a thing? Another OMG.

He WAS the Darling of SO many before a couple years ago. What changed? Well we all know.

The Anger is astounding. As is the horrible acts to Tesla offices and autos. We have a Tesla which is amazing.
Comparing him to an animal, well I’ll leave that be….omg.

We’ll let history sort all that out.
Elon is a genius and proves that be all his accomplishments each day. He is a peaceful company builder hoping for a peaceful and prosperous world. Doesn’t anyone ever do research or view neutral news sources???
He may not be in the same league but, boy, he is right up there. To people who know and honor the truth.

History will not be kind to Musk unless he and /or his fans are writing it.


Einstein, Oppenheimer and many Noble prize winners have done far more for the world than Elon Musk.
