Speaking of politics though, it was a bit jarring to see the "USA! USA!" chanting. I get the intent (disliking the government doesn't mean disliking America), but it's kind of awkward to see a large crowd of immigrants doing it as the admin their boss supports is pretty blatantly harassing immigrants regardless of citizenship.
I feel this is definitely important to comment on when also fawning over the guys achievements. Is an achievement made in good faith if it was being investigated for criminal wrongdoing and then managed to make it magically go away.... I think not.
We all know Musk is at best an absolute idiot when it comes to politics who's being manipulated by sycophants, and at worst, he's an evil fascist that is completely fine with wrecking everything that lets his companies actually be successful. But a lot of you guys think that's an excuse to pretend that he doesn't deserve any credit for anything. Even just acknowledging that he has done useful things in the past is apparently fawning over him.
Musk is easy to hate, especially here on HN but mate is the greatest salesman in the history of mankind and there is no one even close 50th. that I think is his greatest achievement even though he’s done a bunch of amazing things
I just don't think every thread about SpaceX needs to be shitted up. It's unpleasant, like someone barging into a thread about some new exciting development/project in India or other developing country to rain on everyone's parade by saying that they should spend that money on getting everyone a toilet.
