It might or might not work long-term, but I wouldn't count on courts to help.
This is a myth.
I’m confused by how your reply makes sense in the context of the parent comment. They weren’t stating a preference, they were linking to simple facts.
Please do better.
They claim that spacex has competitive advantage. They take no stance on condoning spacex’s behavior. Personally I strongly dislike musks behavior, but I appreciate discussion of competitive advantages/disadvantages, independent of moral views. I liked the thread, it adds new info to the conversation.
No, they're not. You're making up things and pretending that they said them.

You're badly breaking the HN guidelines. Please review them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
This is factually incorrect. I did not say anything "snarky" or "mean". I stated facts and pointed out that the poster was breaking the guidelines.
They obviously have a huge token cost advantage of the AI labs they are renting compute to, at least for now while they can charge current crazy rates for GPU compute.
they just increased cache read from 0.30 to 0.50 - this has the biggest impact on agentic coding. Elon companies have the most expensive everything:
xAI sub: $30 when other starts at $20, pro like sub for $300 where other charge $200.
Expensive electric cars, powerwalls, solar roofs when competetive products/better are cheaper.
The Model 3 and Model Y became the highest selling EVs of all time because they were the first below $50K to have long-range and be worth buying.
Until a few years ago, every other sub-$50K EV absolutely sucked.
And then Musk totally abandoned Tesla's original brilliant game plan of using the luxury models to find actual low-cost models (which $50K is not), and completely ceded the future EV market to Chinese companies that understand how to make a better car than Tesla for less money. BYD sells more cars than Tesla.
Model 3 starts at $37K, and Model Y at $40K.
They are #1 and #2 best-selling EVs of all time! So clearly they are affordable.
>BYD sells more cars than Tesla.
Sure, but only by 20%, and only because it also sells low-cost EVs that have less range than anything Tesla sells.
If you exclude BYD EVs with lower range than any Tesla, Tesla outsells BYD by 50%.
Even if you don't, second place (which Tesla still holds) is really not "completely ceded"!
This is meaningless because you're not controlling for amount of subsidized usage or model quality.
Google would like a word. Also, Microsoft.
To say that I somewhat doubt this would be an understatement.
