Outstanding engineers care of doing engineering and making progress. And having a leader they can see burning for a mission and a goal. A leader who gets down and dirty with them.

Boeing does much much more of that.

Why don’t they deliver, in spite of them being decades more experienced in this area? Why don’t they deliver in spite of getting much more money from the government and from your mentioned complex?

But he’s the catalyst for it all. There are other billionaires in this game too, why can’t they replicate his success? Why can’t they hire his engineers? Why can’t they deliver the results?

Elon is into politics because it’s politics who stood in his way of progress first.

He’s imho afraid and rightfully so, Twitter was a clear example of why.

We just needed more people like Elon.

Feel good, bragging rights, entitlement

About as useful as the carbon credits themselves

I meant to give Elon credit for being able to deliver a viable program where nobody else can.

Kinda is, and it’s all Elon’s fault.

“Ultimately, NASA felt it was not able to understand why the thrusters malfunctioned and decided that it was too risky to return its astronauts to Earth aboard Starliner, which will attempt to return uncrewed.”

Too risky? Stranded? Rescued (hopefully)?

Thank you Elon!

The next year is long away, let’s see how o1 changes the things. The side with the upside drives the employment conditions in the end.

This ^^

This is a good example of very limited thinking.

CrowdStrike made it possible to have ”ls ~/“ take 6 seconds. On the top of the line m3 Max, after a restart, with no other applications running besides a terminal window. Well done, I guess.

Why? Really don’t understand why. Especially considering what they claim to monitor.

Such a good illustration of how value is placed beneath personal opinions.

When there’s nothing left to do, one does what’s needed, especially to protect the Brazilian employees from being caught in the middle.

Not surprised to see some problems. Still sad to see security take a backseat as opposed to convenience.

The employees is a very important attack vector, we had multiple incidents, after they downloaded the wrong kind of stuff.

Are you being sarcastic? WEI is pretty dead

No way, I mean… the press man, the press, UN etc.

/s

I am not paying for traditional news, they are not doing their job anymore.

I’m paying for journalism on Substack and X.

No.

From an exhibition? Seriously?

38000 enjoyed it.

A few hundreds protested it. 500 maybe? That’s less than 2% of the 38K that attended it.

Guess we can always get ~2% to protest any event of more than 10K attendees.

In spite of everything thrown his way at every step, he keeps delivering. I love humanity.

It’s indeed his success primarily, it’s thanks to him primarily. And for that there’s a huge amount of praise that he has earned.

But it’s not due to him alone, but also due to the people that he managed to attract, hire and keep. Due to the people he passed the responsibility onto, and just as much due to the processes and philosophy he put in place. Alone having the people doesn’t guarantee success on this scale, you need the magic stuff, and the vision.

Nobody else did what he has done today with Starship or in the past with enough other things. And when it comes to costs and capabilities of Starship, nobody is even close. Not even close.

I'm not sure about the headline, but they will for sure play this milestone in the history of humankind down.

One of the humans who did the most for humankind. Being called names.

Shame.
