βrocket man badβ is the prevailing narrative, but long before most of you had an opinion, Elon was leading the tiny, scrappy team that put the first private spacecraft into orbit (Falcon 1) using his own money. the story is incredible, and Elon deserves credit for the unprecedented achievement. https://www.amazon.com/Liftoff-Desperate-Early-Launched-SpaceX/dp/0062979973

I give credit for that achievement, funded by government money fwiw. The same person who is still on the teat, now is a cosplay libertarian.

totally agree. He gets so much undeserved hate, people don't realize he's not only a great businessman but also a brilliant engineer. He's way more involved in the technical / engineering side of things than most CEOs
