Myth: all the stuff accomplished by SpaceX is because of Musk 
Reality: it's because of the people who work at SpaceX. Musk is just a dude with money that gets in the way sometimes

“rocket man bad” 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.

I used to have a positive opinion of elon based on stuff like that.. but.. opinions can change when someone acts like him did in the recent years..

Alchemist. 
Block Builder. 
Creator.
Degen. 
Ethereum dev. 
Farcaster Framer.

so what are things elon did in that make people think he has gone rogue?

💯 agree and like you said to bias two things can be true at one time. the fact that the us air force tried to bury them and never let them emerge is a good story too.

100% with you (i’m super disappointed with who he has become)

but it’s simply untrue that he’s not an engineer and didn’t (quite literally) get things off the ground in the early days
