      Progs upset that Musk (correctly) pointed out that a person who said X was a politician and not one of the divers or other experts engaged in the rescue. Oddly, in other contexts progs get upset when Republican politicians have opinions on science or tech, bc "defer to experts". https://twitter.com/halleluyang/status/1016878597104025600 …

      OK, but Musk is still a huckster and a conman grifting his entire fortune off our tax dollars.

      no the value of tax subsidies his companies have received is < 5% his net worth

      He's never sold a product that wasn't subsidized; his net worth is composed mostly of the inflated stock for his car company that has never and likely will never turn a profit.

      ebay was subsidized? SpaceX was subsidized? Pretty sure it's their competitors, ULA, that gets $1B / yr in subsidies. What subsidies does Boring Company get?

      Look- I get why science fiction people like Elon, but I find the fact that he's built so much on his subsidies repugnant. He had next to nothing to do with eBay, SpaceX is a government contractor and Boring Company is a novelty.

          Yes, but there are a whole bunch of launches with NASA as the customer in there. This is like denying Boeing or OshKosh are government contractors.

          PT Barnum was very good at what he did, as is Musk. That doesn't change the fact that they are in essentially the same profession. I get why people like Musk, but I find his act tiresome and I am not impressed.
