not to mention Elon himself pretty much saying so, as often as possible, to anyone who will listen
Elon is a huckster, everything about him is a scam one of these days you guys will believe me
Hucksters don’t build leading businesses from first principles in major rocketry.
And satellites.
And cars.
And batteries.
And computer interfaces.
And AI.
And tunneling.
And solar
.
… and it all having market valuation on the order of $1T.
you are completely correct, hucksters do none of those things. Elon is a huckster. He has accomplished precisely zero of those things. Checks out
yeah, Tim, this is an utterly retarded take he has developed spaceships that put cargo in orbit for a fraction of the old price he has delivered astronauts to the ISS he has cars on the road he has ... how can you not see this?
I'll just encourage you all to learn more about this, the whole empire is a house of cards Truly I'm not trying to stir the pot, sorry that I insulted your hero
May have been a house of cards. That’s expedient iterative engineering: get to a deliverable FAST, then next deliverable faster/better. Don’t confuse that with scam. He has to get to profitable ASAP else cash flow ends; that takes risk. “Minimum viable product” matters.
@ByrneHobart talks about this all the time - hype is a line of credit that lets you scale, then you pay back the loan with accomplishments
Bingo. * Don’t confuse hype with scam. * Hype is marketing. Scam is reneging on sales contracts. Musk has delivered where orders have been placed. Stock price matches future production growth trajectory.
