Besides, I'm hoping that this all becomes a non-issue and that proof-of-stake becomes the dominant strategy. PoW is just so wasteful.
What Elon did was to buy an already created electronic car company which was founded from two other guys and sell their cars, which is not very remarkable in itself. Space X reusing rockets has really not shown us that it's in any way more safe and cheaper in the long run than simply creating new rockets.
What Elon is really good at however is market manipulation, stock pumping and PR.
If all it takes is money and a team, and Elon can't take credit for anything, why hasn't Blue Origin absolutely demolished SpaceX by now. Jeff has had billions while SpaceX repeatedly almost went under during its early phase.
What I find more curious is how so many are parroting attacks like this using almost the exact same points. Is there a youtube video out there that's compiled all of these? Or is there a talking points memo?
It really feels like an organized psychological operation designed to discredit and destroy Elon. Are you in the employ of oil company interests, Exxon or Chevron? Perhaps big auto? GM, Chrysler, or Ford? Or maybe the defense industry? I know Boeing, ULA, General Dynamics and the rest of the competitors for NASA contracts (hello US Military Industrial Complex) would both love to see Elon's head on a spike.
if not are you aware that you're blindly spouting prepared messaging?
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
