Not all empathy is good. Don’t waste it on people who wouldn’t slow down if they ran you over.

It was the absolute shamelessness with which that CEO disregarded safety, fired people who tried to make it safe, cut corners, lied to reporters about “partnering with Boeing” (they debunked it today), and on and on.

In unrelated news, Elon Musk looking for anyone wanting to go to Mars.

Or be on the waitlist to get a Neurolink implant.

Test pedestrians, please remain calm near the self driving Tesla.

I mentally separate SpaceX from the pissbaby these days. Because the people working there are actual fucking geniuses. They are paving the way to make access to space more affordable with re-usability. We need that. Elon can fuck off though.

Unwise. Elon is in charge. All of those actual fucking geniuses are there at his pleasure and may be fired at his whim.

Many beautiful things are fragile, or hold the seeds of their toxicity and decay. Doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy them while they last.

So long as Space-X is doing good(which likely coincides with Musk being otherwise distracted) I’ll be rooting for them to do more. When the bubble breaks, it breaks.

Problem: when SpaceX's “bubble breaks”, people will die.
