    It's probably his ego and lack of trust in others that he wants to control everything, thus getting credit for everything, flip-side to that is he also has to own the failures himself too, which I'm sure he's good with.

    Entrepreneur creates 2 large companies and approx 30,000 high paying jobs in this country, so someone remind me, why are we rooting for Elon's downfall?

    Yeah I get that a lot of people think he's Obama's boy because he got set up with a ton of taxpayer dollars to pursue his visions. I can't blame him or anyone else who jumps on free funding, as long as they use it constructively and for the purpose for which it was intended. This guy is not Solyndra. Rooting against him is a bit like rooting against Howard Hughes. Or John DeLorean lol.

    Even if he "fails", his work with rockets and cars will most likely create industry standards.

    The irony is, I don't believe that I've ever heard DJT ever tweet anything bad about the man or his exploits.

    Ugh I was really hoping Trump might use him as a beacon to show how private sector outperforms the public sector (SpaceX has accomplished more in a decade than NASA in the past 30 years at a fraction of the cost).

    Did you watch the video? He basically said just that without putting NASA down, no?

    Yeah, I meant more like I hoped Elon and Trump would form a bit of a relationship, they started to in the beginning but I think the Paris Accord thing made Elon leave that council Trump formed. I just think Trump and Elon would make perfect sense for Trump. With Elon he could win over the conservatives by showcasing the prowess of capitalism vs socialism and he would win over a lot of liberals with benefits to science and the environment. Just me going off on a tangent with pie in the sky thoughts though lol.

    I hear you, there's no telling what type of relationship they have or don't have behind the scenes. With the addition of the Space Force, a lot of this stuff is top secret and hush hush so that may have something to do with it. I'm just speculating though.

    100% success. They were able to land all 3 boosters including one on a drone ship in the middle of the ocean. It is quite a sight to see those rockets landing like that. Dude is out here catching rockets with drone ships, ridiculous.

    Yup. He does have a great brain. Which occasionally requires a toque or two so as to relax.

    dude if you think DJT is a lying idiot pimp, Spermin' Herman will make him look like Mitt Romney lol. I can't believe that guy is serious about running, he's got more skeletons hidden than John Wayne Gacy.

    Interesting video about an independent dude who salvages and repairs Tesla's and the issues and resistance from Tesla he encounters. Enjoy:

    Intriguing vid, brilliant guy, the spirit of American ingenuity & free market economy still exists; thanks for posting.

    Thank gawd that guy is obsessed with Teslas - - if he were a serial killer, he'd never be caught.
