There is ZERO actual evidence that Elon Musk is any of the things you've accused him of.

ya, none at all.

except for all the actual evidence.  and using Shapiro as a source is about as enlightened as using Brand.
you think its valid and many absolutely do not.

buckle up boy and girls, its going to be a FUN election year!

Did I ever tell you guys about the secretary at work I slept with? She was (still is) one of the most beautiful women I have met.

Looks aren't everything though. It was like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.

Musk's father was a member of the Anti-Aparteid progressive party and it is well-known that he raised his children well and that all of them, Elon included, were against Aparteid

one of my best friends growing up is a Jewish South African.  not one of his family supported aparteid and the sanctions on the country are what led to them leaving.  they were all pretty racist as well.
people can be both things especially where politics and money are involved.

but the average person? I don't get it.

ya, the tesla auto union is doing real well....  my question is this:  if you were alive during the 20s, would you forgive ford's antisemitism just because he made a cheap car?


^"racism", "antisemitism", "transphobia"...these are the claims of the intellectually bankrupt to censor and discredit those of whom they differ ideologically. You all are better than that.

you still never answered the question.

I reject your question as it is a false equivalence. Musk is not antisemitic.

lol

Flight #5 for Starship.  Infreakingcredible.  Watch the booster catch at the end.

[Jarhead0331]

Yeah. Absolutely f*cking amazing. It almost brings me to tears. I don't quite know why...perhaps because while representing an amazing achievement in aeronautics,  it, in part, also represents the future of humanity.

[Redwolf]

Dangit. I normally watch the spaceship launches live, but I missed this one.

[JasonPratt]

Hell of a feat, on the first attempt, too! (After proper iterative design testing and refinement of course.)

Bill Whittle was about in tears, too, JH: "...we're going to Mars!"

Because to make that even vaguely plausible, one thing we need out of maybe thousands, is to have supply rockets arriving every 12 hours or sooner, every day, all year, every year. Personally I expect them to practice on the moon first, and I doubt the future of humanity rests in surviving in conditions worse than Mount Everest -- not without learning how to survive permanently with high functioning civilization in our deserts and oceans first -- but yep, this is how you get to Mars!

Beautiful! What a triumph. That should cause some Acid Reflux cases in Russia and China.

We're launching a spacecraft to see if Jupiter's ice-covered moon is capable of supporting life! : https://www.twitch.tv/nasa

Not SpaceX but it is a launch ...

Should be live any minute.

[Sir Slash]

Cool.
