And now the Elon-Haters emerge. I thought we had at least until dark. I'm sure Edison had to deal with the same thing.  :grin:

Regardless of my beliefs and feelings about Musk, pro and/or con, this is also an impressive and important achievement.

SpaceX has received FAA clearance for a 2nd attempt at launching their Starship.

"According to SpaceX, the company is looking to conduct its second Starship launch on Friday, with a launch window beginning at 8:00 a.m. ET — one they're hoping does not end as the first launch did with a "rapid unscheduled disassembly."

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

What a foolish attitude. Who's the baby, again?

Look at all the guy has accomplished in his lifetime. Now compare it to yours.  :uglystupid2:

It's more about what he accomplished lately.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/11/17/elon-musk-x-companies-pulling-ads-anti-semitism/

A growing list of companies has suspended advertising from Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, amid the ongoing fallout over antisemitic content.

A report released Thursday identified several large companies — including tech firms, health-care organizations and sports teams — whose ads appeared next to pro-Nazi posts. The report by the left-leaning nonprofit Media Matters for America said the ads had appeared next to tweets that included memes portraying Nazism as a spiritual awakening and Adolf Hitler quotes.
Tech is not your friend. We are. Sign up for The Tech Friend newsletter.

A day earlier, Musk had tweeted agreement with an antisemitic conspiracy theory. In response to an X user who had blamed the rise in online antisemitism on Jews, alleging they promoted "hatred against whites," the billionaire wrote, "You have said the actual truth."

maybe you should check out what hes been supporting and giving voice to.
Im also pretty sure having a family owned emerald mine backing my ventures would be helpful in funding new companies.
he didnt start Paypal, he didnt start Tesla and hes not an engineer with SpaceX.  hes an investor with a marketing team.
QuoteNow compare it to yours.
Im happy to say I havent lost 40+ billion dollars driving a social media company into the ground.  :Party:

This is so laughably absurd, it doesn't even brook comment. I mean really, you think I support "racist megalomaniacs"? Only someone so blinded by ideology would say something so stupid. Of course, you'll never know the truth, nor care for it, because your brain can't get passed what you read in the NYT and Variety magazine. Try not being a sucker for someone else's agenda with your morning coffee for once.
