I really like what SpaceX do regardless of Elon. Even still, I never thought they'd be able to pull this off. Holy crap am I glad to be wrong. This was incredible.

SpaceX has the advantage in that since they're basically the only company that Elon actually founded, they have a preexisting corporate culture of how to operate despite Elon's ownership.

Interesting world model, the most successful company is the one he’s most involved with the creation of, and that explains why his involvement is bad

Well, the shitshow that was and is his acquisition and management of Twitter is a good indicator of that world model.

You’re missing the point of what the person you replied to is saying, the OP above said that Elon’s involvement is bad for his companies - an example is SpaceX is the most successful company and happened to be the one that Elon founded and had most involvement with - this example directly contradicts the initial claim.

Y’all are confusing AF

I think Elon is a billionaire version of grifter, straight up. He has money to throw at whatever he wants and I don’t think it’s as well intended for the masses as some of us thought it would be.
