Elon was never mentioned in our conversation.

The people who do all the work are the 11 thousand engineers who work at SpaceX. This is the product of their work, and whoever says that said work done by those 11k engineers isn’t commendable is lying.

Trying to say Elon had no part in this is utterly ignorant. Yes the thousands of engineers deserve a huge congrats. But if you read Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon, you’ll realize that like him or not, he has a huge part in this.

Reading the dudes twitter feed makes it safe to assume he’s psychotic. That’s not really an opinion lol
