If only other babies could launch and land rockets. Call Musk what you want, but he is not a baby.

It is incredible that I have to explain this and that that is the part you object to. So you’re fine with despots, but “man-baby” is where you draw the line?
Either way, your objection makes absolutely zero difference to the point.
A man in the emotional state you described wouldn't be able to lead a company like SpaceX -- he would throw a tantrum when a rocket blows up instead of doubling down on perfecting it.
>So you’re fine with despots, but “man-baby” is where you draw the line?
I'm Russian and what's happening in the US government is your problem, we have our own problems. However, I have the respect for a man who has advanced the space industry so much even though it directly hurts my country -- in the end, we all are a part of humanity and the wars will end some day.
Clearly you haven’t been following his actions. This isn’t new. See for example when he called a rescuer a pedophile or when he told companies to not advertise on Twitter, or a myriad of other instances. You can literally search for “tantrum” with his name and find more examples than you’ll know what to do with.
> what's happening in the US government is your problem
Don’t assume everyone you talk to on the internet lives in or is a citizen of the USA.
> we have our own problems
Including a despot. Which is unfortunate. You shouldn’t wish it on anyone else.
> we all are a part of humanity and the wars will end some day.
Indeed they will. Probably because we’ll all die.
I'm not saying that there isn't skill involved with hiring smart people, but I don't think it's correct to act like he single-handedly invented self-landing rockets.
Elon's stuff might be due to some kind of "skill", but that's not implied by him "betting his entire fortune" and winning.
Dude, Musk founded Space X. It's because of these kinds of ridiculous comments that I find it hard to take the Left (at least the ones on the internet) seriously.
