Anyone remember when he spent all his time talking about colonising mars? That was his big thing and the future. Whatever happened to that?

Then spacex got government funding. Now AI is the big thing.

I’ve still yet to see any of his great visions he’s actually delivered on.

He took all the money he was going to use to do that, put it in a duffelbag with X written on the side, and burned it.

Isn’t something like that why Elon got in trouble with the Tesla board? Something about using Tesla as a bank to fund space x.

Space X which he owns a controlling stake in, unlike Tesla.

Notice he has never actually volunteered to go up in a SpaceX rocket. I don’t think he’ll be going to Mars.

Tis a shame, Musk would be perfect to colonize Mars. Send him there. But forget to send women.

I can think of some women who could go with him. Elizabeth Holmes, for example.

SpaceX is a fucking trashfire too. The fact that NASA has contracts with them disturbs me greatly.

Very much in progress if you follow news on Starship. Actually going too fast in my opinion, I don’t think it’s safe enough.

On the other hand, Starship is not fast enough, if I recall correctly, SpaceX claimed to Nasa that they’d be landing on the moon by now

They definitely have their setbacks and delays. They sure keep trying though.
