  • No, SpaceX is objectively a failure

    It was paid 3 Billion to bring us to Mars by now and by now where are we? If I’m extremely gracious, I’d say we’re at 1% of that. At the rate they’re going they can barely launch rockets that don’t explode, and they still do stupid and dumb stuff and them brag about the minor things that went well while cheering the explosions.

    Compare SpaceX to the fucking Apolo program that had to figure out everything from scratch, to do every calculation with a ruler, no good manufacturing techniques and see what they got in a decade. What did SpaceX do in this last decade?

    He promised he’d make space travel 10-100 times cheaper and so far he sold it for more expensive after receiving grant after grant.

    The guy is a fucking scammer. SpaceX arguably has some good engineers, but that’s it. Wake me up when they manage to get a rocket in high earth orbit reliably





  • Jellyfin, for one, comes to mind

    Maybe it should be easier for people to donate something to open source software. Maybe on the Linux command line there should be a message from apt that certain projects could use your financial help, of you want to.

    I doubt many people would be pissed if projects just ask for a small donation





  • And that last paragraph sort of nails it on the head

    Musk is a scammer, he always has been. He got lucky a few times which landed us to today. He has close to zero engineering knowledge and is a drug junkie to top of off.

    Look close at all his companies, look at what they all have done since he got in

    Tesla… How many new models were made since he got in? And no, he didn’t found it, he bought himself in and through some scheming got rid of the real CEO. How many models are his brain child? One. Yes, that one. That is Elon Musk. Tesla robotics? You mean the guys in spandex suits or the shitty pre 1990 robots that are controlled by some guys that were in highschool 3 years ago? There is nothing of substance there. The robo taxis from yeeaaars ago that will now be there next year? Uh huh… Tesla truck? We’re still waiting!

    SpaceX? They got billions to get us to Mars. They never go beyond the super easy part in rocketry, low earth orbit. Anything beyond that is where shit gets really hard and we’re still waiting. All I saw was billions of tax dollars wasted in blown up rocket after blown up rocket and SpaceX cheering nluke idiots over a blown up banana. Hell, they obliterated a launchpad because btgey were dumb enough to not understand flame diverters…

    Boring? We dig tunnels 1000 times cheaper but it must be just a dumb tunnel with no chance for escape or survival. We can add disco lights though, cool right!

    Solar roofs? The ones that didn’t work and right now there is this huge court case about it?

    The guy is beyond stupid, been saying this over a decade now, and somehow he keeps falling up
