One man who got money, has money and a cult following.

Of course he is flexible enough mentally and ignorant enough to disrupt markets, sure and for this he got rich.

But why does every Musk follower ignore all the bad things he leaves in his march forward?

All the humans around the Space-X 'city'?

Kids and Humans affected by USAID and DOGE?

His lying around everything he promised to people?

This thread is about an achievement made by the thousands of people working at one of his companies. Elon is only a small part of the equation.

Also, I don't understand what you're even trying to say by "ignorant enough to disrupt markets". There are plenty of rich people flinging money around, few have achieved anything near what Musk did. Look at Blue Origin, which is still playing catch-up despite SpaceX already proving everything and Bezos throwing basically infinite money at it.

Its a comment and comments reflect discussions.

Every success of his companies, give Elon Musk power and deminishes everyone who is or was affected negativly by Elon Musk.

What would you expect if HN had an article about Fat Boy launched successfully on Japan?

Pure positive comments?
