There is literally not many things in life I hope so much for than starship success. Sounds strange perhaps but I just love space and I hope it succeeds.
Funnily I absolutely despise Musk at the same time for being absolute buffoon
We're days away from the SpaceX IPO that will make Musk even richer than he is now. I don't trust him with that money.
Last time he got a bunch of money he used it to fund SpaceX and Tesla.
Now also Neuralink.
It’s hard to imagine anyone else who’s done more for the planet with his money than Musk.
He's directly responsible for the deaths of several hundred thousand people via DOGE and their abrupt withdrawal and support of food aid.

How do we take it away from him?
I trust his gargantuan insecurity
Sometimes the flaws of someone make him completely predictable. Very trustworthy to repeatedly pour billions in an attempt to become someone he fantasizes to be.
There are innumerable amount of assholes in history that sold things we use daily, sometimes at the expense of original inventors. It is hard to cope with the idea that greed, ambition and ruthlessness are the building blocks of everything that stands around us.
Sometimes it makes me want to reject everything I know of good and human and feed these traits until they fill the hollow parts of mind with wealth, empty fame and too many lonely sunsets on a private island.
His stated and oft-repeated goal is to save mankind by making it interplanetary.
It doesn't seem to be about personal aggrandizement. He has built no monuments to himself, has not named his company "Musk Inc", he doesn't run for office, etc.
Musk does not own a yacht or even a house.
> lonely
If he feels lonely, he can message me and I'd treat him to dinner.
> I absolutely despise Musk at the same time for being absolute buffoon
Buffoonery is harmless, why despise him for that?
Tell that to the 100k+ people he killed by abruptly and illegally halting usaid
What I've heard is it's "thousands", "100k+", and "millions", which doesn't sound like anything trustworthy.
Besides, that's not what "buffoonery" means.
