I LOVE his projects, I’m a fanboy.

That SINGLE photo of him with the joint..?

He went from brash idealist to unsteady pothead faster than the model S.

I think people are now going to splash that onto his EVERY new project.

Fuel tanks no where near big enough. Off by close to an order of magnitude.

Maybe he's planning to use Red Mercury as a fuel.

I’m willing to wager heavily that among the engineers, the “F” doesn’t really stand for “Falcon”.

The weight of those windows, and the risk they pose of leaks, is completely out of line with reality.

I don’t know who Musk’s financial team is, but they need to tell him to get into the lab and them handle the company. Musk is a visionary who was one of the lucky ones to get Obama bucks. Now that that has changed, he needs to put on a white coat, smoke a big blunt and invent our future.
