I never said he was my friend. But I still think SpaceX is pretty cool.

I think that it is impressive that he got out of South Africa before it was turned into a living hell and then became the richest man in the world through his own foresight, intuition, perseverance and salesmanship. He is an American success story. It is too bad that much of his success is due to the funneling of taxpayer funds his direction. But it seems like more than just being at the right place at the right time.

He didn't start out with all the connections and support that one of the previous richest men in the world such as Bill Gates had. He basically was a refugee.

Freepers often have rich envy

He takes subsidies

So do farmers

Do we hate all them

It’s a long list

Musk put all of his then 150 million and then some into Space X ..four launches ....and almost lost it all

His views on climate change are that it’s irrelevant whether it’s man made or anyone believes it

We will run out of oil at some point so why not look for alternatives with more supply

His biggest goal is Mars.....that’s his legacy.....

I’ve studied him

He’s imperfect but far more on our side than not

Ballsy

Likes pretty women

And outspoken against woke culture

His mind constantly produces ideas

Wonder if he’s really high level illuminati from the Oppenheimer family of South Africa?

Please tell us, what important connections did Bill Gates and Paul Allen have when they founded Microsoft in 1975?
