How long has Elon got?

[OddBeMe]

Both his companies and Trump has zero need of him

[BonzoInBitburg]

He is on the same path as the My Pillow guy. Never ever mix politics with your business.

[DryGermanGuy]

Both of them unstable junkies as well.

[DrPepper12]

Maybe even Rudy Giuliani territory...

[DrPepper12]

When his collateral falls below pledged loans value the house of cards falls

[OddBeMe]

I like how Elon wants to start a twitter crypto bank and also destroy the regulators that oversee it.

[SolitarySolace]

It’s easy to write someone off when the headlines turn, but let’s not ignore the facts. Elon Musk remains the driving force behind multiple successful ventures—Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and Starlink—each of which has changed its industry in profound ways. Yes, Tesla is facing headwinds right now: EV market competition is up, trade-ins are messy, and Musk’s political alignment has alienated some buyers. But none of that erases Tesla’s innovation in battery tech, over-the-air software updates, or the sheer market influence it still holds.

As for Trump not needing Musk—that’s fair politically. But the country might still need people who can disrupt, invent, and challenge stagnant systems. The question isn’t how long Musk has—it’s whether anyone else is stepping up to build at the scale he does.

[OddBeMe]

Each he purchased. Not created.

[SolitarySolace]

@OddBeMe, you’re right that Elon Musk didn’t start all of his companies from scratch—Tesla is the most well-known example of that. But leadership isn’t just about founding something; it’s about vision, direction, and execution. Musk didn’t just buy into companies—he pushed them further, faster, and into areas that many others considered too risky or ambitious.

He turned Tesla into a symbol of EV innovation, scaled SpaceX into the leading private spaceflight company, and launched Starlink to provide global internet coverage. That kind of impact isn’t just about ownership—it’s about transforming potential into something real.

Whether one agrees with him politically or not, Musk’s influence on multiple industries is undeniable—and that’s what my comment was addressing.

I'm sure you'd like to believe that as you're firebombing Teslas, but considering how many $ billions in fraud and waste Musk has uncovered from the previous administration, I'd say Trump sees him as a valuable member of his team.

I'd also say the astronauts Musk saved when NASA couldn't (and Biden wouldn't) I'd also say NASA see's Musk as valuable.

Do you realize how stupid it makes you leftist morons look when you can't even acknowledge those things? Your hate for Trump forces you to be on the wrong side of so many issues that are important to Americans, simply because you can't let yourself say anything positive about what Trump is doing. It's a really, really bad look for you.

[OddBeMe]

Please name 1 billion in fraud or waste. I'll wait

[purplepoppy]

That car in the picture is actually a Tesla. People are also dumping starlink too. Unfortunately it's not that easy to shoot them down.

[lightbulb27]

The left is a special group of crazy. Someone whom 6 months ago was a savior and smartest of the smart, a man to be honored... is despised. This is exactly what Tulsi and RFK Jr. spoke of when they departed.

[WindAtMyBack]

Great! If Tesla goes under, then Musk can devote more time to cutting the government.

Have all these anti-Tesla morons ever thought of that? Of course not because they are morons.

Cut cut cut the government, then cut some more.

[Dargil]

This is your usual unproven allegation disguised as a question. Leftist Agitprop propaganda. Leftist Democrats should realize that the walls are closing in on them.

Where'd i learn this duplicity from? Oh trump

[Dargil]

It's good that you can learn something. Congratulations.

[OddBeMe]

Elect me president. I won't send out top secret creds to journalists

[Dongie]

It matters not what happens in this regard. He is a self made billionaire and richest man in the Milky Way galaxy. He would invent and reinvent himself. So just stay jealous, keep dreaming of his demise and go ---- yourself. 😂

There is a rumor going around that he didn't even create it, he stole the origins. Some are willing to screw people over for fame and wealth. Shakespeare, Einstein.. are two of many guilty along side the freak known as musk,

[Fireguy17]

as long as he wants.
He is doing exactly what he was appointed to do.

[Anonymous]

Don't believe everything thd media tells you. He could be deliberately running stock prices into the ground to buy them cheaper.

[Syntosi]

If he was then he would not be pressuring Donald Trump to do sales talk for Tesla to try boost the share value.

[Opinion Owner]

@Syntosi this is why it's so dangerous to have billionaires owning so much media and having such close ties to those in government, they can litteraly manipulate stocks and shares and potentially cause a crash.

[Anonymous]

Ummmmmm
Maybe he could retire in the next 3 seconds butttttt he enjoys the democrat butt hurt he is causing.


Maybe try moving to a third world country. That would be anywhere outside of the USA.

I'd say at least a few more years. Maybe decades. I'd be more worried about myself, if I spent 7 days a week losing my mind over Trump and Elon. 😁

[seeyounexttuesday]

You morons overestimate your relevance.

[Syntosi]

You morons forgot that Republicans does not want to buy electric cars. Progressives and tech bro's is Teslas entire market. Likewise Republicans does not give two craps about space travel or mars colonies. If they saw how much the international space station costed then they would want that thing decommissioned and the builders to be publicly hanged.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi right. Thanks for proving you guys loved Tesla before the TV told you to hate them.

[Syntosi]

It is Tesla and SpaceX that has changed, not us. We still want the same things we wanted 10 years ago. Tesla and SpaceX is just not delivering it anymore.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi lol, no, the TV told you. Space x literally just rescued two stranded astronauts and they can catch rocket boosters with mechanical arms. You’re insane.

[Syntosi]

Really? That what they told you? That those astronauts needed "rescuing"? They were completely fine up there. Their mission and the space station had plenty enough redundancies to account for an extended stay and later missions to get them down. It was SpaceX who was desperate for the reputation and CASH associated with a "rescue mission".

As for catching the rocket boosters, that is cool and all but its hardly revolutionary. And again, the Republicans does not care about any of this. They will not step up and replace the left in buying Tesla cars or support space exploration and rocket science. They HATE both of those things.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi lol you’re such a retard.

[Syntosi]

I am not the one making retarded statements here such as SpaceX coming to "save" some astronauts that were TOTALLY stranded on the space station and were TOTALLY asking to be saved rather than just chilling while the issues were resolved safely.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi Um. They did. And let's not forget, Biden refused Elon's help because he didn't want to give Trump a win. So he kept Americans up in space to deny Trump political points.

[Syntosi]

Why are you lying to me? You know that I am not that dumb, so why even bother? The "rescue mission" (yes that one that you think Trump told Elon to organize) was already planned back in December. Yes, before Trump became president.

The two Astronauts as well as NASA also denied that Elons "offer" was shot down due to political reasons. At the end of the day the planning for their returns were made on the grounds of safety, budget and convenience.

I also find it hilarious that you act all outraged about this since again, you dont give a fuck. You dont care about space and the fact that you would BALK at the idea of spending around 200 million dollars extra to send a pointless mission for the explicit reason of getting some astronauts down a few months earlier than normal.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi Um. Yeah, it's been confirmed that biden fucked it up (as usual). he's that evil.

[Syntosi]

No, you are lying. And again, I dont see you (or people like you) wanting to give 200 million dollars to NASA for a pointless flight when one is already scheduled later. In fact I would guess you would rather want to decommission the entire program since it costs literally billions of dollars.

Dont come here and cry your crocodile tears and pretend that you have a shred of compassion you fucking weirdo.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi ooh you used the magic word!!! Tampon Timmy gives you a gold star for the day

[Syntosi]

What? Lying? I guess that would ring a bell for you.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi imagine coming on here and defending Biden's corruption. Damn.

[Syntosi]

Imagine coming on here and manufacturing some bullshit story about Biden being behind every single little thing? Damn.

And again, lets not forget that you are already against NASA and space missions. You are just pretending that you care so that you can *re-reads the script*

"coming on here and manufacturing some bullshit story about Biden being behind every single little thing? Damn."

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi Imagine calling catching a rocket with robot arms "no big deal" when you can't use chopsticks to eat some chinese.

[Syntosi]

... Wait.. are you serious? You think THAT is a big milestone in space exploration? Please tell me that you are joking.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi um. anyone else in the world able to do it?

[Syntosi]

Yes. But there is a very good reason that they have not even tried. Want to try guess why that is?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi ooh, can't wait to hear this one... it ought to be hilarious.

[Syntosi]

*whispers* Its a corporate move.

"perfecting" (if you want to call it that) the recovering of booster rockets is an attempt to make launches a tiny bit less expensive. This is a lot of work for not a lot of value and does not increase our capabilities in any way. It does not get us closer to a manned mission to mars. It does not make it closer to a moon base or whatever. It does not even improve the rocket design.

It just makes it a bit cheaper to launch the same old rockets that we have always had. A move that only makes sense if you want to keep the same old technology and repeatedly launch them over and over again. As opposed to for example progressing technology and make for example STO rockets which would never need this in the first place.

It really shows that you get your understanding of spaceX and space exploration from the news because you obviously dont understand jack shit.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi I was right, it is hilarious.

[Syntosi]

Oh really? So what is your position on SpaceX's scheme of milking the taxpayer for the foreseeable future?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi space x is being innovative and pushing the boundaries of what we can do. AS compared to you, who is a loser.

[Syntosi]

By doing what? Launch the same old NASA rockets over and over again? What has that accomplished except for draining the public purse?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi he just rescued two astronauts, remember?

[Syntosi]

... By doing a routine resupply mission to the ISS where they could hitch along like any other resupply mission to the ISS? You think that is new or something?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi Was it a spaceX ship that stranded them there?

[Syntosi]

Again. They were never stranded. Its like saying you are stranded on a buss stop because you missed one buss. There is another one coming if you wait, which they did.

And I am asking you, what has SpaceX actually accomplished? Keep in mind they have been assisted by NASA on building the same rockets and technology that NASA used AFTER they had already sent humans to the moon. So what has SpaceX accomplished?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi First Privately Funded Rocket to Reach Orbit: In 2008, SpaceX’s Falcon 1 became the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to successfully reach orbit, marking a historic moment for commercial spaceflight.

Reusable Rockets: SpaceX pioneered the development of reusable rocket technology with the Falcon 9. The first successful landing of an orbital rocket booster occurred in December 2015, significantly reducing the cost of space travel.

Dragon Capsule and ISS Missions: In 2012, SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft became the first commercial vehicle to dock with the International Space Station (ISS). Since then, it has completed numerous resupply missions, and in 2020, the Crew Dragon carried astronauts to the ISS, marking the first crewed launch from U. S. soil since the Space Shuttle program ended in 2011.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Starlink Constellation: SpaceX has launched thousands of Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit to provide global high-speed internet. By March 2025, the network continues to expand, revolutionizing connectivity in remote areas.

Falcon Heavy Launch: In 2018, SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy, one of the most powerful rockets in the world, capable of carrying large payloads. Its debut included sending a Tesla Roadster into space as a test payload.

Starship Development: SpaceX’s ambitious Starship program aims to create a fully reusable spacecraft for interplanetary travel. Successful high-altitude test flights and orbital launch attempts have showcased progress toward missions to the Moon and Mars.

Cost Reduction: By reusing rocket components and streamlining manufacturing, SpaceX has drastically lowered the cost of launching payloads into space, making it a competitive player in the global market.

Lunar and Mars Ambitions: SpaceX has secured contracts, such as NASA’s Artemis program, to return humans to the Moon using Starship. Its long-term goal is to colonize Mars, with Musk envisioning a self-sustaining human presence there.

[Syntosi]

*yawn* So in other words, SpaceX has not moved the goalpost since NASA put it down. They have just sat here, spinning their wheels in a pointless demonstration of wasting money. Do you want to compare that to what NASA could do back when USA was actually funding them? You know, back when technology was so basic that a modern toaster could be used to land a manned space ship on the moon?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi lmao. You're fucking stupid.

[Syntosi]

Says the person who implies catching a rocket with chopsticks is revolutionizing.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi tell me your advanced rocketry ideas.

[Syntosi]

Well you could start with a aerospike or a rotary detonation engine.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi ok when you successfully launch one, come back to this thread.

[Syntosi]

Sure. There are working prototypes that I could launch for a fraction of the money given to SpaceX for their prototyping. Ill just have to buy one of them.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi go for it. I'll wait.

[Syntosi]

No you won't and you won't care. Like I said. Republicans dont care about any businesses that Elon has.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you're wasting time being a moron on this site that could be spent launching your rocket.

[Syntosi]

Well you convince the US government to give me a research grant and ill buy that rocket with that money, how does that sound? Or are you just wasting time being a moron on this site when you could help be in launching a completely pointless rocket just to prove an obvious point?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi no. This is all your job. you claimed Musk isn't doing anything and that you could do better. Put up or shut up.

[Syntosi]

Why? We already know that they are better. NASA even made up plans for developing them before their funding was cut.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi thanks for showing the class that you, like most libtards, are actually unproductive and good at nothing. Which is why you try to take down successful people. You're jealous of their success.

[Syntosi]

Thanks for showing the class that you, like most republicunts, dont understand that you can demonstrate real world performance and specs through mathematical calculations and formula.

Truly a caveman mentality to have to see it in "real life" to believe something that is obvious.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi well hell i didn't know it was that easy. So I just invented a warp drive that can go 10x the speed of light because I watched Star Trek.

[Syntosi]

You say that as if its a "gotcha" but in reality its just a self-own. We do actually have designs for warp drives that can go faster than light. The only real issue is that it requires negative mass to work which we are not sure exists or would be possible to create.

The problem for you is that we have everything we need to make both aerospike engines and rotational detonation engines work. If you want to design better rocket engines then you have no excuse for why you did not choose one of these technologies to work on outside of you being retarded. *looks at Musk*

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi And yet you have done nothing to prove him wrong other than blather like a midwit.

[Syntosi]

He spent years and like 10 billion dollars to develop a method to make old rockets a tiny bit cheaper. He has not improved the actual performance of these rockets or developed new ones. This is just facts.

I, at no cost of the government, know of several engine designs, with working prototypes, that would produce a better engine than currently available. This would also reduce the cost of launching things into space and by a bigger margin than Elon Musks reusing of old rockets because you would need less fuel and less weight to lift stuff into space.

In other words, Elon Musks decision has not progressed space exploration where as my suggestion WOULD have and that is guaranteed if given the funding.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi let's see you do it then. Put up or shut up.

[Syntosi]

Sure. Give me 10 billion dollars.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi get it yourself. I didn't give Elon 10 billion.

[Syntosi]

Actually, it looks like Elon got at least 20 billion dollars from the government for SpaceX, if not more. I still bet I could develop a better engine than Elon with only 10 billion.

But yeah, if you want me to prove you wrong so much then get me that money and ill happily prove it. Until then, stop being stupid.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you're the retard who can't even get a job beyond fry cook claiming he's a rocket scientist.

[Syntosi]

I could have every chromosome known to man and be blind while still having better results than Elon Musk since he is not doing jack shit.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi yeah but you haven't. So all you are is Uncle Rico saying he could throw a football over the mountains.

[OddBeMe]

Not looking good for starlink either. Just saying... investors have rights and elons politics are fucking them over.

[Syntosi]

I can "throw the football" further than Musk. Since Musk never "threw the football" in the first place. That is literally my argument. No matter how hard I would fail, it would still be failing to do something that Musk has not even dared to attempt.

[Syntosi]

Yeah, starlink is doomed anyways. They alienated their biggest customers (military and government contracts) and their lack of forethought on how to maintain/clean up their dead satellites might see them be banned from launching more since they are creating a debris field and they dont burn up in the atmosphere which means they endanger people on the ground.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi no, you are a loser in your mom’s basement.

[Syntosi]

Uh-huh? So tell me again how right wing people would support spending 200 million dollars to rescue 2 astronauts a few months earlier than scheduled. Because that is fucking bullshit, you would not pay a penny for either an electric car nor space exploration.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi got that rocket started?

[Syntosi]

You have not provided a particularly good argument for why I should.

So tell me again how right wing people would support spending 200 million dollars to rescue 2 astronauts a few months earlier than scheduled. Because that is fucking bullshit, you would not pay a penny for either an electric car nor space exploration.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you said you could. I'm waiting

[Syntosi]

If given the same funding as Elon Musk was given for his development of his rocket engine and catch mechanism, yes I could. And even if I failed, I would still have contributed more to science than he has by simply attempting it.

So tell me again how right wing people would support spending 200 million dollars to rescue 2 astronauts a few months earlier than scheduled. Because that is fucking bullshit, you would not pay a penny for either an electric car nor space exploration.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi your idea is so great people would jump to give you money

[Syntosi]

If great ideas gave you money then Elon Musk would be bankrupt.

So tell me again how right wing people would support spending 200 million dollars to rescue 2 astronauts a few months earlier than scheduled. Because that is fucking bullshit, you would not pay a penny for either an electric car nor space exploration.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi then you should be able to secure funding for your superior engines.

[Syntosi]

If it is so easy then I am sure you can help me by securing the funding ahead of time.

So tell me again how right wing people would support spending 200 million dollars to rescue 2 astronauts a few months earlier than scheduled. Because that is fucking bullshit, you would not pay a penny for either an electric car nor space exploration.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi I don't think you have a better idea - you do. I know you're a loser. You're the only one here with delusions of your intelligence.

[Syntosi]

Well then, if you think I am such an idiot where as Elon Musk is so smart for having achieved so much. Why has he not taken these very simple ideas and developed them? Where is your Messiah in all of this? Fucking around with trying to catch rockets with chopsticks as a party trick?

So tell me again how right wing people would support spending 200 million dollars to rescue 2 astronauts a few months earlier than scheduled. Because that is fucking bullshit, you would not pay a penny for either an electric car nor space exploration.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi I have no proof of your advanced ideas. So the conclusion is you're a moron.

[Syntosi]

No proof? You have access to google. Your ignorance is not an excuse.

So tell me again how right wing people would support spending 200 million dollars to rescue 2 astronauts a few months earlier than scheduled. Because that is fucking bullshit, you would not pay a penny for either an electric car nor space exploration.

@Syntosi You haven't launched a single rocket, yet.

[Syntosi]

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi where's your rocket launch going to be? Florida? Texas? Those are red states, you may be removed from the borders.

[Syntosi]

How about you find me a lunch pad?
