Keep licking them boots.
My god, the fucking dumbasses on here.
"Oh my god, Elon Musk's companies make electric cars, therefore electric cars must be bad".
Great logic man! Yep, hardware rich development programs and fixed price government contracting must also be bad because SpaceX has used them to lower launch costs for NASA by orders of magnitude.
Jesus fucking christ, the dumbass blind hate for SpaceX is fucking mind numbing.
Indeed, I'm surprised this dumb clickbait title didn't literally include Elon Musk's name like so many other "Elon Musk's Does <Thing That's Actually Normal But Sounds Bad>!" headlines.
Yes, Elon Musk has some awful views and does some awful things. Doesn't mean everything he does is therefore bad. Henry Ford was a colossal antisemite, as another example, and did some really weird and awful things to his employees. Unfortunately some of the same personal characteristics that can lead people to be innovative industrialists can often also lead to them being assholes.
I mean, you're the one licking the government boots here.
What's that? I couldn't hear you with elons dick in your mouth.
