    Musk got billions or SpaceX did?

    Hate on Musk all you like but the people at SpaceX are busting their ass and ultimately I think it’s a good thing for the future of space flight.

      SpaceX is decades (and billions of subsidized taxpayer dollars) behind projections. They were supposed to be deploying multiple manned missions to a terraformed city/base on Mars at this point. I have friends that were employed by and have since left spacex because it degraded into more and more of an overt, disastrous shit show, unsafe working conditions, constant facetious “everyone had to work doubles through the weekends or else” memos, along with constant threats to uproot their families and move them cross country - as a tactic to indirectly lay them off for the most part.

      You have absolutely no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.
