There is clear evidence Musk's original goal with SpaceX was just to encourage more investment into NASA. Remember it was started before Tesla existed and before Musk was a billionaire.
The Germans tabloids hate him because he was destroying the German auto industry with better vehicles and isn't supporting their liberal party. Musk has never done anything racist ever.
Wrong. The other person brought it up who i replied to and you jumped in with your only contribution about post history.
Yep, he definitely was pledging allegiance to a long dead person while at the same time wearing a necklace honoring jews. yep. you got him.
DOGE already address all of those political hit piece articles. The claims made in them were spurious such as that they could not use the full amount of the contract. DOGE addressed this criticism by saying over 99% of contracts end up fulfilling their full amount. I'd be wary of what you read in the news especially when it relates to politics. Those news sites even thought Elon Musk was saluting a long dead genocidal maniac when he waved to the crowd - but specifically only Elon Musk and not any other person who made similar waves - why would that be?
Do i seem concerned? You are the one whose only reply to my post was to my history rather than addressing the topic. I stand by all of those things, its just odd that you would be so concerned with that.
The article refers to the DOGE employees as "bros" and "chucklefucks" throughout and says things like "as far as i can tell" when describing their history. This is clearly biased and not a real article - more like a forum post from a 4channer.
Most things are clearly linked to the contracts themselves with descriptions. Waste is a broad term and things like DEI or many more definitely fall into that category. Imagine spending billions of dollars on your HR department for the specific purposes of DEI without any tangible return on the investment. Its definitely wasteful and at most corruption. Discretionary funds for things like 'payroll' were being used to fund a very specific political ideology that aligned with one political party and congress did not authorize the use in that manner, which is why they were able to cut it so easily.
Doge has not been proven unreliable anywhere I've seen, if you have data to show that please provide it. I have seen the kind of anti-doge news articles you are referring to but if you viewed the authors of those articles it was always folks who post entirely anti-elon or anti-republican articles like they are an attack ad placed by the democrat party and were debunked quickly.
okay? Why are you browsing my comment history lol
Doge.gov already has the most transparent listing of everything they are cutting. This other website that starts out its header with "Tracking The Damage" is clearly a biased attempt by democrats to discredit a program that was started by republicans. It's actually kind of sad people don't realize that the two-party system involves tribalism where no matter how good something is, the other side will call it bad if it wasn't their idea.
It's probably just sourcing data from doge.gov which already lists every single thing doge is cutting. This "tracking" website is just a way to add a democrat slant toa republican led project. This version literally starts with "tracking the damage" as their sub-header slogan.
Doge did far more than cutting salaries, the salary cutting was almost entirely voluntary and actually a tiny fraction of what they were cutting. Mostly it actually is third party contracts being cut. You can see all the contracts being cut here: https://doge.gov/
Google has been working on these exact same type of models far longer than all of the new entrants but was unable to make them good enough or useful enough. Money spent does not equate to value created or we would have one big company that runs everything.
It's not that the FBI fabricated evidence, its that the article misrepresents evidence entirely. Just having your name mentioned in an e-mail means absolutely nothing, what matters is the content of the e-mails. The ring wing, including Elon, has always wanted Epstein files released for years, while the left wing has only wanted it for the last couple months since they realized they can just write lies to convince people that some how Trump being an informant on Epstein and helping the FBI somehow is a strong enough connection to also 'connect' him for being in it? That's like you calling the police on a robber and democrats saying you were 'connected' to the robbery.
If people stop posting completely wrong things, I'll stop correcting them.
I've never once seen any CSAM or nazi things except the highly publicized Ye postings on Twitter, who also did a super bowl commercial that linked to a nazi tshirt by the way, so go ahead and boycott the NFL too if you like. You simply don't use the service if you think these things. Also, I recall that day that the internet was all a buzz with how twitter is down, obviously only because Elon haters wanted so badly to be right, but I used it all day uninterrupted and wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't read an article about it. You are seriously being brainwashed to hate Elon by mostly democrat mouthpieces who make hit piece articles about how he waved while saying thank you wrong. I defend innoent and wrongly accused people like Elon because so many people clearly making this up out of no where, you literally linked to an article here claiming he has ties to Epstein, like seriously if you ever decide to exit your bubble you'll find out how many people are lying to you.
Significant downtime being like an hour, maybe, per year? Please. Microsoft has had outages all day for EMAIL service. It's not even comparable.
Some claim launch costs are only at 2-4x the cost but they only have a few launches or are small rockets. On a per/kg basis at best the closest competitor in the US is ULA which claims about 3x the cost but only had 1 single launch in 2025, total payload launched was about 1/50th of Spacex's total payload launched. New Glenn has had zero commercial launches. SpaceX launched 5x the mass to orbit of all other US companies -combined-, easily 20x the cadence of any other company.
It is just those things. He has never done anything at all ever that are white supremacist.
Don't forget that Musk also founded Open AI (ChatGPT).
Elon is moderate at best. If a democrat supported cutting the budget, having an actual border to the country, and keeping men out of women's bathrooms you'd get Elon.
Banks released pricing to sell their debt. When the debt gets to valued near market value, it means it is essentially guaranteed to get paid back. The company was making much less money but was more profitable, see the other posters comment on EBITDA.
The same services as Falcon 9 are 20x the cost and launch 1/20th as much as well. That's like producing hand made good in America versus via a manufacturing line in China.
This is a classic case of listing all the problems but none of the benefits. If you had horses and someone told you they had a Tesla, you'd be complaining that a Tesla requires you to dig minerals where a horse can just be born!
Dead on, You can transmit data to and from space and have the compute completed at potentially fractions of the cost.
They just changed the name from autopilot to Traffic-Aware Cruise Control with Autosteer. This is just more anti-Tesla propaganda.
lane keeping is still free its being called Traffic-Aware Cruise Control with Autosteer instead.
This article is purely a lie. It still comes with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control with Autosteer free (renamed autopilot).
Basic lanekeeping is still free but changed the name to Traffic-Aware Cruise Control with Autosteer due to lawsuits. This article is just more anti-tesla propaganda from democrats who hate that Elon supported Trump.
