The cringy part was the thesis is based off of a friggin tweet from a diver who had the opinion it was all "publicity". Therefore, the conclusion is he has to be a fraud for having invented a submersible device that may help, gasp, in water.

Absolutely.


Is this supposed to be a gotcha?

Yep


Her take on SpaceX was the funniest part. Her article outs her as a fraud about a thousand times more than Elon's shitty "pedo" comment, but she doesn't realize that.

The vast majority of people are taking that money.

If you can say that you wouldn’t, then good on you.

I have my doubts though.

Do you not avail yourself of any tax deductions? Does Alaska still have the oil fund payments. Do/did you ever take those?

Yes.

If you can tell me that you don’t take advantage of tax credits when offered, then again, good on you.

But I’ve never met a single person that doesn’t jump at the chance at tax credits or reducing their tax burden.

No, just an example. People who rely on state and federal funds to build something, bankrupt it within a few short years and leave it a rotting shell... those are who we should all respect.

Trump and Musk are two peas in a pod. Musk is the poster child for Crony Capitalism, the major corruption of Capitalism in the USA.

How is it’s valuation phony?

If it had to stand upon its own merits, such as production ability and product generation, rather than the large influx of federal dollars, do you think its stock value would be where it is now?

That’s the way I take it, but it seems like the people that use it are trying to use it in a pejorative sense.
