Over promises and under produces all on the tax payers dime.
Anyone could have taken advantage of it, but we use it as a negative that he was the one to actually utilize it. Seems pretty silly.

NASA would never have done something like that, of course.

He gives you a really nice rose, but later than promised. It's not a fake street rose.

The same people that hate Musk for his subsidies, celebrate Trump bringing back manufacturing plants, which are always heavily subsidized

space is useless. he should focus his efforts on environmental projects on this planet.

I think this is why people hate on the Musk fanboys. The guy needed simple weight to simulate a payload so he threw a car in there and everyone starts sucking his cock and calling him a genius. A bunch of steel plates would've served the same purpose. You nerds bring the hate on yourselves because of your starry-eyed nonsense.
All anyone said is that it's cool as shite. And if you don't think seeing the pics coming out so far are pretty darn cool then I'm not sure what to tell ya, there's no real reason not to think it's a cool thing.
Also, he did it for publicity. Would we be talking as much about it if he put those steel beams instead of a Tesla Roadster? Nah.

Says you. If Elon Musk doesn't develop rocket technology to leave the planet, he'll never be able to get home. Don't believe that whole "phone home and they'll come back for you" shite that Spielberg put in E.T.

Sending a tesla into space is cool. But dude needs to get off his arse and get The Boring Company up and running. I need a high speed tunnel to BR from LP like last week.
Work on some shite that actually do something for MEEEE dammit!

You serious, Clark? Dumb motherfrickers around here can't handle a bridge. What do you think they're going to do when you put them in a hole in the ground? One of these idiots is going to end up stuck vertically in the tunnel with the rear bumper of his car jammed against the roof of the tunnel and the front bumper jammed against the top of a 18-wheeler's tank. The tank WILL be on fire and cross all lanes of traffic until it blows up, cracking the walls of the tunnel, letting groundwater seep in until the tunnel floods. The headlines will read "500 drown in raging fire".
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
I love the name of that company, though. It's so fricking literal and figurative at the same time. The Boring Company.

I don't get the Musk hate and I bet most who hate on him don't either, it's just a bandwagon thing.
Its good ole southern anti intellectualism, thats all.
What upsets me is he just quietly works his way through the maxim top 100.
