He used government and private funds to build a rocket with the same technology from 60s?

What I dont get is how the stock doesn't get hurt after nothing but consistently bad numbers. It is like the reverse of Enron. The company is failing, it is right there in black-and-white yet investors are still like screw it let's keep buying.

He definitely hires some, and that in itself says a good bit about him.

You don't actually believe that he designs the rockets himself do you?

Musk is a genius. Geniuses aren’t good at everything. He’s not an operator, he’s an idea guy and one of the greatest ever.

He needs to take Tesla private, get some experienced operators to take over the business side of things, and go slower.

He puts his pants on like every other guy. But once his pants are on, he makes gold records.

The 1st quarter is often the worst. Many profitable companies lose money in Q1. Not that I know anything about Tesla; just an observation.

By a BIG margin but it was cool to watch you call someone a fricking idiot when you were so far off.

I made a mistake. Misread an article. Am I the only one here who’s been wrong? Or just the only one man enough to admit when he’s wrong?

Honestly, unless he invents a Tony Stark type battery his company peaks at a novelty vehicle maker that will in no way help to save the planet from warming

I don’t recall any of those rocket boosters landing on a drone barge.
