90% of Earth's payload is just proof of SpaceX's dominance and how every country relies on it in some way. Whether it's for launching payloads or using Starlink. There's no country on Earth that Elon isn't connected to through business in some form.

While Tesla made Elon wealthy, it's often said that SpaceX is what will make him the world’s first trillionaire. He owns around 13-14% of Tesla, but about 44% of SpaceX. Many estimates predict SpaceX will reach a trillion-dollar valuation within 5-7 years, and that could go much higher and one factor for that is Starlink. There’s no competition for Starlink, and no company is even close to challenging it. Even if they tried, they'd still need SpaceX to get their systems into orbit.

So, keep protesting Tesla if you want, but the reality is, Elon is probably the second most powerful person on Earth right now behind POTUS, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon.

But remember, Elon and Trump are supposedly both insiders loved by Washington. At least, that's what the idiot known as SFP claims.

Go frick yourself, bitch. You totally hi-jacked my thread with your pompous, narcissistic, and stupid shite. And to boot, you showed your ignorance by claiming there's no entrenched political establishment (even though you call Trump an insider of what you claim doesn't even exist).

I wish the Admins would figure out your trollish M.O. How many threads haveyou ruined?

Why are you allowing your bleeding vag over someone proving you wrong to hijack stout's thread via overflow?

What valid criticism do you have of Elon?

If your criticism only consists of DOGE cutting BS spending then it is not valid but rather retarded

If you focus on Elon in business there aren't that many criticisms. Of course he's failed, but nobody is going to bat 1.000 in business. There are few, if any, with his record at managing big companies. That group who started Paypal is going to go down in history.

Politics and relationships are a different discussion.

Do I need to repost the gif?

The doge team has had to redact multiple "big finds" to much smaller numbers or just delete entries on their "receipts page"
Also how has the spending been cut? A CR was just signed extending previous spending levels at for the most part the same amount.

Liberalism is self destructive by nature. They’re at the absolute best when they’re destroying something of value.

IDC about his relationships/personal issues. I can think it's weird but I think people who try to bring morality into it are silly, simply because everyone on earth is a hypocrite in some way, and I doubt they are 100% moral in their personal lives.

As far as his politics, I currently agree with the majority of his politics. Not sure if that says more about his shift or mine. That doesn't mean I will wholeheartedly agree with him in the future just like I currently disagree with Trump about picking winners and losers through tax policy.

Oh no...the guy who said they were going so fast that they will make some mistakes but correct them quickly did exactly that!

How dare he.

Are frivolous programs being defunded or are they not? That is the primary function of DOGE. The CR is not on DOGE.
