I had some thoughts on the press coverage of the SpaceX IPO

Musk maybe a genius & way ahead of his time, but Musk’s white supremacist attitudes, & actions, are what should be scrutinized, more. He led DOGE, that destroyed US AID, which fed millions & is now estimated to cause thousands of deaths. He’s openly bought the U.S. Prez & lived off gov’t contracts.

Arguable…His companies have done things that are far beyond what others can do. How much credit he gets scales from… “he bought it all” to “he is the greatest thinker/visionary of our time”. Either misses my point. His political actions are awful. His Nazi salute was abhorrent. He should be taxed!

he opportunistically gloms on to actual innovators and takes singular credit for their work. And he finds it easy to manipulate our shitty press. While both require some degree of savvy, I think we can skip the "genius" tag based on all available evidence.
