@dickenschris@Christians_era One re-usable stage does not a re-usable rocket make. It’s debatable how much money it even saves. The Russians could launch payload cheaper without a re-usable stage.
@wintersquest@Christians_era It’s been a decade and still only the first stage is reusable. That’s not the re-usable rocket we were promised 10 years ago, now is it? The Russians could launch rockets cheaper.
@PaulFrance66423@Christians_era Lol! For 15 years now I’ve been watching Elon Musk make big claims for his future products, take massive pre-payments from customers, and then either under deliver years late, or not deliver at all.
@warren_benn@Christians_era Except the rockets aren’t re-usable (only the first stage is) and the cars aren’t self-driving. The driver must be alert and ready to take over at all times according to Tesla. That’s no self driving is assisted driving. Musk is a conman.
@AndrewW28950303@Christians_era I never sucked up $38billion of government funds and then either under delivered or didn’t deliver at all. So in net terms I’m ahead of Musk.
@wintersquest@Christians_era The vegas loop is a joke. It’s a one way system with only two cars operational. As for the reusable rockets, it’s been 10 years now and still only the first stage is getting reused. Musk promaised he’d be launching missions to Mars by now. Face it, he’s a conman.
@DeSaad37@Christians_era Yeah,They are only available in the southern U.S because they so efficient they take about 3 times as long to pay for themselves as any other panels.
@CraigABird@PurifyCali@Christians_era He didn’t invent this platform. He just bought it. He is trying to buy the public forum. He made a version of twitter that is rubbish unless you pay. It’s still losing money btw, which shows he’s not the entrepreneur you seem to think he is.
