How did this con man get NASA subbed out to him? He's a megamaniacle ass. The US Government should cut him a check and take baby Elmo's toys away from him.

That mash up of ers, ums, yeahs, so’s, etc was worth cringing about. I didn’t finish the other (but will) is a brilliant exposé of a legend in his own mind.

The original video was surprising for how little enthusiasm and reaction from the SpaceX team. Almost as if they are not believing the BS

He gave almost the same talk there three years ago, and the audience was enthusiastic. Me thinks the missed milestones, and big failures (and no mistake, all three of the test flights have been progressive failures) are weighing on the morale.

Add to that the bullshit that Musk spews on his hobby site, Twitter they must be wondering if their careers are secure.

That was beyond cringe. How is this man respected by anyone? He’s difficult to even hate watch.

That is not unusual. The man is not very good at real time interactivity and discussions. That interview he did with Don Lemon was just the usual when he doesn't sit down with a scrotal sack washer.

His faithful, what I like to refer to as "musk-rats" will go to insane lengths to protect and insulate him from any bad takes, it is really something to watch their defense of him.

Yet, on Tuesday Tesla reported awful earnings, and he was able to slough that off and the investors are all in, the stock is up like 25% in three days.

Insane.

Well, I was going to say he’s from South Africa so you can’t expect his grasp of the English language to be that good. How’s that?
