What is malicious about him? Tesla has delivered, SpaceX has delivered, it's still early for Boring but they are already doing prototyping and testing. All 3 of his big companies are doing exactly what he has claimed. Elon Musk is a refreshing change from the usual corporate PR-speak and yeah, he probably is inspiring to many. Personally, the big thing about him is that he isn't just about collecting money and then working that money to make more money. He is reinvesting his profits into the new companies, all of which could have failed and bankrupted him. Hopefully once he retires he follows the path of Bill Gates and goes into philanthropy.

SpaceX seems to have confirmed that the core ran out of fuel about 100 meters from the drone ship and hit the water at about 300 MPH.  Nonetheless, this multi-faceted launch was impressive.  3-4 months until the next one.  :party:

I read it was an issue with relighting certain engines in the core stage, unless the reason they couldn't relight them was fuel supply issues.

Charlatan? Maybe not. He's a ****, though. Tesla has (had?) huge issues with employee workloads and turnover and stuff. It seems like he doesn't have any issues doing near double time all the time and expects everybody else to do the same.

The whole interplanetary species stuff is really just a marketing pitch. There's no reason to race to Mars besides the fact that we've already been to the Moon, and Elon definitely doesn't want to be second fiddle to Apollo. He was way too quick to sign off on a one-way trip, but everyone's a fanboy so there's no shortage of people signing their lives over to the project.

The meat of the company is in resupply and crew transport to ISS, as well as ramping up commercial and government satellite launches especially if Falcon Heavy has a good record. Everything else is just flavor for the personality cult.
 
Speaking of Tesla, the man not the company, he took a beating from yet another ****, Thomas Edison.  Tesla favored alternating current for much of the nation's power supply while Edison was all about direct current.  Some of Tesla's major projects had to be scrapped when Edison convinced enough of Tesla's backers that he was wrong.  Course we are now supplied with alternating current, but at a price far above what Tesla thought necessary.  Hopefully Musk is not an Edison level ****.
