I normally think heās a bit of a chump, but I like his sense of humour.
I know Musk is a tosspot, to put it mildly, but the rocket was never really expected to be a success. NASA has a way of designing rockets that can not allow any failures. Thatās why itās taken 11 years and cost about $24 billion to develop to itās first launch. And thatās with parts of it being inherited from previous rockets. With Spacex, they do it differently and test stuff early to gain data and expect failure. Thatās what they did with the Falcon 9, which is now incredibly successful. Musk now having little involvement in Spacex has been a very good thing for the company. Itās now run by very competent and professional people.
Musk is a liability, not merely a tosspot but the tosspotās tosspot.
Heās also well on the way to proving the adage that the quickest way to a small fortune is to start with a large one.
Hereās a (very long) Twitter thread documenting his tosspottery.
