Does Elon Musk set a good example...?

I normally think heā€™s a bit of a chump, but I like his sense of humour.

Iā€™m beginning to learn more about him, starting hereā€¦

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. Thatā€™s why itā€™s taken 11 years and cost about $24 billion to develop to itā€™s first launch. And thatā€™s 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. Thatā€™s 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. Itā€™s now run by very competent and professional people.

Musk is a liability, not merely a tosspot but the tosspotā€™s tosspot.

Heā€™s also well on the way to proving the adage that the quickest way to a small fortune is to start with a large one.

Hereā€™s a (very long) Twitter thread documenting his tosspottery.
