Sorry for answering 9 month later. I never checked my inbox until now.

I was just criticizing the choice of the source, not the facts themselves.

And yes I was moderator on the SpaceX sub for a short while. But I got bored quite fast because there wasn’t anything to moderate.

I am passionate about space exploration and SpaceX is at the forefront of it, whether I or others like them or not. That doesn’t mean I like Musk, his political stance, Tesla’s business goals or any of his other more or less stupid companies. I’m against the privatization of space. I think there should be international regulations against launching satellite constellations and clogging the lower orbit without public approval. I’m also worried about the impact of exponential number of reentries of space junk on the upper atmosphere.

I think the individual electric car is a dumb solution to the issues petrol ones are. Cars take to much place in cities. I don’t own a car and never did. I was born in Paris, France, and lived there most of my life. Dense cities where walking and biking and mass transport is dominant is, in my opinion, the best way to go.

I think Elon is a egomaniac with way to much money and power. I think he is dangerous for democracy and the USA as a whole. I think hyper-loop is a half assed idea, bordering a scam. Boring tunnels for electric cars is the worst idea ever.

So no, I’m not a fan of Musk. Quite the opposite in fact. But you can admire the engineering prowess SpaceX have accomplished without supporting anything it’s oligarchic CEO does or say. Being “with them or against them” is a simplistic take on anyone’s opinions. I hope this clears the waters.
