Elon Musk is an embarrassment to engineering.
Musk was never an engineer.
Agreed, but he pretends he’s one.
A pedo guy who jealously lashes out at real engineers.
The lax safety culture, more than a dozen current and former employees said, stems in part from Musk’s disdain for perceived bureaucracy and a belief inside SpaceX that it’s leading an urgent quest to create a refuge in space from a dying Earth. “Elon’s concept that SpaceX is on this mission to go to Mars as fast as possible and save humanity permeates every part of the company,” said Tom Moline, a former SpaceX senior avionics engineer who was among a group of employees fired after raising workplace complaints. “The company justifies casting aside anything that could stand in the way of accomplishing that goal, including worker safety.”
It would be so much easier, so much cheaper, and help so many more people and other living creatures to fix the problems on Earth rather than attempt to flee to Mars. Elon is a literal comic book villain, cliche factor dialed to eleven.
He’s rushing the tech on all of these things on hopes of getting off this rock before the shit-pile him and his cronies left the planet in is unsustainable. He and other billionaires want to get into space tomorrow to escape the results of their greed today. We’re still decades from being able to survive in space for long periods of time.
