This directly contradicts what you claim. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/09/14/musk-internet-access-crimea-ukraine/

I'm curious about Toyota as well. They are regarded as one of, if not the most, reliable car manufacturers.

Thank you for being the first comment that is not simply "musk bad." I'm not being sarcastic. I seriously appreciate you answering my question.

You make a good point about private companies in space and I agree with it completely.

Oh my fucking god. I am not defending shit.

I asked a fucking question and the only answer I got was "musk bad." I posted very clear qualifiers in the original comment and every other comment stating exactly that but somehow a whole bunch of y'all completely ignore that, repeatedly. It's a critical bit of context that completely negates any defenses of any thing.

Then you go on to mention Tesla which was not mentioned in the comment you replied to. So it's obvious you're reading what's written throughout the comments. It also makes obvious that you're only picking out the parts you want. I never, not once, in any way defended Tesla.

I DON'T SUPPORT MUSK. I DID NOT DEFEND SPACEX OR TESLA. How else can I make it clear? What the fuck is going on with people missing the key bit of context?

I asked a question about SpaceX and someone else mentions Tesla. Somehow a bunch of you fuckers read it as I'm defending both SpaceX and Tesla.

Fucking fuck!

If you read all the comments by givesomefucks you will see that they ignore context and make wild assumptions repeatedly. They are on the hate musk train and not addressing the topic.

You: SpaceX?
givesomefuck: musk is terrible, musk blow up things, musk stole my girl/boyfriend
You: Okay, but what I was asking was...
givesomefucks: musk is the worst human ever, EVER!!!!

Dude or lady is triggered. I get it musk is a douche of the highest order but givessomefucks has let it cause them to miss context and make wild assumptions. Sad really. I wish we could talk about things without whatever bullshit their on. My original question was only answered to the extent of musk is bad.

If I didn't put that qualifier there would be comments talking shit about musk. Read the rest of this comment section and it's clear as day.

The prius did not sell incredibly well. That is completely false. It sold well enough to be profitable but even a standard Corolla sold more year after year. It took a decade or more before any other serious options existed.

The previous paragraph covers your next question. You have your history wrong about how well the Prius sold and how long until EV's became desirable.

A better wording would have been that the new Prius is more desirable than the previous generations. Which reinforces the previous Prius not "being cool."

I'm not defending musk. So tired of that qualifier in this thread.

The prius is not an EV it's a hybrid and nobody thought they were cool. Even tree huggers like me. Tesla made electric cars cool until everyone found out how poorly they were assembled. Then the other manufacturers, seeing that electric cars could be profitable, started tooling their assembly lines. You have your history completely backwards.

The new Prius Prime is cool af in my opinion.

I did not say NASA was better than SpaceX, or the other way around. You are putting words in my mouth. Don't do that.

Here is a link to a comment that discusses exactly what you are saying, and it was posted before your comment. So maybe read first then comment.

They can't because when they fail the public and then congress wants to cut their budget. NASA can no longer innovate and maintain funding.

I hate that I have to put this qualifier but this is NOT an endorsement of musk.

For fucks sake.

I clearly said I do not like musk. I even went as far as saying I hate him but still that's the first place you went. What the fuck?

No more celebrities.

Why SpaceX? I hate Musk and do not support any of his other... anythings. However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch. I am genuinely curious why SpaceX is bad.

I completely agree about everything else you mentioned.
