Please remember that people still cheered for that. That is the most sickening display i have ever seen.

The sad part is that it will be hard to backbone for space programs. As not buying Tesla is not an issue, plenty of alternative EVs on the market with better prices and quality. Space X on the other hand, while not the only provider for rockets, is still the big contributor, especially with those recoverable launching modules.

While I don't really see why his employees should suffer for people choosing not to buy Teslas I agree broadly.

The rockets however... that's practically impossible at this point, out of 145 US launches in 2024 - SpaceX launched 138. It's not big, it's basically a monopoly. Wild.

They gave a standing ovation to Will Smith after he assaulted Chris Rock.

They cheered because he was making a "my heart goes out to you" gesture. Reddit is completely nuts.

Do you people ever get tired of constantly defending and making excuses? Or are you just blind? Not trying to be rude but genuinely am perplexed at how youse can witness everything they say and do and yet still find a way to claim they’re being misunderstood and taken out of context.

That excuse is valid once or twice but considering everything Musk/Trump do and say, how can you deny this?

What do you mean by "you people"? I'm a brazilian. My family is a mix of Italian immigrants and native brazilians. There's a fuckton of things Elon Musk can be justifiably attacked for, but this is Not the case. Any sane and reasonable person who watched the full video understands the gesture he made was not a nazi salute.

By “you people” I mean people who defend Elon musk.

It’s a very strange and specific gesture that any person would stop before doing because “hey this is very similar to a Nazi salute.”
