Given Musk’s record of non-stop bullshi***ng, i’m prepared to believe the worst about any offstage shenanigans making this look more impressive than it was.
The robotaxi and announcements about FSD were deeply disappointing. Just more vague promises about the future. It’s madness to me this man has been allowed have such a senior and pivotal position in America’s Space Program.
It’s a bit off-topic, but I think Gwynne Shotwell is overseeing most of the day-to-day operations at SpaceX by this point.
I would hope so. The Thai Cave Rescue demonstrated to me why that man should never have any decision-making in any engineering project. That he thought a rigid submarine was a solution for bendy caves that even human divers had trouble contorting through was bad enough. That he completely lost his shit when a real engineer pointed out how stupid the idea was is even worse. If those patterns of behavior and decision-making are playing out at the very highest level of America’s Space Program, he is part of the problem not the solution
