Elon Musk's Accomplishments
Believable video
This post begins with my Clean Slate advocacy and recognition Workers must be Educated, Healthy and Able to get to Work for a business to capably function.
The State should guarantee Smart, Healthy Workers Able to get to Work. I suggest businesses have a problem wanting profit at the cost of a qualified staff.
Make sense?
Boeing is an example of what happens when a company does prioritize profit and share value over staff. The plane company is unable to keep planes in the sky. Yet, it has tremendous share value (around $180.) Not for long? Or, analysts see the continuation of the charade worthy of their commissions? And, that is the real problem?
So, the video above discusses the controversy over SpaceX bringing stranded Astronauts back to Earth. Stuck because of a Boeing constructed, NASA rocketship. Yet, no one seeing that as bad for the company when, clearly, it is as other contracts are lost.
Obviously, Elon Musk does nothing for free, so, it’s a straw man argument saying NASA refused SpaceX contracts to just pay for Astronaut retrieval when there is, already, a rocketship going to the International Space Station (ISS) in April, already paid for.
But, what doesn’t seem to make the news is press about SpaceX poorly constructed rockets.
From January: https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/spacex-launches-seventh-starship-mock-satellite-deployment-test-2025-01-16/
I mean it does, the explosion was common knowledge; but it doesn’t, quote from Reuters piece: A SpaceX Starship rocket broke up in space minutes after launching from Texas on Thursday, forcing airline flights over the Gulf of Mexico to alter course to avoid falling debris and setting back Elon Musk's flagship rocket program.
SpaceX mission control lost contact with the newly upgraded Starship, carrying its first test payload of mock satellites but no crew, eight minutes after liftoff from its South Texas rocket facilities at 5:38 p.m. EST (2238 GMT).
SpaceX usually calls rocket explosions ‘a disassembly of the rocket,’ citation from 2023. Because rocket break-ups are always called that….
Wikepedia on SpaceX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_Heavy_launches
SpaceX has a 99% explosion free rocket history. And, it would with every accident called a disassembly, rather than recognition of an explosion. So, supports a share value actual SpaceX projects don’t actually warrant.
And, explains Musk’s constant demonizing of staff that produces such product. As though staff are the problem rather than his nonsensical expectations.
Further, SpaceX Satellites also don’t tend to stay in the air: https://www.business-standard.com/world-news/failing-starlink-satellites-worry-scientists-120-fell-from-space-in-jan-nc
To quote: In January 2025, 120 SpaceX Starlink satellites re-entered Earth's atmosphere, disintegrating as they burned up during re-entry. The increasing frequency of such incidents is raising concerns among scientists and environmentalists about the impact of these satellites on atmospheric pollution.
Elon Musk-led SpaceX developed the Starlink satellite network to provide “low-cost internet access” to remote locations. However, the rate of satellites in orbit is increasing as the constellation keeps expanding.
The satellites are ‘designed’ to be replaced every 5 years with old ones burning up on re-entry to Earth. That causes pollution no one talks about. However, they are just constantly sent up, to fall, and the media is more about Elon Musk’s wealth than the ‘merit’ of SpaceX satellites. And, the dangerous consequences.
Chris Norlund has lots of videos of what Elon Musk is up to, from yesterday:
Everything is falling a part in Musk world. Probably why he is living in Washington D.C. or Mar Lago, Florida, and not Texas with his, now 14, kids.
Tesla share price: $320 link, down $15. on the day, per usual daily decline.
Usual bad news on the cyber trucks: https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2025/02/20/tesla-cybertruck-banned-in-the-uk-due-to-safety-issues/
Twitter/X was after another $44 Billion loan: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-19/musk-s-x-is-in-talks-to-raise-money-at-a-44-billion-valuation Analysis is about the loan to pay partial debt rather than any discussion that without the loan, even the 1st debt could be sustained. Last I, personally, looked company valuation was $7 Billion and falling.
The scary thing is actually Elon Musk is advising the American President because he is seen as the richest man on earth. He’s not, he’s a charlatan becoming a thief as his DOGE Delinquents screw up American finances and he swoops in to take what he can.
Because that is what cons and grifters do….
Quite the accomplishment.
