Yeah, this is soo cool! The Starship is just incredible. It weighs about 5,000 metric tons when it’s fully fueled—that’s like 11 million pounds! And it’s huge, around 120 meters tall with the Super Heavy booster. Can’t wait to see what they do next!
Some pretty stereotypical technophile thought in there I think.
Rockets are cool but are they progress? Depends on your (subjective, personal) beliefs and value system. IMO they’re part of a self-fulfilling quasi-religion that predicts and through sheer will basically ensures a certain techno-capitalisto-centric future at the cost of everything else.
Either way, I reject the idea that you’re either a conformist or you should celebrate Musk. I would go as far as saying that Musk fans, like Trump fans, are probably more conforming and susceptible to groupthink than most folks.

mr musk thank you for inventing the bus!!!
Meh. I'd rather my daughters have rights and workers have collective bargaining than giant reusable rockets.
I'm not convinced ambition and toxic insanity are inexorably linked. Perhaps if we had less crazy -- yet no less ambitious -- people in charge we could have rights and rockets.
