That "dog ate my homework" shit ain't gonna fly, Elon.
But it will burst into flames, just like a Tesla. Reminds me of the 2000SUX commercial from Robocop.
When all else fails, blame an anonymous mystery person for the fact that your product just plain sucks dickballs and doesn't observe safety protocols in both material composition and manufacturing best practices.
Elon Musk, Space-X is the real deal. Focus on that instead of running Tesla further into the ground while you exercise stock options whose value are based solely on hype.
I love real entrepreneurs, there are a few left ...
But a real entrepreneur does NOT take government money.
(period)
Sorry if I sound extremist - no handouts, no gimmes, no gifts or special grants or exemptions ... period.
But like I said ...
There are very few real entrepreneurs left, excepting maybe in certain areas of cryptography and the block-chain ... but even there I am wary.
Sorry - loved your article, just had to rant. It's possible SPACEX is legit ... but then there's special effects.
