Envy and self-loathing are no way to go through life, son.

Starlink will never be profitable.

I don’t need him to share his money with me, I have my own thanks.

SpaceX is operating in a field worth only a few billions a year.

Hey look, another whining Jalopnik article about Elon.

Your post shows your age, and what you were (or more correctly, weren’t) raised to fear.
