        1. and yet they (NASA, USA government) had access to the same R&D and couldn’t achieve what Musk and Company did. In fact, Musk did it better than the modern NASA ever could!! and he made a profit while pulling it off.

        2. Thanks moron. They did it with disposable booster rockets. That you don’t understand the difference is typical of ‘stupid yet arrogant about it’ group you represent. Try again.

        3. @nasa, that you dont understand the difference highlights wha t a complete idiot you are. But keep at it. I like more and more posts from you on this. I guarantee you I will enjoy the more you show what a fing idiot you are that you cant tell the difference between a RETROGRADE landing rocket and a fng shuttle dipshit Mgee. Let’s here more s***for brains.

        4. @nasa you dipshit. You didn’t even know the difference between retro landing and the shuttle. You f’ing clown. He made it happen. All the govts of the world failed. But I love exposing what a complete piece of retard s*** you are.

  1. Jobs paved the way, but Musk is a far more visionary leader, his legacy has already surpassed Jobs. Mass-produced electric cars, rocketships, breaking the leftist control-freak stranglehold on Twitter, etc. The “bicycle for the mind” vision Jobs heralded has long ago been derailed. iPhones and iPads are mostly used as dopamine slot machines for consuming porn, degenerate media and attention whoring.

    As Silicon Valley was sliding towards a progressive, totalitarian thought prison, Jobs said and did nothing. “It is in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing.” -SJ All we get from Apple now is tech married to hyper political correctness and one-dimensional diversity. I’ll take rocket ships, thanks (stock price included).

        1. Do I really have to explain this to you YET AGAIN GeoB?

          Your rights to free speech were never in jeopardy or taken away and Elon certainly did nothing to “save them” because Twitter IS-A-PRIVATE-COMPANY.

          Let me repeat that for you in case you missed it. Twitter is a PRIVATE COMPANY. Twitter can ban you, suspend you, delete your tweets or whatever else it wishes to do your account (which you voluntarily signed up for btw) and your rights to free speech are still there. Same as they were the day before, same as they will be tomorrow because, once again GeoB, Twitter is a private company – not the government.

          So once again:

          Federal Government: Can’t restrict your rights to speech

          Twitter: Can do as it wishes on its own platform and your rights aren’t being violated.

        2. Twitter is the modern public square and the federal govetnment did collude with Twitter to censor non-prog users. Since all public communication outlets besides Twitter are controlled by fanatical leftist control freaks then there’s no doubt that Musk saved at least a slice of freedom of speech for half of the population.

        3. Asleep at the wheel dude. Federal government agencies instructed Twitter who, what and when to censor, especially during an election period. That is a CRIME. If you don’t understand that, the country is in worse situation than we could imagine. Ignorance abounds.

        4. Do I really have to explain this to you YET AGAIN Bringing Obfuscation?

          Conservatives free speech was systemically targeted and censored, a proven fact Musk exposed REPEATEDLY with the Twitter Files and reports in the New York Post. Also, their Hunter Biden story CENSORED and proven true by the NYT and other media.

          Typical Leftist. You don’t LISTEN and you never LEARN…

        5. GeoB, Sherm66 & Nick, here’s a short civics 101 lesson for you:

          “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

          Congress is the key word here. Congress means the government.

          You know what I don’t see in there? Any mention of private business. Do you know what that means? It means that the government, NOT private enterprise, is not allowed to restrict your speech.

          Your conspiracy theories, while amusing, mean little to reality.

  2. I think they are both amazing titans of industry who took knowledge many others had, expanded them and made it more accessible, usable, reliable and affordable.

    Maybe Musk has the higher IQ for engineering, but Steve equaled in marketing.
    Both are national treasures.

  3. Musk has made utter fools of the fascist candyasses he booted out of Twitter, then made the ones who wanted to stay kneel down before him before pronouncing the harsh sentence of actually having to go to the office to work. Since then he has exposed the garbage progressives and their nut job agenda, so that’s why he make some people on this board go wee wee in their panties.

  4. Elon Musk makes lefties look like the loons they are. You’ll know leftists OWN the comments section of this right wing site because any decent comment is voted down, down down. Decent comments get voted WAY down. Only sh!t comments get voted up. Just watch what happens.

    1. They dont own it. It’s one or two guys using a VPN to vote multiple times. Ever wonder how the ‘good’ comments get voted down and you see 50 votes, but then other comments only get 5. Yea, they VPN click over and over again because, yes, they love to cheat here and in elections, and yes, they are that pathetic. And yes, by posting this, I MAKE THEM MY BITCH because they wont be able to stop themselves from doing my bidding. Click little bitch, click!
