So you are equating work to simply "net expensed energy"?
Seems to be missing a lot of nuance, in my opinion.
And more to the point: what's your point?
Are you saying that Elon doesn't deserve the success he has - basically - because he pays other people to do the heavy lifting?
Do you think Elon should have done it all by himself?
Or maybe, at least it would more "fair" if he shared most of his wealth with his employees?
Like, the person who carries the trash (from one pile to another pile) should get paid more (like a LOT more - like 1000x more) than the engineer who doesn't work at all - just sits there and designs the rockets.
Is it Elon's fault that your government is giving-away your money?
Elon filled-out some paper-work, and your government cut a check. Elon stole nothing that your government hadn't already stolen from you.
I would suggest your grievances are with your government - not with Elon, who has simply managed to prove himself a good manager of capital: electrifying the auto industry and putting humans at the door-step of mars.
If you are going to continue allowing your government to steal money from you in the first place, you should at least hope they give the money to someone like Elon - instead of Bill Gates (who has just managed to cause a bunch of pandemics with his "grants"), or bailing-out the banksters (for the xth time).
yes, but fine - I get your point.

Thoughts?
Stealing?

Probably more our fault for letting the government take our money in the first place.
hahahah
fastest (0 - 60 in 2 seconds) , safest cars on the market.
for what it's worth, i would take you more seriously if you didn't use so much hyperbole.
simple market mechanisms ( supply / demand ) will resolve.
meh - great for around the town.
I honestly have no idea what that means - inferior to what?

Who said anything about need? It's called fun.
So don't do "ludicrous" mode all the time. Problem solved.
the same could be said about private jets, and yet they are more popular than ever. What's your point? Are you some kind of environmentalist?
Very true.
Debatable.
I'm not convinced, so perhaps you should...
