19. Musk seems just to want a further revenue stream for his businesses.
Mon Feb 9, 2026, 12:28 AM
Monday

How is his Tesla Roadster project going? Has he delivered on that?

How did full self-driving work out? Was his choice of sensor type prudent or did he choose an under-powered sensor array as a cost-cutting measure?

What other project goals has he missed? Is SpaceX on track to fulfill its government contracts, or is Musk way behind after burning through the allocated funding without producing much beyond a large amount of space debris that seems mostly to have re-entered the atmosphere?

They should tell Musk to fuck off at least until he starts fulfilling his other obligations. If he has financial difficulties, he can DOGE himself and generate enough money from his assets to self-fund until his obligations are met.

It seems clear that he never really will finish anything and that the citizens of the US and the inhabitants of the world will pay for his extravagant, incomplete dreams.

"For the good of mankind" should not be perverted to "for the good of Elon Musk".
