Maybe he should complete the moon lander that he promised would be done by now

Not a fan of Elon but he said his job is 'To turn impossible engineering projects into late ones' and I thought that was pretty accurate.

"past performance is not a good guide to future performance" is what the finance industry says about the uncertain waters of investment.
If you think late delivery is a trendline to work with against the impossible, I have a self driving car to sell you. (it's not FSD. he delivered late, and he under-delivered to his sell)

I like that quote, however I wouldn't put my money behind someone who continually fails to deliver on projects.
Oh also the whole you know what going on.
But primarily the failure to deliver multiple highly-publicized projects all the while raking in colossal grant and investment money is just wild to me. If this were any other org, Elon would be beyond toast.

It’s interesting because a year ago
Musk dismissed the moon entirely. Now that Blue Origin is competitive with SpaceX and planning to land on the moon, Musk is dishonestly pivoting. I do find the mention of mass drivers disturbing - is Elon creating a space based weapon that threatens other countries?
