He didn't create tesla.

He's obviously had a lot of successes - I don't really like electric cars but I see Teslas everywhere now - but he has some strange ideas also.

He's invested well; firstly into paypal, then tesla. That's where his "successes" have come from. All funded by an emerald mine he inherited. I struggle to see where he has achieved anything on his own merits. All of his other stuff is funded by government subsidies, which is stealing money from tax payers who are living in continually worsening conditions.

…thank you sir, the time between them seems quite short…with huge explosions involved, I somehow thought it would be much longer to feel as though all could be right for another launch…

Elon has been saying recently SpaceX are going to send unmanned Starships to Mars next year. That's obviously not happening. It is supposed to be used as well for Nasa's next moon landing, but proving that is a way off.

…I mean, pardoning the pun but he’s just many, many miles and a galaxy away from success…I just don’t think it helps either that he seems to rush into the next so quickly….huge explosions aren't a small tweak, they surely indicate a huge time needed to address the technicals etc….

Elon has mega government contracts that pay for all his practice runs, so he will just keep doing them and pocketing the cash

Watch: SpaceX Starship completes successful test flight
Close
SpaceX has successfully launched its 10th test flight of the Starship, the world's most powerful rocket.
The rocket, which in previous launches had multiple catastrophic failures, is earmarked for use in a 2027 mission to the Moon.
The rocket successfully re-entered Earth and splashed down in the Indian Ocean about an hour after the initial launch.
