It's probably impossible to get a neutral take on Musk or any of his companies' operations anymore. The guy's a lightning rod for the extremes of both sides. There is too much breathless, gushing fandom (OP's comment), too much negative detraction and belittling, and very little actual neutral engineering talk that happens in any of these forums.
It's a shame to me because I don't really give a damn about the guy, I just like space and think rockets are cool, but we have a situation where a potentially revolutionary rocket is being overshadowed by the CEOs antics to the point that people are rooting for the rocket to fail. It's tragic, in a way.
