Simply quotes people with obvious large financial interest in the success of the company, who are therefore motivated to continue the super genius narrative.

I guess we all have our biases - I believe first hand accounts, you believe social media posts. To each his own.

Yes, yes, everyone is a sycophant except you and your friends... For the record, you are lying about the quoted people having a financial interest in Elon.

No it's not "to each his own". Using your free expression to smear without admitting counterevidence, while painting everything that does not go along with your views as a doctored narrative is not a legitimate intellectual position.

> Yes, yes, everyone is a sycophant except you and your friends... For the record, you are lying about the quoted people having a financial interest in Elon.

Let's go through them:

- Jim Cantrell: SpaceX founder

- Garett Reisman: astronaut, former SpaceX employee, current SpaceX "consultant"

- Joshua Boehm: former SpaceX head of SQA

- Carmack: maybe this one is genuine, however, Carmack is also an industry outsider who founded his own aerospace company, so there might be some projecting going on there

Interesting take when you came in here telling me (in your now flagged comment) that my friends are imaginary and I'm a liar, who's rejecting counterevidence again?

Named engineers making public statements with their reputation on the line is not the same thing as "my friends told me." One is falsifiable, the other is not. That's not a double standard, that's basic epistemology.

I've watched Elon build rockets for years. Here's him walking you through metal parts from early SpaceX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCc2F8KccD4. You're pretending he's not technical for ideological points. That's why you need sweeping assertions and "friend's testimonies," because the actual footage doesn't support you. I could give you hours of Elon doing engineering on camera and you'd still call it a puff piece. You're trying to prove an impossible thing.

What specifically did your friends take issue with?
