Dude created a company that built a reusable rocket and you accuse him of selling vaporware.


We're talking about someone with inhuman self-control, and GP is talking about someone that just can't keep his mouth shut and loves being in the spotlight.

If the genesis block did contain the image of a trollface (or any other 2008-era meme) instead of "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks", I could entertain this theory.


I often wonder what would happen if Satoshi’s wallet would actively start selling.

Not so much on the price but the principles that underpin Bitcoin

I, for the record, remain a believer.


It's easy to retain self control when you already want for literally nothing.


Well, not for Elon Musk.


Gwynne Shotwell created a company that built a reusable rocket. Elon gave his name and a pile of money to it.


Plenty of people with money in the world. Yet only Elon was willing to finance Shotwell.

And last I checked, the company’s name was SpaceX, not “Elon Musk’s Rocket Company”


Your comment doesn't negate the vaporware comment.


How? I’m no fanboy but delivering working products pretty much negates all accusations of peddling vaporware.


FSD. CyberTruck. Humanoid Robot. Semi.


Also: Neurolink. Boring Company. Twitter Acquisition.


You’re confusing marketing hyperbole for vaporware.


A man jumping around in a suit being sold as a robot isn't hyperbole, it's vaporware.
