    Elon fans compare him to Iron Man.

    If he ever builds a suit like that, it’ll be the work of his workers, not of him. And hopefully the onboard sentient suit AI will be have enough empathy to understand what’s going on and fly him into the sun as soon as he puts it on.

    As for SpaceX, it’s supposedly contracted by NASA but the reality is it’s NASA privatised. Watch China’s CSA slowly pull ahead on the same budget or less because its workers aren’t alienated and nobody’s leeching funds from it or forcing it to waste time on dumb shit (like launching a car into space) for market optics.
