For anyone who doesn't know it Thunderf00t is spelt with 2 zeros not 2 'o's. There's also Common Sense Skeptic here on YT and yes its spelt with a 'k'. I'm an aerospace engineer and both are very good on their basic facts. They aren't perfect but are pretty good. That said and despite all the nonsense there are a couple of things Elon has done that are very good and do deserve recognition. These things do not excuse the dumb and stupid things he's done but if we are being fair then he's done some good things. 1) Despite having nothing to do with the original development of the Tesla, without any doubt he has dragged the car industry out of its comfort zone and taken electric cars from novelty to main stream. His claims about being a founder are idiotic but he's broken the stranglehold that the fossil fuel companies had on transportation. Sadly their is a real chance Elon could wreck all that he has achieved by not dealing with the infrastructure issues needed to support electric vehicles. 2) Despite the issues with SpaceX's Starship (and there are many many issues there) what SpaceX has achieved is quite spectacular. The last American to fly to the ISS on the Russian Soyuz cost NASA $80 million. The current Crew Dragon system launched on Falcon rockets costs $70 million for 4 people. Its certainly not the revolutionary rocket his fans claim but its certainly a step in the right direction. When you compare Crew Dragon to what Boeing have done with their Starliner alternative then it becomes even more noticeable that its a great achievement. That said the list of things Elon had gotten WRONG are extensive and you can check out Thunderf00t and CSS for details there.
