infernal machines posted:matt levine wrote about it earlier today. basically, spacex is a private company and they have a lot of leeway with reporting whatever the gently caress they want for profit/revenue also iirc elon "borrowed" a bunch of money from SpaceX to fund buying twitter because he didn't have the liquid cash on hand, something which is a hallmark of good corporate governance

There's a lot of cross linked accounts like that with all of musks companies. He's taken from SpaceX to fund his sewer digging company, Tesla helped pay for Twitter, he took from SpaceX to pay for things on Twitter and in Tesla. Any actual sane accountant and a decent board would have stopped him multiple times but lol when you take you board members out to do drugs that tends to not be an issue.

Even more funny is that super heavy is a proven rocket that works, and doesn't have nearly the complexity or issues of.stsrship, but musk is likely demanding that all launches need to be starship now because it's his baby and falcon heavy is old news.

well you have to also bear in mind the general Elon quotient where his mere proximity enturds even the best designed machines his dipshit miasma likely infected the ship, making it less airtight, more flammable and one of its thrusters to fire backwards no matter which way around you attach it

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/tesla-racism-sexual-harassment/paragraph 4 posted:On her second day of training, Turley noticed the phrase “Black bitches need to go home” written on the bathroom walls. Once she started working on the line, she heard her white male lead—the person who supervised her on the floor—use the N-word and other racial slurs like “coon,” according to a legal complaint she filed later. He also frequently used the words “bitch” and “oval office.” He “used just about every awful and offensive word I can think of,” Turley said in the filing. It wasn’t just him; other white coworkers also often used the N-word around her and her fellow Black coworkers. She frequently saw the word “bitch” written on the bathroom walls alongside the N-word and “KKK.”

i’ve never worked on a factory floor, how many times as bad is the tesla factory compared to a random car manufacturer? like horrible poo poo in the bathroom sounds unsurprising, but open use of the n word is pretty bad.
