"Elon Musk: SpaceX Raptor rocket engine ready for Starship. A test of the Raptor engine shows it's powerful enough for Starship and the Super Heavy rocket"

Not the 200+ tons of thrust or crazy chamber pressures earlier promised, but still. The future runs on methane.

Edit: Also, can we stop giving Musk credit for things his engineering teams actually accomplish?

Did he get f**k by the SEC yet

TBF to Comrade, the billionaire-worship is out of control.

I was reading about the blackmail-Bezos things on Reddit, and the response is absolutely insane. The top posts rotate heavily around the idea that he is a man of tremendous integrity for exposing this scheme. It's like... what the actual f**k? Not only does he treat his employees terribly, but he is a rent-seeker and welfare bum, constantly seeking out subsidies. And to top it all off, the reason he is in this scenario is because he cheated on his wife with his friends wife - literally the biggest no-no in the bro code, and a clear sign that he has no integrity whatsoever.

musky's rent seeking is annoying as well, but on the other hand, he's a kind of guy who makes a crazy goal and then delivers on it, which i think is pretty f**k awesome. further a lot of that rent seeking is because he's trying to tackle energy issues here on earth. i don't think anyone has said his employees are treated like shit though, but he's got a lot of highly technical people working for him. i think he was already paying over 15 an hour for forklift drivers

Tell that to the employees pissing in bottles because they can't make time to go to the bathroom.
