Well, here’s the thing. I am rooting for private space exploration. I want Space X to succeed.

But I am very skeptical of anything Elon Musk is connected with.

I’m interested in WHY.
I see the TESLA cars on the road every day. Still being build, and sold.
I see rockets fired into space, like YESTERDAY. And more testing and innovation.
I see holes actually being bored in the ground.
I see flamethrowers have been sold and delivered.

Is he right on everything? Hell no, but is he trying to do something more than a stupid hedge fund, YES.

I give the guy credit, he fails, but it doesn’t keep him down. That our government gives him money because he is doing stuff, making big changes, trying, I can’t fault the guy.

Give me any other name, ANY, just one, who you think is doing as much as Elon Musk to advance multiple courses of science that takes zero federal or tax dollars. I’ll wait.

The one where even I would agree with you was the:

“Hyper tunnel”

There were all these people ooh’ing and aaah’ing. Cameras and flash-bulbs, sexy chicks and music. It was other-wordly.

OVER A FREAKING TUNNEL.

It was so ordinary they had to doll it up with glowing neon lights, to give it that “tech” feel.

I couldn’t believe it. It was clearly a run-of-the-mill tunnel, meh, I’d say maybe a bit more precise, even the car inside footage did still reveal a pretty good amount of shake.

The rockets and Tesla stuff I totally love, but.....that TUNNEL stuff with credulous people having orgasms....that gave me the chills.

I made one in the snow when I was 6 years old but no one threw money at me.

Are you skeptical of the media that almost always portrays Musk in the most negative way like they do with President Trump?
