What does Elon even do at SpaceX if he’s “start-up”-ing at DOGE?

| Seems like SpaceX functions well without him. Which begs the question, what does he even do to earn his exorbitant salary? |

He takes on more risk in an afternoon than you will your entire life.
He hires more people than you ever will. He leads a company that not only launches rockets, but also unlaunches rockets using chopsticks. He pays himself whatever he wants and there is nothing wrong with that. |

He hired Shotwell and gave her free rein and loads of cash. That was enough.
As for risk, coming from emerald mine money, sure it was a big swing of his PayPal winnings, but it’s not like he would end up homeless or have to get a regular job even if all the rockets blew up. |

| He lives on USG handouts. In short, a welfare recipient. |

He is also one of the most terrible people in the world, so there’s that. |

That's not the meaning of 'begs the question' |

I can see you think you "got him", somehow. 
it's really getting pitiful around here. |

OK, I will. It's a private company. It doesn't impact me. I don't live my life on jealousy unlike you. So I don't care. It's not a blip on my radar. |

| He is commmiting so many crimes and bragging about it on Twitter. Trump always has a fall guy, he’s such a slime ball. |

He wastes enough money in an afternoon to feed and house all the hungry kids in this country, and possibly a few others. He fires more people than I ever would, and with less regard than I would show the people who provided my wealth. He buys companies that do cool things, becomes the face of them, and then runs them into the ground with his lackadaisical leadership policies and lack of actual, competent authority. Based. He is a greedy pig who only wants for himself. Devoid of empathy and ethics, he revels in the misfortune of others. A true psychopath. He's butt-ugly, and built like a Tesla truck. |

I hope it's one of the ones with the fireworks!
