Okay, you need to understand this is what YOU think. It may also be what some others whose comments you’ve read think.
I do not think this in anyway, shape, or form, and I factually know there are others not thinking it.
Classic focus on your pocketbook, swept up in the noise that’s meant to make you fearful, uncertain and doubtful. Your like PacMan running into the ghost at every intersection.
More importantly it also shows you don’t understand the company (or the man) you’re invested in, even a little bit.
You arrived several years late to the party and missed all of what made Tesla. You even missed all of what made SpaceX, which was inexorably intertwined with Tesla.
I understand none of what I’ve said now or in the past few days will resonate with you or give you a lightbulb moment. You can’t know what you haven’t lived.
Do you even know the story of the fourth ever attempt by SpaceX to get a rocket to orbit and what led up to that ‘final’ try?
Do you know the stories of Model S late 2012 and then early 2013?
Not the superficial fluff, but the stories by the people who lived it? Have you felt what those people felt?
Here’s your phone a friend clue: Elon never gives up. Elon won’t ever give up. Elon always has another plan working in his head that nobody knows - that’s where the whole 3D chess crap came from. People make a joke of it now, but it came from multiples of factual evidence that Elon is always thinking way ahead. He’s always got another possible solution.
What’s happening right now is classic Elon. It’s Elon at his very best. It’s the guy you want leading the charge. It’s the guy people have followed into the unknown for more than a decade.
Instead of fretting and wringing your hands and searching for all the ways this can’t work, you should be sitting back, sipping your favorite beverage, waiting for the fireworks show.
*This*, that’s about to happen, that’s happening, is a pivotal moment akin to Model S’s unanimous (never before, not since) MotorTrend’s 2013 Car of the Year. Not just in Tesla’s history, but will be viewed in the future as a pivotal moment in human history. It’s that pivotal fourth and final rocket attempt by SpaceX.
Simply. I’m manically laughing. Hardly anyone knows what’s about to happen. Most everyone is going to be wrong.
