Amen, Brother. It's going to be right wing societal beatings until the US "socialists" actually organize about something real. For now, it's fascism all the way down.
To be honest, I don't think these types of questions serve to do anything but alienate ppl. It doesn't really matter if you are a concrete pourer or an upper echelon administrator.

He makes a lot of promises and gets a ton of government funding and pumps up his stocks. For example; the catchable booster is cool but it was not invented by him and his promises of giving boosters a turnaround of 24hrs or something is wildly absurd. Also, the Starship HLS has been delayed repeatedly and it was promised to carry thousands of pounds into space when it has repeatedly exploded while carrying no weight. These are just a couple of things and despite the failures, he continually wriggles out of consequences whilst pumping up stocks with bullshit.
If you want painfully nuanced analysis and critique of SpaceX, check out @commonsenseskeptic on YT. You can also check out thunderf00t who is more controversial due to a reactionary past.
Genuine question: Is artemis II a "Fuck You" to Elon Musk bc his shitty rockets cannot get out of orbit with 0 payload while the government builds one and sends it around the moon with people? Did Musk and the govt collaborate or what?
Trump has dodged a lot of laser beams. Idk if he will be able to dodge this one. The Draft is the alleged insta-kill of political efforts. If anybody is slippery enough to do it, it is him.
We’re in it bois. This is the end of the US. Ain’t no bringing back “normalcy” or decorum after reaching these depths.
