If you are saying it - I clearly don’t need to google it, I can guess the rest b
perhaps they are all bad guys.

Because he's eccentric and all about renewable energy and making the world more sustainable.
Only Anonymous could make themselves look as lame as Elon Musk.
What happened the last time Anonymous threatened someone? Can vaguely remember them doing something similar before but feck all happening.

The Musk cult colliding with the bitcoin cult is peak 2021 lunacy.
Elon's PayPal mafia friend Peter Thiel appears to be in hot water.
Even Elon knows how important attacking the space is. I always thought Boss was right.

Founded SpaceX in order to attack the space. It all makes sense!
Boss is Elon Musk
It's an opinion I suppose. I happen to think this is a far, far better one, from the guy who is probably the inspiration of all the recent re-interest in Mars.If anyone wants to read a book about the mentality behind the urgent need to colonise Mars (plus general feckery involving Thiel at al) I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

I havent read it tbh, but I've read the reviews and summaries plus I'm aware of the strand of thinking that says being multi planet is a good insurance policy for humanity's survival (as well as the likes of Thiel having bolt holes in NZ). But I don't think the interest in Mars is necessarily driven by an apocalyptic view of circumstances on earth as the author appears to suggest, I think he's overstating it, if I am understanding the point right. There is a far more optimistic, and IMO interesting view from Dr Zubrin, that he articulates in that video (and his book The Case for Mars) which he's been advocating for a lot longer than say Musk has been building rockets (and Thiel has been building bunkers).Have you read the book I mentioned? What did you think of it?

What does any of that even mean?People complain about rich folk spending billions so they can have jaunts into space.
Rich folk so out of touch with reality think people are complaining about space and how space means hope and whatnot while the people on the planet we live on quickly dissolve and die.
Poorly written on my part, apologies. What I'm getting at is that people have been complaining that folk such as Musk and Branson are going off on space jaunts while poverty mounts across the world. And Musk's response completely ignores what the virtriol was about and instead tries to frame it as if people were attacking space.What does any of that even mean?

I'm not saying people are right. Just that Musk is ignoring what their anger was about in the first place.
Getting to space is expensive and from the perspective of the everyday person is always going to be. Even Starships best possible case is a cost of $2m per launch (IMO unlikely) which is stupendously cheap for a rocket, but still hugely expensive compared to most things.I love space exploration. I’m a massive SciFi nerd and think humanity’s push into space is one of the greatest human endeavours. But when I see stories about billionaires and the spawn of investment bankers jetting up into space whilst a pandemic rages on earth I can’t help but think we are living in dystopian hellscape.

Commercialisation of space is important for that reason. SpaceX are making money due to being the cheapest option by a long way to get things into orbit and aren't really funded by billionaire cash now. They won't be around forever if there's not a long term reason to go there. At the moment that's putting satellites into orbit, but long term that will have to be extraction of rare metals etc.
