Why on earth (see what I did there) would E Musk buy the ISS? As far as "insisting" on failing rocket launches, he is actually "allowing" for early failure. His whole development model is 1) build something 2) try it 3) observe specifically why it fails to meet the objective 4) implement a fix 5) go back to 1).
It is actually brilliant and a radical departure from the approach NASA has taken where "failure is not an option". This results in tremendous over-design or at least not a focus on what truly matters. NASA requires caution. Musk is taking the position that "Failure where youdo not learn anythingis not an option." SpaceX only is overly cautious when a human being is actually involved.

In a video, he was mentioning that he looks at new ways of improving ‘objects’ by using the first principles of manufacturing while preserving the function. This rocket / starship (?) reflects rather the reinvention of the rocket and its landing method.

Ok, that is probably easy to conceptualize but more difficult to realize. Gravity and all other natural elements complicate the math to extremes when the design rests on minimalistic engines and minimal fuel.

Check out this article.
Dialogue is important, I'm curious what Musk has to say. Maybe Putin should invite him to the Kremlin where the cameras are not rolling.
Elon Musk aims to make dogecoin a recognized currency. Get there early. 100 euros can easily become 100,000 if this succeeds. Although the chance is small of course. But they also said that with bitcoin
He also made the price of bitcoin go to all time heights recently. However he made his bullish statement during the silver's short squeeze which makes me suspicious if it wasn't aimed at redirecting the capital flow from silver to cryptos. As we all know Tesla needs cheap silver for production.

Never really bought his hype. Though he says some inspiring stuff and has achieved some technological feats. In the age of 30 second attention spans many of his unrealistic and failed claims are soon forgotten but they're dragged out now and again to keep the dream alive. He say things that make you want to believe that he's on ourhe's on our sideand he may truly mean what he says but ultimately I think he's part of the big lie. Most global lies such as war, climate change and C19 depend on terror and the fear of imminent destruction, in his case they're feel good lies, hopium.
The channelThunderfoothas some interesting commentary on Musk's claims, some links below, they're about 30-40 minutes a piece with a little bit of satire and sarcasm thrown in.
