ouch. that turn looked pretty rough. rest of the video was fun, a little too much "pointless" drifting around for my taste, I like my slides to be for something like in a rally race...but the jumps were sure fun. its funny, I used to have a Subaru STi; I followed the WRC, played rally car games, and I loved the sound of that wide open 4 cyl turbo'ed engine, with the anti-lag banging on the throttle lifts, but now I have an electric car and it all sounds a little ridiculous and dated.

I noticed this comment from Jesse: Why does a headwind vs tailwind matter for the roll performance? I can understand if he is talking about a change in wind speed during descent / a bit of wind shear? or that somehow near the ground there is some interaction with the surface that affects the wind just above it? otherwise the only reason a headwind would be preferred would be to slow down the landing runout right?

I remember when this package was announced, and despite what the lawsuit says, I don't think many people thought it was likely that Tesla would hit the stock price targets that kicked off the giant windfall for Elon. In 2018 Tesla was trading at $21 a share and many (like brent) thought it was on the way to bankruptcy. Fast-forward to 2022 and the stock spent much of the year between 300 and 400 a share. As I read it, Elon is basically getting an additional 10% of the company, and I think most shareholders back in 2018 would be happy to trade a 15-20x increase in stock price for sacrificing 10% of the shares.

True, but Musk seems to have a Midas touch there. SpaceX was built on a dream of colonizing Mars. If that isn't a passion project I am not sure what would be, but I agree with what I think is the thrust of your argument that space exploration is more about "things" and less about "people" vs a social media company, and working with people passion can make things go sideways in a hurry. It may not matter how good a product twitter turns out to be if too many users / potential users are turned off by his behavior / poor decisions.

It's hard to bet against Musk though isn't it? Here is a man who lead revolutions in two industries that most people would have said were impossible to revolutionize, the space industry and the auto industry. Can he do it with a social media company? I think he might, but it could be too hard and take too long... if he can stay out of his own way he has the resources and willingness to try a lot of ideas and apparently he can motivate well enough to get them implemented.

I don't find this that suspicious. People sometimes lurk on forums before joining, and if he wanted to post a question, he had to join, so join then post isn't so unusual. And although he seems to be visiting this thread regularly, he liked a few of the early responses, and last visit to forum was logged a few hours ago. I can see him not feeling like arguing any points. He got some advice, we probably will never know what he decided to do. I for one am glad he asked, and hope he takes a long hard look at the idea.
