#1 already have. Don't like the man. Don't like his politics.
Not to mention he is quite 'mercurial' as a CEO, with every new fancy
catching his attention. Prefer more focus in the boardroom of the stocks I own.

This getting stupid.

From ads which break posts, requiring double link presses.

Now I have to have an account in Facebook to then click a link to go to the actual article.

Lol what a disaster of a policy.

@#4 ... Now I have to have an account in Facebook to then click a link to go to the actual article. ...

Huh?

I went to the NYTimes article without any FaceBook involvement.

Here's a paragraph from the article...

... Tim Ellis started Relativity Space after being inspired by Mr. Musk's pursuit of a rocket that could carry humans to Mars. Then he heard from other industry executives that individuals with ties to SpaceX were trying to block his efforts to raise money for his own Mars project. ...

Nice deflection attempt.

But not one of your current alias' better ones.
