| #14 SpaceX makes money with a lot of gummint contracts. Starlink might become profitable soon. Tesla is utterly screwed if gummint subsidies stop. You decide. |

| #13 Who thinks Elon is a scammer? People from Boeing and Nasa, most likely. Oh, and the super honorable ham and eggers at the DOJ who want their Baksheesh. |

| #5 I believe Caidin also wrote "Cyborg". Served as the genesis for "The Six Million Dollar Man". Loved that show as a kid. |

| #2 Ibelieve the word they are avoiding is marooned. Skid, That was a darned good movie - still holds up very well - and the final version of the book (Martin Caidin wrote three of them, one for each iteration of the space program) is still a can't-put-it-down page turner. Mike |
