Have you met hardware guys? This is not how they operate, in my experience.
replyI mean I might be a hardware guy myself depending on your definition. I've never dealt with rocket engineers.. Are they "hardware guys" according to you? If so it seems you are using that term incredibly broadly.
replyAre you trying to say that "hardware guys" don't care if they're working to advance the agenda from a Nazi?
replyHistorically, that has been true about rockets.
replyI mean, rocket guys have a long history of not minding advancing the agenda of a Nazi.
reply“They [sic] guy is a freaking nazi”
replyPresumably you’re at least fairly intelligent, nonetheless propaganda has done its job. Fascinating…
Just FYI, engineers are one of the groups most likely to lean right.
I’m hopeful tomorrow’s launch goes flawlessly!
Propaganda? He literally performed nazi salutes at a high visibility event. Not to mention all the wacko stuff he posts on twitter. A brilliant innovator can also have significant mental health issues.
reply> Just FYI, engineers are one of the groups most likely to lean right.
replyleaning right is one thing. Supporting Elon and Trump and MAGA is leaning far right.
OK deanCommie

replyThat's makes a lot of sense becuase the Nazi's were notorius for not having good rocket engineers
replyThe whole DOGE debacle and in general the broad radicalization of western male youths has made me very cynical about the ethics of "young brilliant engineers".
replynot to say the archetype you describe doesn't exist, but disappointingly I am convinced they are far from the majority.
