I don't understand the claim. SpaceX is literally delivering? And I don't think ...

SpaceX is delivering despite Elmo's involvement.

The story is that they have a person (or people?) who are REALLY good at managing him and shoving him through the SpaceX offices so that he things he's contributing and out the back door before he has time to fuck anything up.

Yeah yeah, the person you dislike is stupid and the success of his multiple companies is just luck and everybody else does the work.

The product Elon has been most directly involved in is the Cybertruck which is a complete disaster. When talking about Elon you have to specify pre drug addict Elon and ketamine fried brain Elon. The latter makes very bad decisions.

The wild claim is that they will deliver data centres in space

Yeah, delivering using Falcon 9.

The Starship stack? Not so much. It's plagued, and will continue to be plagued, by endless problems. BO will beat them with NG.
