Phones, laptops, GPUs and many other modern highly integrated electronic products are repairable. Look it up, there are tons of videos on YouTube of people doing component level repairs. Leaked schematics make a huge difference here.

Retaking of Kharkiv and Kherson is marginal diminishing returns?

You lost me at "can be coded in few days".

They can levy fines on campaigns.

Care to elaborate?

Can you give me some examples of SpaceX innovations that disrupted the industry?

Here are some of my issues with SpaceX marketing:

  1) Cost to NASA/DoD seems to be similar to ULA.

  2) SpaceX continues to fly expandable boosters for missions above LEO and for heavier payloads. Reusable boosters have lower lift and range and require extensive refurbishment between missions. Upper stage is not reusable.

  3) SpaceX hasn't flown a single mission into deep space or Mars despite this being the stated goal of the company. In the same time, others have flown multiple rockets to Mars and to other planets. We have multiple rovers roaming the surface of Mars and satellites orbiting other planes all while SpaceX has contributed nothing to these efforts.

I personally see SpaceX contributions to the industry are mostly incremental:

  1) Booster reusability to LEO and for light payloads.

  3) Human rated capsule for space station resupply missions.

  3) High quality video content from launches.

  4) Increased interest in space exploration at the expense of unrealistic expectations in relation to cost and timelines.

Twitter is private. There is no stock to drive down.

Is there any actual public evidence of Twitter being management heavy outside single statement made by Musk?

His company X.com was acquired by PayPal.

Entrepreneur, salesman, celebrity or populariser? Sure. Definitely not an engineer.
