Who do I trust, the guy who was told “It is impossible to reuse rockets” by all NASA engineers and built a company around it, or the analyst described as follow:
> Warburton, who spent his career before Wall Street at the International Motor Vehicle Program — a partly academic, partly commercial organization based at MIT — wrote that "automation in final assembly doesn't work."
It doesn’t even matter since it’s not public money. Which makes me wonder about the analyst’s intent: Tell people not to invest? Do people not know Tesla is super-risky? but if they succeed to obliterate this anchored rule that automation doesn’t work in the final assembly, isn’t that a superwin that stakeholders dream of?
Friends who invested in Tesla didn’t “invest” so much as “donated” money for what they think is a good cause. And perhaps because it’s fun to hear the NASA chief say “I had asked my engineers and they told me it wasn’t possible”.

I’d pay for that kind of fun.
