I support everyone's right to steal from Elon.

Elon didn’t build Starship, underpaid engineers did. And China steals from everybody.

SpaceX engineers are overworked, but not really underpaid compared to the industry. But they should probably be paid more given the workload and hours.

Yup. For the record, when I say "underpaid" I don't mean not paid a living wage, I mean paid less than they're worth.

Buran is an old Soviet design, nothing to do with Elon, as far as I know.

I assumed he was just continuing the joke, so it's important to remember that it's always ok to steal from oligarchs.
