I mean I am not a fan of either the opposit is actually the case but you do realize that SpaceX is the only private company that can fly people to the ISS.

Their launch success rate is also extremely good. The Falcon 9 hasn't had a single failure since 2016 despite launching something like 230 times since then.
And that is 100% not the work of Elon but the real engineers at the company. He has no fucking idea how his own rockets work.
He can't even figure out how Twitter works, thank god he isn't doing engineering on those rockets. (Though he absolutely would try if he had the chance, make no mistake. He doesn't because he's not a licensed aerospace engineer and he can't get away with pretending to be one in an industry so heavily regulated.)
Well the most important thing is to post and talk about Musky on every possible medium at all time, every day & always.
Fair -_-
Jeff Bezos rides his own rocket
you heard it here
Elon ‘vaporware’ Musk will be first to ride the Hyperloop, Robotaxi, Cybertruck, Tesla Truck or fully self driving Tesla. As soon as they’re ready, any day now, really, honestly. He announced in 2017 that he would be sending two rockets with human colonists by 2022 and four ships carrying 200 people by 2024. Hmmm, I’m starting to doubt his honesty.
Not really.
SpaceX goes orbital, if you followed the Inspiration4 mission, the team spent 6 months training for their jaunt into space.
Blue Origin training course is a few weeks at most for going up on New Shepherd.
Musk is CEO Tesla and Chief Engineer of SpaceX, Chairman of Twitter, etc.. Bezo's is Chairman of Amazon as a means to give up his position in Amazon. Bezo's has 6 months to give up, Musk doesn't.
Also did you not watch the launch? Shatner was having a profound moment and Bezo's stomped on it.
Jared Isaacman (billionaire) did Inspiration4 and will do Polaris for the challenge. I get the impression Bezo did it for bragging rights. I think Musk is chasing being responsible for starting a Mars colony and probably wouldn't even care about going to Mars
Ocean gate in space anyone? A LA carte or as a bundle of billionaires
Well, that Rush guy certainly trusted his product.
Doesn't change the fact that he's a cloud of pink mist 3800 meters under water now.
Trust means nothing if there's no solid engineering behind the product.
Space Colonization lore
It also says a lot about the type of men they are.
