  • Elon Musk again claims one day Tesla will get bigger than Apple is today

    Trash Musk if you like but so far Space X is the only way American astronauts can get to the ISS other than aboard a Russian rocket. Boeing’s Starliner is still in the testing stages. As for EVs, Tesla is the progenitor of the class. Yes, the big car makers will eclipse Tesla at some point but they will do it on the backs of Tesla’s pioneering efforts. Like Jobs did for personal computing, Musk showed the way on both EVs and reusable rockets. Also like Jobs, Musk is a quirky character with an ego the size of Mount Rushmore.


    Theodore Roosevelt said, "Far better it is to dare mighty things to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much."
    Tesla weren't really pioneers for rockets or electric vehicles. They had some good first-to-market ideas for commercializing those technologies in years past but didn't really possess anything on the tech side that was all that unique. That's why competitors can catch up or surpass them when they actually apply themselves to do so. Tesla looks fairly stagnant right now. 
    A quick note about SpaceX. As lkrupp mentioned the only space company ever on planet Earth that has reusable rockets. SpaceX is on target to launch a total of 54 rockets this year mostly payload but they already have 2 crewed missions. The freakin' Artemis 1 has been sitting on the launch pad for months because of all the failures. Thanks, Orion, Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Aerojet Rocketdyne, and NASA. SpaceX has launched 10 rockets since Artemis was supposed to launch.

    Is it safe to say that the 11 Mac models listed are presumably all iMacs? I.e., no refreshed Mini's?

    Edit: I guess some models could be the rumoured 16-inch MBP.
    I have been holding off purchasing a new mac mini. I have been seeing price cuts all over the web.
