Elon not deliver on a technology he promised?! That would be crazy.

"If they have hearings with young men who have been alienated by Democrat policies and actions"
There were no goddamn policies that alienated young men. It's a lie and you're a liar.
Landing on Mars is the easy part, getting back off is the hard one, even with the lower-than-Earth gravity. China has a bit of an advantage in that the Chinese government is willing to risk astronaut lives a lot more than the US.
Fortunately he's incompetent and has already run Tesla into the ground. The company is basically living off schizoid incels buying the stock. SpaceX's success is largely based on the fact that they keep Musk away from actual management, but with Tesla a smoking ruin he's going to push his way into that and mess it up too.
I hire and if you have a college degree I don't care what high school you went to. Hell, I don't care that much which college you went to as long as you have good experience.
You are a really poor writer. I hope English isn't your native language.
"Yes, this launch was a TEST
And it failed.
"It's not only designed to be completely re-usable (a never-before achieved thing) but to be as rapidly re-usable as an airliner"
Then I guess it failed in that task, huh? Don't think they'll be reusing it anymore.
People on the internet constantly complain that companies have no loyalty and will fire you at the drop of a hat, and companies never fire anyone for poor performance, and I suspect it is the same people often saying this.
In SAN FRANCISCO. Pretty sure they could be making more money in the private sector there.

"once the employer sees where they graduated from"
You actually believe any employer cares about what HIGH SCHOOL someone graduates from?!?!
Oh no, without meaningful homework our education system might become like South Korea's or Finland, oh wait. Homework is stupid. My grades sucked in high school because I just could not bring myself to do a lot of it. I ended up fine educationally speaking.
YES. THIS. FFS they didn't say ampersand, it wasn't a hacking attempt, this is ALL a bug.
I have been an EV driver for about 10 years (Nissan Leaf and Tesla M3). What Brembo is not commenting on is how the usage pattern of brake discs of EVs (including hybrids with enough battery) is radically different from ICE vehicles.
ICE vehicles use their brakes continually, every time they slow down. EVs regenerate the energy instead to refill the battery, that's why several models can be driven with a single pedal (raising the foot will slow down the car). Brakes in EVs tend to be used mostly for stationing (which does not wear the pads) and emergency braking or other special cases (very steep downhill, battery 100% full and few others). This means that particulate emission from EV brakes is already negligible.
This also means that, while ICE brakes wear regularly, EV brakes wear so slowly that they sometime rust instead, resulting in lower performance when an emergency occurs and they are suddenly needed. Here in Norway, automobile clubs and insurance companies actually recommend EV drivers to speed and brake hard once in a while to maintain brake pads efficiency.
So I would be more impressed if Brembo had produced a more rust-resistant brake pad that maintains performance even after being subject to salt and other corrosive conditions for weeks, because I never remember to do that hard brake thing (which implies finding a place where you can do it safely). That would be a brake pad that lasts a lot longer, possibly the entire life of the vehicle.
