@cstross @SvenGeier I’m not a Musk fanboy (not by a longshot) but for whatever reason he did manage to make both Tesla and SpaceX into multi-billion dollar businesses which completely transformed their industries.
This required more than just luck.
@msnbc @msnbc-youtube-videos-msnbc his book is chock full of mistakes.

@LauraKT Iran definitely managed to slip several missiles last Israel's defenses:
- a hit close to Mossad's HQ (sorry, link to X: https://x.com/GeoConfirmed/status/1841512340887384502)
- air bases (https://x.com/GeoConfirmed/status/1841226485761249771, https://x.com/GeoConfirmed/status/1841206275050479719). Israel claims nothing major was hit (but it would say that). I very much doubt any F-35 was hit.
Using civ's killed as a yardstick is sickening, but that's Netanyahu's government.
That said, Iran *is* spreading death through proxies all over the Middle East
