    So I guess we’re just going to forget about that whole deal of banning safety protocols and allowing hundreds of people to be killed or permanently injured while working at SpaceX, all because Musk is terrified of the color yellow? If anyone is in the flight path of this launch, you might want to go out of town for a bit.

      I’ve never heard of this, but it tracks 100%. And wow I just looked it up and somehow it’s actually worse than you made it sound. He’s actually a lunatic.

      It’s a selective piece of information. It’s like saying “you shit every day”, which is most likely technically correct, but still implies something unnaturally bad. Accidents do happen at every company, after all, and what matters is the Incidents per Million Hours Worked.

        Sure accidents happen, but banning safety protocols is a whole level of insanity unto itself. Did you see the part were he also had all the backup beepers disabled on heavy machinery because they frightened him? I mean what’s next, is he going to start sending astronauts into space without space suits because the sound of the respirators is scary? Hey it’s just unnecessary safety equipment, all that matters is Musk gets his name in the news.
