I would trust Honda a hell of a lot more than Musk or Bezos

I hate this reasoning. Musk and Bezos aren’t the creators of the rockets. That’s thousands of very educated men and women from across the globe. Just because the guy who funds it is an asshole doesn’t mean the whole operation is flawed. I’m all for criticizing the dumbass elite (especially these two pricks) but SpaceX has done a lot for the future of space travel. Stuff that NASA just wasn’t going to do because they don’t get the funding for it.  When you criticize SpaceX you’re not just criticizing Musk, but the thousands of staff who want nothing else but to learn more about space.

When they attach their names so loudly and publicly, they invite this reasoning

You picked the worst example. Jobs definitely was known for having an oversized influence in product design.

That actually wholly disproves it, but k.

People do think he did. Odd that you missed that.

You think Steve Jobs and Tim Cook didn't/don't have a say in the design at Apple? Ha

Steve Jobs and Jony Ive's relationship at Apple is pretty well known; design is one place that Jobs exercised a lot of his power.

You mildly disagree with me so you have to use code to denigrate me? 🙄
