Worse. Edison at least bought out ideas that were viable and not just super-sized scams.

Re: SpaceX in financial trouble
If there was a sci-fi novel with a megalomaniac billionaire who was the son of an Apartheid emerald mine owner, and he was privatizing space exploration so the public no longer has a say in it…you know that would be considered bad, right? The heroes would fight to stop SpaceX.
The fact that anyone considers SpaceX as anything other than a continuation of the transfer of public sector science, that was run for the public good, into the hands of billionaires is a testament to our propaganda. Having space exploration controlled by one billionaire is bad.
Remember in the 60s when rockets launched and the credit was given to the scientists and astronauts that actually made it happen?
Now it’s given to the billionaire who pillaged NASA tech and is now using it as his playground and promotion for his cars. That’s bad. SpaceX is bad.
