Any mention of Musk which has been done by at least two posters needs to stop unless people want the thread to turn political.  He is a highly polarizing figure.

He brought them back.

So?  He is still a highly partisan figure with very poor popularity wit most of us.

For once, please don't drag your partisan nonsense into what we ALL should be happy to see. And don't make the mistake of thinking you speak for 'most' of us. Regardless of anything else, the man is brilliant and is highly accomplished.

He is by definition a POLITICAL figure now, period end of story

He wears many hats...

• CEO and product architect of Tesla
• Founder, CEO, and chief engineer of Space X
• Owner, CTO and executive chairman of Twitter (now X)
• Founder of the Boring Company, XCorp., and xAI
• Co-founder of Neualink, OpenAI, Zip2, and X.com (part of PayPal)
• President of the Musk Foundation
• De facto leader of the DOGE temporary organization

You know he is a controversial partisan figure, @stevieb.  

I am happy and relieved that the astronauts are home safe as I stated twice.

He is by definition a political figure, period end of story. In addition to that fact he didn't actually found Tesla and many other companies that he takes credit for founding or people give him credit for founding. He took them over and co opted the genius of others.

It's a carefully crafted image that's not real when you just do some research.

If people aren't allowed to give critical opinions of him here than others shouldn't be allowed to fawn about him either. It's really that simple. You can talk about the astronauts coming back with out mentioning him at all, it's not difficult.

Evidently someone doesn't like the facts and had my posts removed but let her's stand.  Shame...........

@tansy So how come you keep it going?  And you don't speak for everyone here, nor do it, so tolerate others, let the mods decide, and quit harping on it.

These pictures of the spacecraft arriving back on Earth safe and sound are far more meaningful to me than watching them lift off and orbit our planet. I'm all for space exploration but this trip was a nail biter. Thank you Elon.

Unfortunately, this is where the "political" started.

It was a nice thread until this poster decided to stir the pot. 

It was totally unnecessary.

If that individual is mentioned these days, it will cause controversy.  He is POLITICAL.

Actually, @Mersha, it happened early on when another poster thanked EM as she referred to him:/

Very sad comment.  I am thankful.
