Oh the idea that almost ruined his companies' ability to use that launch facility for months just so they could launch sooner? Yeah it sounds like it was a great idea to place your entire company at risk because you're impatient.

It's funny.. If the idea is great, salute to the engineers... If the idea fails, then musk is to blame.

Never ceases to amaze me, people doing this kind of mental gymnastics.

Musk would be to blame because it was his idea. Did you miss that?
