Not quite.

The article makes Ariane look uncompetitive and that its complaining about it. Whereas actually SpaceX are getting pretty massive government subsidies and even then, Ariana is actually cheaper for commercial launches. Right, wrong or indifferent, what's being pointed out here is US commercial welfare. The article is either putting a spin bias on it or is at minimum poorly worded - ars technica :).

"SpaceX is charging the US government 100 million dollar per launch, but launches for European customers are much cheaper." Essentially, he says, launches for the US military and NASA are subsidizing SpaceX's commercial launch business.

I think the article fairly articulates the arguments that Charmeau is making. It's just that the author is also rightly pointing out his hypocrisy. Also by calling Spacex's commercial launches "subsidized", he's suggesting that the commercial prices would not be possible without the government contracts. That, in and of itself, is a non sequitur.

Someone that is brilliant would be able to understand how to deal with basic automotive quality issues. They guy's cars are ****ty, because Tesla is not a manufacturing company, and that doesn't seem to be changing.

Sounds like Edmunds and Consumer Reports have serious issues as well:

Why?

Maybe their dumb-ss CEO should focus on, you know, Production 101.

I think I’m about done with that company. They just don’t get it.

Interesting study about white racial resentment and attitudes towards welfare programs.

What was the most surprising finding?

Honestly, to me, it was this last finding. ... We showed them graphs of whites' and minorities' income trends — and these were made up. But in the racial threat condition, we showed them [also fabricated data] that whites' incomes were declining.

So I would think, rationally, that you should want to support programs that benefit whites in this condition, right? But we didn't find that. We didn't find that they wanted to support programs that benefit whites when whites' incomes are declining. Instead, we found they wanted to cut programs that they perceived as benefiting minorities.

That is sort of contradictory to me. Can you break that down?

The way that we understood this is that those perceptions [that] whites' income advantage were declining were perceived as a threat to white status and this status threat increased their feelings of resentment of minorities.

So, it was less a rational response to incomes declining, "How can we help people whose incomes are declining?" And more about, "This is a feeling that the status position that I've become accustomed to is slipping away." And that increases resentment of minorities, and so, it's a more emotional response that leads them to want to cut welfare programs to help the poor.
