Elon Musk Sets The Record Straight

A man's private life is just that, private. What ever sad episode is unfolding between Mr. Musk and his former wife should not be fodder for the press or fodder for any of us for that matter.

You may say what you will about the new space policy or criticize someone for what stand they take. You can be critical of Mr. Musk's companies if you don't like the way the do business, but to air a couple's "dirty laundry" and push someone to the point where they HAVE to write something like this.. simply uncalled for.

Divorce is a painful experience for those involved, it is not a spectator sport. Let's stop the madness folks.

Good God, none of this is anybody's business except Musk and his wife and should never be put in the public domain. How would anybody like to see their private matters splashed in today's tabloid-soaked world? is there any wonder why most sane people would never want to become a "celebrity" under any circumstances? And Musk is enduring all of this to reduce the cost of access to space. Let's thank the man and leave him and his divorce alone. It's none of our damn business.

I feel almost guilty just reading Elon's post. This is no-one's business at all! It has nothing to do with SpaceX. I feel bad for him that he was forced to make a public statement in response to media and other unfair attention placed on what's supposed to be a personal, private life. We're drenched with "news" about Lindsey Lohan and LeBron James as it is (ugh); do ANY of us need more? I mean... really?

Apparently some of us do, otherwise these sordid tales wouldn't sell as well as they do. The media are collectively going to report on what gets their audience's attention, so do the math and you can see why this junk saturates our air and etherwaves.

Doesn't make it right, so I am not even going to read through Mr. Musk's blog. Haven't read his wife's, have skipped over the divorce articles, etc. I care about his rockets and cars, and what he does after hours is none of my concern.
