Yes, let's just listen to one company's exec bashing his competitors... I also find it hilarious how he completely glosses over the fact that the Falcon 1 was supposed to be their product and utterly failed in the market.

He is a rocket engineer that built Merlin and is now working on Raptor. Also, I don't know why it is important that Falcon 1 failed, they used the tech to go where the real money is. That just smart business.
