> Tesla's aren't THE most accessible (by cost) EV out there, but SpaceX def is.

SpaceX is... an accessible EV? What?




Most accessible satellite launcher...


Ah yes, because "what's the relative cost and complexity to procure a launch for my satellite?" is famously a real example of an accessibility problem faced by people with disabilities...


I'm pretty sure you know exactly what the poster meant ...

No, I don't. It obviously is trying to say something about accessibility and SpaceX, but I don't see how the sense of accessbility being discussed in the thread even applies to SpaceX, much less what claim is being made.


Agree. It's quite the jump going from a user-centric website to a space launch company that is used by corporations and governments. Like, okay, I guess SpaceX is extremely accessible compared to other options in the space industry, but why would that have any bearing on how accessible the Twitter website is for you and me day-to-day?


Starlink has created more information accessibility that twitter will ever will


But that’s not in any way shape or form the “accessibility” being talked about here.

Just because it’s the same word does not mean it’s the same meaning.


I wasn't sure how to put it into words and this was exactly what I had in mind.


Yes, but since we are judging a person for his merit…


Do you understand where you are?

This is a comment thread discussing accessibility at Twitter, in a post about Twitter discontinuing part of its platform. It’s not a place to circlejerk Musk’s achievements, regardless how much you would want that to be so.

Explain, in exact words, what about SpaceX in any way shape or form would indicate that they know how to handle user a11y and how that would transfer over to Twitter— you know, the thing we’re actually discussing here.


Most accessible (by cost) launch provider.
