He built a team, that in turn designed and built the rocket. IMHO his political views are borderline crazy, but can't deny that Mr Musk has mad skills to attract and motivate top talent to work for him.
Looks like an interesting service. Maybe you can provide a little bit of extra explanation what you're doing. SaaS is an overused term and it means different things to different people.
Passengers going through without document checks is a minor element of Schengen. The heavy hitter are the trucks passing borders much faster and with no admin expenses - saves EU countries many billions of EUR annually.

In a pure economic efficiency sense you might very well be right. But the "illusion" that borders without border control used to give shouldn't be completely disregarded either. Pre 2015 (and Corona) when you could just roam around without ever showing ID just felt very different. It didn't feel like I was moving between distinct and sovereign countries, but more like moving between states in the U.S: "Oh now we crossed in to Texas cowboy noises".
Especially if you live in a border region (e.g Malmö-Copenhagen) and commute across the border, you really feel the difference and might even consider stop doing that because of hassle and increases in travel time.
During corona the closed Finish/Swedish border in Happaranda/Torneå just felt surreal, most warlike experience I've ever had. These cities are essentially one, and all of a sudden families, friends, businesses and their employees were split with fences and armed people stopping them.
Life's too short to give a real email address to any random web site that requires registration. One reason is privacy, as they will inevitably sell one's data to a thousand data brokers. Second reason is to avoid having to deal with all the spam, that will again inevitably come. Even if unsubscribed from everything, we've change our policy emails and other nonsense will keep wasting one's time.
I have my own SMTP server that I use for all purposes. I have set up a separate address for each person/service that I use email with. If I receive spam or other unwanted messages, then it is easy to delete that email address, which will cause the SMTP server to return an error message to any client that tries to send messages to that address.
This statement is completely wrong. There are millions of engineers in the world and most of them live in countries like China, India and Russia. Very few of them use MacBooks.
The vast majority of the software engineers in big companies (that employ a lot more people than big tech and startups combined) who use Java and C# also have predominately Windows laptops (as their employers can manage Windows laptops a lot easier, have agreements with vendors like Dell to buy them with a discount, have software like AV that doesn't support MacOS, etc.).
On top of that MacBooks don't have the best screens and are not the best built. Many Windows laptops have OLED screens or 4K IPS screens. There are premium Windows laptops made out of magnesium and carbon fiber.
I'm an American, so maybe the situation is different elsewhere.
Every company I've worked for during the last 12 years gives out MacBook Pros. And I've been developing using Scala / Java for the last 20 years.
Employers manage Macs just fine, this isn't 1999. There have been studies showing that Macs have lower IT maintenance costs compared to Windows.
I admit that I haven't dealt with Windows devices in a long time, maybe there are some good ones available now, but I find your statements to be beyond belief. Apple Silicon Macs have blown the doors off the competition, out performing all but top-end Intel laptops, while using a fraction of the power (and I never even hear the fans come on).
