    Didn’t he himself get one high-speed rail initiative derailed so he could pimp his techbro version of a subway for his asshole customers?

    What a piece of shit…

    That “government efficiency office” is literally the position Trump offered him…

    “Trump wants to put me in charge and she doesn’t so wah wah wah!”

    As usual: get fucked muskrat.

    Remember, he left Trump back in 2017. I wonder what deal he made with him this time that makes him so dedicated again. It’s kind of hard to impress someone who has everything, so it must be more power.

      Trump said he would create a government position just for him. He would also probably get some easier contracts and less oversight with SpaceX.

        Giving the man who runs every company he touches into the ground a spot on a government efficiency agency is peak conservative governance.

    The guy who deliberately tanked plans for high-speed rail is worried about high-speed rail.

    The billionaire says that if he doesn’t successfully colonize Mars at some point in the next few years, you can blame Kamala Harris.

    You know, cause he’s already so fucking close.

    Can we please tie this man in a burlap sack and drop him in South Africa?

    Ha, this is just him admitting that she’ll win. Just like trump calling Walz the future vice president. Losers are quiet quitting their fascism.

    Mars with current technology is completely unfeasible. Musk uses it to get public support for more funding for space x. It’s unsurprising he knows Trump would give him more money so he’s backing trump

    This post is a great example of how men are referred to by their last name and women by their first. Most people will feel a person is more competent when referred to by their last name instead of their first (e.g. Merkel is more competent than Angela).

      Kagen, Sotomayor, Coney Barrett.

      Just depends how unique the persons name is. Nobody called Janet Reno just plain old Janet.

      It also shows what the most identifiable parts of their names are Trump/Kamala vs. Donald/Harris

    I’m struggling to find a way to interpret this xit other than “I want to eliminate all regulations on industry!” Does Elon know how boring and insubstantial his thoughts have become?

    The reason you’re not ever living on Mars is that it has no magnetosphere. Good fucking luck surviving any length of time with constant ionising radiation slapping the shit out of your DNA. This fact alone should have shut down any discussion of feasibility about colonising Mars.

    He says that like everyone is clamoring to go live on Mars. I just want food and shelter, can we start with that?
