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?
“Government Efficiency Commission” run by Elon, nothing corrupt would come from that. /s
He’s mad because SpaceX got caught falsifying EPA documents and the FAA can’t keep letting them launch rockets with a wink and a nudge.
The FAA’s blatant favoritism has gotten so bad the EPA had to sue the FAA just to force them to admit they fucked up.
Shit’s wild.
Did not know this. Thanks!!
If Harris becomes president, Musk will never meet his original goal of putting a human on Mars by 2021!
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.
He can’t leave until he knocks up Taylor Swift?
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.
Trump promised him a spot in his administration as the head of a new government efficiency department.
Giving the man who runs every company he touches into the ground a spot on a government efficiency agency is peak conservative governance.
It’s a series of tubes!
Appointed by the person who ran every business he touches into the ground, including a casino multiple times. I don’t think efficiency means what either of them think it means.
If you’re measuring how quickly they can burn through cash, then they are remarkably efficient at that.
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.
“We can’t go to Mars now. Sorry guys… I got too divorced” -elmo must
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
hits blunt
“Space travel is like… Really hard.”
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?
He’s not self-aware so no, he doesn’t
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.
Chances are any colonies will be built underground or in lava tubes to shelter from radiation.
Even without that issue (maybe they spend all their time in a cave?), we don’t even know if a human fetus can develop healthily in a gravity lower than Earth’s.
Space X is just Ultor from Red Faction.
Very true. There’s also the issue of giving birth. Women would have to be spun around like salad in a spinner in order to simulate Earth gravity but I imagine that’s a perk for Elon.
I don’t think that’s an issue, water births are a thing and buoyancy results in much less gravity being felt than they would on Mars.
So I guess we just need to build the Sides. Then, 79 years later, giant robots.
That’s a really silly visual
There is a disgusting cartoon about this somewhere
He says that like everyone is clamoring to go live on Mars. I just want food and shelter, can we start with that?
Food, shelter, and a sub 2 second ping
