    I wish someone would do the right thing by strapping Elon to a rocket and launching it directly into the sun. The world needs a lot less billionaires.

      People say this all the time and it’s nonsense. The amount of delta V required is too large. Just launch them far enough to leave earth’s orbit and after that who cares? Russell’s Teapot becomes Russell’s Billionaire and everything goes back to normal.

        If you take the rocket and let it sink into the ocean, you don’t even need fuel.

          Yea just put all of them on a submarine. It’s a method that has already been proven to work, along with guillotines!

        I don’t want aliens finding his dna in billions of years and reviving him. Probably the meanest thing we could do to another species is giving them fifth element version of elon

        Exactly. You’d need 28.9km/s of Delta V to get something from the earth to the sun, because your starting velocity is the 107000km/h of the earth and you have to slow down that much.
        Instead it takes only 2.9km/s to send Musk to mars and make him fullfil his promise of humans on mars by 2024 (well, he won’t arrive this year as the trip takes 8 months, but we could forgive him that)

        Russia is our enemy and Musk is committing espionage/treason by discussing American foreign policy with Russian officials, especially as someone with clearance.

        Why have the hurricanes avoided that place? Why can’t one good thing happen?

          The Florida panhandle in the northeast gets the most hurricane activity by far. This is primarily due to the AMOC moving northeast from the Gulf of Mexico, creating a cooler pocket of turbulence on Florida’s east coast.

          I guess the one good thing that will come from Trump’s acceleration of climate change will be when the AMOC breaks down, Mar-A-Lago will be unplayable soon after. Unfortunately, the UK will also lose most of its arable land, so it’s not really a great trade-off.

      Too difficult. Much easier to send someone out of orbit than into the sun.

      Into the sun is too classy, and expensive IMO.

      My head canon. Remember when Elon launched a Tesla into space and there was a space suit in the drivers seat. He was in the suit.

      The lizard people saw him as a liability and replaced him.

      Sun is actually hard to reach. You need NASA. I’m sure their happy to help.
