    Would you like to travel in the advance party to Mars, aboard the space rocket of a man who can’t sort a livestream?

    No, and there’s not a shot in hell he’s putting a chip in my brain either.

      Oy I keep forgetting about his brain mutilation company. How in the hell could anyone trust him or any of his companies to give a crap about people or safety after all the shit they’ve been exposed for? All of his companies sound like a nightmare to work at, with accusations of rampant racism, misogyny, and toxic environments at basically all of them. But sure, I’ll let someone like that cut open my head and put shitty third-rate hardware inside my body. The audacity…

      In the meantime, my favourite recent headline on this interplanetary settlement programme ran “Elon Musk denies his sperm will seed Mars colony”. Sure. It’s just a hunch, but I feel like they’re going to have way more sperm than they need up there. It’s the other bit necessary for human life that you sense will be in shorter supply.

        Hey, I remember that movie!

        Speaking of which, has Musk officially crossed the threshold into literal Bond villainy IRL yet? If not, it’s gotta be imminent.

          Sadly all the bond villains were competent.
