    Coming from a motherfucker who made up hyperloop vaporware specifically to fuck up cali high speed railways

      Musk pretending he cares about rail while in reality his worst recurring night mare is him being in public transport with poor people. Classic.

      From my understanding California already had the red tape and funding figured out for it too. But they paused it because they wanted to look into the vaporware loop.

    Remember when Las Vegas was set to receive the country’s first high speed rail between there and LA until Elon Musk promised the city commission that he could do it cheaper using the hyperloop? And then the hyperloop became a murder subway until it eventually crumbled beneath his hubris?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

    Whine, whine, whine. It’s not like the US is the only people with a space program. Just go to fucking Russia already, you piece of shit.

    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.

    If Harris becomes president, Musk will never meet his original goal of putting a human on Mars by 2021!

    In other words, sensible politician doesn’t want to waste billions on an idiot’s idiotic unworkable ego-stroking plan like Elon’s mate will.

    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.

    Although it does make the three-titted chick from Total Recall way more realistic.

      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.

        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.

    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 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.

          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.

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

    Take note, the mars thing is propaganda and it has always been. “Space” is a business and a warzone

    • Flying SquidOP

      Notice Musk has never even been up in a SpaceX rocket, even for PR purposes like Bezos does. He’s probably too cowardly to do that, let alone go to Mars.

        I just assumed he didn’t go because they couldn’t build a spacesuit to fit his cybertruck shaped torso.

    It’s not even an excuse. It’s just pro-Trump propaganda. He wants a fellow sex pest in office.

      He should use the money he has now to build a rocket and send himself to Mars. That way he won’t have to worry about US government programs anymore.

          It’s actually a lot more difficult and expensive to send something to the sun than to send it to Mars.

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