          There should be a louigi tracker. I feel like somebody should have have something we can all watch like people tracked covid back in the day. It just seems the odds of people getting louigi’d is just going to keep rising so it may as well get tracked.

          No we really don’t. Luigi was an idiot. He shot a subsidiary CEO worth some $40 million - Brian Thompson was closer to working class wealth than to Elon’s wealth. Did nothing to fight the real enemy, who have quite simply continued unabated and even accelerated their efforts to control everything since.

      Come on, stop with that. It’s not because he’s made an “”““odd gesture””“”, repeatedly supported political figures from nazi-founded far-right parties, supported open neo-nazis just as much, xat nazi dogwhistles and other great replacement theories wherever he could that he’s a nazi.

      To be fair, most of Germany’s current crop of Nazis are more like the grandchildren or great grandchildren of the original Nazis. The AfD isn’t actually that popular with the older generations. They’ve got the strongest support from Gen X. Grannys against the Right (Omas gegen Rechts) is probably the largest antifascist movement currently active in Germany.

      South African socialized under the Apartheid, sharing pseudoscientific racist memes for years, has eugenics and impregnation fetish, supports AfD and states they are the future of Germany and western civilization, renames himself Kekius Maximus, supports trump and does the salute towards the crowd right after saying that the “future of our civilization is [being] secure[d]” and then does it one more time facing der Führer. Whoever isn’t calling this out as a nazi salute is a nazi normalizer.

          Satellites are above individual countries’ airspace, and not many countries have the capability to destroy satellites. Not to mention, Ukraine is relying on starlink for their defence.

                And during those few months, that whole band around the earth is unusable by any country. If Germany wanted to do something that would hurt Elon, they could just take over their gigafactory and sell Tesla’s with a VW logo on them or something.

                Of course that would undermine the rule of law and a bunch of other things within Germany, so it’s not exactly something that would be good in the long term.

        The factory doesn’t need to be a reason. Someone else would fly there instead of him and he’d just do remote. That factory won’t go away either way.

        If Elon was out of the picture, I’d be fine with SpaceX. They’ve done some cool things (reusable, self landing, mass produced rockets is a pretty great achievement) and would be in a better spot if he wasn’t at the helm pushing Starship to its doom.

        To be fair, NASA would happily absorb SpaceX given the money and ability to. The Falcon series is exactly what they need and they could properly develop Starship.

          If we turned SpaceX into a worker’s co-op then I would also be fine with it, but I don’t think replacing Elon with another billionaire would help anything. I truly believe nearly every single billionaire on earth is morally bankrupt and far too detached from reality. The best case scenario for the continuation of billionaires is that live like evil dragons hoarding all their wealth while the planet burns… But far too often, billionaires use their wealth to erode democracy and to ratchet the world towards fascism.

          If we truly want to save our world then billionaires need to be abolished, capitalism needs to be converted into market socialism, and we need to make education and improving democracy our #1 priorities so that we can actually build functioning science driven governments that are willing to fight for data proven policies
