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.
Monorail…
I heard those things are awfully loud.
It glides as lightly as a cloud.
6399 or 6990?
6991, it has a robot
Oooooooh robot 🫨
Or the fact that the whole thing was a gimmick to stop the rail from being built so that it wouldn’t affect the sales of teslas.

And the fact that he can suck it because it’s still happening

What do you mean by murder subway?
Putting humans in an extremely low atmosphere environment… underground. I let you think of the really bad accidents that could occur from that. I’ll start you off with, what if there’s a fire? What if there’s a leak? Or an earthquake?
It’s got all the terror of space, but you’ve also got thousands of pounds of earth overhead. Makes Oceangate’s Titan sub seem downright safe by comparison.

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.
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
Space X is just Ultor from Red Faction.
Chances are any colonies will be built underground or in lava tubes to shelter from radiation.
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
NIMBY support Trump though, what is this fishmongery
Don’t need this shit on my feed.
Take note, the mars thing is propaganda and it has always been. “Space” is a business and a warzone
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.
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.
Russia won’t give him anywhere the same money or privileges.
He’d get himself thrown out of a window in no time.
Strangely, I’m not especially bothered by that outcome.
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
“Government Efficiency Commission” run by Elon, nothing corrupt would come from that. /s
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?
hits blunt
“Space travel is like… Really hard.”
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!!
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.
Go fuck yourself, rapist grifter asshole.
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.
I wish someone would strap him to a rocket and launch it into the sun.
It’s actually a lot more difficult and expensive to send something to the sun than to send it to Mars.
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).
It also shows what the most identifiable parts of their names are Trump/Kamala vs. Donald/Harris
Kagen, Sotomayor, Coney Barrett.
Just depends how unique the persons name is. Nobody called Janet Reno just plain old Janet.
