Elon Musk Has a New Excuse for Not Making It to Mars
Elon Musk Has a New Excuse for Not Making It to Mars
The billionaire says that if he doesn't successfully colonize Mars at some point in the next few years, you can blame Kamala Harris.
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.
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.
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.
Edit: I'm an idiot and misread this as the LA/SF track.
I have zero knowledge of anything about LA and Vegas so I can't comment on it at all.
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.
He'd get himself thrown out of a window in no time.
Strangely, I'm not especially bothered by that outcome.
Russia won't give him anywhere the same money or privileges.
The guy who deliberately tanked plans for high-speed rail is worried about high-speed rail.
The billionaire says that if he doesn't successfully colonize Mars at some point in the next few years, you can blame Kamala Harris.
You know, cause he's already so fucking close.
Can we please tie this man in a burlap sack and drop him in South Africa?
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?
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!!
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!
"Government Efficiency Commission" run by Elon, nothing corrupt would come from that. /s
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.
Stop using Twitter. Let him scream into the void and fade into obscurity.
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.
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.
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).
Kagen, Sotomayor, Coney Barrett.
Just depends how unique the persons name is. Nobody called Janet Reno just plain old Janet.
It also shows what the most identifiable parts of their names are Trump/Kamala vs. Donald/Harris
People call him Elon all the time
My broseph in christ, you tried to kill high-speed rail by promising magic-tube gadgetbahn that would make it obsolete any day now
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 said he would create a government position just for him. He would also probably get some easier contracts and less oversight with SpaceX.
He says that like everyone is clamoring to go live on Mars. I just want food and shelter, can we start with that?
Food, shelter, and a sub 2 second ping
I'm struggling to find a way to interpret this xit other than "I want to eliminate all regulations on industry!" Does Elon know how boring and insubstantial his thoughts have become?
He's not self-aware so no, he doesn't
It’s not even an excuse. It’s just pro-Trump propaganda. He wants a fellow sex pest in office.
Really strong "the only way I'll lose this election is if there's massive fraud" vibes here.
hits blunt
"Space travel is like... Really hard."
Yeah, I was amazed by Atlas Shrugged too...when I was 14.
I love that the two central conceits of Atlas Shrugged- that railroads would thrive without government intervention (good luck laying track without eminent domain) and that the great individualists of the world will thrive with a device that creates energy from static electricity in the air- are utterly ludicrous and her fans don't even consider that.
Oh come now. You know the Jews are suppressing all the free, infinite energy technologies so they can use them for themselves. How else are they powering their space lasers?
Checkmate, atheist.
God, people like him are the fucking worst because they have endless resources but their incompetence just keeps getting in their own way. Regulations are not your problem, it’s your inability to understand complex situations and lack of capacity to come up with solutions. So unless dumbass gets a perfect world, he can’t do shit. We already went to the fucking moon using slide rulers, fuck off with your loser whining.
Bobby and Elon in one picture?!? I think I might get retinal cancer from having just seen that.
Glad im not the only one. We'll suffer together i guess.
You know, I didn't think I could hate Musk more - but then he just one ups himself. It's almost impressive.
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
He can’t leave until he knocks up Taylor Swift?
Didn't they perform 3 test flights this year alone? (Under Biden?)
Getting a rocket (or even a spaceplane) into space and sending a crewed mission to mars are VERY different challenges.
Let alone the colonization claims/promises that have been made over the years.
And... this is exactly what musk has been living off of for over a decade now. Spacex is a company with a LOT of great accomplishments (mostly because it was actually founded by engineers from NASA and JPL who took advantage of a money mark to poach staff from every other aerospace company/org but...). But it is almost exclusively focused around:
- Getting satellites/payloads into orbit
- Crewed missions to orbital stations
But musk has spun that as he is a god of space and is going to be colonizing mars any day now. Which is a VERY VERY VERY different challenge.
Think of it like this. Someone is REALLY good at driving a speedboat around a local lake. And they keep talking about how they are going to be sailing across the Atlantic Ocean any day now.
Yes but have you considered the fact that shut up and vote for Trump?
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
Sounds like a win-win to me
NIMBY support Trump though, what is this fishmongery
Don’t need this shit on my feed.
