The ruling classes never doubt their own competency. See Marcus Licinius Crassus.

thunderf00t too

Musk is a troll at best.

"I said 'could,' not 'would'," will be his response. Presumably followed by some sort of "joke" attempt like, him just posting with no other context "morning would"

long, long history of a class bias that normalizes authoritarianism, yes sir

“Land” can be interpreted different ways.

Thank you.

When does Musk leave? It will take a year+ to get there. I think we can arrange a send off for him. Lot’s of Volunteers would help secure him in the launch vehicle…

A 7 month trip, one way, and there is not an existing launch vehicle nor travel capsule nor landing vehicle nor return plan nor staff plan? If we are just credulously printing anything, I think I will be able to bench 500 lbs next year, too

😄

Hey, so long as he's the one on the first ship outta here, I'm all for it. 😏

they literally have a "the world of elon musk" section karl lol funny how antisemitism and platforming nazis isnt a line item

Run a company that doesn't get reports of racist trea of Black employees? Be an attentive father? Take a stand against white nationalists?

But first he has to kill a few hundred desperate volunteer subjects for his creepy Neuralink venture.

Thanks to the US taxpayer, who subsidize SpaceX

when even Berger tweets: "Please stop asking Elon when Starship is going to land on Mars. He's always wrong..."

It was a forward looking statement. Let’s allow him to be optimistic. #drugs

The David Blaine of Mars expeditions *Musk pulls back curtain, the rocket has reached Mars during the commercial break*

This is art sir

Love it. The math doesn’t lie. We could do it with trump, but it’s always 2 weeks from now. Still all lies. Still linear, just not interesting.

Inverse function with an asymptote at 0 might fit better lol

And then, I guess, in 2034 when he gets that question he'll be saying there have already been people on Mars for two years. Which is completely absu—no, actually, you're right, that tracks.

There's just so much interesting and important shit the press doesn't cover because it doesn't sell ads

this is like the 10th time he’s promised it too 🙄

Run a social media site is one thing

If this turd were actually serious about getting us to Mars (and having us survive), he'd be investing heavily in projects similar to Biosphere 2. Otherwise, anyone he sends up might as well be Laika.

ZERO mention of the fact he's spent the last year primarily coddling white supremacists and authoritarian propagandists must just not be newsworthy that a guy like that receives billions in taxpayer dollars and has numerous significant security clearances

Natalie Angier, Natural Obsessions It's such a terrible book. The topic is fine, the people featured in it are all good scientists, the effort of the immersion was real, it should have been everything one would want, but the result is so awful.

certainly I could see some shrapnel hitting Mars

hell they could include the fact he claimed he would have people on Mars in 2023.

Well, it COULD land on Mars. It COULD also fall apart as soon as it tries to leave the Earth's atmosphere. It COULD just fall over on the launch pad, ignite it's rockets, and shoot straight up Musk's left nostril. It COULD spontaneously turn into a gigantic tower of corndogs. >w>

Obviously the NYTs just prints this without even slightly questioning it. It’s not like he has a history of making outlandish prediction that never happen.

I work reception in a hotel & take guest info & the people who drive teslas always make me double take. I want so badly to ask questions

As long as he's on the first flight to Mars, I'm ok with this.

It's more likely that this tweaker will end up being charged by the free world for being a fascist antisemitic jerk.

How long is that in Friedman Units?

like that time he ignored engineers in order to misrepresent automated vehicle technology, killing a large number of people

Still processing the triple negative to see if it should be interpreted literally or sarcastically. 🤔😅
