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.
“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?
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.
It’s back btw.
Good thing they ended up doing the sensible thing.
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!!
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
