    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

    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.

    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.

    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 promised him a spot in his administration as the head of a new government efficiency department.

        Giving the man who runs every company he touches into the ground a spot on a government efficiency agency is peak conservative governance.

      Trump said he would create a government position just for him. He would also probably get some easier contracts and less oversight with SpaceX.

    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?

    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.

    If Harris becomes president, Musk will never meet his original goal of putting a human on Mars by 2021!

    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.

    Bobby and Elon in one picture?!? I think I might get retinal cancer from having just seen that.

      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?

    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?
