Unmasking Elon Musk

[nerrrd]

It might amuse you all that a few years back when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of lefty California the right biased outlets were panicking about a possible amendment to let him become president as he is also not USA born.

The biggest irony around Musk and DOGE is SpaceX being one of the biggest consumers of taxpayer dollars while monumentally not achieving the promised goals.
We did far more in Apollo era faster and for less money.

These oversize rockets with oversized promised payloads keep breaking proving laws of physics and that done things just don’t scale in real life compared to paper promises.

All for the intention to land on mars and build a colony in an environment that makes it physically impossible for many reasons.

Coincidentally just watched a YT video which claimed Boeing will be laying off half their SLS production team in April, which is a pretty good sign that any further NASA managed Artemis missions are about to be cancelled, which will let SpaceX off the hook over getting Starship working in the near to medium future (it was supposed to be landing astronauts on the moon as part of those missions.)

Mars is a pipe dream (ketamine dream?) by comparison, I’m still not convinced humans will be going there anytime soon.

Musk will monitor the situation to ensure there are no conflicts of interest. Yeah right.

Phyllis Fong,a 22 year veteran of the Department of Agriculture, was illegally terminated. She ignored the illegal sacking and turned up to work. She says she was manhandled out of the building. She had been investigating Musk's Neuralink. The DoA is responsible for animal welfare in the US.

We can but hope there is enough left of the US Court system uncorrupted to at least slow the illegalities.

YT channel Adam something and Thunderfoot have done good breakdowns on it.

Mars has zero atmosphere. That means it’s constantly getting peppered by big and small space debris. It be bit like a building site in a bad part of town constantly being shot at by a shotgun but 100 times worse.

Musks rocket also lands vertically. Getting off safely even with a shovel will be difficult let alone any light construction equipment.
Also the science from astronauts on space station basically says the human body deteriorates very quickley in a zero gravity environment. Something along the lines of bone density degeneration along with muscle mass you end up as a blob if in space to long.
And that kinda answers the why aliens haven’t visited thesis. Well not in a form we can visualise at least.
Also even with the claimed cargo capacity the spaceship can’t take enough water and food for the ten year mission to get there.
It’s a great sci-fi novel at best and a slow death in a tin can at worst.

Whichever, it's a one way trip, there will be no return tickets.

Oh and it wouldn't need to be a slow death. I believe the astronauts on the lunar landing missions had arrangements in place should their module head off into space through a mishap.

The latest GPS update keeps telling you to take the third reich too.

Don't really watch this guy much but what the other lady says is interesting if true

Mr Free Speech has apparently deactivated Kayne West's X account. Free speech does have its limits then.

Yeah she makes her point well. Musk was being investigated by a number of government watchdogs and he has fired people or cut funding to several so far and is working on others. His Space X could still be facing problems. Companies receiving tax payer dollars are supposed to report regularly providing whatever information is required. Space gets a lot of tax payer money so has many reports to make. Except they haven't made them.

Just heard on a podcast... ICE had a hotline for people to call and report illegal immigrants. The line had to be taken down because 90% of the calls were reporting Elon Musk.

For a business "genius" Musk is remarkably inept at problem solving. First the problem must be correctly identified. The only reason judges can over rule presidential actions is that the presidential actions are illegal or unconstitutional. It's not a judge problem. It's a Trump problem.

He's most likely well aware but knows that message will resonate with his supporters.

Although is most likely true, what difference does it make now? He is already voted in! Oops, I mean Trunt…

Keeping his masses whipped up, maintaining momentum, gaining further support, growing more division, the list potentially goes on, take your pick.

I just read something that musk only started taking kids with him everywhere after the CEO execution.
Whilst its sounds implausible to a parent that no human being would use their own child as a form of "human Shield", it does seem to line up with the dates...
