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.

Monorail…

casmael ,

6399 or 6990?

kautau ,

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

CodingCarpenter ,

What do you mean by murder subway?

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

Asafum ,

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.

UnfortunateShort ,

Didn’t they perform 3 test flights this year alone? (Under Biden?)

Yes but have you considered the fact that shut up and vote for Trump?

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:

  1. Getting satellites/payloads into orbit
  2. 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.

Myxomatosis ,

Go fuck yourself, rapist grifter asshole.

logicbomb ,

He should use the money he has now to build a rocket and send himself to Mars. That way he won’t have to worry about US government programs anymore.

Myxomatosis ,

I wish someone would strap him to a rocket and launch it into the sun.

logicbomb ,

It’s actually a lot more difficult and expensive to send something to the sun than to send it to Mars.

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

Zulu ,

Glad im not the only one. We’ll suffer together i guess.

ravhall ,

He can’t leave until he knocks up Taylor Swift?

HeyJoe , (edited )

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.

Zron ,

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

Gumbyyy ,

Really strong “the only way I’ll lose this election is if there’s massive fraud” vibes here.

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.

Paddzr ,

Russia won’t give him anywhere the same money or privileges.

cranakis ,

He’d get himself thrown out of a window in no time.

kent_eh ,

Strangely, I’m not especially bothered by that outcome.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

Yeah, I read Atlas Shrugged too…when I was 14.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Carrolade ,

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.

Coming from a motherfucker who made up hyperloop vaporware specifically to fuck up cali high speed railways

justsomeguy ,

Musk pretending he cares about rail while in reality his worst recurring night mare is him being in public transport with poor people. Classic.

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

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.

zante ,

Don’t need this shit on my feed.
