Elon deserves his own thread


Pretty impressive , some classic comments


Wonder why they don't just use one of those old style1960,s rockets that "got" astronauts to the moon and back with no problems....


Trump has said we’re going to Mars.
I guess the US taxpayer will be funding that with Musk being the recipient.
Musk has already received $80b from the taxpayer…will be interesting to see if Trump is onboard with Musk.


Or on the other hand…Musk looks to be gone soon. Trump might cut him adrift..or he might not. Interesting times.


Americans have really lost the plot on both sides.


Jackasses


Great news about the fact the astronauts stuck on the Space Station will hopefully be coming back safely soon. But as a reality check to the Thunderbirds fanboy schtick above, they have been up there for an extended period due to equipment failure on the Boeing built craft and budget considerations. The current mission is referred to as a normal crew rotation one.
“ NASA officials have said the two astronauts have had to remain on the ISS to maintain adequate staffing levels, and that it did not have the budget or the operational need to send a dedicated rescue spacecraft.”

Can’t see these budget considerations improving under DOGE oversight, unless of course the beneficiary of any funding largesse is the chief Doge himself. Good luck to them all.


Mars by 2026 , he’s not dragging the chain on getting there .


Yup, cept they keep blowin' up.

Actors strike? ;-)




One thing I think is a pretty weak act is people vandalising privately owned Teslas.
I don't like Elon, or Teslas that much for that matter, but I hope that shit isn't happening here.


Love the gravity free hair . These two would be pretty stoked and look to be in fairly good shape .

A poetic way with words
But was it ever thus? Did it just take the unalloyed unpleasantness of Elon Musk to make us see ourselves as we always were, toilet paper people fluttering on the whims of wealthy men’s media outlets, 8 billion dogshit golems, Frankingsteins made of farts?

"And so digital media surges right towards the money and JD Vance calls it freedom of speech, as if a barely sentient tapeworm reaching towards a clump of rotten offal was acting with some kind of moral imperative."
Oh, Stewart. Magic as always.
