    Yup. The elites have completely lost it.

    Hey genius, if you can't even stop your own planets ecological collapse, what makes you think you can handle space? We're talking about living in an environment millions of times more volatile to life than the deep sea or Antarctica and you're not only trying to have humans live up there for long periods, but also in a way that somehow provides you with massive profit? Texas can't even handle a cold winter without deadly power failures, Australia can't stop catching fire every summer, the majority of the capitalist world shat its pants from a virus and you still think a capitalist society can survive long term life in space? Elons tourist shuttle couldn't even keep it's self from leaking piss!

    Every time you rich fucks open your idiot mouths it reminds me why you don't deserve your wealth. Take this mans blood money and give it to the teachers, the doctors, nurses, carers and everyone else who is smarter than this Lex Luther ass turd.

      I'm guess it would easier to move all the polluting factories to space than 8 billion people? This is basically Trail of Tears 2.0.

    The hubris and sheer arrogance of these people is fucking incredible

    Imagine thinking you're so prolific that you deserve an ENTIRE FUCKING PLANET to yourself

    It's true. Here is the list of people who can no longer remain on this planet:

      The future of humanity is space feudalism with Alexa as a slavemaster.

    Evacuative Malthusianism. It's fine to condemn billions of people to a 10x more precarious existence in a future space mass grave if it means he can flit about in-atmosphere, attended by machines and eating only five star meals dropped into the gravity well like early cold war satellite photography

    You'll cast us into space, will you Bezos? I'd fucking like to see you try, you absolute reptile

    This is exactly what happens in the universal century of Gundam. The poor move to space and live as immigrants on the space colonies while the wealthy remain on earth.

    What a beautiful future, where space station residents dream of not having to pay for oxygen or someday buying their own seeing a square foot of sod. Truly a utopia.
