Never forget the wealthy would happily fly an untested, unverified rocket directly into your house, killing you and your family generations over and then would go on TV and blame you for it.
they all literally want to get to act like Stockton Rush and his amazing imploding submersible company.
If Musk wants to launch rockets so badly, we should tie him to a rocket and fire him at Tel Aviv.
It's so gd stupid
What would be easier y'all terraforming Mars or abolishing capitalism and figuring out how to scrub CO2 from the atmosphere
CNSA should land armed taikonauts in secret then ambush the first billionaire landing party for an impromptu interstellar struggle session
For a liberal, it is easier to imagine end of the world than end of the capitalism.
This is what I tell people. Like even the most climate change addled earth is immensely more habitable for humans than Mars is.
If we solve our problems here... Ya know by ending capitalism... Then we can start doing truly badass humanity spanning achievements. Terra forming mars? Why not give it a go once we've got everyone fed and housed here. Surely it'd be a cool project. But as a solution? Entirely foolish.
Facts. Even God the damn Antarctic or the sahara are more liveable on their worst days
Literally. The Sahara with 50 years of more climate change will be more habitable than 50 years of intensively terra forming the best parts of mars...
And yet the unrealistic thing is simply stopping climate change.
I'm reading the book A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought this Through? Sheesh some things I haven't considered.
Also if humanity actually does become interplanetary. What kind of precedent do we set with how we take care of our home planet? It creates a culture of hyperdisposability. Consoom all the resources on one planet, then hop off its carcass to the next.
Then we won’t exactly be “interplanetary” then, just us on one planet we haven’t ruined yet. And I’m saying this while humoring Elons initial delusions.
Hexbear really have emojis for everything i can imagine and everything i cannot imagine too.
it's honestly overwhelming sometimes. i need to create a keyword cheat sheet because you only get a quick menu for 20 (?) of your most frequently used ones
not a complaint though you can never have enough
I don't think it was ever about protecting the environment with the electric cars, more about owning the libs via king bazinga's racism.
talked to a couple who has one of the first year Teslas, the battery has lost a good portion of its range capacity and they are worried they won't be able to resell it for much
This is going to be a problem with all electric vehicles, which makes it that much worse that we refuse to make anything affordable and we’ve essentially banned China from selling theirs here.
I love the hot-swap design where the batteries are modular and replaceable. "charging" is swapping your battery for a fully charged one. I read somewhere that some cities in China have been using this for transit buses
it's in this video somebody posted here on Hexbear over the summer. these American dudes visited China and had their minds absolutely blown.
my husband and I just writhed in envy the whole time we watched it.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Are they one of those who bought a Tesla as "an investment?" If so: lol. lmao, even.
There was that one bazinga brain who sold a bunch of his stuff and bought a cybertruck for that reason, then had all the problems cybertrucks have had. Still loves the truck though.
Bazinga brain is so good and has made it's way into my irl discourse
yeah I can't find any references to it earlier than like november 2021 (and that one was from you)
There's also this post which I'm assuming the deleted comments are referring to the Musk cameo on big bang theory?
Nothing will probably happen to him even if the Democrats do win
I'm just so tired of this fucking idiot coasting from embarrassing failure to embarrassing failure without anything approaching real consequences while simultaneously just becoming more and more of a brazen Nazi
On the other hand I can't imagine how much more awful and insufferable he will be if Trump wins
Yea if dems win step one is gonna be giving him a billion dollars to "bridge the divide"
He will continue to post accounts called "HitlerLover1488" asking if she's actually fidel Castro with a boob job.
It just makes it all the more puzzling why tf he wanted to be the Tesla guy at all? Shouldn’t someone like Elon Musk be disgusted at EVs because they don’t do emissions (and that’s uncool!)
I do not think that this man should have a Fish license. I also do not think he should have a Meat license, a Vegetable license, a Fruit license or any alternative way to get nutrition.
Another great example of how if somebodynis complaining about "ridiculous regualtions" it's because they want to break those regulations.
"Why the fuck do I need a permit from the fish people" - person who keeps shooting exploding rockets full of rocket fuel into the gulf of Mexico
Everyone’s all “law and order” until we come across one of the few remaining laws that apply to elitist white men. Suddenly it’s all “legality =/= morality”
- Show"The bad evil regulations are why we still don't have the bazinga Mhurs rockets"
