    I wish someone would do the right thing by strapping Elon to a rocket and launching it directly into the sun. The world needs a lot less billionaires.

      People say this all the time and it’s nonsense. The amount of delta V required is too large. Just launch them far enough to leave earth’s orbit and after that who cares? Russell’s Teapot becomes Russell’s Billionaire and everything goes back to normal.

        Exactly. You’d need 28.9km/s of Delta V to get something from the earth to the sun, because your starting velocity is the 107000km/h of the earth and you have to slow down that much.
        Instead it takes only 2.9km/s to send Musk to mars and make him fullfil his promise of humans on mars by 2024 (well, he won’t arrive this year as the trip takes 8 months, but we could forgive him that)

        I don’t want aliens finding his dna in billions of years and reviving him. Probably the meanest thing we could do to another species is giving them fifth element version of elon

          Thankfully there’s nothing particularly special about Elons DNA and so whatever they produce from it will be an especially sub-par human.

          Elon, like Trump, are cut from the same cloth: family wealth.

    The only possible explanation for this is that doesn’t suck is maybe they wanted to talk starlink, but that could’ve happened in a different setting without Trump.

      Remember when the supreme Court ruled that Colorado couldn’t keep him off the ballot because the insurrection clause only stated he couldn’t hold office, not run for it. Surely they will say he can’t hold office still because he broke his oath of office. *Eyeroll
