I love that arguably the two most powerful men in the Western world are also the two dumbest and most immature idiots the world has ever seen. Incredible, really good.

theory-gary capitalism is a meritocracy

It's going to be fun seeing libs try to reconcile this contradiction

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

The purpose of a system is what it does which is why the crowning item coming off this current production line is: 2 jabbering nincompoops with too much power and no control.

So... they'll probably not even reconcile it. They'll just say "this isn't who we are" and then deploy a magic umbrella and sail away into the clouds.

Truly embarrassing how far we've fallen as a capitalist society when the richest man in the world cannot enact his will effortlessly.

They were both just too alpha for this to last forever 😔

Lmao if Trump does this it'll be another way he demonstrably better than Biden.

Also in hand sight how great of a strategy was it by the dems to give billions in subsidies to musk so he could turn around and donate a quarter bil to trump and beat them (again).

heartbreaking

This is gonna have the LIB S totally forgetting to blame anybody for the doge stuff, isn't it. Trump's team is gonna point the finger at Musk, Seig Heil Musk is gonna get welcomed to the resistance, and as usual nothing that is destroyed under a Republican admin is ever getting repaired.

Sounds about white.

would this shit effectively win the new moon race for china considering artemis is relying on spacex

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

Well, yes but also no since China is already winning the new moon race and the starship upper stage is a piece of shit that doesn't work.

[-] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago
