Half of America is reciting the narcissists prayer on their behalf right now.
It should be looked into.
How can someone with that much money look like such a dork?
Because it's not the money, it's the autism.
It's the ugly growth on his neck. If he would just get that removed, we'd all like him much more.
His head? I know! Ew
I think you're giving too much credit to surgery. He'd still be a huge dork. That little flap of skin didn't dress him in the morning.
I assumed they were referring to his head...
Can we revoke his government contracts now?
Better: maybe this gives SpaceX leverage to boot Musk and get away from the madness before the X fiasco sinks Tesla
And all of his tax breaks too please
This is great, assuming Nelson or someone similar is NASA Admin after January and not Elon Musk. That’s a fucking terrifying thought.
Ooo please tell me Musk leaked some secrets… please tell me he’s about to get a dank cell someplace…. Unpleasant.
Hmm... I want him to be in a dark cell, but I also don't want Russia to have any advantages because of what he did.
Russia is collapsing, probably somewhere around 2025-2026, hi-tech won't help them. So as a trade-off I'd take a little secret to putin for an unpleasant cell for musko.
Then they sell that info to China. I'm still not happy about it. But I'll take it if it means Musk in a cell.
Oh yeah didn't think about that. Possibly to Iran and NK too...
Ohhhh boy. Don't fuck with the space program.
The severely under funded space program? Oh yeah, that things super valued.
Just because they're underfunded doesn't mean they lack teeth. SpaceX isn't launching in the US without them.
Well, NASA sometimes works with sensitive info and projects of which sometimes can get shared with their contractors, SpaceX included. Having Musk going through with his escapades, acting otherwise unstably, and now talking with an unfriendly figure to the US. It starts to raise some serious questions regarding national security. NASA is more or less just bringing it to attention.
Lol, everything in the states is under funded with the exception of the military, so it's a good thing the military doesn't need to send anything to space.
Edit: Apparently I dropped this /s
Our entire intelligence network is dependent on the space program because satellites.
Air Force and Space Force(cringe) often send up satellites and other material into space.

Also NASA was initially just a program to develop ICBMs

I'm aware of this. I don't understand what point you're making though. Are you saying that SpaceX hasn't sent up anything for the military?
I think we're confused by what you're saying.
