Trump is gonna sell us out to this asshole...
And so many other assholes as well.
and not just us... ukraine, taiwan, gaza, there's a whole bunch of people he's gonna sell out, and he's taking bids apparently.
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.
If you take the rocket and let it sink into the ocean, you don't even need fuel.
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.
Oh my god! Elon is Zorg! How did I never see that?!
Elon is wish.com Zorg.
I'd say the zorg from amazon but apparently that's a different asshole
Lol at least Zorg admitted to being evil.
and was pretty charming. much more natural and human than elon.
The way he wields that stupid flamethrower around employees and such is SO Zorg!
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)
Go high enough and he either dies of cold or lack of oxygen.
Don't launch it into the sun. There's a perfectly good Mar a Lago down in Florida.
Why have the hurricanes avoided that place? Why can’t one good thing happen?
The Florida panhandle in the northeast gets the most hurricane activity by far. This is primarily due to the AMOC moving northeast from the Gulf of Mexico, creating a cooler pocket of turbulence on Florida’s east coast.
I guess the one good thing that will come from Trump’s acceleration of climate change will be when the AMOC breaks down, Mar-A-Lago will be unplayable soon after. Unfortunately, the UK will also lose most of its arable land, so it’s not really a great trade-off.
Into the sun is too classy, and expensive IMO.
Too difficult. Much easier to send someone out of orbit than into the sun.
My head canon. Remember when Elon launched a Tesla into space and there was a space suit in the drivers seat. He was in the suit.
The lizard people saw him as a liability and replaced him.
Sun is actually hard to reach. You need NASA. I'm sure their happy to help.
Well, wishes achieve nothing
Here comes Dunning Kruger boy wonder to broker a peace deal with the last world leader you'd want to talk to
Edit: I meant Putin but Trump is a close 2nd
when you talk to trump, you're really talking to putin. That latency in responses is him receiving instructions. Otherwise it's all in one ear, out the other.
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

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
