Stop giving him money. That’s the key to every problem.
Now we need to get NASA and the DOD to stop giving him money too.
are there any other viable domestic rocket companies that launch as often as SpaceX does?
Rocketlab
How about rocket companies that can get crew to the ISS and back?
Larger ship is in development, might be able to handle a crewed mission.
Also the question was about cadence xP
Operation Paperclip is calling from inside the house.
But he already had all the money the moment he was born
He had peanuts compared to what he has now
He had enough at birth to fail upwards comfortably. Doesn’t matter that he had less at birth.
If only he didn’t already have enough to last him several thousand lifetimes… 🙄🤦♀️
Stop using his shitty services and supporting him. This is not a hard thing to grasp.
I mean, if Lemmy has trouble figuring that out, what hope is there for the normies?
Good luck with that. People always say they’re going to leave twitter/X. But they come back. Like they’re addicted to it.
I don’t know what purpose “Like” serves in the last sentence. They’re clearly addicted to it. And not some watered down version of addiction. Some are just as addicted to that form of social media as drug addicts are to opiates or amphetamines. It’s become a chemical addiction but their withdrawal symptoms are only mentally observable.
Leave X and let it die, like you should have done when the butt-musk bought the site a year ago. Durr.
I can’t believe people still use that site in light of everything we know about Musk. It should have been a ghost town months ago.
I still can’t believe people even used it before Musk bought it. Literally any other forum is more effective for engaging with others and being able to follow a discussion.
Why does the worker class, the larger of the two classes, not simply eat the ruling class?

I wouldn’t feed these parasites to dogs - never mind the working class.
Perhaps they are saving it for sweeps!

Because we’re too busy working and the tools we would use to organize are being bought and tanked by the ruling class.

Ignore him. The more people forget about him, the more worthless he becomes, in any sense of the word.
Don’t type his name. Don’t seek him out. Don’t write fucking articles about him. Delete him.
If history has taught us anything, it’s to NOT ignore the raging antisemite with a curiously large (and growing) support base…
so Musk is Hitler, reborn? I’d read that isekai
So you’re saying the premier American car manufacturer/rocket builder is an anti-Semite?
I’m shocked!
tesla is not the premier car manufacturer. Their cars are dogshit with terrible QC… they just got the current gen tech out before the others (by cutting corners).
as for space ex, their success is largely in spite of his meddling. he has no freaking clue what he’s doing with an aerospace company.
Yeah, I guess premier only in terms of inflated stock value. I was considering weighing my words more wisely but figured I couldn’t be bothered haha
Their cars are dogshit with terrible QC…
You might not like Tesla, but this comment is a bit against reality. Their cars are consistently rated as 8/10 or 9/10. You don’t get there by terrible QC. Subjectively, the way they designed the interiors is brilliant, compared to other makers who just tried to make more of the same they were doing last year only with an electric motor.

Rated…by…whom?
Have you not seen the long list of recalls, making Tesla the most recalled car brand in history? Sure a fair chunk of those are OTA sofware updates…but still there’s a reason they got out first- cutting corners. most of those software updates are fixes for things that should have been found in testing.
also a quick google search will turn up a plethora of hits on quality control that just don’t ordinarily happen at other carmakers. The kinds of things that would never hit the sales lot.
I think you’re living in your own reality, a bit there.
Rated…by…whom?
By car reviewers? People who review cars.

Don’t we all, though.
By car reviewers? People who review cars.
That’s a nice non-answer. So, going out on a limb here…. Tesla bros, Muskie FanBois, and paid reviewers.
In short, the kinds of people who would never give an honest review anyhow. Oh and a quick search shows some possibly not-as-biased reviews at only 34% with a five star (9/ and 10/10) and 26% 4 star, (7/ and 8/10.)
There were 20% 1 star reviews, though. Generally I don’t trust reviews online.
What I do trust is a handful of 8+hour road trips I took driving them (company is perfectly happy letting me rent EV for in-region business trips;) 4 trips in a Tesla, and 2 in a Hyundai, 1 in a Nissan and the kia, and I have to say, even the freaking kia was better than the Tesla, and with comparable range.
Man, you guys let Musk live in your heads rent-free, don’t you? It’s just a car. You’re not a worse person because you’re not able to afford one or if you don’t like them, or if you deny reality. Ok, that last thing makes you a bit worse, but I forgive you.
Rated by whom? The schmucks that drive them? Bought and paid for auto reviewers? Their opinion isn’t worth dick to me. Have you seen how poorly the panels match up on these things? They look like bad highschool metal shop projects on the outside and prototypes on the inside.
Nevermind the pure smug coming out of the exhaust on these cars.
Yeah, I’m super sure that the thousands of tonnes of raw earth that has to be processed by enormous mining equipment, and then refined through absolutely filthy chemical processes to extract the lithium, cobalt and magnesium required for just a handful of battery cells represents a net good for the planet. Just peachy.
All good though, because all of the raw materials are then only shipped to the other side of the world on ships powered by literal sludge to be manufactured into by batteries by China with zero environmental regulation and all waste products flowing straight into the ocean, before shipping the manufactured cells back across the world on more sludge powered ships.
Eventually, these lean, green, zero emission machines end up zipping around pumping out smug before it goes home to get charged by a power grid that is still 60% fossil fuel based. So, instead of the combustion of fossil fuels occurring under your bonnet, it occurs at the coal fired power plant down the road allowing you to recharge your battery with all the inefficiencies that entails and convince yourself you are somehow saving the planet.
University of Liege researcher Damien Ernst said in 2019 that the typical EV would have to travel nearly 700,000 km before it emitted less CO2 than a comparable gasoline vehicle.
After he accepted a bunch of dirty cash from the auto industry, he later revised his figures down to about 15,000km. That’s a fairly major revision and if it smells like bribery that’s because it was.
If you genuinely want to reduce carbon emissions, kill yourself. It’s the most effective way to save the planet.

That sounds like a great idea. You go first, I’ll follow.

He has a last name though.
Elon Musk is an antisemite. What can anyone do about it?
Make him take off his pants and sit on a lighted Menorah.
It is almost Hanukkah season…
Don’t even have to wait, candles are lit on Fridays. You don’t need 9 candles for this.
revolver
What can anyone do about it?
Stop buying from companies he owns.
Stop using services he owns.
Just create an account on Mastodon and slowly move over.
I mean… legally? No, not really.
Extra-legally? He has a security team. They could easily arrange an “accident”.
Now, sure, extra-judicial executions are generally bad, but I’m willing to make exceptions for billionaires and nazis. And wouldn’t you know, this guy is both.
Someone would have to pay them better than Musk does. I’m guessing he doesn’t skimp on security guard paychecks.
Elect him as the president?
Really loving that 14rh amendment right now.
Everyone in this argument are fucking morons. How about ya’ll stop killing each other and figure out how to stop climate change
Only Elon can stop Elon from being a fascist.
That’s not true.
Sure it is. Are other people able to control your thoughts?
My point is that he isn’t invulnerable. The seemingly mighty are brought low every day.
Okay, I agree with that. That can happen while he remains a fascist, though.
