It's like #ElonMusk wants there to be a #KesslerEffect! Hard to launch a space program if we can't leave Earth!

#SpaceX seeks go-ahead from the #FCC to put up to a million #DataCenter satellites in orbit

by Alan Boyle on Jan 31, 2026

Excerpt: "SpaceX founder Elon Musk wasn’t kidding about his plans to go big with orbital data centers: The company is asking the Federal Communications Commission to approve a plan to put up to a million satellites in orbit to process data for artificial intelligence applications.

" 'Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step towards becoming a #Kardashev II-level civilization — one that can harness the sun’s full power — while supporting #AI-driven applications for billions of people today and ensuring humanity’s #multiplanetary future amongst the stars,' SpaceX said in an application filed with the FCC on Friday."

I'm glad people are pointing out Elon's lofty aspirations of taking Humanity "Multiplanetary" is just utter bullshit he uses to cover for his crimes.

He's not worried about Human civilisation, he's a selfish little boy who wants attention and praise.

He's so closed minded that his talk of Space is dull and unimaginative, he's as inspiring as a douchebro passed out in his own vomit at a frat house.

This review on Elon Musk book is better than the book 🤣 — ‘Arrested Development’ — worth a read 👍

“To go from #Einstein to #Musk in only five volumes is surely an indication that humanity isn’t sending #Isaacson its best.”

“Elon didn’t just exaggerate, he made it up,” a former colleague tells us”

“The messianic part of the #Muskiverse is his attempt to put 140m miles between himself and his father as he tries to turn humanity into a “#multiplanetary civilization”

Elon Musk is serious about enabling humanity to become multiplanetary. This 2014 interview (link below) is the best resource to capture his thoughts on this subject. He still reaffirms this goal today.

I'm not against colonization of Mars or building a starship that could carry and sustain a population. It actually sounds cool. But it seems to beg the question of what we are here for in the first place. Without agreement on that, you can end up in a dangerous place.

People who think like Musk seem to think the purpose of existing is just to exist. We're conscious at a high level, so we have to be sure that we as a species go on being conscious. And if that's our primary purpose, then you can do all kinds of terrible things in service of that goal: "For the greater good ..."

For Musk in particular, I think it allows himself to excuse his own behavior, such as fathering nearly a dozen children by multiple women. It's sort of a weird rationalization where he can think of himself as a virtuous person because he's pro-human.

It all reminds me of Professor Weston, the antagonist in the first two parts of C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy. He was willing to sacrifice others (and admittedly, himself) in service of the goal of bringing humanity to other planets. Even in 1938 (publication of Out of the Silent Planet), Lewis anticipated that people like Musk would come along. He tried to expose the hubris of that ideology and type of evil that it would lead to.

Has anyone else been struck by the parallels between the character Weston and our real-life Musk?
