Cory DoctorowElon Musk wants a Texas compound filled with women he will breed with to preserve his superior genes.
Imagine watching Fury Road and thinking Immortan Joe is the hero.

Lazarou Monkey Terror πππ@Crispius @pluralistic "Give dees peeple air!"
MBybee@Lazarou @Crispius @pluralistic Musk would 100% restrict air supply to enforce his whims.
Or even just to make a buck.
The kind of guy who'd increase the nitrogen content while reducing the oxygen content to save a few cents.
@mbybee @Crispius @pluralistic he could be bored one day and just switch off 'Sector Four' or something, not that anybody useful would follow him to Mars.....
Allpoints@Lazarou @mbybee @Crispius @pluralistic now you have me thinking about The hitchhiker's guide and the ship's captain who enjoyed taking baths
@allpoints @mbybee @Crispius @pluralistic lol, I see so many 'B Ark' people in charge these days....
Lady ErrantThe joke there is, though, that the people that put them on the B Ark died from a disease transmitted by unwashed telephones. Its a remider that you cant simply whisk your problems away, down that path too lies danger.

Jared Jennings@errant Ah, the quaint science fiction ideas of the past, where a full third of everyone, faced with existential threat to their planet, united to act toward a common goal
(now which third was i talking about, mahahaha)

TheNovemberFella βπ³οΈβπ πΊπ¦βΈοΈπ°οΈπ@mbybee @Lazarou @Crispius @pluralistic Reminds me of that scene in The Expanse where a belter is leading a protest demanding air and water rights.
@errant @mbybee @Crispius @pluralistic before we start working in Space we need to get Workers Rights sorted so that sort of thing doesn't happen.
Because the way things are now, it absolutely would happen. 'Late Stage Capitalism' innit?
Jon Gilbert@mbybee @Lazarou @Crispius @pluralistic I think you're giving him too much credit, he's more of the President Scrodge from Spaceballs -type of villain: Perriair for me, none for you, I have this great idea to fix everyone's problem oh wait that didn't work? well I'm bored, on to the next big thing, ta ta.
FandaSinYou've reminded me of this scene! (and yes, Trumps is that stupid)

Angus McIntyre@mbybee @Lazarou @Crispius @pluralistic The klept have good reasons for cutting off your air:
a. If you don't work, you don't get air.
b. If you wanted air, you shouldn't have spent all your money on water.
c. Free air would hurt the shareholders & the economy would collapse.
d. Can't spare any air; sending thoughts & prayers.
e. Oxygen is highly corrosive; people are healthier without air.
f. It would be a betrayal of everyone who didn't have air to give you air now.
g. We need the air for AI.
