He had 20 hours to think of a response, and that’s what he came up with? How the hell did anyone think he was smart?

You ever wonder why the other billionaires with space companies have actually flown on their companies vehicles and he hasn’t?

I bet he doesn’t let his car autopilot him either.

To be fair, SpaceX isn’t selling amusement park ride tickets on suborbital flights to the highest bidders like those competitors are. They aren’t really comparable.
Show threadDracesNov 5
They put a Tesla in orbit. If he trusted them and wasn’t spineless he absolutely would
Show threadbearNov 5
He might believe he’s burned too many bridges with apaceX engineers and launch techs. If he was on board, one of them might take an opportunity…
Show threadhalcyoncmdrNov 5

That was marketing. The alternative would have been a generic mass simulator, basically just a large block of metal.

The car gets headlines and people remember it. You obviously did.

Show threadDracesNov 5
That’s my point? Him going to himself would be marketing
Show threadYeatherNov 5
That particular mission did not have a return module. The car is still up there somewhere. To anticipate the next comment yes I know it would still be an improvement.
Show threadFrezikNov 5

The man-rated Falcon 9 is good enough for NASA. NASA does not have low standards on these sorts of things.

Honestly, SpaceX is the only one of those that is doing actual work. Most of the others aren’t much more than tourist rides at this point.

Do you have a better suggestion?

“Heh heh, gottem!”

Show threadAlmaccaNov 5
He thinks he’s a real wit, but I think he’s only half right.
Show threadzarkanianNov 5

Yeah, I do have a better suggestion. Vote Mamdani. Done.

I’m not expecting clear thinking from the guy who sieg heiled on national TV, though.

Show threadhperrinNov 5
Stupid people think he’s smart because he uses a lot of jargon.
Show threadhayvanNov 5
He’s rich so he must be very smart and a moral ideal.

He had just woken up from his k-hole nap okay? Sheesh

Elon has lost it. So embarrassing.

Never had it

he at no point had it. he’s been a weird piece of shit no one should have listened to since he hit the scene in the 90s. we just all wake up to the truth at different moments

How long till he takes the eternal soak in the hot tub?

With enough ketamine anything is possible

Did he ever have it, though?

You need shame and self-awareness to feel embarrassment.

Elon has neither.

I have a dangerous feeling: hope

Is it possible that 'Murica is capable of maturing a tiny bit and making a choice that will actually benefit society rather than a few rich white men?

Show threadanomnomNov 4

Me too, but it’s only hope for NYC, which doesn’t really help much of the rest of the country as much. Maybe he’ll keep Trump busy, but he’ll probably just use it as another distraction while hurting everyone.

It is hopeful if it signals a trend though, we need it to.

Show threadFistingEnthusiastNov 4

That’s why hope is so dangerous

The civilised world sneers at 'Murica for good reason

We keep seeing them deliberately choose cruelty

Show threadFistingEnthusiastNov 4
Yeah, I feel you
Show threadzarkanianNov 5
Both parties are going to fight him on everything, so he’s going to have to rally the people behind him. Fortunately, he seems to be pretty good at that.
Show threadtimbuck2themoonNov 5

The problem with America is people wake up then immediately go back to sleep.

Maybe voting EVERY DAMN TIME will catch on at some point.

Show threadFistingEnthusiastNov 5
Compulsory voting is one of the best things about my country
Show threadtimbuck2themoonNov 5
And studies show that not only does it increase participation obviously but that people actually do take the time to research and vote for candidates with views that align with theirs.
Show threadFistingEnthusiastNov 5

Yep

The only people opposed to it are those who stand to gain without it and the stupid

Show threaddejected_warp_coreNov 5
It’s entirely possible. If we consider that much of what the GOP has accomplished has been through propaganda, it suggests that things wouldn’t have gone their way if they played this game honestly. Personally, I see the last 30 years of federal politics as a wild pendulum swing, between battling ideologies in multiple directions, only becoming more energetic. I’m hopeful that this will eventually break down the brittle, false, manufactured narratives out there because it will take ever more effort to keep all that going. I have hope too.
Show threadIlovethebombNov 5
I’d love to see him win by a massive amount, like 2/3 majority. That way nobody can argue he doesn’t have any support.
Show threadAtariDumpNov 5
50.4% to 41.6%; I’d say that’s pretty good.
Show threadpelespiritNov 4
Hey, we need an archived link of this tweet, especially the Elon portions. Archive.is is fine. If anyone wants to help out and give it, that’s great and you all have half an hour.

I hope this is acceptable.

Does this work?
Show threadAtariDumpNov 5
I tried the same thing; it only archives the one tweet and not the thread.
Show threadpelespiritNov 5
This, with the other archive link, is better. It looks like he deleted his “vote Cuomo” tweet.

Oh, sorry. Forgot about that

No worries, I don’t like removing them. People usually try and help if they can.

I Remember when I knew who Elon Musk was. The guy had a joint in its hand and was sharing “dank memes” on twitter while he was setting anime as pfp. Never heard of the guy before that.
Show threadoni ᓚᘏᗢNov 4
Haha, I remember when I was in a NASA Space App Challenge on a weekend some years ago. I was tired af, I was sleeping along another friend, we went to sleep late the night before, when suddenly, at fuckin 7am somebody wake up us, saying that someone important have arrived to the event. Was a guy who “worked along” Elon Musk. The man was like the 10th guy in the red thread that connected him and Elon. The guy got us listen to him like one hour and half, time that we see like lost time, we were tired, we had pizza for dinner the night before and then some random guy came to say that had worked along Elon Musk and got us one hour and half showing off that lame utter fact
Show threadlumpenproletariatNov 4

Wow because by the time he was doing podcasts and trying to fix his image he was already a known fuckwit.

The weed thing was PR after the pedo-sub guy in the Thai cave thing.

Show threadceenoteNov 4

I disagree - endorsing 3 sexual predators is actually quite a lot.

Also weird he didn’t deny it.

Show threadzarkanianNov 5
Weird that he can’t think of something better.
Show threadFedizenNov 5
What is he going to do? Not endorse the extremely relatable sex pest?
Show threadMongosteinNov 4
It almost sounds like he’d be in favour of proportional representation
Show threadzarkanianNov 5
New York has ranked choice voting, so he should be encouraging people to vote Cuomo for their #2 lmao

I find it incredibly funny that everyone seems to forget or intentionally ignore that Sliwa is also running

he’s that much of a goofball that the Republicans won’t support him even though he’s the literal official Republican candidate lmfao

Show threadjjjalljsNov 5
Maybe if Sliwa did some crimes, preferably with sexual assault or high finance, republicans would respect him more.
Show threadAnUnusualRelicNov 5
It shows that he really isn’t fully engaged with the party’s platform.
