How the fuck do people keep giving him more money??

Most of his ventures are dumpster fires, and SpaceX only runs well because he doesn’t touch it.

Because he’s in charge of the government now. Oligarch power. We are rightly fucked. They will all make even more money and dump any losses on us.

He does touch it. Remember the obliterated launch pad that also critically damaged his rocket about a year ago? That was him.

Also, SpaceX runs “well” because it got billions of government dollars to get humans to Mars and so far they’ve been able to blow up a banana over the Indian ocean. Literally. SpaceX has spent all that money and hasn’t even hit the first target on a long list of targets.

Think about this: SpaceX has spent more time and government money than NASA did for the Appollo project and what did both do? NASA got the first human to the moon. SpaceX shot a car in low earth orbit, obliterated a launch pad (amongst so much more) and fried a banana over the Indian ocean. Their big rocket managed to hit LEO in an uncontrolled spin until it burned up. Seriously, SpaceX is playing at step one and failing to reach step 2

They do cheer loudly when yet again a rocket blows up. Do you remember all the cheers at NASA when their tickets blew up all the time? Oh yeah, that’s right. They had a tiny fraction of the computer power of today and went for the “do it right the first time” and they did.

SpaceX sucks. It’s just another Musk toy that peoplem are giving a free pass because reasons.

Too, bad. He won the election he bought, and so now he’s (no joke) being proposed as speaker of the house (3rd in line to presidency) which is an unelected position.

Then if/when Trump dies and JD Vance gets killed/abdictates, you have Elon President.

A high school education ought to explain why this isn’t possible.

And yet the Supreme Court might explain why it is possible. You believe the truth matters. They don’t.
