    Trump: “Jump!”
    Musk: “How high?”
    Trump: “Get as high as you can!”
    Musk: “I am already as high as I can, I wanted to know how high I should jump!”

      Sadly, I think it’s Musk doing the commanding. Knowing as much as I do about Musk’s philosophy, that’s not a good thing. If Trump wasn’t fascist enough, Musk certainly isn’t going to help.

        I have no doubt they are empowering each other in a sick feedback loop.

        I had a friend that was always into guns but was normal about it. Then he started hanging out with this other gun guy. Within a couple years they were both psycho gun nuts. He started sleeping with a loaded the gun under his pillow. Even though he had a five year old son. To quote “He isn’t strong enough to cycle the slide so it’s ok …”

        I noped out of the friendship after that.

    • They seem to honestly believe that Musk will get human beings to Mars before the end of Trump’s next term (under the assumption he has one).

      I’m sorry. This won’t happen in Trump’s next term (assuming he has one). This won’t happen in my lifetime. This won’t happen in the lifetime of anybody currently over the age of 20.

      MAYBE someone who was born today will see human beings land on Mars.

      MAYBE the grandchildren of someone born today will see human beings build something semi-permanent on Mars.

        I mean the technical hurdles aren’t insurmountable. But we lack the political will power to put resources needed into it.

        It would take 60s moon landing level of commitment for 10-15 years to do any sooner.

          It’s technically feasible in the bare minimum “Got there” sense. Bringing someone and getting them back. But we learned a lot by the moon exploration, and that is that we aren’t ready for colonization. Living there, for a long time, let alone indefinitely, that is where the million details are still unresolved. I think that’s the problem that is worth tackling. We already know we can live in space for a long time as long as there are continuous shipments of resources from Earth. We could just flood the logistics problem with money and get to mars next year if we wanted to. Other than the psychologically horrifyingly long distances involved, of course.

        • The technical hurdles are insurmountable with any technology we have today. It is impossible, period, for humans to be landed on Mars in four years. It is impossible, period, for humans to have a semi-permanent settlement on Mars in the lifetime of anybody alive.

          Going to the Moon, our closest neighbour, is child’s play in comparison to going to Mars. And look how well getting humans back to the moon is going…

            I mean if you count bodies as humans you can just do a Mars rover style drop.

            But I was of course not talking seriously because obviously there is 0 chance humans get to mars in the next decade.

          They might not even make it there. The radiation doses that they would take on the journey are massive and likely to do heavy damage like cataracts and organ failure, especially if solar storms were to hit while they were outside the magnetosphere of either planet.

    Elon: “I have a dad now!”

    Trump: “Somebody call security on this freak!”

    Edit: Maybe Trump is downplaying his weirdness by using Elon as a sideshow freak.

              He moved to Texas and is now wearing a big fucking belt buckle. He is not a serious person. If I put everything I know about the guy out of my mind, I can almost feel bad for him. Richest dude in the world and he’s desperate for his neighbors approval and to fit in. Then I remember he’s a weird piece of shit and find joy in the fact that his children hate him.
