I personally would like to wish Elon lot’s of luck on a long walk off a short pier. Similarly, the sooner he arrives on Mars, the better. A vast arid, inhospitable and frigid wasteland is better than he deserves.
Now watch as the Musk fanboys scream “he’s not going on the trip to the moon, he’s building a Mars colony!” as if that was a more sensible endeavor.
… and don’t let the door hit ya where the dog shoulda bit ya!
Channeling his early memories of watching The Honeymooners.
Thanks
Fans wouldn’t mind being on the Mars trip… until their teeth start falling out and they fail to enter the spacecraft ‘safe room’ when there’s a solar flare.
Forks/NewsExLax/AON will skew this as Biden being aged/confused, and not sarcastic.
Maybe he can catch up with the car he launched!
And if he doesn’t then we’re still rid of him. I like your plan!
…and they get cancer halfway there from the radiation and their bones turns to dust from six months of zero G.
There are a dozen deal-breaking technological problems with going to Mars that we do not have solutions to. People (especially Muskbois) act like going to Mars is only a problem of money and political will because we spent a few days on the moon that one time. Going to Mars is a 1000x more difficult and we literally do not have the technology to do it right now without killing all the crew.
Or if it just runs him over while on “autopilot”.
He is going to waste 1 billion when he pulls out of the Twitter deal but of course he needs to fire 10,000 people.
He already wasted $1B when he pulled out of the Twitter deal. Past tense. They dinged him on liquidated damages for breaking the sales agreement.
Musk and his supporters did not get the remark.
How hilarious would it be if Elon’s first mission to Mars ended abruptly because the spaceship was involved in a collision with a self-driving Tesla on the way there?
