There are two main types of “conservative” now. The old school big truck lovin’, god-fearin’, beer guzzling, anti-environmentalist yeehaw types, and the “newer” 4chan-posting, edgelording, neckbearded, gamergatin’, crypto-lovin’ internet troll types that have arose in the last twenty-five years with the proliferation of the Internet. Elon is trying to fit in with the latter.
Another DEI hire.
They will not be satisfied until the only people allowed to earn a living or have any power are straight white cis men. It’s becoming blatantly obvious they don’t give a shit about “merit”. Woman/minority/LGBT = DEI no matter how they got there. They could have every qualification in the world and it wouldn’t be enough to avoid the DEI label.
I didn’t. You’re asking the wrong crowd.
Idiot in chief: fuck Europe.
Local military-industrial complex: no, wait.
Is there nothing he does that isn’t him being an absolute poser? Saying he founded Tesla, being an aerospace “engineer”, pretending to be an accomplished “gamer”, him being a Linux user, etc etc.
Edit: oh yeah, the Nazi thing, I guess that’s real.

Ah, okay then, carry on ya cute little gremlin.
Thank you, you as well!
That’s not very >uwu< of you, Texas.
I wasn’t going to before. But now I’m just going to wear my ears in public doing normal errands and shit like going to the bank, just to spite assholes like this.
You sound like my classic rock obsessed father. He simply couldn’t understand why I liked electronic music back in the 90s and never “got” it. Called it “fake-ass computer shit”. 30 years later I’m still cranking the volume up when I hear Trance/DnB/Dubstep. His opinion mattered very, very little to me.
Believe it or not, there are people who like different things than you. And that’s okay.
One of 'ems got a worm in there, does that count?
They can’t be fucking serious.
It’s not sustainable. The reason the Apollo missions never were further developed after the landings was because the entire program was designed to get to the moon as fast as possible, where money was no object, in order to beat the Soviets. We don’t need anything like that now. If we are to build bases and establish a permanent presence, we can’t be using a vehicle that takes billions per launch.
Something like the Space Shuttle program. Not cheap, but also not with an Apollo price tag, where it can fly for decades without some politician seeing a giant wad of cash going out and getting ideas about cutting it. That’s what Starship is supposed to be. A Space Shuttle 2.0. It’s just unfortunate that the world’s richest Nazi has control of it.
I’ll tell you the moon is made of cheese for $1.
$24 billion Space Launch System (SLS), citing high costs and outdated technology.
Fuck Musk, but they ain’t wrong. It’s just rearranged space shuttle parts designed to funnel pork barrel money to the same old contractors (except now we even gotta throw away all the RS-25 engines instead of reusing them). There’s nothing fundamentally new there that they didn’t already do in the 60s. It kind of is a step backward in terms of aerospace tech.
Yeah, I had a previous job that contracted with the Army, and thus we had access to NIPRnet. The policy was that once a device such as a laptop was set up to access it, it was never to be plugged in to a civilian network ever again, and completely wiped and destroyed at the end of its life.
These numbnuts just waltz in with their own box, plug it in, and everything’s fine and dandy? WTF.
Good old federal funding, the arm that never stops getting twisted.
Next target: Internet Archive. Datahoarders, prepare your SANs and make room for mirrors.
Okay, maybe not outright enthusiasm. More like relief in the hope we weren’t getting Trump.
“American Spring” hahaha that’s a good one. We’re going to continue to collectively sit on our asses riding the wave of fascism right into hell while eating Wendy’s and playing Xbox.
