Elon Musk's lies, propaganda, etc. - Page 52

(it's possible I am confusing people with hammers and it was Falling who said that, but the point stands that Musk could offer you enough money that you would lube up, and let him do his thing)

I am pretty sure i don't have a hammer. I assume i would have been told.

Edit: Also, Musk was apparently doing a Nazi salute at the inauguration.

Nice oath of the horatii /s

The fact there are so many people fans of this guy says all about the sad state of humanity, do his fans really believe they belong to his eugenistic "vision" ?
Breeding children left and right to preserve his genetic pool, going to mars as a small "elite" group while the rest of humanity is left behind are all the component of a transhumanist ideology which has the same matrice as the race theory of the 19th. (Lapouge, gobineau...)

If only he was just a loser at video game.

It is really enraging how many are unable to call a nazi salute out for being a nazi salute.

Having trouble figuring out what you're looking for. According to you SpaceX has a history of things blowing up. And Musk doesn't take responsibility for it.

However, this apparently doesn't include the things that blow up, but later don't blow up (Falcon 1) - because overall that counts as a success for you. Can you clarify what technology specifically you're talking about, that has blown up, and NOT un-blown up, that you also feel Musk needs to apologize for due to his personal responsibility?

Starship test flights labeled "TEST FLIGHT" are the ones that are supposed/allow to fail. "TEST FLIGHT" is roughly code for "can blow up." He, or SpaceX, or both, typically will explicitly clarify at some point for the public what their criteria for test "success" is and what they expect and hope for from the flight, ex. Starship flight test 1. For that specific test, "SpaceX said it would measure the mission's success "by how much [SpaceX] can learn" and that completion of mission milestones were "not required for a successful test". Before the April 20 launch, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk estimated a 50% chance for a successful test, saying that if the rocket gets "far enough away from the launchpad before something goes wrong, then I think I would consider that to be a success. Just don't blow up the launchpad."

Falcon 1 flights, the goal of EACH OF WHICH was to carry a customer's satellite to orbit on a full and complete successful launch of a 2 stage vehicle, were not supposed to blow up. In those cases, any blowing up at all represents critical failure, and is not preferable.

The question is if he just sieg heils or also believes in the idea that everything at the extremes of a normal distribution within the idea of an old fashioned western society should be exterminated.

I might get flak for this but again this could just be posturing , a publicity stunt or cocaine.
Still a pretty stupid thing to do.

Or maybe it‘s because he hasn‘t been in bed with Weidel yet.
Old fashioned German courtship behaviour.

To me, the whole thing screams 4chan.
Its their MO down to a tee.
Do something openly Nazi that everyone can see is blatantly Nazi and then deny that it has anything to do with Nazism, and use it as evidence that the left is hysterical.
It reminds me of the Bored Ape stuff.

It screaming 4chan/Trolling doesn't make it any better, it's just normalising Nazism.

Yeah having children is assuredly not a 19th century racialist conspiracy, we should just respect his right to choose parenthood. Parenthood is the reason we all exist and basically the only unambiguous part of our species' existence and purpose. I had to google these people and there seemed to be nothing on the surface of them wanting to make some kind of oasis for certain elites and keep everyone else out, nor have I ever heard that from Musk, his plan used to be to get the price down to $500k so the idea is any middle class person could do an interplanetary relocation for around their entire net worth. The reason you would send "those" kind of people to Mars is just that they can afford it because Mars is expensive per se, due to being a far away different planet you need a spaceship to get to. I don't see transhumanist racialism there, just logistics. When people first colonized the New World, some of them did it as an investment/adventure. Some did it on debt. As a society we've moved on from that, so I just don't know that indentured servitude as a way to pay for your ticket to settle Mars would ever gain wider acceptance. That just leaves people from a certain level who can afford it, or people for whom it's their job to go. People of no particular color. He also advocates for direct democracy on Mars which I don't know that "elites" are usually into.
