😂😂😂 right...

This part is particularly amusing given that the SpaceX defenders love to go on about how competent Shotwell is when it turns out she's, at best, delusional just like Musk.

Eric's coping is disappointing too, because he would rather do the mental gymnastics to make Elon a great guy instead of admitting he's a con-artist Carnie who lied his way into suits. Same level of ride safety, drug use, and unsafe to leave kids around.

You just didn't recognize him in character as a potato.

Trump's con makes more sense than Elon's. Trump has some weird charisma that makes him likable for some reason. Elon is borderline repulsive in almost every way. How did people ever buy his bs let alone still in 2026?

My gawd the stupidity is killing all of us!!!

Musk makes it himself wearing overalls in a shed out back!

Musk has failed to produce anything new in years with the exception of the Cybertruck which is a disaster. He keeps having a new fantasy which will be the next great thing but they never happen. His latest is robots.

As much as I dislike Musk I don't agree with this point. There will always be problems that need to be fixed on Earth. Thankfully we can do multiple things at the same time and settling space is one of those things. Humanity will not survive long term without it.

you know it must be real dedication! (this is what I mean about Berger's entertainment value)

Life on Mars was possible, as shown by BBC One in 2006.

LOL/NOT-LOL

When you think about all the wealth Musk has misallocated - away from established valid institutions towards himself and his various ideas that don't pan out - Musk's net contribution starts to look like a terrible setback to Western esp US civilization.

the Moon is protected by International Treaty, like Antarctica (no one can go up there and 'claim' it-- well, at least in theory). Mars, as far as I know, does not. Ii've often wondered if THAT is why Musk wanted to go straight to Mars. He wants to go there and declare himself Emperor or something

it sure should

He was always a con man. He never designed or built anything - except the design of the cyber truck. His products were always hyped for more than they were - idiots believed because he had money - just as idiots believed Trump.

"He just wants to help humanity! ... Which is why a bunch of average people had to crowdfund millions of £ for research into curing pancreatic cancer and Musk donated literally nothing to it."
