Space X

[CO. Hoosier]

Dominates the world in rocket science. It cut the cost of putting a kilo in orbit from $25K to $1.5K. Perfected reusable boosters. Built state of the art manned craft. Built the largest rocket ever and successfully caught the gigantic first stage like it is a toy. And Tesla dominates the EV Market. And Starlink brings the internet to anywhere for a modest cost, and is on the verge of overcoming brain and spinal disorders and injuries.

Musk is the guy. He donates this talent and ability .to all of us. Half of us reject that, ridicule him, and wish him to be destroyed because . . . . .Trump? Half the country is simply nuts.

Space X didn’t even exist until 23 years ago.

“because… Trump …he uses a chainsaw metaphor for laying off American workers wholesale and wears a $400,000,000,000 flippant grin as he does it.”

Be less disingenuous with your disgust for your fellow Americans, regain some of the credibility you once had here. 😉

The left is batshit crazy. Bunch of lunatics keying each others cars.

But they do have the common courtesy of giving each other a reach around while in the shower. They have that going for them.

How about you be quit being disingenuous. The chainsaw was a metaphor for cutting government waste. Nothing more, nothing less.

He appears to do just fine with the ladies.

What makes you say that?

They love his…… heart. And. Wit.

I Fing hate PayPal.

Seems as good a place as any to drop this.

I guarantee with that kind of money, I'd have at least as many kids.

If McM had that kind of money, he'd already be able to populate a medium-sized Caribbean island.

Musk is nothing special.

Gates like young girls and Bezos has just recently figured out what kind of advantage he has?

Genghis Kahn levels

Genghis Kahn levels

I read one half of one percent of all men worldwide have his genetics passed down to them. That's nucking futs.

My disgust is very genuine

this board is not a good measure for credibility.

He lived 800 years ago. That makes it slightly less impressive. Even random dipshit drover from 1200 AD has a lot of descendants today.

 

[CO. Hoosier]

Where would the US space program be absent Space X?

Where would the domestic EV market be without Tesla?

Where would rural internet be without Starlink?

On a serious note, he's an article explaining the lack of mystery on the issue.

So you’re related to Charlemagne? You and every other living European…

The advent of cheap genetic sequencing has given birth to a burgeoning ancestry industry. But before you pay to spit in a tube, let me give you a few facts for free

I respectfully disagree

Genghis Khan's genetic legacy has competition - Nature

The Mongolian leader left a strong footprint in the Y chromosomes of modern descendants — but he was not the only one.

There used to be a famous bar here called schneidhorsts. The bartender was this Asian looking guy. I was sitting at the bar waiting on my gf and I said to him. You look like someone famous and it’s driving me crazy who.

He goes Pol Pot ?

In a crowded bar I screamed out in laughter. I go you look just like pol pot. 🤣🤣

He goes I know. Most people don’t know fortunately

Yep, directly related to the article I just posted. Lots of sons having lots of sons and it's usually related to conquering lands and people.

I'll grant that the famous people probably had a better chance to pass down their genes. It was probably sloppy of me to offer a random drover as a counterpoint.

But you go back far enough, and we all have the same ancestors. Something like 99% of us can trace our genealogy back to the same small handful of people merely 2000 years ago or so.

@hookyIU1990 @BradStevens I will tell you that was one of those moments where dating a hot dumb chick 20 years younger isn’t good. When I find something really funny I can’t stop laughing. And I literally erupted in laughter when he said that and I couldn’t stop. My ex had no idea who pol pot was nor any idea why it was funny he said that and I couldn’t stop laughing. I gave him my card and fixed a dwi for him about a year later for free

So musk and Trump are cousins? That explains everything.

 

[iuwclurker]

How about you be quit being disingenuous. The chainsaw was a metaphor for cutting government waste. Nothing more, nothing less.

Both waste and employees are getting chainsawed. Humans are being affected. Lives are being changed. Musk screwed the PR pooch. That’s plainly obvious.

I actually agree with COH on Musk’s scientific value to society. That’s precisely why I encouraged COH to knock off the bullshit. He wouldn’t undermine his point.

It's entirely possible for someone to be both a genius and an asshole. I actually find it funny that so many people have difficulty with this concept.

This hero worship of Trump/Musk/etc. is especially strange for that very reason.

That we know. Your disingenuous argumentation is in question.

this board is not a good measure for credibility.

Now you’re disrespecting yourself. You post here.

Yes.

Trump and Musk are fundamentally different. Musk is an awkward communicator and doesn’t foresee the PR effects of his naive acts, but he actually seems to have good intentions.

Trump takes pride in being mean.

Toughen up buttercup. The metaphor wasn’t what you thought. For the non victim mentality folks anyway.

Must suck to be a perpetual victim, no?

You’re still missing the point. It doesn’t matter how I view it. What matters is the public perception of Musk’s ill-considered PR stunt.

So slightly less than 50% object and are pussy’s. So what.

Non sequitur.

 

[TyWebbIU]

Non sequitur.

Beg to differ. It doesn’t matter what those people think. Clearly they aren’t strong thinkers. Who cares. No big deal.

The employees whose jobs are considered wasteful by DOGE and the government that are complaining/protesting/etc, are selfish. Shouldn’t they want what’s best for the country rather than just themselves?

Go find a job where they contribute and are respected for their contribution.

They have an opportunity. Not some death sentence.

Non sequitur to COH’s post to which I was responding. 😉

In my late thirties I briefly dated this hot chick ten years younger. We were talking about IU basketball championships and I soon realized I was talking about the 76 and 81 teams and she was talking about the 87 team. There were some other disconnects, but that one sticks with me.
