We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink

[O.T.I.S.]

Tesla too


Use all those cars as robo taxis

They know from the start its a mistake, they don't care as long as the check clears.

The amount of waste I saw working as a Federal contractor was astounding. Everyone just looked the other way and you we're warned not to make a big stink about it. Because if you did try to expose the grift you would get fired.

My Government lead warn me once when I tried preventing wasteful spending. The whole system is designed to fleece the tax payer. You spent every dime of your budget whether its warranted or not. You left nothing behind in terms of savings on those contracts.

For someone like me who is an idiot. Can you explain?

I mentioned with the rocket tech they made: gone rockets to fly and land autonomously and can catch them out the sky.



Another program he has curently had many communication systems orbiting in space that require broadcast signals and communicate with one another. I think that’s Starlink.

There’s the portable satellite internet he has as well in order to get internet in remote locations as well.

A lot of this stuff can be weaponized and he’s shown he wants a rocket in space that can launch multiple satellites and act as a base for satellites to go back and forth from.

SpaceX alone has:
230 Engineers from M.I.T
210 Engineers from Stanford
150 Engineers from Cornell
120 Engineers from UIC
70 Engineers from Caltech
30 Engineers from Tsinghua
20 Engineers from Zhejiang

They seriously have some of the best in the world.

Those last two schools on the list were ranked the top two in the world when it comes to Innovation Index:

I argued for months that Kamala should do that if she won the presidency. Having a drug addict with heavy influence over US security and secrets is a bad idea. Especially someone who is easily influenced and has proven that he is either a Nazi or surrounded by them on a very intimate level.

The goal should have been to shytcan Tesla's subsidies, cancel SpaceX's govt contracts, and seize Starlink first. I could see seizing SpaceX being a problem but you can simply kill it by refusing to allow them to launch anything in the US lol. This is basically what Elon feared which is why he went so hard for Trump.

It's actually really disturbing how much information Elon Musk has access to. He can find out your social security, your IP address down to your browsing history. What makes it worse is that the conservative courts are enabling this. We are in a facist authoritarian oligarchy in a matter of months. Big brother is watching.

google, meta? not di same?

I told everyone before it’s actually crazy the sphere Elon has.

This guy made fun of Lockheed Martin and Boeing products and their Engineers. They can’t tell dude shyt though because he can point to all his space tech that is legit catching rockets out the sky and automated. At the end of the day those companies and other defense companies want dude’s tech (more accurately want his engineers’ tech).

The guy legit has some of the very best Engineers on the planet at his companies and that’s something people don’t want to admit but it’s true.

Then this guy owns Twitter so you know politicians got to kiss his ass or he’ll ban them on the platform and they’ll lose elections and their seats.

You don’t know what you are talking about. Must is a conman who lies about everything he does or makes. His rockets can’t even achieve 1960s NASA technology. He can’t even get his rockets past low earth orbit. Low Earth fukking Orbit.

Yet he promised everybody, that humans and cargo would be leaving for Mars in last year.

Like I’m legit confused and annoyed at how many people just drank the “Elon is a genius” crap.

Goddamn, I wish people would just do the most basic research on Elon.

Believe it or not, Steve Bannon was pushing this exact talking point on his podcast last week.

Musk got people on both sides wanting to defang him.

The craziest thing I ever saw was people---smart people--comparing Elon to great engineers and scientists of the past. He has invented, patented, and discovered almost nothing. This generation's Henry Ford, I could buy that. Ironically though, Henry Ford was anti-semitic as hell and also racist but at least he gave lots of Black folks employment opportunities at his plants in Detroit. Musty doesn't even reach that bar.

How you going to be more racist to Black folks than a known Jew hater and Hitler apologist from the early 20th century

 

[WTFisWallace?]

MAGA & Fox News turning into little Fidel’s after decades of demonizing him was humorous.



Wouldn’t mind one of the airliners getting legit nationalized too.

how about boeing first

i don't care about this boer's fakkity internet satellites
