I thought America was full of “good guys with guns”…
Twice.
Trump: Oops all embezzlement
I can shit talk Elon all I want now that I don’t work at SpaceX but as someone who worked on Starship that number is so far removed from reality lmao, I’m POSITIVE starship as a PROGRAM doesn’t even hit that number. Elon is a dickhead but starship is dirt cheap especially to SLS which is the true waste of money.
And the press sounds absolutely giddy when they report the exploding rocket. Like it’s the fourth of July and there were pretty lights in the sky.
I mean I’m hating on Elon for being a piece of shit as much as anyone does. But that wasn’t a 20 billion rocket, and I’m fairly sure it wasn’t paid for in tax dollars, it’s a private company. Again I’m not defending him, I just don’t think that this is accurate in how it’s described. I mean he’s skimming from the government most likely, and shutting down anyone investigating him, but last time I checked, spacex was paying for their own research & development, and rockets. Except for the ones the government contracts to fly for them.
Elon’s sooo good at downsizing he needs a new source of income. He’s downsized Twitter to a fraction of its purchase price and now he’s done the same thing to Tesla. SapceX is his new top-up source of income.
Reminder that privatizing the rockets for Nasa is why there are astronauts still stranded at the space station.
Source for the cost of the rocket?
I don’t think they built it with tax dollars though.
I hate that Elon is the face behind space x. I honestly think a space program is important for us as a species and it sucks that Elon might drag that down with him on his quest to be the most disliked man alive.
He should ride the next rocket. 3 for 3 please
It’s all Biden’s fault /s
What are ya’ll on about, the man is a genius, saved billions of dollars and just wanted a nice firework display to celebrate!
🫵😂
How many shuttles did NASA lose?
lol now we’re just making up numbers to push our narrative?
The entire starship program was 5-10b to develop.
This is just another example of Reddit eco chamber with you guys sniffing each others farts.
Yup, Musk should apply to be clown.
Annnnnnnything but taxing the rich…
FFS, we could fix our debt problem without gutting the country if we simply taxed the rich and closed the tax haven loopholes.
Doubt that will happen with the oligarchs having their hands up TURD’s asshole now.
F
And Musk is not the clown but the people worshipping him
Time to cut more federal workers to save more money. Thank goodness we have the financial wisdom of a dude that’s lost 150 billion in a few months, hopefully by the end of this term that’s reached 450 billion.
Someone should fire this guy.
It contained the redacted Epstein files. /s
Welcome to who’s line is it anyway! Everyone seems full of shit.
Worst fireworks show
Pletty sure that was a privately funded flight
Source on air traffic controllers being fired?
Land of the free lol
It was never about saving money. He’s cutting spending in parts of government that are seen as liberal.
But he can’t fire people so what’s being done to the fired people?
American Workers First
So much for wanting to get posts that AREN’T about American politics for once.
Time to change sub name. This used to be a sub with memes giving advice. Now its all been political BS
Yeah this is getting stupid, he’s an idiot and criticize him for everything he does yes but advancing rocketry and space travel is not something mock, none of us could do it. It feels like there is no logic in these attacks anymore, we need to go after the stupid stuff he does not the one thing he does that’s of any help to humanity. Makes the whole argument against him look like you are attacking everything without thinking
They don’t want their tax dollars being used to save kids in another country but it’s ok to spend it sending a rocket to mars
He didn’t fire traffic controllers
He didn’t fire any air traffic controllers
He didn’t fire any controllers. Still don’t like what he’s doing nor do I support him. Just saying…none of us got laid off
And just like that, the Democrats hate space exploration.
What is the percentage of tax dollars to personal capital is SpaceX? Space exploration under full government control doesn’t have a very good track record. How many people have died due to SpaceX accidents? How many people have died due to NASA mistakes?
Space X doesn’t use tax dollars. Are all democrats liars?
lol it took u guys this long to find out the govt has always been corrupt and wasting our tax dollars?? really????
weird how none of the “government waste” ever seems to affect his companies who get millions of dollars in subsidies every year.
Lousy take. Spacex is self funding Starship because it will be massively profitable. This is how plutes turn money into more money.
Stop the rocket man
He isn’t even American
