Elon

[TankTop5]

I figured in low of recent events Elon Musk deserves his own thread.

One thing of note, think of
Satellite cell phone service. Communications. ATT, Verizon T-Mobile all the rest of them shaking in that boots their so corrupt. But than again it's human nature to be evil.

Looks like a real possibility he buys MSNBC.

That would be good.

Hopefully better than Faux primetime.

I believe you intended 'in lieu' but I agree with your original statement.

Don't see it happening, but the thought of it being out there sure has some in a tizzy.

He could take the top 10-15 political/news podcasters and give them 30 minute slots. R in real time, daily, weekly or monthly rearrange their time slots based on viewership. Nobody is guaranteed their spot. Do something similar for advertisers, they have no say in content (yes it’s a tea thing and happening) and they pay simply based on audience size.

He was actually illegally in the US for a little while. Doesn't matter to MAGA apparently. Oh well.

 

[mtrycrafts]

And Melania had work issues as well.

I'm.not sure some of you understand Musk (not that I do). Yes, he had illegal status for a brief period, however he was contributing to the US economy and in other areas in favorable ways.

I can't speake for MAGA, but his case is completely different and I'm not sure how this is a valid comparison?.

So all the illegals doing lawn care etc. that no one in the US would do are NOT contributing to the economy? OK so it takes 200000 of them for one Musk but which would really effect the economy more?

So was the guy that installed my flooring. Like Elon he retained an attorney, applied, was granted, and drives a nicer vehicle than I do.

Oh Christ here we go. Racist much?

It's 2017 and I'm at a party of overly educated people. Talk turns to Trump and Illegal Immigration. I tell them a country has a right to control borders and the influx of people. Then the White Liberal Lady (TM) asks me who's going to clean my house.

We have help come by every two weeks. Two where white, one was black.

Then the other person there, unbeknownst to the first lady, well 1st generation American, parents from Mexico. And it certainly popped off.

What you seem to be in favor of actually is labor exploitation to the tunes of sticking it to millions of people.

 

[jinjuku]

I just want to point something out:

The Space Shuttle, when all program costs are taken into account, averaged $73,000 per 2.2lbs boosted to Low Earth Orbit.

Falcon Heavy? $2700.

Starship when it hits it's design parameters? $20.

You want to get into what he did in the EV space?

Did you say racist?

A pioneering program and spacecraft developed 50 years ago was more costly? I'm shocked.

YMMV, but I'm not a fan.

Oddly this is the exact argument the South used about slavery.

Exploiting others to do the work you won’t.

In other news virtually every discussion of deporting illegals also includes drastically increasing legal immigration. We need to know who they are, where they are and they need to pay taxes.

Really? This is the first time I've seen this justification. Got any references?
