Maybe he should just take a one-way solo trip if he loves Mars so much? I think we could crowdsource the funding for that.

    So, one more item in the “Pro” column for voting against Trump.

    Then maybe we can work on fixing the problems here.

    I’m usually rather passionate about space exploration and stuff, but we don’t need to send people to Mars that bad.

    Please have Harris win so this guy can go to jail or whatever the fuck he’s so desperate to avoid.

      I think it’s legit just taxes he’s trying to avoid, but it could be something bigger too.

        I think it is the crash of Tesla, its evaluation is based on being a silicon tech startup, not as an automobile company. So when the shares finally fall in line with other car manufacturers valuation, shit is going to hit the fan. And I think he knows he needs a government bailout and sanctions on foreign EVs specifically to price the competition out of the market. His entire empire is basically being propped up by the Tesla share price. He needs to go all in, it is survival mode for him right now

    What an idiot. Or is he suggesting that Harris will trigger a global thermonuclear war and so China, India or the other space powers will never be capable of interplanetary flight?

      You’re forgetting they’re all fucking racist. They aren’t even considering anyone but the US could actually succeed.

      I think he is suggesting he himself will come under legal scrutiny, threatening him: ergo mars, humanity and everything else.

      It’s all about him

        Meh. SpaceX will continue on without him. Regardless of what he claims, he doesn’t run the company. Gwynne runs the company. He talks a lot of shit and focuses on a grand vision, but the engineers make it happen. At best, he’s like Steve Jobs without any of the charisma. Can’t do it himself, but is surrounded by those that can.

    That’s because he wants to climb to Mars on his pile of money, and right now it’s not quite high enough

    Wether I agree with them or not, I think that news outlets who this openly show their bias are trash and should be ignored.

    Just give me the facts. No need to tell me what to think.
