I saw this b!tch do a Nazi salute so…..yup.

The average American is taxed nearly 40% of their income. We hold this country up. We work hard, we barely, if at all get ahead, and almost half goes to the government. I’m not against paying taxes, I am happy to do so. What’s not acceptable is that my tax rate is higher than that of the wealthy.

What $20 is to me is the equivalent of $200k to Musk. He came to this country, used government subsidies for electric vehicles to become the richest man in the world, on the backs of the American taxpayer, then doesn’t contribute to the wellbeing of this country. To put icing on the cake he spent $240 million getting Trump elected by deceiving and dividing Americans.

Musk is a threat to our nation and the world at large.

Elon Musk wants your sympathy because he had to pay a whopping 4.5% of his net worth in taxes

Elon Musk is one of the biggest incel pieces of shit in the world. Anyone who disowns their child over something like this should be shunned by society for the rest of his days.

The literally only impressive thing about SpaceX Starship test is that it shows how incredibly dumb the audience is at this point.

People keep comparing Starship to SaturnV, because tentatively, if it ever became a space worthy vessel and orbital delivery vehicle (it's not); it'd be the largest and most powerful one in history, with SaturnV its only near peer (sorry, N-1, you really didn't qualify).

And the first "integration test vehicle" (read: the actually whole complete thing, that's literally the point of that kind of test; it's meant to be all the pieces, already tested and proven on their own, finally assembled into the final thing to make sure everything plays nice when together)

So lets see how did Saturn family development go in comparison? How many "integration test vehicles" did the Saturn project obliterate in the process?

ZERO. They blew up ZERO Saturn first stages, ZERO Saturn second stages, and ZERO Saturn payloads.

It's not fucking normal to blow up rockets this size and complexity, because they're expensive and dangerous! You build SMALLER, SIMPLER prototypes, you test those, you do all the "risky" tests on your separate parts of the system, and test the integration at less ambitious scales and stress levels. That's how you do rocket science. Iteratively, yes! But the iterations must make sense!

And let me stress

They got Saturn to moon and back in the SIXTIES, when simulation was in diapers (partially, literally invented within projects like the Saturn series).

SpaceX exists at a time where they can (and should) do 90% of the raw, grueling development with lot of painful failures in digital simulations, or tests where you build a small, simple thing and enhance the simulation based on what you learned there.

And the worst of it all is that another thing that Elongated Muskrat has at this disposal is all of the Saturn research. It's been DONE.

Saturn and other projects paved the worst of this goddamn slog. They did all the dirty, awful work already. They literally gave us the textbooks that you study from if you actually get a science degree (Elon does not have one).

And again, the most embarrassing thing isn't Musk and his poor, toxic, overworked circus that's SpaceX. The most embarrassing thing is the "space science enthusiast" crowd that's cheering on this launch as some sort of tentative success.

The king is fucking ass goddamn naked, and you all yes-men are an embarrassment to this doomed goddamn species. You're not supporting the effort to give Humanity a "chance at survival", you're hooting and hollering around a basementman dumpster fire that's literally immolating what's left of the scraps of natural and human resources we have left.

God damn Trump is genius when it comes to public relations. Does anyone remember earlier, this past fall when Boeing had a technical malfunction and couldn’t get the astronauts? Biden was still in office and asked spacex if they could assist. They agreed and the astronauts decided to stay up and do some more work.

In December spacex, NASA, and the Biden administration come together and work out that sometime in early spring, between February and March, spacex would retrieve them.

This was already set! Long before Trump took office! This was already scheduled!!!

Now Trump is taking credit for it?!! And NPR and nearly all the news outlets seemed to have forgotten?

I mean… I know I may consume too much current events but I clearly remember both these occurrences.

This administration is going to test the limits of what’s true and real, versus what’s completely made up and fictional…

Elon Musk is a fucking Nazi, and I will not hesitate to call him one whenever I can. He grew up in apartheid, he knew what the fuck he was doing.

Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."

This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.

He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.

He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.

He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.

Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.

Folks, the game has changed.

Elon Musk has met all the legal requirements to be denaturalized by the US.

i don't really know anything about SpaceX so when it was trending i thought people were just like really happy about space. like, space x

Tim Curry was wrong!

Space will no longer be the one place....

Fuck capitalism.

I feel like nobody on Tumblr knows that the international space station is being discontinued.

Did you know that? In less than a decade it will be gone
