Fuck everything about Elon but that would be amazing on a few levels
Except it wouldn't surprise me at all.
The only things he could do at this point to surprise me is say something that isn’t stupid as fuck
He could give up his fortune and go sit under a bodhi tree and meditate until he found enlightenment. That would definitely surprise me.
Him building a submarine to visit the Titanic wouldn’t surprise me, but given his level of competence it would surely delight me
It would surprise me only in that, even though most people seem not to have noticed, Mr. Mars Colony has never volunteered to go up in a SpaceX rocket.
He's a coward.
A very wise point, his ego and cowardice must just be in a constant battle for what he does next. Both are boundless
He hasn't even been to space. Period. Which surprised me after looking it up reading this comment because I thought he had at least gone to space with someone else's rockets on just one of those PR stunt trips that barely even can be called "going to space." Ya know, like Bezos did.
That’s what makes the AI memes that one of his lackeys posts every day on twitter all the more hilarious. Weird uncanny valley images of him standing triumphant on Mars like a new Roman emperor, in a city he built with his own hands, toiling with his own blood and sweat, with claims that this will all become reality in a mere couple of decades, within our lifetimes. His response to these wild delusions? A laconic, lackadaisical “Yeah”
Lmao. Hmbol, even.
