It will only incentivize Elon (and all the other filthy rich) to build air conditioned luxury bunkers guarded by AI killerbots in places like New Zealand.

Or maybe something like the titular space station in the movie Elysium, where they enjoy the newest medical treatments while looking down on the rest of humanity trying to survive on a planet that has turned into a helhole.

Well, we’re going to be acting on it now. Very pro

I hope he does and that all the billionaires join on the maiden flight, we're gonna get rid of the worst scum in one single swoop. I mean, chances are that things will go as well in space/on Mars as his self driving teslas, so please do that ASAP

This is my biggest concern. Like whatever on economy. Do I want more for everyone? Absolutely. But those can come back in 5-10 years.

The environment doesn't have that long. We had the hottest summer and about to have the coldest winter and they are all like "let's go orange man!" And not giving a fuck what they leave for the next generation. So fuckin selfish. I hate them so much.

Actually China is leading the planet on renewables deployment.

I haven't combed through the data in a minute, but I want to also say that they're also leading in fossil fuel deployment too. Probably is due to their population size than anything else.

Don't worry though: America can't stand that China is doing better than them at something, so we're going to try to punish them and frame them as the bad guys since America can be the only one espousing leadership, not the Big Bad East.

Just give Facebook a permaban. Them banning you is like your boss writing you up for having the best attendance.

Don't you just love freedom of speech?

Look on the bright side, late night political humor is going to get more interesting. They are putting RFK Jr in charge of key public health industries, which is going to create an entertaining amount of karma.

I do hope that the US is able to rush some Ukraine aid, but it does look like Europe is also going to have a hard road ahead. This isn't just Trump winning out, it is a form of undermining democracies winning out, and it will continue to spread much quicker now.
