Would be even better if they got boeing to help too. Would be just the best plane ever, such a great plane. Other people would look at it (as it explodes in a fireball in the sky) and say wow what a beautiful thing
We know you can make it happen God, we've seen you do it with that skit-of-skits billionaire sub thing God. We know you just need them to all willingly line up God. Well they're lining up, God! They're willingly lining up! It's your time to shine God!

We need a sky god to start making our annual billionaire sacrifice too.
The gods of the deep need some of that, too. Titan was a worthy sacrifice.

Yes. Make him hasten the process. And have both of them on all flights.
trump killing himself by using Musk to skirt safety precautions so he can feel special riding around in a shiny new ego tube might be enough to get me wondering if god exists.
Wouldn't be the first time for high ranking officials to die that way. It happened at least once in the soviet union.
It happend in Poland in 2010 too :)
Please let them both ride it together, please please please.
And take the new FBI director, I hear he likes plane rides.
Beside all the jokes that we want the president and trump to ride that plane together... He's on a mission to save as much money as possible and then he wants two new airplanes for himself???
So technically they were commissioned during the Obama era, Trump 1 threatened to cancel the program if the budget went over 4 billion, then Boeing appeased him.
Also the reason they were commissioned to save money. Aging aircraft are a bitch to operate. That's why cheap airlines like Ryanair only run new planes.
Also there are already two of them. I suppose one is probably a backup?
Also, fun fact, technically any plane that the US president is currently flying on, is at that moment, Air Force One.
1 for him to golf, and 1 for secret meeting with putin/russians.
Please, God, if you're listening, do something really really funny with this.

Ordinarily, the implied result would be sad due to the press corps flies on air Force one as well, but now that they've replaced all reputable news outlets with Fox clones... Let's do this!
Oh wow, what's the worst that could happen, they skip safety and defense features and the plane gets shot down and the president killed? Oh man, that would be horrible, just horrible!
It's good they chose Boeing to build it lol

sounds like a chance for the world. boing is doing so well in recent years. get all republicans on that plane. put bannon in. put all other friends of epstein on that plane and have it tour the world.
It's not a death threat if you're supporting their death wish.
Please have Boeing do this. Focus on the doors.
OceanGate!
Next will be SkyGate. The year the GateVatar will be born.
I was gonna say, hopefully Trump's up for some deep sea exploration next!

Could Musk be useful for something after all?
Dear Boeing,
I know i said i wanted world peace. Hear me out.
The only bad part about the obvious outcome here is that we'll have the 9/11 and JFK conspiracy theorist types jerking themselves raw about how it was absolutely a conspiracy to assassinate him.
Yeah, they'll say that no matter how he dies. "Deep state operatives made him eat that fatal cheeseberder on the toilet!"

SpaceX and BOEING engineers. You know what to do, right? GET TO WORK!
An underpaid Boeing engineer has a chance to accidentally do one of the funniest, most earth saving oopsies of all time.

This is starting to feel like someone's playing a joke on me and the whole world is on it.
DOGE needs to get rid of those pesky safety regulations holding up the plane.

Trump is completely right on this issue. Despite the fact his plane is produced by a company plagued with consistent quality control issues I believe this should be rushed into service as quickly as possible. In fact, I agree that the anyone including temp workers should be allowed in to get this thing in the air today.

Oh! Wouldn't that be a nice resolution...
Put the President and Trump on an unsafe plane and sent that bitch on a nice long flight over the ocean.

The less safe the better.
Seems like an opportunity for Musk to create plausible deniability for taking the throne.
Boeing, Musk, and a rushed time frame? I've rarely seen a better recipe for disaster. Maybe we are lucky and Trump and his cronies just fall from the sky even on the first flight.
