Elon Musk

“As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, ‘I am the alpha in this relationship,’” Justine, who was wed to the mogul from 2000 to 2008, wrote in a Marie Claire article. “I shrugged it off, just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement . . . Elon’s judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking,” she continues, saying he told her, “If you were my employee . . . I would fire you.”

Sort of what I'd expect from a billionnaire called "Elon Musk"

if this isn't technically a dealership, it is at least surrounded by dealerships and occupies a space that was previously a dealership

but yes, they seemed to only have one of each model type available for test drives or something. which is a bit hilarious because the lot is huge.

the cult around this guy is baffling, except for paypal i've yet to use anything he built.

didn't even build this - it already existed at another company that his company (X.com) merged with.

Toupee-pal more like (he wears a wig or has implants or something)

pls tell me someone strapped Musk to the nose

isn't there a left wing podcast you should be listening to?

pls tell me you have better things to do than harsh my buzz, comrade

idk I think it would be a win-win

okay that was fucking cool

the car + the 'don't panic!' thing was a little gross but w/e

the boosters just coming back home to their own separate landing pads was the best part imo

Welcome back lil guys!

yeah the booster landing was amazing, the live footage from the rockets themselves was boss

coworkers were watching this across the row from me.

main comment i heard was "lotta white dudes"

as much as i loath this kind of thing as an early example of advertising/marketing in space, i have to admit this is kind of riveting

are we sure spaceX isn't just faking all this footage? when the boosters re-landed, i don't know, looked pretty fake to me

that really is something, though, when it happens at about 38:00 into the video the late great posted. that's just fucking amazing.

I don’t think the third booster made it? No footage was shown.

a billionaire putting a car on mars in an age of record inequality is very "Whitey's On The Moon" imo

xp

Yes nothing was heard or seen of it, don't know tbh

otm xp

Taking nothing away from the people involved in making this happen, which I'm sure has been mind-bendingly complex, but watching that video I've never before seen so clearly the Kubrickian link between a spaceship and a caveman getting excited over a flying bone

you're a flying bone

Tracer OTM. I appreciate the scientific accomplishment here, but it's a douchy thing to do and I'm afraid we'll see way too much of it in the coming years. Sending a car into space huh? What's next, sending a monkey into orbit? (j/k)

Like this fucking guy. It's a very vain way of polluting space.

ugh I thought LBI's gizmodo link was an Onion article, and I appreciated the effort of setting up an external website, but thought it possibly a little on the nose that they picked a real company name

literally did not realise my mistake until I'd read the entire article and scrolled back to click on the link

back to today's launch, twin landings cool, anything to do with the car ugh

haha wow, well I can't blame you for mistaking it for the Onion. All too real though, sadly.

Lost opportunity not to have a small bit of robotics in the car passenger so he could wave and move his head randomly. Looked like a dead guy.

I was wondering that if instead of burning heavy lift on a car, the test could have been used for something useful - like sending a camera and a drill to ‘Oumuamua. it's possible, but the orbital mechanics stink.

guys hate to be the bearer of bad new but elon musk fucked the rocket and died rip

seems aspirational when you write it like that

he died doing what he loved fucking a rocket and dying

that flat earth dude wherever, isn't that the thing

afaik that guy wants to die in a halfassed rocket launch and has appealed to flat earth people in order to fund his suicide rocker. good grift really

lol check this shit out, what cant elon musk do

The curvature of the Earth got people talking as photos and videos were shared of the SpaceX #FalconHeavy launch. https://t.co/Cod7JFblSI
