Instead of admitting "we can't really go to mars" or that there was ever a point any value to be achieved by that...
He'll just be all like, "hur-dur, I'll cut my own spending because 'merica!! ...And self-sacrifice!!"
And it will be used as an excuse to dip out on the con that was never going to happen anyway, but with positive spin.
**Elon is in quotes, because Elon is an op
I bet you a can of Coke that is one place he specifically doesn't cut. To the victor goes the spoils. He wants that $ from Uncle Sugar.
I appreciate a willingness to make a prediction. Awesome. So many silly people want to throw rocks at theories, but are never willing to make one of their own.
You're on, buddy. This is the perfect way to fold the con.
He'll get other concessions, for his other businesses, undoubtedly.
Tarrifs for competition on his gay cars, relaxed rules on the self driving, no investigations on his many frauds, and defense juice for his space stuff that has a ROI... But the "Occupy Mars" shit... Pure marketing. All bullshit.
The electric car stuff will fade, as that stuff is going to get zero federal push for at least 4 years, but I agree he's going to make bank on defense contracts for starlink and other shit like that, like launching spy satellites.
However, I don't think space if fake and gay though.
I don't think space is fake and gay, I think manned spaceflight is crazy expensive and utterly pointless.
Crazy expensive? Yes. Pointless? There are stupider things to spend the money on.
Why spend money on any stupid things. We're fn broke.
Byebye Mars LARP
Whitey should be on the moon.

I'll take that bet. It's obvious to me that he is sincere about sending people to Mars.
He got subsidies for teslas now he doesn't want them for his competitors. The art of the deal, right?
...And hey, bro, Trump, also some tariffs on those Chinese EVs won't hurt either.
Press X to doubt
He'll make even more once he cancels that expensive-ass LARP
Very possible
Elon is the frontman of operation Elon Musk, which handles are unknown.
We can, though.
Thanks for admitting you know nothing about biology or ecology.
Sure in theory, you can go to Mars, get radiated until your nuts fall off, and bring back a fucking vial of rust while adding trillions of dollars to our already retardedly huge deficit... HuMan ProGreSs or whatever for a day... Then the next day Kilie Jenner makes Pancakes or whatever on Instagram and nobody cares.
It's all so gay.
Your interest in this tells me you're either genz or a boomer.
Where’s your white spirit?
No, seriously. Did you know that white women can’t reliably carry babies to term in the high Andes (or the Tibetan plateau)? Indios (Tibetans) can. That’s the only reason that part of South America is majority Indio today. Spaniards physically couldn’t colonize it with their own children. That didn’t stop them from conquering South America. Whites can’t live on Everest. Never stopped us from climbing it. “Because it’s there.”
Technological work into human spaceflight is responsible for hundreds of inventions we use in our daily lives today–things we wouldn’t have had without it. You want to cut off white innovation? Imagine we actually stop white genocide (lol). What happens when the phosphorus crisis hits us in the latter half of this century? We all starve to death… unless we begin working on asteroid mining for the elements we need to feed ourselves. Or maybe you want to eat the bugs (and algae) because there’s no alternative?
The stars are our birthright.
Good call.

The guy who believed Earth was smaller than it is and therefore thought he landed in Indonesia, you mean? What about him?
I prefer Lief Ericsson.
