    Because schools cannot forcibly out students to their parents SpaceX is now incapable of working there? Seems like there’s something else going on.

      He has a BS cult of personality like trump. And has learned he can distract from his real scandals by causing an overload of stupid shenanigans. That will capture the media focus. And keep it from where it should be.

      Bullshit.

      He just threw down big support for trump, he knows trump cant win CA so this could be a ploy to help him in TX.

      Additionally, musks good friend Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities alongside Blackrock are opening a rival to NYSE in (you guessed it) Texas. Whether or not its related, idk.

        Believe me when I say that it is not to help Trump win Texas. I’ve lived here for over 40 years, and for the last 25, I have kept hearing how this is a “purple state” and “it’s gonna be a swing state soon”.

        It’s not.

        It’s not, it never has been, it never will be, and it’s never been worse here. Which is why I’m leaving this hellhole once and for all next week with my cat, and I ain’t never looking back.

          I ain’t never looking back.

          Do we have a RemindMe bot on lemmy? Or maybe the double negative was a Freudian slip 😉

          You sound like you fell for some big stereotype-filled detached-from-reality circle jerks, of which, this comment section is one. It actually reminded me for some reason of the Huffington Post’s 2016 election predictions. Well, they at least got Texas right. lol.

            Someone, I’m presuming a teacher, petitioned Texas Department of Family Protective Services which, under the directions of the governor, investigated my ex-wife for daring to have a trans kid in a conservative town.

            You can’t respond if you’d like, but I really don’t give a baker’s fuck what you have to say, mate, because you are either willfully ignorant of this fascist bullshit at best or a supporter of it at worst. Either way, maggot-filled bicep gash is more appealing to me that your opinion.

      I don’t. Look, we already had this discussion years ago. You don’t feel bad for the stormtrooper, or their families when you blow up the deathstar. They knew what they were getting into.

        they built another deathstar right? the first one was completed and fully operational before the rebels destroyed it and the second one was still being built when it was blown up

        the first death star was manned by the imperial army only people on board were stormtroopers dignitaries imperials so when they blew it up no problem evil punished

        the second time around it was not even done being built yet was still under construction job of that magnitude would require a hell of lot more manpower than the imperial army had to offer

        bet they brought in independent contractors in on that thing plumbers aluminum siders roofers

        in order to get built quickly and quietly they would hire anyone to do the job you think the average stormtrooper knows how to install a toilet main

        all they know is killing in white uniforms

        all those innocent contractors brought in to do job are killed casualties of a war they had nothing to do with

        alright look you’re roofer some juicy government comes your way you got a wife the two kids in suburbia

        this is a government contract with all sort of benefits and along come these left wing militants and blast everything in a three mile radius with their lasers

        they did not ask for that they had no personal politics they were just trying to scrape out a living

    When asked about his estranged transgender daughter in October 2022, Musk told the Financial Times “Can’t win them all,”

    The guy is just an absolute monster. I think this much of a wealth gap for one person would bring out the worst in anyone. His worst is just really really bad. Never click on X links people please. It’s a small thing, but it’s the right thing.

    The kind of decision making others feel worthy of an over 50 billion pay package.

    Fuck Elon, and fuck the board too. Never buying one with him involved.

    If SpaceX moves, and it’s worker’s are unwilling/unable to move; does that grant them severance?

    I’d take that out.
