After hearing the nebulous phrase "citizen journalism" tossed about by Musk for ages now as an alternative to legacy and traditional media, are you all finally ready to see a prime example?

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1650010133651496962?cxt=HHwWhIC9wa7egeYtAAAA

Spoiler: It's bootlicking horseshit!

Also, I don't know what it is, but there's something so aesthetically unappealing about long Tweets.

Ex-NASA engineer being interviewed posted:

“NASA has been hamstrung by politics, but Elon Musk is not, for the most part. Fred shared with me that he knows Elon Musk is an incredibly amazing and kind person, and if his mission is to get people living on the moon that’s going to happen.”

As I watched Fred walk away, I thought about how he explained to me that he had played a big role in designing and developing the space shuttle for NASA. Fred came alive when he explained to me his admiration for what Elon Musk is doing. I saw a spark light up in his eye.

There were a lot of NASA folks present at the Starship launch. SpaceX is opening up hope again to them that we will have people living on the moon and beyond!

Let's interview one of the thousands of smart people who over the decades has helped make space missions real from behind the scenes and have him only talk about how great Elon is and Elon did this and everything is from the hand of ELON. Please notice me, Elon!

And it worked.

Ayn Rand's dystopian social outcomes: all the rich people gently caress off to a secret valley and need to create mechanical replacements for labour because even she knows that the rich are only rich off the back of unpaid labour.

It's why SpaceX has been so successful, NASA has spent the last 50 years getting absolutely hosed by being forced to abandon/drastically change/make stupid decisions about poo poo based on the whims of whoever's in charge of the government at the time. Elon said "here's a virtually unlimited budget, build me rockets" and picked up the cream of the crop in terms of rocket engineers who didn't want their life's work thrown in the bin because the house went red/blue this election cycle.

This is in no way an endorsement of melon.

I've legitimately never been exposed to a less funny human being than Elon Musk. I honestly don't believe it's a possible accomplishment for the remainder of human history. For one, I don't think most people have the privilege to invest that kind of time toward misunderstanding humor.

My current bad joke is this:

What is the most dangerous type of canoes? Volcanoes!

My husband will not let me forget the fact that this joke is terrible verbally. I am still funnier than Musk.

To be fair to that 1990s economist etc., predicting the future is easy with hindsight.

However I think we can safely predict that Musk will continue to create nothing of value, and will try to diss and destroy anything of value he encounters.

IIRC his dad also sucks and they don’t get along, so he probably enjoyed getting to undercut his son’s public statements.

I understand the urge to credit Grimes with dumping Elon and hooking up with a trans lady, but we should not forget how many bad decisions she made beforehand.
