I really try to not be a hateful person.  And in this case I continue to fail miserably.  It is my failing and I need to stop failing.
But right now my mind wants to see this dipshit get kicked out of the Whitehouse, Tesla, Space X, StarLink and everywhere else, in the loudest way possible.

Counterpoint: there is a time to hate.

I don't buy it. It is cover for Elon. The damage has been done and the mistrust is there.

The cuts are going to happen. Now All elon did was ID who MIGHT be able to be cut. But you Mr./Ms. Secretary are the one who will do it.

He is the one sleeping in the White House using tax payer dollars to take care of his kid when he is off getting high. He is the one flying his mom into DC. Guess she is taking care of the kid?

The Cabinet will have to deal with the fall out. VA fails? Who gets the blame? Bird Flu? Nope, elon did not "cut" those people.

This is not DC. This is St. Petersburg and Elon is the evil monk.

I don’t hate them, because that’s not what I want to be about.

But I would very much prefer to see them both ruined as spectacularly as possible.

I just want him to go into his Howard Hughes mode a bit early.

Trump could also be trying to walk back his Elon shout out in the state of the union speech due to his lawyers telling him to shut the fuck up dotard. 

"To further combat inflation, we will not only be reducing the cost of energy, but will be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars. And to that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Perhaps. Which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight...”

I dunno about hate... but anger as an emotion can have positive qualities as well.

No, man - it’s bad faith attempts to create facts to beat the many lawsuits challenging Elon’s authority. Particularly litigation based on the Appointments clause. This was only a little later:
 

 

Exactly. No matter what Elon is going to decide. With you or for you, but it is still "your" cabinet. Look at first time around The Greatest people lasted how long? Pence made it 4 years and they then tried to lynch him.

Why can’t Elon be a man and take a ride on one of his rockets like Bezos has?

Hey, but catching the booster rocket with the tower clasp is pretty cool. Never mind that any brave stupid souls on board are scattered all over the ocean below.

This is the best news I've heard today. There's a strong multiplier effect to Tesla's falling car sales.I'm going to spoiler it in case you want to think about what it might be for a moment. It's so obvious, one of us probably should've thought about it.

I’m going to get a good laugh if my wife’s friend that got stranded in Brownsville because of flight delays from the last one, got stranded again from this one as he has to fly to cities affected by Musk often

So I just assume that he’s fucking up the environment down at Boca Chica. Anyone with some ecological and environmental expertise want to weigh in?

No particular expertise myself, but here's an article from September regarding the topic.
https://www.texastribune.org/2024/09/04/space-x-south-texas-environment/

Meat of the article on potential damage:

The Federal Aviation Administration was set to hold public hearings in August on SpaceX's proposal to launch its Starship/Super Heavy rocket 25 times per year from Boca Chica. However, the coalition urged the agency to restart its public participation process.

In a letter to the FAA, they called for a full environmental impact statement, in English and Spanish, that takes into account all the potentially adverse effects of SpaceX. They also asked for more time for the public to review the reports.

“SpaceX is an issue that's constantly changing, that is getting rubber-stamped permits by regulatory agencies that have really broken processes,” said Bekah Hinojosa, co-founder of the South Texas Environmental Justice Network.

A spokesperson for SpaceX declined an interview for this story.

The FAA, ultimately, postponed the public hearings after the agency became aware of allegations first reported by CNBC that SpaceX violated the Clean Water Act at the Boca Chica Launch Site and was unable to confirm the accuracy of SpaceX’s license application and its draft environmental assessment, according to an agency spokesperson.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality also confirmed that it cited SpaceX for violating regulations. The state reached an agreement with SpaceX to address the issue. The formal agreement is pending approval from the commission or its executive director.

SpaceX responded to the allegations in a post on X, stating it was working with the environmental commission to obtain an individual permit for its water deluge system after previously operating under a Texas Multi-Sector General Permit, which regulates the discharge of stormwater used for industry. The company also noted that both TCEQ and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have allowed their operations to continue.

The CNBC report also raised concerns about traces of mercury in the non-stormwater discharge. However, SpaceX said there was a typo in the permit application and assured that mercury levels were well below state and federal water quality criteria.

Turns out aerospace chemicals and a massive level of noise is really REALLY bad for wildlife. It poisons the water and literally crushes eggs with sound

 

Fortunately for SpaceX, that pesky Clean Water Act juuuuuuust got gutted so he's probably in the clear on that.

(not an expert but expert findings aren't hard to find)

No, please not Space X.  Watching the rockets blow up on the way to orbit is great entertainment.  People stare when they see me cheering but I DGAF.

A local naturalist told me last summer when I was in that area that when the big rocket lifts off, its so loud, that all birds in the area abandon their nests. Any nestlings starve. 

 

I also posted a while back in this thread that the entire area will be a superfund site one day. Adios Laguna Madre, I hardly knew ya.

1.99% for 60 months. Isn't that better financing than most simpletons get?
