This is the clip from Maher

 

 

This is like the hat trick of shit I hate - Bill Maher clips, Pier Morgan clips and linking to rat-fucking Twitter.

I enjoyed Piers claiming multiple times that Elon is an engineer. Idiots.

I didn't watch it, and won't, but that may be parsing it a bit fine for the layman.  Musk has a degree in physics.  Physics is not engineering, I get it, but they're pretty related.  I've worked with plenty of people with physics degrees who operated in an engineering role and did great.

I mean, let's hate Musk for the right reasons.

The dumbest guy in my fraternity got a degree in physics.

Heh, Elmo and SpaceX lost in the trespassing suit from the Cards Against Humanity folks

A year after suing SpaceX for “invading” a plot of land on the US/Mexico border, Cards Against Humanity says it has obtained a settlement and will provide supporters with a new pack of cards about Elon Musk.

The party-game company bought the land in 2017 in an attempt to stymie President Trump’s wall-building project, but alleged that SpaceX illegally took over the land and filled it with construction equipment and materials. A September 2024 lawsuit filed against SpaceX in Cameron County District Court in Texas sought up to $15 million to cover the cost of restoring the property and other damages.

Cards Against Humanity, which bought the property with donations from supporters, told Ars today that “we’ve been in negotiations with SpaceX for much of the last year. We held out for the best settlement we could get—almost until the trial was supposed to start—and unfortunately part of that negotiation was that we’re not allowed to discuss specific settlement terms. They did admit to trespassing during the discovery phase, which was very validating.”

A court document shows that SpaceX admitted it did not ask for or receive permission to use the property. SpaceX admitted that its “contractors cleared the lot and put down gravel,” parked vehicles on the property, and stored construction materials. An Associated Press article yesterday said that “Texas court records show a settlement was reached in the case last month, just weeks before a jury trial was scheduled to begin on Nov. 3.”

The game company said a victory at trial wouldn’t have resulted in a better outcome. “A trial would have cost more than what we were likely to win from SpaceX,” the company’s statement to Ars said. “Under Texas law, even if we had won at trial (and we would have, given their admission to trespassing), we likely wouldn’t have been able to recoup our legal fees. And SpaceX certainly seemed ready to dramatically outspend us on lawyers.”

That'll be a fun set to pick up
