Guess they figured out how to bring scarcity to the solar market.
He’s cooked, pack it in. If we’re lucky he’ll fall in love with an AI pigeon and live out the rest of his days in squalor, which is the only part of Nicola Tesla’s legacy he deserves.
This dude is like some drugged out crazy guy ranting on a street corner.
Just some drugged out crazy guy manipulating entire governments to his increasingly unhinged whims.
Can we not indulge into the fantasy of a wanna be super villain?
Actually, I’m just here to ridicule it
I’m here to turn a cart around in a narrow hallway

Didn’t MGT specifically make fighting this lunacy her cause?
Not really, she’s just trying to capture maga cult members who are going a stray. She’s still a racist piece of garbage no matter who she picks a fight with.

That’s not how weather works you moron.
Technically, physics does allow a satellite-based method to deal with climate change. Economics, on the other hand, does not. You would need to chuck an unfathomable amount of mass into orbit.
Do you though? I mean, a satellite orbiting the sun between the earth and the sun could cast a large shadow, right?
That’s… Not how shadows work… Or orbital mechanics… Or economics…
His suggestion, impossible as it is at the current stage of human development, is slightly less impossible than this.
Yeah, that’s why. He must have some weird misunderstanding to think it’s actually doable.
More interestingly, if he truly announced that idea, he’d have to be admitting climate change is real in the first place.
psst… “climate”… and pray tell, which energy source do you think powers the atmosphere to exhibit weather or climate?
Geothermal? Tidal? Nuclear isotope decay in the core?
Also, the sun.
All of the above Pat.
Take away the Sun. You think what’s left is gonna drive any weather of any kind? With that liquid oxygen sea on the surface…
Futurama did it first.
Someone just watched Geostorm while on keta
“Elon, where do you get your brilliant ideas from?”
“Well, they just come to me. Because Im so brilliant.”
"So not from other people that you then repackage ?
“No.”
“You dont just buy companies, and slap an ‘I made this’ sticker on it?”
“Not from popular cartoons from over 20 years ago?”
“… go fuck yourself!”
Ooohhh, more lies out of the mouth of Elon? You don’t say!
Well if his Mars target dates are anything to go by (2018 first feet on Mars, right? And where are we with that now? Maybe but not even 1%) then this project would be completed by the year 2489

Fuck off Elon. Nobody likes you.
Don’t say that.
People constantly telling him that nobody likes him is how we got this megalomanic asshole in the first place. Like before he stole the idea for PayPal and was just getting in random fist fights with his brother, everybody seemed to hate him.
So like, it’s true, but Jesus keep it down. He’s probably got a ghost profile on Lemmy and uses it to virtually suck his own dick because it can’t be done physically anymore.
He just keeps getting more idiotic
