      Like converting it to dollar bills and burning it for warmth come next winter. That sounds less wasteful

        I agree fuck musk but you are straight lying, he is the founder of SpaceX and spaceX is the most important company he owns I would say.

        The incredible engineers at SpaceX are why it’s such an amazing entity though, not musk rat.

      The ironic part is, despite being a large shareholder of a company named Tesla, he’s a modern-day Thomas Edison.

        At least Edison was also an inventor and not just a thief and a fabulist.

      He’s literally one of the biggest drains on society in existence. He uses as many resources as thousands upon thousands of people produce.

    So you see, a good reason to go to the polls (if you’re a US citizen of course) is to make it so Musk and other billionaires will have wasted all that money.

    Meh, I wanna see receipts. I hate the dude, but he’s also a habitual liar, like Trump. So I wouldn’t put it past him to make this up.

      My guess is he’s just trying to stay in the headlines / be relevant.
