Nobody wins a nuclear war. That’s the whole point of it.
Someone just asked me the other day to provide evidence for my opinion that Musk was quickly going to pivot from “Mars” to ICBMs.
It was just an opinion but I guess I have my evidence now.
His new brilliant plan? Instead of 5000 nuclear bombs, we’ll just have one big one! The mother of all nukes launched inside a Starship.
Pretty sure, we’re all going to die now. Thanks Muskie Boy.
Try deescalating and reducing tensions by not pursuing land grabs? 🧐
“SpaceX Nuclear Armageddon Live Stream” wasn’t on my bingo card.
“Want to play a game?”
Jigsaw: In front of you is a button that can launch over an dozen nuclear warheads. You have…
Elon: (smacks button)
Jigsaw: HOLY SHIT!!!
Literally all he’ll be able to do on this front is reference ‘War Games’.
Truly. The guy never really escaped the 80s.
No one wins a nuclear war. But also, this seems like a pipe dream. Israel’s Iron Dome is protecting a country the size of New Jersey against relatively unsophisticated missiles. I’m sure the Pentagon would love an American Iron Dome that can stop ICBMs but it would probably cost more than the entire world’s GDP just to cover the West Coast. And then it’d probably be obsolete before it was ever finished.
ICBM defense especially for the US would have to be fundamentally different than the Iron Dome. Fewer emplacements covering a much larger area and capable of much greater target specificity. Of course it’d be obsolete at deployment and then you could update it as able.
