That’s not how weather works you moron.
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?
Fuck off Elon. Nobody likes you.
He just keeps getting more idiotic
Simpsons did it: https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Sun_Blocker
What the hell is that thumbnail. That’s nightmare fuel.
That’s a prototype satellite. All satellites will be use cutouts of Elon Musk in this pose to block off the sun.
… He does realize they can’t just shit on international organizations like the UN and USAID and expect the rest of the world to follow them tow in line, right? Specially given this will affect those regions for whom climate change would actually be beneficial.
Anyway, this sounds more like a bullshit excuse to do nothing about the causes of climate change. This would have excessive costs of the solution and the maintenance that would likely have to be footed by society and not the people who do everything to avoid taxes like Musk. This would give polluters an excuse to pollute more and a way to put even more chokeholds around societies.
But even more fundamentally, climate change is due to things like carbon dioxide basically reflecting heat back onto the planet. Dampening sunlight doesn’t just block heat, it dampens the entire electromagnetic spectrum. For a speculative solution you would be adding additional problems ecosystems would have to deal with.
How about narcissistic self-obsessed psychopaths stop trying to milk society for all they have as fast and much as possible? They can start by paying taxes and not engineering entire political programs to subvert democracies for personal gain.
We’re still paying attention to what this moron says?
The less attention we give him, the more insane his statements become like Kanye, or my 5 year old.
Oh, as in launching a bunch of exploding space-shuttles to obscure the sun? Got it.
We are going to build a wall around earth and make the aliens pay for it
“uhhh your country didn’t vote the way i wanted. fuck your crops!” starts scorching summer
No.
Yes, why not let an emotionally fragile, egotistical maniac control the weather? What a good idea.
It really is every accusation is rooted in some desire to actually be doing the thing: Fema camps, weather control, space lasers. These fuckers want all the stupid shit they dream up to be afraid of.
Didn’t Simpsons do this? Feel like they already did this…
Hey hey hey. Elon. 1-2-3-eyes on me. Ok? Listen little man. You have to put away all the toys you already got out before you start getting any more toys out. You made a big mess out there in low Earth orbit already, you need to help clean it up before you start any more games. Got-it got-it?
Yes, I know you don’t want to, but sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to. Yes, even if you took all of the play money for yourself.
Yes, I know your daddy owned an emerald mine. That doesn’t mean you don’t have a responsibility to help keep this whole place usable.
Also, while you’re doing your cleanup, there’s still a hole you dug in Las Vegas that you forgot about, and you also need to apologize to the rest of the class for breaking the government services they all enjoyed, and help everyone put them back together.
I know it’s not going to be easy to fix them. That’s why we don’t break things, right? That’s right. Especially when…? When we don’t know what they’re for, right. But you can do hard things, especially if you have help.
I know you fed it into a wood chipper, Elon. We all watched you do it. No, I don’t think it’s funny or epic.
Ok. Well if you aren’t going to help clean up, I think we might need to have a consequence, ok? …no, the consequence can not be going to Mars.
I appreciate the sentiment, and that was very eloquent, but this fucking criminal shouldn’t be treated like an errant child. He’s an adult and should face the full force of justice as a cognisant adult that has repeatedly and unrepentantly committed heinous crimes. Fuck him.
He will have a lot of time on earth to clean thanks to the kessler syndrome he would create.
This is all pure bullshit, inspired by his fear that his failure to get anywhere near his Artemis mission goals would result in him getting his NASA public money tit turned off.
“I’ll just come up with some bullshit off the top of my head saying I am going to do something with satellites - it doesn’t matter that it isn’t possible - and the American public will lap it up like the mugs they are. They will insist on giving me billions via NASA.”
Trump appointed Musk’s crony as head of NASA so the grift will continue. Musk and China applaud. It will result in China winning the new space race, and is another nail in the coffin of the dollar as global reserve currency. Billionaire grifters will get rich over this period, while the average American will get poor.
We’re in Picard S2, on the Confederation timeline.
Fml.
