Literal moon shots, while he contributes meaningfully to worsening conditions on Earth. His dismantling of USAID will have a more consequential effect than 90% of his fever dreams ever will.
Starship will never get to the moon.
those rockets use a lot of those same fossil fuels. And he can't even complete a project in Las Vegas, so lets not think he knows how to build on the moon. I live in Nashville, the site of his next little Tesla tunnel. I promise you none of us are holding our breath on that one.
I have a bridge in downtown NYC, interested in buying?
What does he do except making fossil fuel MORE critical? What do you think rockets are powered with?

Every EV Musk sells enables more ICE cars to stay on the road.
If you want to drink the kool-aid thats fine, but the facts are not on your side.
It's not 2014 anymore. Check his tweets, right wing slop occupies most of his brain these days.
