Sadly I think there really are 188,000 dickheads on Twitter.

As well as his fellow Nazis, Musk is also wildly popular within a certain subset of the business community in Asian and African countries who are more culturally insulated from his political unpleasantness, but all think that if they can become his friend by liking and commenting on all his posts then he'll invest in their shitty startups.

  • I mean that if someone is intelligent/educated/curious/enough of a mere science enjoyer if not well educated themselves,
    to for instance, know that you need radiators to dump heat in space,

    how has that person not already noticed Elon Musk showing his ass?

    how does it take one until the cool things in space post to find out, if they’re curious enough to know of space radiators already?

    no matter how many times i re-read this I'm lost as to what you're asking.

    but, in space, without a medium for convection (like air rising and taking energy with it), you have simple radiation - any time a surface is above absolute zero, it's probably radiating something in the 'thermal' end of the spectrum.

    Fun fact: Musk isn't an engineer at all.

    Engineering qualifications are pretty specific, and usually the term shouldn't be used loosely if those qualifications aren't there. Musk's education ended at the Baccalaureate level, but crucially in Physics and Economics. He pushes himself as some kind of engineering mastermind, but it's hard to pin down why.

    Contrary to popular belief, he also is not a founder of Tesla.

    188k likes? I don't Twitter. Is the echo chamber really that bad or does he just have it set to automatically give him like 150k likes on every post through the backend?

    Imagine having more money than your extended family could ever spend, the ear of the President, unelected power over governmental institutions, zero accountability, your entire family line can do anything and everything they could ever want... and still choosing to spend your limited time on this planet arguing with internet trolls, hoarding money, and throwing slurs at the science people who made your company and obscene wealth possible. That's why billionaires are pathetic...

    Yup. Those congratulating everyone on a job well done by flipping congress blue are either actual propagandists, unwitting dupes/useful idiots to the DNC AIPAC Genocide machine or just too young to remember this vicious cycle.

    The villain rotation strategy is now on the top of the list for DNC congresspeople.

    How do I know? I’ve lived it and been gaslighted by Blue MAGA for decades.

    Warm up the war planes.

    Whenever the Tesla Supercharger by my house breaks down, a small fleet of Cybertrucks appears. There’s one truck per worker. I guess because it’s also too small on the inside? The “truck” can’t even attempt to fit a sheet of plywood in the back so I’ll assume it also can’t fit more than one person inside.
