I heard about him from a Behind the Bastards podcast a few years back. I knew he was a dumpster fire and was really surprised/not surprised he got a position.
Surprised because he’s an idiot. Not surprised because it’s par for this administration.
I’d walk that back to the first trump campaign. That’s when assholes decided it was ok to come out of the closet and abandon all pretenses at having any objective reasoning behind it. The whole “snowflake”, “liberal tears”, and “fucking the country up is ok as long as it pisses off the libs” thing really got rolling.
Don’r forget, we had trump convoys harassing people, nazis at protests starting fights, laws made so that it is ok to run over protesters…. Yeah, the shitty behavior thing was in full swing prior to Covid.
It’d be better if you were an obscure and unimportant member of the Kennedy family and stayed that way.
Just another drug-addicted Hitler.
Yay privatization. Gotta make billionaires richer! But wait, NASA was expensive?
Just take NASA money and give it to Musk!
Since records began, SpaceX has been promised nearly $20.7 billion in government contracts, research grants, and other forms of public assistance, with roughly $8.7 billion actually paid out so far.
Of that promised money, $14.6 billion came from contracts with NASA, covering everything from supply runs to the International Space Station to the design and testing of a new moon lander.
But we can’t just give one billionaire money, how about another?

How much was NASA’s budget last year?
The agency will get $24.875 billion, half a billion less than its FY2023 spending level of $25.384 billion and more than $2 billion less than President Biden’s request of $27.185 billion.

Space Billionaires are so much cheaper… /s
Where’s all the hate like NASA got when they exercised caution and couldn’t retrieve the astronauts?
Ridiculous how some people pander, especially the press, to the billionaire set.
When they have a downturn in net worth people say they “lost” money, or are “poorer” even though they’re still worth billions.
But when they’re making money hand over fist, millions of dollars daily, people act like that money doesn’t exist. “Oh, it’s tied up in investments, you can’t tax it…It’s not income! It’s not in their bank account.”
Always the poor billionaires; perpetually simultaneously unable to touch their money, complaining when they lose money they ”don’t have,” and living like billionaires with all the conspicuous consumption that goes with it.
TF is it with these clueless bullies? They whine so hard when someone punches back.
