Careercow Elon Reeve Musk - Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter owner + ex-paypal CEO. Manchild, sexual deviant, spergy autist with access to space travel

[Drip Torch]

both of these are situational

they dont always generate power, and storing electricity on large scales is very difficult

Location and prevailing weather make a huge difference. There is no silver bullet to renewable energy that everyone wants. Unrealistic expectations prevents genuine innovation and implementation.

nuclear can be set up pretty much anywhere and can work at any time (no need for the sun to be shining or wind to be blowing)

hence why i like it the most
the sun and wind need mass amounts of energy storage cuz they dont work whenever u want em to

 

[StormForce]

Now what does this say about people that kiss his ass and others like him.?

they are idiots too. Elon should have stayed out of politics he would have been much more popular in a good way

I miss when he was just Grimes's spergy husband.

Musk is back to feuding with MAGA about the deficit spending.

His timeline is filled with the stuff.

Spoiler

He says he will support Massie (Trump threatened to go after him) and others who oppose the bill.



He floats the idea of starting a third party.

Trump has responded on his own website, claiming it's actually all fake concern and Elon is mad about subsidies. He threatens to cancel contracts with Musk's companies again too.

Musk's response:



Interesting that Elon is very careful to not use Trump's name anymore, even though everything he talks about are policies Trump personally pushes for and support for people Trump personally maligns. He hasn't named him since his crashout in early June.


He responds to Trump aligned media claiming he never mended the relationship to Trump with "fake news".


However:

This reminds me of these troll logic/physics memes from back in the day.

 

[donksmanSupreme42]

why is musk conatantly starting shit with the guy subsidizing his companies?

if i were him i'd brown-nose trump so hard that my whole face will be covered in his shit

you DO not want to piss off ur benefactor

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

To be fair, the fat bastard isn't wrong. He was not exactly quiet about planning to end the EV mandate

 

[W@rui]

It's because Elon, for all the money he has, is somehow incredibly retarded (or autistic depending on how you look at it).
He's also very transparent too, because everyone knows that he's pissed about this and his psuedo-altruistic goals of "getting rid of the uni-party" is just his attempt to get more gibs.

Funny that I didn't like anything related to politics on twitter in weeks, and yet this pops up under the For You timeline

Get fucked, Elon. This reeks of someone who could fix the algorithm (and do something about the people blatantly buying bots for likes) but would rather be an attention whore.

I agree. It’s extremely retarded to say “welp, it doesn’t solve every problem so let’s just throw it out.”

Since when has Elon ever given a shit about the debt? How many dozens of billions of dollars are tied to renewable energy credits, subsidies, etc.

 

[PatrickButtmanJr.]

Elon sucks. He flips his switches more than a strobe light on Halloween

Between his Autism and all the fucking drugs he's on, a strobe light would probably either hold Elon's attention for several hours or cause what's left of his brain to melt out of his butthole.

i live in the desert, basically every household has solar panels to save on electricity costs

If you tried to do that at scale though you would probably end up with large swaths of land dedicated to panels and batteries. Setting up your own solar system is relatively easy and inexpensive these days, so I don't know why there's a push for a centralized solar solution. It sounds like a nightmare.

thats what people do here, it saves a lot of money for relatively low cost

Welp, Massie's fucked. What a shame.

 

[AnOminous]

Welp, Massie's fucked. What a shame.

Musk is too autistic to realize people hate him and if he spends millions of dollars as an out of state shithead trying to influence their elections they'll go out of their way to vote against the Musk guy who has the stench of Musk all over him.

Because he's a drug-addled narcissist. He's had so much cushion protecting him from his own retardation his entire life that he's convinced he's always in the right and that everything he does will just work out. I'm waiting for his third party to fizzle out like they all do and he'll blame its failure on anything but himself.

It’s not the first time. He schmoozed California government into subsidising him to build factories there, to build cars that were only profitable due to the CARB mandate and carbon credits, back when he was pretending to care about the environment.

Then he had an autistic fit when pressed over some health and safety matter, and decamped to Texas.

Now that he’s failed to in his gambit to become the ruler of the US, he might do the same kind of heel turn and move the whole operation to Russia or Saudi Arabia or some shit.

With Musk crashing out again, high time for a situational update.

Couple big things of note: First, the BBB as passed by the Senate has basically gutted the PBR/OMB request that would have wound down SLS/Orion after Artemis III and handed NASA to SpaceX. There are provisions to fund SLS through Artemis V (through 2029) and restore Gateway. Both of these were driven heavily by Ted Cruz, who is a pretty big NASA bulldog.

Second, there's further signs of discontent within NASA, with the recently appointed Chief of Staff outright stating that the PBR has no bearing on the operational guidelines for NASA prior to the authorization of a Congressional budget. Petro has notably been trying to fall in lockstep with the PBR, possibly to curry favor with the White House and secure the admin role herself. This is the highest ranking person to come out and say that Petro's moves towards RIFs and deferred retirements are not truly agency policy. Iran kind of pushed the discussion about a new admin nominee down the road, but it's looking likely that they're going to come up with a new choice soon to limit the damage Petro can do.

If the BBB fails in the House (which is possible but not highly likely) then a continuing resolution has more or less the same outcome with SpaceX losing their shot at regulatory capture and the rest of the space program proceeding as normal.

Finally, very important to note that Artemis III re-baselining and SpaceX's HLS contract have been in the crosshairs behind closed doors even before shit hit the fan. It's very likely that Trump is going to follow through on axing Musk's contracts if he keeps up with the rift. Nobody wants to bat for the sperg, and Trump was Musk's last chance at getting what he wants.

ETA: Trump really wants a Moon landing by the end of his term. That would take something of a miracle but Blue Origin has a much more positive relationship with the White House and they're making serious investigations into accelerating the timeline via using a cargo SLS.

hence why i like it the most
the sun and wind need mass amounts of energy storage cuz they dont work whenever u want em to

The correct choice for energy is "all of the above."
Solar where it's sunny
Wind where it's windy
Hydroelectric where you have appropriate rivers (and can mitigate environmental effects, ideally)
Nuclear where you can build new plants in geologically stable areas
Gas in areas where you're extracting petroleum
EVs for all light duty local transit
Hybrid for medium duty/regional commuters
Gas/diesel for heavy duty/long haul truckers
Grid infrastructure so you can move energy between places with good renewable capacity and places with high population density at the lowest possible transmission losses

Obviously you want to minimize fossil fuel usage longterm if to achieve nothing but making the middle east an irrelevant backwater again. But at the same time, gasoline has an energy density ~150x lithium ion batteries. Obviously if you're purely looking at performance/range you're going to use gasoline. Which is why the idea of an electric semi is fucking retarded. The issue with solar is many of the places going all in on it are just very mediocre places to apply it. Places where a solar panel with a lifespan of ~10-12 years takes 9-10 years to create the energy it took to make it. And the issue with energy policy in the US is that decisions are typically made by a local level utility district without very much high level coordination.
