But what if K$H is using FBI agents as false flags to attack Tesla facilities so they can collect on insurance now that Tesla revenues and stock are plummeting?
Move that to the conspiracy theory forum.

Long term in space causes physical damage like atrophy and bone damage and in at least one case the astronaut came back a couple of inches taller
Of course. All risks they well understood and decided to take well before ever strapping into a rocket to fly into space. My point is the media and Elon fans are really riding this “stuck in space/rescue mission” angle but that’s not the reality of it. You wouldn’t call the first flight after a layover a rescue mission. That’s essentially what this was. Much riskier and cooler sounding than being stuck at an airport but, essentially not any different.

They were supposed to be there 8 days. They were there for 9 months. That’s some layover

It is. It also highlights how routine and well planned out spaceflight has become that they can be up there so long by accident and still be ok and brought back in one piece. I’m not trying to diminish what SpaceX does. I think it’s really cool what they do and how well they do it but we don’t have to fall for the sensationalism either.

I’m glad to see our astronauts brought back home safe. It’s gotta be pretty surreal to be back standing on terra firma after 9 months floating in the heavens.

I heard today that the reason Democrats hate Elon Musk is because he is a threat to their hypocrisy.
Hate him? I just find him incredibly annoying.

He made Twitter insufferable, which is no small feat with the dumpster that site already was, and now he’s unelectedly firing federal workers on his whims with no plans for the consequences that could bring about. I think his biggest crime though is he’s just a terminally unfunny person who spends way too much time online trying to have his ego stroked by his following.

I think he should maybe focus more on his cratering car company or taking care of his many kids from his multiple girlfriends than trying to control funding and hiring within our federal government.

Kevin O'Leary responds to Tim Walz and his Tesla boycott. "That poor guy didn't check his portfolio in his own pension plan for state. It's beyond stupid what he did." "He doesn't check the wellbeing of his own constituency? That's their investment fund, what a bozo!"

Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA) claims he was the only Democrat official that had publicly condemned the Tesla vandalism. "I'm not going to root against Tesla. There are 20,000 people who work in my district who make a living off of this. They're building electric vehicles that ultimately are good for the climate. Have the protests and the conversation and criticism of musk just don't take it out on a company where you have workers, where you have engineers, where you have scientists which are creating wealth for the country, which is helping the climate."

Reasons to leave NATO and how the US taxpayer not look back.
Because someone is trolling Tesla?
seriously-laugh.gif

My my, someone is sensitive. Come on, what do you expect after cozying up to the German far right, the salute and all the antisemitic and other conspiracy retweets? Musk is going to be hearing and seeing this trolling for a while and deservedly so.

"Reasons to leave NATO"^_^

On his first day, President Trump pardoned 1600 individuals involved in vandalizing the US Capitol. It does send a strong message to rest of the country that political violence is acceptable.
Please don't try to excuse any violence.

Good for the Congressman. EVERY member of Congress should be condemning the violence, not doing so shows a lack of moral character.

That's absolutely false.
It's absolutely true. What message do you think a pardon sends? How about 1600 of them?

Biden pardoning his son meant he believes Hunter did nothing wrong and shouldn't be punished. Trump pardoning Jan 6 rioters sends a similar message that these people did nothing wrong and shouldn't have been punished for their crimes. That's making excuses for violence.

I know, I know.. You totally disagree with that take.

No, your statement was false. Trump never issued any excuse for violence. Trump pardoned people, almost all, who received outrageous sentences compared to Democrats who did comparable things (in many, many more examples).
