    The older he gets the more true it’ll be. Once he change sthe law to become supreme leader for life it will also get easier, just need to keep him alive longer. In China they harvest organs from young people to keep the CPP top alive as long as possible, so why not in America too? Learn from the winners! /s

    Not very. The DoD is aggressively apolitical with regards to domestic politics.

      DoD is the institution that basically bankrolls most of what musk ever did, to me this just feels like a modern howard hughes, a flashy rich public person that does “crazy” things, very usefull thing to have to hide big military projects in plain sight…

      I dont even know what the implications are when the guy that was supposed to be the diversion ends up that close to the power that funds him.

        So far Musk’s relationship with DoD is mostly just hucking their satellites into orbit. He’s not really doing the crazy military stuff.

        DoD is way more interested in the big primes - Lockheed, Northrop, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Boeing, etc. Satellites are just a piece of the bigger package. They still need missiles, tanks, and aircraft to act on what the satellites teach them.

      That said I am very concerned with the influence he undoubtedly will have with our space asset acquisition policies.

      Oh is that why it’s always left-leaning governments that get targeted?

    After all, King Bazinga would not have invested millions of dollars in the Orange Man campaign if he had not been interested in having more interference within the bourgeois state. It is the bourgeoisie in control

    Maybe. But I won’t be surprised to see this vehicle be on top of a ship, with a name of some obscurely elite group of ppl.
