I would listen to this video and you can determine if Elon is a patriot. Biden left U.S. citizens trapped in space--not a patriot. Hear it from the man himself.

Boeing is to blame for that failure, and no one else. It was the first trip in the Boeing, and they knew it could have issues given Boeings terrible history, they should have never gotten a contract anyways, but that's America for you, lower bidders always get a shot. There was no reason to waste money on an entire return flight for scientists who's job it was to be up there, so they came down on the next scheduled trip, which was on the more reliable SpaceX craft. They weren't stranded, that was Trump trying to make it political when it wasn't.
I hate Joe Biden, and I, and most of you would have criticized him for wasting taxpayer money for an extra trip to bring them home, when they are scientists and astronauts for whom the time in space is PRICELESS experience in their fields, not to mention potential media and book opportunities, their desires were taken into account first, and they had no problem staying longer. They were not stranded. The next flight was going to be a SpaceX capsule anyways, as scheduled, and the astronauts chose to wait for the next scheduled trip instead of chancing coming back on the Boeing with a potential malfunction (it came back fine), or wasting taxpayer money for an entire extra project that would be rushed to bring them home. Elon wasnt footing the bill to bring them home early, we were. They were under zero risk, and now they are famous, because Trump and Elon used them as pawns for political points and you were all duped into thinking this was anything more than a normal space precaution to prevent accidents.

That's the crazy part, you guys were actually right about Elon being a hack, electric cars, and especially electric boats being a terrible idea, but now that Elon is sucking up to Trump, conservatives are buying cybertrucks. It's come full circle. Watch Elon finally start his plan to make a Tesla Boat and get thousands of presales with Trump selling it in front of the White House, I wonder what you guys will say then lol

Elon Musk and Sean Hannity are lying charlatans. They have zero credibility to me.

LOL...you have it all figured out. Enjoy your endless boating days and retirement. Some day I hope to catch up with you to the point where I can say that someone who is one of the largest employers out there, self made entrepreneur, and is worth Billions has no credibility. You are obviously flying high in this world and look down on all of us.
I will stick to my previous statement-spend some time with your grandfather and learn before you try to teach.
Joe

Elon Musk is not a self made entrepreneur. He didn't start any of the companies he runs. His father owned an emerald mine, he is facing multiple lawsuits for actively punishing unionization, and for racial discrimination which will go nowhere now that he's purged the FTC. He is an active supporter of the great replacment theory which is White Supremacist, and he is also broke the law when he helped start his first company, the only one he actually helped found, Zip2 which no longer exists, because a condition of a J1 visa is that you can only study, you cannot work or start a business. Elon Musk as a student under a modern administration may very well have faced deportation, which is partly why he passionately supports H1Bs, which MAGA criticized him for correctly until Trump told you guys it was actually a good thing, when in reality it just hurts American workers.
If he were a good entrepreneur, his investors wouldn't be calling for him to step down as CEO or give up his role in the government, because of how his actions, and lack of priority for his companies image, is effecting his sales, his companies wouldn't depend completely on government subsides and contracts, and he wouldn't think he is capable of running 5 massive companies in a 24 hour day so much better than anyone else that it wouldn't be better to have other people in charge. He also wouldn't have taken loans out based on Tesla's inflated stock price to buy Twitter at double it's valuation.
Not to mention the fact that I'm a Jew, and I've been trained to recognize the nuances of a sieg heil for my entire life, which has been emphasized by racist redneck kids in school doing it to bully me for years. I know the difference between a wave and a sieg heil, it's subtle to the untrained, but its very clear to Jews. Tucked thumb, arm locked aggressively, angry face, touch to chest first. It would have passed a Nazi military inspection. And then he didn't deny it at all, or apologize or state he didn't intend that. Just made Nazi Generals pun jokes and said the critical comments have made him feel bad.
So no, Elon Musk can go back to South Africa, or he can stay on mars, but anyone who goes to live or work on his Mars colony can keep whatever messed up society he intends to run up there. We will be better off without him.
I'm not better than anyone nor am I trying to teach anyone. I'm just exercising my first Amendment right while I still can. If he can deport people without any trials, denaturalize citizens born here who's parents aren't citizens, and revoke green cards for people for protesting against Israel, he can certainly send me to American soil on Guantanonmo for "supporting terrorists" too if they want to. The US Constitution is his toilet paper now. Sometimes I wonder if any of you would have an issue if he starts sending Americans with American parents, like me, to gitmo so long as I'm labeled an enemy or a terrorist sympathizer just for sharing opinions on the internet or attending a protest. Where is the line?

Retired astronaut, Chris Hadfield has explained why NASA's Barry 'Butch' Wilmore and Sunita 'Suni' Williams were never stranded on the International Space Station, despite reports stating the contrary.
After a long and highly-anticipated eight months orbiting Earth on the ISS, astronauts Butch and Suni will be splashing down off the coast of Florida later today (18 March) and beginning the process of readjusting to a life with gravity.
As NASA scrambled to work out how to bring the pair safely home, reports that Butch and Suni were essentially stranded alone in space began to circulate online.
However, one retired astronaut has now explained why this isn't actually the case.
"People said they were stranded on the space... they were never stranded," he explained. "They were where they wanted to be, and they could come home if they needed to, every single day that they were there. Nobody's stranded."
Chris isn't the only person to dispel the idea that Butch and Suni are floating around in the middle of nowhere and surviving on basic rations either, with Steve Stich, manager of NASA’s commercial crew program, saying last August: "I want to make it very clear that Butch and Suni are not stranded in space."
So, why has NASA waited for nearly nine months before bringing the pair home?
According to Hadfield, this was all to do how staffing on the ISS works.
"The vehicle that they're riding home in has been there since September," he explained. "They could have come home in it any day, if they needed to. But of course, that then there wouldn't have been the right people on Space Station, and so they wouldn't have done that."
Which makes sense, although it's less dramatic than a story than two people living out the plot of The Martian in real time.
"That’s been the narrative from day one: stranded, abandoned, stuck — and I get it. We both get it," Butch explained to CNN in February. "But that is, again, not what our human spaceflight program is about. We don’t feel abandoned, we don’t feel stuck, we don’t feel stranded."
In Hadfield's mind, it's not the astronauts working on the ISS who are 'trapped' but people who live out their entire lives on Earth who are.
"Astronauts think people on Earth are stranded because they don't get to leave," he added.
"They don't get to go into the third dimension. They don't get to go around the world 16 times a day they don't get to fly weightless."

US coal ash contains $8B in rare earth metals

One more arguement against coal, down the drain... the waste is valuable! Now we can burn coal and build EV's out of the waste product!
