King Bazinga wants a rocket pass that allows him to do whatever the fuck he wants no matter the environmental damage or planetary consequences.

"I bought a ZYBERTRUKKK because I care about the environment" excuses have never sounded more hollow.

Never forget the wealthy would happily fly an untested, unverified rocket directly into your house, killing you and your family generations over and then would go on TV and blame you for it.
- they all literally want to get to act like Stockton Rush and his amazing imploding submersible company.
  
  If they want to act like him they should also end like him.
If Musk wants to launch rockets so badly, we should tie him to a rocket and fire him at Tel Aviv.
Fuck the fish we've got rockets to launch
- Ruining one planet for the sake of fever dreams of colonizing a dead and poisonous planet.
  
  It's so gd stupid
  
  What would be easier y'all terraforming Mars or abolishing capitalism and figuring out how to scrub CO2 from the atmosphere
  
  This is what I tell people. Like even the most climate change addled earth is immensely more habitable for humans than Mars is.
  
  If we solve our problems here... Ya know by ending capitalism... Then we can start doing truly badass humanity spanning achievements. Terra forming mars? Why not give it a go once we've got everyone fed and housed here. Surely it'd be a cool project. But as a solution? Entirely foolish.
- Hexbear really have emojis for everything i can imagine and everything i cannot imagine too.
  
  it's honestly overwhelming sometimes. i need to create a keyword cheat sheet because you only get a quick menu for 20 (?) of your most frequently used ones
  
  not a complaint though you can never have enough
talked to a couple who has one of the first year Teslas, the battery has lost a good portion of its range capacity and they are worried they won't be able to resell it for much
- This is going to be a problem with all electric vehicles, which makes it that much worse that we refuse to make anything affordable and we’ve essentially banned China from selling theirs here.
  
  I love the hot-swap design where the batteries are modular and replaceable. "charging" is swapping your battery for a fully charged one. I read somewhere that some cities in China have been using this for transit buses
- Are they one of those who bought a Tesla as "an investment?" If so: lol. lmao, even.
  
  There was that one bazinga brain who sold a bunch of his stuff and bought a cybertruck for that reason, then had all the problems cybertrucks have had. Still loves the truck though.
I don't think it was ever about protecting the environment with the electric cars, more about owning the libs via king bazinga's racism.
- I contend that early on before got particularly scratched, there were plenty of (and I lived near so many of them) wanted a performative gesture of their own "progressiveness," like what they already did by shopping at Whole Foods, and they wanted to (direct quote from offline person here) "save the planet and look cool while doing it."
  
  "save the planet and look cool while doing it."
i'm crying who came up with King Bazinga
- I might have, but I didn't come up with "bazinga brain" first. I just liked that and kept using it with modifications.
  
  Bazinga brain is so good and has made it's way into my irl discourse
I wish Trump loses just because it would annoy Muskrat
- I will take some bittersweet comfort if wins and continues Blue MAGA because I assume it means eats shit. Unless there's just too much class solidarity and nothing happens and he keeps getting his subsidies.
  
  Nothing will probably happen to him even if the Democrats do win
  
  I'm just so tired of this fucking idiot coasting from embarrassing failure to embarrassing failure without anything approaching real consequences while simultaneously just becoming more and more of a brazen Nazi
  
  On the other hand I can't imagine how much more awful and insufferable he will be if Trump wins
  
  Nothing will happen
I do not think that this man should have a Fish license. I also do not think he should have a Meat license, a Vegetable license, a Fruit license or any alternative way to get nutrition.
Another great example of how if somebodynis complaining about "ridiculous regualtions" it's because they want to break those regulations.

"Why the fuck do I need a permit from the fish people" - person who keeps shooting exploding rockets full of rocket fuel into the gulf of Mexico
- Everyone’s all “law and order” until we come across one of the few remaining laws that apply to elitist white men. Suddenly it’s all “legality =/= morality”
It just makes it all the more puzzling why tf he wanted to be the Tesla guy at all? Shouldn’t someone like Elon Musk be disgusted at EVs because they don’t do emissions (and that’s uncool!)
"The bad evil regulations are why we still don't have the bazinga Mhurs rockets"
