Elon Musk Has a New Excuse for Not Making It to Mars

Elon Musk has said a batch of anserine stuff implicit the years. One of the stupider things he’s said is that—at immoderate constituent successful the adjacent fewer years—he is going to help humanity colonize Mars. Besides the information that colonizing Mars is an unessential and arguably pointless endeavor, we cognize that successfully terraforming and populating the reddish satellite is not going to hap anytime soon because of the evident fiscal and logistical hurdles that it would entail.

Musk, a studied peddler of vaporware, is utilized to spouting disconnected bullshit that uninformed stans deliberation sounds cool, lone to past ne'er execute the feat helium claimed helium would accomplish. On the contented of Mars colonization, Musk himself has admitted that helium wouldn’t privation to bash it because helium doesn’t privation to die.

Now, Musk has a caller excuse for not going to Mars: statesmanlike nominee Kamala Harris. Musk, who has notably been moving overtime to get erstwhile President Donald Trump re-elected, said Wednesday that if Trump fails to triumph the White House, you tin buss Mars goodbye. “Trump supports a authorities ratio committee to let large things to beryllium done, Kamala does not,” Musk said connected X connected Wednesday, adding, “We volition ne'er scope Mars if Kamala wins.”

I’m going to chalk this up to sour grapes implicit Tuesday’s statesmanlike debate. MAGA folks person been taking the statement results alternatively hard. Harris kicked Trump’s ass yesterday. While Harris was speedy and sharp, Trump rambled, lied, and said weird, chaotic worldly like, “They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!”, successful notation to the viral rightwing fake news astir immigrants consuming pets successful an Ohio suburb.

To marque matters worse for Trump, Taylor Swift took yesterday’s statement arsenic an accidental to endorse Harris: “Like galore of you, I watched the statement tonight. If you haven’t already, present is simply a large clip to bash your probe connected the issues astatine manus and the stances these candidates instrumentality connected the topics that substance to you the most,” Swift wrote connected Instagram. “As a voter, I marque definite to ticker and work everything I tin astir their projected policies and plans for this country.” Notably, she did not usage Elon Musk’s X to marque her announcement.

Musk lashed retired astatine Swift, implying successful a consequent tweet that helium would impregnate her—something he’s done to a batch of women but volition never, ever, ever bash with the world’s astir fashionable popular singer.
