      Yeah how the fuck do they exclude, “NASA Astronaut, combat pilot, and current US Arizona Democratic Senator…”

    I agree with him, musk should climb into a rocket and be blasted into space (preferably towards the sun).

      Nah, too much fuel needed to get to the sun. Launching straight up and back down is fine. More akin to a missile, but with Elon on the tip as opposed to a warhead of any kind.

      With our luck, he’d probably create some sort of weird, cataclysmic thingy.

      On the other hand making him go extrasolar might piss off the aliens… I mean, we shouldn’t just dump our space trash, right?

        At this point I’d welcome our alien overlords.

        I’m sure after they digest some of the garbage that spills from Musk they’ll show some leniency. Or it will piss them off more that we didn’t “handle” the problem sooner. Either way I’m sure it will be fine.

    I know we aren’t lucky enough for this to happen, but I would really savor watching Musk go the way of the OceanGate douchebag.

      If he launched into space and accidentally crashed into his own orbiting Tesla, it would go a long way towards balancing the karmic scales.

      Let’s not idolize Buzz. He’s an overreactive fucktard who endorsed Trump this election. The worst of all the Apollo 11 crew. Michael Collins was way cooler.

    If not for all of the ozempic and other drug cocktails, Musk would have made a great shield for reentry.
