    I mean fuck Musk but c’mon that was a PR stunt, they aren’t making these available to the public and the dang thing is an electric car that rockets around on compressed air, it’s not like is a gas guzzling IC engine spraying hydrazine and NTO everywhere. It’s not a good target for this kind of criticism, even if other parts of SpaceX tech are.

    It’s a good point poorly made.

      I would argue everything musk says is a PR stunt and I don’t expect the average human being from being able to distinguish this from the many other lies and false promises he said.

      People still think solar roofs are going to happen, or that teslas will some how get full self driving in 2 years even though it was promised in 2 years a decade ago. People think Tesla robots are going to be able to do more than the fortnight floss dance and are willing to pay tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a paper weight that can’t do anything.

      Elons whole existance is to do PR stunts so he can scam stupid people into giving him more tax dollars. Americans hate African welfare queens, just not the right African welfare queen.

          Man you say that, but I swear everytime he does something like this there’s a good chunk of people who truely believe its going to happen and he’s some benevolent hero who’s going to save the world.

        that’s not why the cap is stuck to the bottle. i think the joke is that recycling is a thing invented by oil companies to push guilt into the consumer instead of the corporate overlords. which yeah, sounds like it’s a funny joke because it’s right. re-usability >>>> recycling
