Whether Trump or Harris wins, the US military is still the single largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.
Will global warming be accelerated under Trump? Yeah, probably, but the problem is here and now. Without addressing the US military complex emissions and billionaires taking space walks, the speed is a relatively moot point.
Honestly? A really good therapist, reading some very interesting books, and prioritising building a community & finding my people.
For the first time in a while, this hasn’t been me! Small victories.
That’s true, however Tesla’s relevance in that market has really dwindled:
Tesla gross profit for the quarter ending March 31, 2024 was $3.696B, a 18.07% decline year-over-year. Tesla gross profit for the twelve months ending March 31, 2024 was $16.845B, a 15.37% decline year-over-year. Tesla annual gross profit for 2023 was $17.66B, a 15.31% decline from 2022.
the global satellite market was $4.23B last year
The thing is SpaceX and Starlink have weathered the Elon Musk storm. Starlink was predicted to make $6.6B in revs of, as you said, a market that is currently much smaller. Sure, it’s not profit and firing things into space isn’t cheap (nor desirable and should be legislated against). However, they’re filling the niche and as EV manufacture ramps up, and with Tesla’s image tainted, I do think Musk (and those around him) will be looking a bit more towards the steady government money.
I think you really need to ask yourself why you’re willing to either lie or be so easily manipulated
Totally unnecessary. You’re comparing a publicly traded company running on memes and a strange cult of personality to private valuation.
Now that China and other domestic competitors have ramped up EV production Tesla’s dominance of the niche is going to fall, especially considering the flop that was the Cybertruck and the brand damage Elon has committed.
We are already seeing protectionist measures being enacted for the EV sector.
In short, SpaceX and Starlink have a market to dominate (whether we want it to or not, it seems) while Tesla, a grossly overvalued company, is only going to see more competition and deepened irrelevancy.
How true is this or are we doing the same thing “generation killed industry/way of doing things” that the boomer media is so fond of?
It is. The meme has four glottel stops, this has three. The meme has the “el” removed, this doesn’t. Weirdly, the meme has the “o” sound removed for for “of” as well.
It’s an entirely fictitious way of pronouncing something, it equates a very, very small subset of the country with “Britain” and is a great example of “fake American British accent” becoming the “norm” to the extent where British voice actors are training to put on voices to sound “more British” (such as Tracer in Overwatch).
The meme might as well say “burdle der wurder” and claim it’s how American’s say it - kinda close, but also really far 🤷
THAT’S how Americans think British people pronounce it? I was looking at the image for ages trying to sound it out.
Please tell me no one seriously thinks this?
“Worst” case I can think of is “Bo’el o’ wa’er” and even that is incredibly limited to like…four boroughs of London.

Your title made me wonder: would NASA get more funding if they strapped AR-15s onto the rovers and called it a liberation mission…

Completely agree, and through no fault of our own. We’ve not been raised to be informed or taught how to become informed. A lot of people struggling through after the propaganda blitz of education and the mind-numbing effects of modern labour & surveillance capitalism.
