The billionaire says that if he doesn't successfully colonize Mars at some point in the next few years, you can blame Kamala Harris.

    Remember when Las Vegas was set to receive the country’s first high speed rail between there and LA until Elon Musk promised the city commission that he could do it cheaper using the hyperloop? And then the hyperloop became a murder subway until it eventually crumbled beneath his hubris?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

      Or the fact that the whole thing was a gimmick to stop the rail from being built so that it wouldn’t affect the sales of teslas.

      And the fact that he can suck it because it’s still happening

        Putting humans in an extremely low atmosphere environment… underground. I let you think of the really bad accidents that could occur from that. I’ll start you off with, what if there’s a fire? What if there’s a leak? Or an earthquake?

        It’s got all the terror of space, but you’ve also got thousands of pounds of earth overhead. Makes Oceangate’s Titan sub seem downright safe by comparison.
