no. just… no.
(fuck)
Is this before or after the teslas can drive themselves? /s
- or before or after he builds underground tunnels for Teslas across country?
Sounds like a great idea. Much easier to block the ends and trap them all in there.
And HYPERLOOP
Oh so the thing right wing loons like to say the Jews already do?
An yes weather control satalites. Has he been reading too many comspiracies?
Watched the None like it Hot episode of Futurama and liked Wernstrom’s idea.
He’s cooked, pack it in. If we’re lucky he’ll fall in love with an AI pigeon and live out the rest of his days in squalor, which is the only part of Nicola Tesla’s legacy he deserves.
He’s fucking Grok, isn’t he?
If he isn’t yet, he’s actively trying to figure out how.
Yes he is and if he isn’t I don’t care I now deem it to be the truth that he is.
That’s amount of respect to reality that he deserves.
Guess they figured out how to bring scarcity to the solar market.
This dude is like some drugged out crazy guy ranting on a street corner.
Just some drugged out crazy guy manipulating entire governments to his increasingly unhinged whims.
That’s not how weather works you moron.
Technically, physics does allow a satellite-based method to deal with climate change. Economics, on the other hand, does not. You would need to chuck an unfathomable amount of mass into orbit.
Do you though? I mean, a satellite orbiting the sun between the earth and the sun could cast a large shadow, right?
Not really. Case in point - the Moon. It’s absolutely massive, like several orders of magnitude larger than any satellite we’ve ever launched, and when it happens to line up just right between the Earth and the Sun, the umbra is only like 150km wide.
If the sun was a point light source that is accurate. It is not though. You would need an absolutely enormous sat to cast a shadow that would actually affect our weather. Plus you would also need a way to keep it in position as the solar radiation would push it out of position quickly.
That’s… Not how shadows work… Or orbital mechanics… Or economics…
His suggestion, impossible as it is, is slightly less impossible than this.
Yeah, that’s why. He must have some weird misunderstanding to think it’s actually doable.
More interestingly, if he truly announced that idea, he’d have to be admitting climate change is real in the first place.
He already has? Y’all seem to have forgotten he started as a liberal darling.
psst… “climate”… and pray tell, which energy source do you think powers the atmosphere to exhibit weather or climate?
Geothermal? Tidal? Nuclear isotope decay in the core?
All of the above Pat.
Take away the Sun. You think what’s left is gonna drive any weather of any kind? With that liquid oxygen sea on the surface…
Also, the sun.
Can we not indulge into the fantasy of a wanna be super villain?
Actually, I’m just here to ridicule it
I’m here to turn a cart around in a narrow hallway
Didn’t MGT specifically make fighting this lunacy her cause?
No, she’s on a revenge kick because the rest of the neo nazis club she works for told her she’s not allowed to run for Senate.
She’s basically throwing a tantrum by being as “bad” as she can imagine, which ironically means doing her job to help the people she represents, but don’t mistake it or empathy, she’s just checking boxes
Not really, she’s just trying to capture maga cult members who are going a stray. She’s still a racist piece of garbage no matter who she picks a fight with.
Alternative title: Ultra rich billionaire makes another idiotic suggestion
No, it will totally come. Right after his mars colony, self driving cars, hyper loop and robots. He could switch his drugs to crack to get even more done! /s
But this is a bad idea that shouldn’t happen
Futurama did it first.
Fuck off Elon. Nobody likes you.
Don’t say that.
People constantly telling him that nobody likes him is how we got this megalomanic asshole in the first place. Like before he stole the idea for PayPal and was just getting in random fist fights with his brother, everybody seemed to hate him.
So like, it’s true, but Jesus keep it down. He’s probably got a ghost profile on Lemmy and uses it to virtually suck his own dick because it can’t be done physically anymore.
I find it unlikely, but it would be funny if he was on lemmy. I haven’t seen a single positive thing said about him here.
Simpsons did it: https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Sun_Blocker
Nice. Some shade to choke to death in.
