1. Musk is another cult leader

Living down here in South Texas, so close to Musk’s “Starbase” at Boca Chica, I see lots and lots of Musk bros commenting on multiple “space” groups on Facebook. The fawning over Musk and his rockets is nauseatingly reminiscent of Trump. No matter what happens, Musk is “fixing it.”

When they launch quickly and shit blows up, the cult members claim this is progress. NASA takes 10 times as long as Musk. NASA sux, man.

The May launch was the first launch since last October. They took FOREVER to tweak this and change that, and suddenly the cult was all, “well, it’s better safe than sorry! Gotta be sure everything is just right before launching.”

To which I replied multiple times, “Hey, what happened to ‘move fast and break things’?” Crickets.

So the justifications change according to the circumstances and whatever comes out of Musk’s drug-addled brain. But Musk, like Trump, can do no wrong according to these blissfully unaware sick sycophants.
