I would like Elon Musk to demonstrate that he can come up with and run a viable business that doesn’t require a government subsidy!

One billion year orbit? Is he shooting it to Alpha Centauri first?

This is just God’s way of saying “You have too much money.”.

Musk’s biggest engineering breakthrough has been removing the smokestack from the coal-fired automobile.

I could put that roadster to better use than sending it to the sun. I’ll even give him my Ford Focus in return.......

Yep, nothing new here... lots of operational cars of one sort or another sent to space.

“Musk’s biggest engineering breakthrough has been removing the smokestack from the coal-fired automobile.”

Except it’s also a “natural gas, wind, solar and nuclear power automobile”.

I always wanted a nuclear powered car... ;-)

And the government subsidizes this lunatic to the tune of $4 billion and counting. It’s akin to MI7 handing over $4 billion to Dr. No.

Trump needs to cut the funds that Obama funneled to this bipolar spoiled brat.

Have to give credit to Space X and Musk.
He put togeather a great team at Space X.
They are doing some great things.

Can’t wait to see launch of Heavy Falcon.
Good luck and God Speed.

Some lucky Alien is going to get a great car.

“And the government subsidizes this lunatic to the tune of $4 billion and counting.”

And exactly how does that make him a lunatic?
