Oy!

[GoldenState_Rose]

He’s so open and transparent about his ideas, and about whats percolating through his mind - is this safe?

[Da Coyote]

He obviously skipped history lessons.

[I want the USA back]

One of the purposes of colonizing Mars, or any other planet, is to establish a new civilization MINUS Christianity. There will be absolutely no Christian influence allowed. The laws will be based on materialistic humanism.

Mob rule on one hand versus a bunch of corrupt ‘representatives’ on the other, rock meet hard place.

[Menehune56]

Were the Martian Government invited to SXSW this year? Wow!

[dp0622]

Keep laws short. […] Something suspicious is going on if there’s long laws.”...

CANT ARGUE WITH HIM THERE!!

I wish more Rs thought that way.

"Mob rule on one hand versus a bunch of corrupt ‘representatives’ on the other, rock meet hard place."

Only one way around it, appoint Elon Musk Emperor of Mars.

[DoodleBob]

He forgot to take into account the current ruling class.

[laplata]

Lol.

[erlayman]

And medical school. There is no way to even get there safely at the present.

We are so far away from safe travel to Mars that this is really a form of L Ron Hubbard dreaming, at the moment.

Get back to me when you have a propulsion system that can cut the travel time down to 10-14 days... and when you have an army of robots on the surface that have pre-dug tunnels and pre-built underground living quarters. And when you’ve pre-positioned a few years worth of everything you’ll need in your little dug-out living spaces.

Then it’s realistic.

Right now it’s humorous fantasy. Just don’t tax me for it.

[Kriggerel]

I grok that.

[vooch]

Is Musk more akin to

Bricklin or Deloren ?

[PIF]

Direct democracy - is that where we can’t stand Bob’s BO and so vote to exile him to the outside and we keep the suit since resources are limited ... ?

Musk is an idiot leftist when it come to government. The Mars government will be and do whatever Earth tells it, else no supplies. See?

[CincyRichieRich]

Lynch mob mentality; genius!

Let’s vote on who gets hanged!

Hope the gravitational forces there don’t let ropes work!

[boycott]

Another great idea. Our government should send him another $20 billion of taxpayer dollars.

[butlerweave]

I think the Indigenous Martians will have something to say about it ,LOL

[Windflier]

"...he shared his ideas for a government framework on a future Martian colony."

I'm tired of Musk and his grandiose schemes for re-engineering human society.

Shut up and enjoy your government subsidies, Musk.
