And Musk is going to take 2 women of every nationality on these space arks.

Wait, has he finally got his electric truck running?? Or is this still that thing where he’s faked an electric truck with a non-working mock-up, rolled it down a hill, and sold it to his investors despite not having any product.

He has so many irons in the fire, one has to work for him in the end!

I wonder if Musk is a Stephen Baxter fan?

I first read about “generation space ships” in Heinlein’s “Orphans of the Sky.”

OTOH he could be afraid of the coming revolution where people like Lemont will be hunting down the rich.

A month ago he could not afford a Xmas tree. Where is he going to store all the gear in a small apartment?

interesting thought to ponder: science channel show once said Noah’s Ark was just the right size to carry all the animals, IF what Noah was carrying was their DNA…..

Bored sounds more like it.

That truck ain’t here yet. Ford will beat him to it. Chevy might beat him to it. Once they turn the faithful, his market audience is lost. Plus, that thing is stupid ugly.

Nah he is just doing it because he likes Big Stuff. He’s acting out his childhood fantasies.

Being rich and having government connections doesn’t prevent you from also having voices in your head. Just becauze he thinks something bad is coming doesn’t mean he got that information from a reliable source.

Ah, does anyone remember these “bulletproof” windows in the demonstration being destroyed by a thrown pebble? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQFVb-SCNL4

And anyway, you’d need a pretty big field of solar panels to charge an electric vehicle at today’s rate of power generation. elon is just another snake oil salesman who is too well-connected to be forced to answer for his screw-ups.

Paranoia could explain all of that.

Hmmm, I guess the cat’s out of the bag.

Hoo boy……..
