No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".
But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.
Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.
So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.
@cstross
After all he Made his statement from Mars
Oh
Did he ? -

@cstross I'm pretty sure he also wants his name in the news with stories newer than his email begging Epstein to let him come rape some kids, as if he thinks everyone will forget he's a nonce.

@cstross see also: paypal’s original mission and what it became. overpromise, underdeliver, criticise governments, live off government funding. Musk is a charlatan

Lying worked for Tesla, so he wants to pull the same thing again.

@cstross And the announcement timed after he appeared in the epstein files.
Now we're talking about this BS instead..
Don't know about you but I have not stopped talking about him begging to go to pedo Island (and it seems being rejected the majority of the time)

@cstross it's the 'put it in a box and sell it' paradigm, where neither the box nor what goes in it can exist.
He, like the
, depend on the masses who lack learning. Not education: learning.In the most Twainish of ways.

Ratshit, then.

@cstross
I'm so excited that pedo musk is finally heading to Mars this year. He can use the epstein list as his exclusive passenger list."SpaceX will start launching Starships to Mars in 2026, Elon Musk says"

@cstross Investors don’t need to be gullible to buy SpaceX shares. They only need to believe that some gullible fools down the line will buy their shares at a higher price.

The problem here is that both Elon and investors (as whole financial sector) is currently trapped in the myth of Eternal Growth. They are so trapped in this world where everything must grow, even growth must grow, that they don't see when they cross the barrier of telling themselves fairytales and having ideas that are physically impossible to realize. I'm not sure if this is gullibilty or if they really believe that the growth will never stop or maybe even fear because if they stop doing this, the REAL wold says "I call" and their world will fall apart...

@cstross I wouldn't put it past him to actually believe his own bullshit though.
He'd be "Yes, it breaks a law, big deal, we have lots of lawyers", without actually knowing that no, lawyers can't argue against physics.(Some) lawyers can (and will, if paid enough) argue against physics, but their chance of winning (other than the money you're paying them) is less than infinitesimal. (They're hoping they will be paid more than they get sanctioned for.)
-
Ratshit, then.
@Cadbury_Moose @cstross I mean, once it's rotted down, bullshit is actually useful. Not so sure about ratshit but possibly so. Maybe radioactive waste is more appropriate? it does ruin a good idiom though.

@dubiousblur Remember he owns massive battery factories. However, China more or less has a monopoly on PV panel manufacturing.
@cstross with outdated technology because they failed on the 4680 cells, and with now canceled supply contracts:
Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
A major link in Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain has just snapped. South Korean battery material supplier L&F Co. announced...
Electrek (electrek.co)
Apparently they are using up surplus 4680s in model ys now:

@cstross won't Kessler Syndrome make space launch dead as a business long before that?
