Elon Musk's quest to colonize Mars could upend international cooperation and the establishment of space as a commons—it's a risk to Earthlings everywhere.
My conspiracy is that Musk thinks he’ll get to Mars more likely if he aligns with the Republicans, and he acts so super stupid on purpose to get along with them.
… and it has landed him a top position in government so far
the comments about slashing social security are definitely unhinged IMHO (so i’m definitely not supporting that) but i’m european and we have more appreciation for social safety nets i would say. america is more individualist, so maybe that’s just “america being america”.
Many (American) folks of mine, even more conservative ones, tend to tune out familiar news sources because they’re so bad. Others are really glued to Facebook or whatever their feed of choice is.
TBH I think America (on average) just lives in a stronger information dystopia than Europe. People here don’t connect social security cuts to them, or even know about Trump’s/Musk’s statements on it.
Morale of the story… please ban Facebook, X, really most engagement-driven social media as fast as you can. Or risk turning into… us.
