On Space: the dumbass frontier?

With current technology, flying to the nearest solar-system would be a 4000-year-long journey

It might be a frontier for people a thousand years from now after completely rewriting our current laws of physics a couple of times over, but probably not anyone currently alive today.

But sure, let's keep giving Elon Musk more money to plan that operation. That is a perfectly reasonable use of billions (or even trillions) of dollars.

He probably needs some money to pay back those Diablo 3 account boosters he hired so he could brag to Joe Rogan's audience that he is one of the best Diablo players on the planet.

The dude who is too lazy to play his own video games is for sure someone I trust to run trillion dollar companies (listen up wall street).

He is only the hardest working man not only alive today but man who ever lived.

He fits in 48 hours worth of work before breakfast. And then he keeps working at that pace for 18 more hours. 7 days a week. 11-and-a-half months per year (he does take the occasional couple weeks off to party at some anonymous den of vice).

Is Elon Musk even technical?

Because if we're being honest, I kind of feel like he isn't. I get maybe 30 years ago he could script together some basic web app during the dawn of the internet as an application platform. But when is the last time he coded anything?

Probably 30 years ago, I'd imagine.

Even if he was somewhat technical at a certain point in time, you don't just keep the skill if you don't practice it.

I took calculus AB my senior year of high school and got a 4 on the AP test (not to brag). I'd have trouble doing a lot of algebra today. You forget shit over time if you don't use it.

Somehow he's conned the general public into believing he is some hyper-productive technical-savant. Just because someone has stereotypical-autistic social awkwardness does not mean they actually know how computers work, FYI.

People think he's smart because he recites science-fiction plot summaries that he hyper-obsessively consumed as a child instead of being good at anything. The only thing hard working about this man is his toilet, cleaning up all the shit he produces.
