Wut?

And just like they did in Maine, California will sue him and win.

Except that NASA is a nationally owned branch of the government. They answer directly to the executive branch and are funded by Congress. They are not a "company". They are a government agency.

That's because...technically...the government mostly provides contracts to SpaceX to take their stuff to and from orbit. They're basically paying for a service...not investing in SpaceX's product development. Even though that is an indirect result of giving them those contracts.

It's like hiring a landscaper to do your lawn. They come with their own equipment, so even though they bought it using the money you pay them...you don't own any of it. They do.

SpaceX operates a fleet of privately owned ICBMs under license from the US government.

That's not true. All nuclear weapons in the US's arsenal are under the control of the US military. You are correct to say that it would be illegal for any private contractor to operate its own fleet of ICBMs...and that includes SpeceX.

The intellectual property they are using is subject to ITAR regulation. Any American trying to transfer that IP outside of the US would be quickly indicted. Any foreign government using or authorizing the use of that IP would be heavily sanctioned.

ITAR doesn't prevent SpaceX from moving its base of operations to another country. As I said, they are a privately owned company. Moving their operations to another country is not the same thing as "giving" that technology to that country.

SpaceX is a privately owned company. I'm absolutely certain the US government doesn't own any of their intellectual property. If they chose to, they could move the entire operation to any other country, and US courts could probably do nothing to prevent it.

It dissolves...but into what? Sounds like a recipe for a petroleum salt water mix that's probably just as toxic as melted plastic, unless all the petroleum is removed.

As usual, this doesn't actually make any sense. I genuinely wonder if Trump understands anything people around him are even talking about...or if all of his interactions with others, are just a series of Charlie Brown adults "mwa-mwa"ing at him while he struggles to pay attention.

And that is most likely why they are now a "former" DOGE engineer.

That's the neat part. There isn't one.

Ok, so let's assume they are playing 4D chess. What's the objective? Creating a distraction before releasing the Epstein files? That's what all this is for?

That's not 4D chess. That's a clown show with smoke bombs.

Aaaaaand...this is why you don't outsource this kind of shit to private interests. At any point, they can just pick up their ball and go home. Now all the money they invested in SpaceX just gets flushed down the drain. The government winds up with nothing to show for it.

Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long.

Good. Let it all burn. I hope this clown goes down in flames, right along with it.

This is giving off Andrew Yang vibes.

So...it sounds like she's pissed that the party forced Biden to step aside? Am I reading that right?

Lol! That picture says all you need to know about this douchebag.

And the march ever rightward continues.

"Outside" works. So does "the sky". "It" can also represent "today", or "right now".

So, it killed 90% of the females...but does that mean that the 10% that survived will go on to produce resistant offspring? This sounds no different than every other attempt they've made at eradicating mosquitoes.
