Finally a positive news :)

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 13 points 3 days ago

Seems like an opportunity for Musk to create plausible deniability for taking the throne.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 16 points 3 days ago

This could be amazing.

You want Vance? That's how you get Vance.

This is starting to feel like someone's playing a joke on me and the whole world is on it.

A boy can only dream ;)

Look do you really need to tighten every screw? Maybe skip every 8th one or use the aluminum screws instead of the steel ones - then you can carry more screws.

I have lots of ideas how they could speed this up.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Oh man. Please. Please.

Not that it matters. Another bumbling moron is next in line. Then after that a religious zealot.

But for my own satisfaction....pleeeease.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Two new Air Force One

Two new

One

REEEEEEE, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Any plane the President is on board is designated Air Force One. I know you’re half joking, but

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago

It's not just half

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 19 points 3 days ago

The quality of the average Tesla should be the target.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

I'm sure they're good enough right now, send 'em on over.

[–] nxn@biglemmowski.win 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (9 children)

IMO, the current administration is the biggest threat to democracy in the history of this nation, and right now its PR is being lead by a clown that paints his face orange each morning.

The right wants him replaced just as much as the left -- and preferably quickly enough that Vance might get 3 terms. So be careful what you wish for, because right now Trump is actually doing a phenomenal job of fueling outrage over project 2025 agendas. Someone with more intellect will be better able to mask their radical nature.

Oh... I am loving this! I hope he puts it on a rush job to be completed and in the air with Trump, and his whole cabinet on board within 1 month.

EDIT

I hope we come up with a US Navy 1 submersible too, built by Elon! Trump can get in the idiot squisher too!
