Elon Musk Makes Embarrassingly Stupid Claim: If Trump Loses, Humanity Will Never Make It to Mars
In a stunningly idiotic tweet, Musk asserted that "every great endeavor, from high-speed rail between our cities to making life multiplanetary," would be made "effectively illegal" if vice president Kamala Harris were to beat former president Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
"We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins," he added.
First off, humanity already reached Mars, starting way back in 1971 when the Soviet Union — which unlike the center-left Harris was an actual communist country — touched down its historic Mars 3 lander on the Red Planet.
The even dumber context is that Harris has chaired the White House's National Space Council for years, where she's been a vocal advocate of NASA who's respected by its leadership. In fact, she almost picked a former NASA astronaut as her running mate.
In other words, Musk's outburst is the high-grade brain rot of a powerful low-information voter who's suddenly realizing that his chosen candidate may not make it into the White House after all.
Needless to say, Musk's opposition to Harris almost certainly has more to do with his personal hunger for power than anything involving space exploration.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
