This is him warming up to get some sweet DOD deals. I hope he gets them before Raytheon offs him. I want Tesla to manufacture all equipment for the us army
The headline is
But I hope he does try to "reform" the Us military, then they'll lose the next war even worse.
What if we simply didn't have a next war? Lots of countries in Africa and Europe and Asia have managed to avoid it for a long time.
Wait until he finds out real war doesn't have fog of war or tech trees, either.
"Fog of war" is a real thing but not what Musk thinks.
America should put that guy in the headline in charge of the weapons program, I mean those bazinga trucks work well right?
Is he saying that because he's intentionally fucking up the US?
Yes, the US will lose the next war. But imagine living through the last few years and thinking the problem isn’t in productive capabilities but rather that we need to put even more money into wunderwaffen that won’t actually work.
Germany circa 1944
Always enough money for war, while people die because they can't afford the over inflated price of insulin and inhalers.
I bet his solution is to bloat the war budget even more
Get ready for Musk to start WeaponsX or ArmsX or some dumb shit like that
I guess we should all copyright such company names, as a FU to Musk.
I'm looking forward to him trying to make music and getting sued by Xzibit
The Hitlerists had to get stalingraded before they started bullshitting people with their Wunderwaffen pipedreams, but i guess you can also just start with this while you're in the planning stage for your next war.
Edit: next wars, sorry. ofc they'll do the usual nazi shit and open up as many fronts as possible.
How do we get them to keep skipping ahead til they get to the bunker?
"we need all new icbm fleet built by SpaceX"
Tesla AI powered m4s to every troop. No questions. Also have Elon have a crack at editing the F35s code
Or one of his 19 year old incel interns.
Prepare for a thousand F-35 sinkholes.
I'm hyped for the re-invented wunderwaffe. Maybe we get the V3 going again but this time it's just his shitty hyperloop tunnel at a 45 angle acting like that ping pong ball vacuum cannon from myth busters.
Bit idea: convince Musk and Trump bolo warfare is the future and have them build 30,000 ton tanks powered by AI.
My guy you can't even win at videogames you are not a military strategist. That said he's probably right just because it is fucking obvious.
idk paying people to win games for you is a pretty good strategy, don't know how well it'd translate to irl military strategy though lol
I mean that’s basically how it’s done: pay a bunch of soldiers to fight the war for you
Mercenaries, e.g., Blackwater or whatever the fuck they've changed their names to in order to avoid prosecution for war crimes
I think they're Academi now
really? he thinks the amount of weapons are the problem? and not that there's nowhere near enough manpower who are motivated enough to sacrifice their life for pocket change and the noble goal of raising profits for some delusional oligarchs?
He doesn't think he needs manpower because he can simply use AI
Will this be how we get skynet / A. M. ? Bazinga kill bots where you have to pay a monthly subscription to not be hunted for sport
