Fucking lol. Bet this is just another way for Elon to grift some more sweet sweet DoD money. Suddenly the army is going to "need" 10k milspec cybertrucks at $10million a pop. You know, for efficiency.
- Eventually Trump's gonna go in front of the media and say something like "We gotta get new missiles. Elon's making new missiles - future generation hyper 100 times sound so very, very fast. $500 billion contract to HyperMissile..." There's no information about HyperMissile anywhere. But HyperMissile.com was created the day before and the only thing on the website is a ginormous poop emoji.

  Ah, Musk has fired me as head of marketing and hired you instead. Drat.
  
  It's so easy to predict what Musk will name his things lmao
  Surprised Tesla isn't renamed AutoX and when he does planes AeroX.
  WeaponX is also extremely Musky for a weapons division.
  
  SeX for reproduction
  
  Wasn’t that the naming scheme?
  Model S
  Model 3
  Model X
  Model Y
  Edit: I had no idea Tesla actually made the model Y since it looks exactly like the model X but is bigger
  
  Wait is that for real? So cringe
  
  So much commitment to a shitty joke and then the shitty website isnt even formatted properly for a payoff.
  
  The American version of the V2 rocket killing more people in production than it did in combat.

  Slave laborers. I just needed to be a bit pedantic.

  I wanted to leave a Wikipedia link and quote here but pages had no easily quotable stuff. I do not want to link to a .mil page but it's convenient.
  German V-Weapons: Desperate Measures > National Museum of the United States Air Force™ > Display
  The Nazis used forced labor to build V-weapons and an estimated 20,000 people died producing them in brutal work-camp conditions.
  As if "forced labor" wasn't creepy enough - the following paragraph makes things even creepier. I wonder if that was intentional. Hey, they might have used ~~slaves~~ forced labor but there was significant technological advancement!
  Both the V-1 and V-2 foreshadowed future weapons development. The V-1 Buzz Bomb's pilotless, self-guided aircraft features reappeared in later cruise missiles, and the V-2, as the first practical rocket-guided ballistic missile, pointed the way toward nuclear-armed ballistic missiles..
  
  ...i think season two is on disney+ in april...
- First you need the period of Elon Musk being publicly anti-grift until he realises it's a grift and he can get in on it. He's gonna go out and talk about the mic being corrupt and then, in a few days, when someone has explained it with enough bazinga terms, will he understand that yes it is corrupt and would you like some money Elon?
  Then he's gotta fuck up the grift somehow. Tale as old as time.
- Sadly, as much as I hope for really funny things to happen, this will be what he does.
- with dual redundant star link satellite receivers built-in
