Life Imitating Art

It is quite true that reality and fiction feed off each other.... a kind of symbiotic feedback loop.

It seems Elon (Yes the one we know) apparently has taken his 'Tony Stark' persona to the next level. Since I read he challenged Putin to 'single combat'.

Well no publicity is bad publicity if someone else is already the target of it right?

So he really loses nothing and only gains good publicity in the process from fanboys and many others.

I do not take Elon seriously anymore here than I believe he thinks Putin will accept his offer.

Although if conflicts could be resolved as in the Minbari Starfire Wheel from Babylon 5.... things would involve less destruction overall.

Ultimately, yes, he's definitely using the full power of celebrity worship to his benefit. And this provokes a bit of a gag reflex in the celebrity-averse.

Either way, I don't think it's wise to trade witticisms with those in possession of both kinetic and non-kinetic ASATs. Whether space infrastructure supporting combat operations is a legitimate military target is still an open question, and The Times have been inconsiderate enough to publish a graphic of Starlink being used as a tactical military datalink, likely feeding off said celebrity cult. Fist-pumping and calls for an immediate inducement of Kessler syndrome by the anti-Musketeers ensued.

Hi, Boca-Chica.

Bye, Boca-Chica.

P.S.
After the Falcon explosion they were searching for another company snipers.

Now we know, what will be the explanation of the first Starship failed launch.

I'll just leave this here
