Geomagnetic storm toasts 40 of 49 SpaceX/Starlink Satellites. Musk is going need some burn ointment

[GoneOffShore]

Maybe Musk should change the name of SpaceX to Icarus?

SpaceX last week launched 49 shiny new Starlink broadband-beaming satellites, which is good. But 40 of them have already, or will shortly, meet their demise due to a geomagnetic storm that struck a few days after their ascent. Which is bad.

1. Elon Musk

Over promises and under delivers all the time every time. He is a poor engineer at best. Look at the seams of the panels on a Tesla-they don’t line up. They suck. He copies everything and is an evil asshole. May he have a rocket accident of his own soon!

He is what trump dreams to be and is part of team Putin.
Just watch his buddy Peter Thiel’s embrace of Moscow!

4. Not sure which of the two are the most evil - Thiel or Musk.

And you'd best watch out or the Tesla fanboi club will be all over you.

5. Two peas from the same pod

Tesla fan boys and girls please support away! It’s a shit car by any measurement. Where is my home electrical grid I was promised in 2016 is my first question and thanks in advance for the warning. Be easy on me keyboard warriors!

2. Probably going to write it off as a tax break, and get a government bail out.

6. Like Telsa

The company that starts with almost $1b in the bank from the federal government each FY take that away Joe.
Elon is a corporate welfare king.
Living real large off our tax $$ and does not pay a fucking penny.

7. Governments always take care of wealthy male power players.

3. He'll blame Democrat anti-Covid measures for this.

9. Don't Look Up (spoilers)

Where the Elon Musk-styled tech mogul who the President has charged with launching multiple probes to break apart the comet watches as more and more of the probes blow up or fail, and he keeps on insisting that the situation is fine and that they worked in the margin of error...

10. I'm in the control group for 'Don't Look Up' so spoilers are fine.

Now, if you'd posted spoilers for The Blacklist, I'd be pissed.
