Futurama did it first.
Can we not indulge into the fantasy of a wanna be super villain?
Actually, I’m just here to ridicule it
Someone just watched Geostorm while on keta
That’s not how weather works you moron.
More interestingly, if he truly announced that idea, he’d have to be admitting climate change is real in the first place.
psst… “climate”… and pray tell, which energy source do you think powers the atmosphere to exhibit weather or climate?
Geothermal? Tidal? Nuclear isotope decay in the core?
All of the above Pat.
Alternative title: Ultra rich billionaire makes another idiotic suggestion
He just keeps getting more idiotic
Simpsons did it: https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Sun_Blocker
Fuck off Elon. Nobody likes you.
Don’t say that.
People constantly telling him that nobody likes him is how we got this megalomanic asshole in the first place. Like before he stole the idea for PayPal and was just getting in random fist fights with his brother, everybody seemed to hate him.
So like, it’s true, but Jesus keep it down. He’s probably got a ghost profile on Lemmy and uses it to virtually suck his own dick because it can’t be done physically anymore.
… He does realize they can’t just shit on international organizations like the UN and USAID and expect the rest of the world to follow them tow in line, right? Specially given this will affect those regions for whom climate change would actually be beneficial.
Anyway, this sounds more like a bullshit excuse to do nothing about the causes of climate change. This would have excessive costs of the solution and the maintenance that would likely have to be footed by society and not the people who do everything to avoid taxes like Musk. This would give polluters an excuse to pollute more and a way to put even more chokeholds around societies.
But even more fundamentally, climate change is due to things like carbon dioxide basically reflecting heat back onto the planet. Dampening sunlight doesn’t just block heat, it dampens the entire electromagnetic spectrum. For a speculative solution you would be adding additional problems ecosystems would have to deal with.
How about narcissistic self-obsessed psychopaths stop trying to milk society for all they have as fast and much as possible? They can start by paying taxes and not engineering entire political programs to subvert democracies for personal gain.
Why save Earth he’s going to live on Mars anyway. Can he just go already?
PS: plus he can stay there with his “girlfriend” https://www.theverge.com/news/814168/xai-grok-ani-employee-biometric-data damn I’d actually pay to actually help him go.
It wasn’t enough to help ruin the US, now he wants to fuck up the entire world.
We’re still paying attention to what this moron says?
The less attention we give him, the more insane his statements become like Kanye, or my 5 year old.
What the hell is that thumbnail. That’s nightmare fuel.
That’s a prototype satellite. All satellites will be use cutouts of Elon Musk in this pose to block off the sun.
We are going to build a wall around earth and make the aliens pay for it
Oh, as in launching a bunch of exploding space-shuttles to obscure the sun? Got it.
