9 years ago, Musk got big coverage for saying that his target for manned flights to Mars was 2025.Not to mention the rocket that’s supposed to get us to Mars, keeps blowing up off the coast of Florida.
2025 has arrived. Those flights to Mars have not. Instead Musk has destroyed a social media co, is destroying a car co, and is wrecking US govt + US economy.

Kurt Vonnegut was onto Elon Musk twenty years before Elon was born in 1959 at the dawn of the space age in his novel The Sirens of Titan. Elmo is the Malachi Constant, world's richest man, character Vonnegut predicted who becomes UNK and leads from behind by strangling his best friend, Stony Stevenson, when their Men from Mars invade Earth. Constant recovers his identity in a cavern on Mercury and gets exiled to Titan by Winston Niles Rumfoord, discoverer of the chronosynclastic infundibulum, and meets up with Salo, a robot from Tralfamadore, who has spent the last 200,000 years waiting there on Titan for mankind to make its one giant leap into outer space. A brilliant satire that only gets better with each passing year.
