Elon's Thirty Years of Lies...

Reminder: Elon Musk, whose Starship just blew up on the test stand (with extra fuel tanks piled beside it), was allowed for THIRTY YEARS to lie about his training in science. He started lying in 1995, got trapped in the lie - and suffered no consequences. But physics itself has consequences. 1/

Read & understand: NO federal science can happen anymore without approval of Elon's DOGE kiddies, 23-year-old crypto bros as overconfident as he was. Your tax dollars, our science heritage, are run by mini-mes of the man who just blew up a Starship on the ground. 4/

If it weren't for their rich daddies, neither one would qualify to be a third-shift manager at the local Greaseburgers 'R' Us.
