"Elon, where do you get your brilliant ideas from?"

"Well, they just come to me. Because Im so brilliant."

"So not from other people that you then repackage ?

"No."

"You dont just buy companies, and slap an 'I made this' sticker on it?"

"Not from popular cartoons from over 20 years ago?"

".... go fuck yourself!"

“A large solar-powered AI satellite constellation would be able to prevent global warming by making tiny adjustments in how much solar energy reached Earth,” Musk tweeted, apropos of seemingly nothing.

“It would only take tiny adjustments to prevent global warming or global cooling for that matter,” he added. “Earth has been a snowball many times in the past.”

People are over complicating this whole thing really.

History has the answers we need to the climate crisis. If we just offer the weather goblin a fine wheel of fresh cheese and four comely maidens he will reverse climate change and we will all have both a bountiful harvest and a plump red apple as his thanks.

Hell if we just launch enough satellites we won't have to worry about the pesky sun. /s

It wasn't enough to help ruin the US, now he wants to fuck up the entire world.

I am sure he does not plan to serve those satellites to world's fascist regimes, why would he

Fuck it. Let's just make a Dyson sphere. If you can already circle the planet with enough satellites to cool it while letting plants still grow you're well on your way

The sun is a bit bigger than the earth. Dyson sphere goes around the star, not the planet.

Ooohhh, more lies out of the mouth of Elon? You don't say!

Well if his Mars target dates are anything to go by (2018 first feet on Mars, right? And where are we with that now? Maybe but not even 1%) then this project would be completed by the year 2489
