'What About The Whales'? Elon Musk Tells Funny But Maddening Story About Government Overregulation
Posted • October 21, 2024: There isn't a facet of life the government doesn't think it should have a say in.

If Starship did hit a whale, honestly, it’s like the whale had it coming, cause the odds are… so low. It’s like Final Destination: Whale Edition. And then they said, 'What if the rocket goes underwater, then explodes, and the whales have hearing damage?' This is real! (…)
