Please have Boeing do this. Focus on the doors.

trump killing himself by using Musk to skirt safety precautions so he can feel special riding around in a shiny new ego tube might be enough to get me wondering if god exists.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

Ordinarily, the implied result would be sad due to the press corps flies on air Force one as well, but now that they've replaced all reputable news outlets with Fox clones... Let's do this!

Hurry Elon, hurry. Godspeed.

Oh! Wouldn't that be a nice resolution...

Put the President and Trump on an unsafe plane and sent that bitch on a nice long flight over the ocean.

Could Musk be useful for something after all?

Look do you really need to tighten every screw? Maybe skip every 8th one or use the aluminum screws instead of the steel ones - then you can carry more screws.

I have lots of ideas how they could speed this up.

Oh wow, what's the worst that could happen, they skip safety and defense features and the plane gets shot down and the president killed? Oh man, that would be horrible, just horrible!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

It's good they chose Boeing to build it lol

Seems like an opportunity for Musk to create plausible deniability for taking the throne.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Two new Air Force One

Two new

One

REEEEEEE, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Any plane the President is on board is designated Air Force One. I know you’re half joking, but

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

It's not just half

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

The less safe the better.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

This could be amazing.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Finally a positive news :)

The only bad part about the obvious outcome here is that we'll have the 9/11 and JFK conspiracy theorist types jerking themselves raw about how it was absolutely a conspiracy to assassinate him.

Would it be so bad if it was?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah, they'll say that no matter how he dies. "Deep state operatives made him eat that fatal cheeseberder on the toilet!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Or, "He died because the CIA has a fatal colonic catastrophe ray".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

He'll get the pox and they'll have to cook up some kind of "ultra super duper deep state, for real this time" to blame it on

Just throw a door plug in that sucker, Boeing

Please, God, if you're listening, do something really really funny with this.

With the recent history in aviation, I'm going to be praying like mad. Please tell me they're still Boeing products?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Holy shit so many desperate prayers in one thread

I think they can be convinced to pause their game of Jenga or Connect Four for a few minutes of structural integrity or engine failure

Isn’t musk too busy taking credit for being the ceo of Tesla? And space x and the boring company, solar city,, oh yeh and twitter. Oh and wasn’t he supposed to be going through every social security payment? How will he find the time to jerk off on twitter while fixing Air Force one and all the faa safety standards. He must really be a genius (hardest fucking sigh in the universe)
