An underpaid Boeing engineer has a chance to accidentally do one of the funniest, most earth saving oopsies of all time.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don’t think they let the VP travel in the same plane at the same time so probably not as earth saving as you’d expect. Definitely very funny though.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Well, there are two planes being rushed...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

So we can put Musk on one plane, then Vance and Trump on the other one, perfect

Yes, please. Make it super fast, and super shitty so it crashes the first time Trump uses it.

Boeing, Musk, and a rushed time frame? I've rarely seen a better recipe for disaster. Maybe we are lucky and Trump and his cronies just fall from the sky even on the first flight.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The worst that can happen is the plane falls out of the sky and some how Trump survives while everyone else dies.

It would be a nice reminder that a disaster isn't the same thing as a tragedy.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don't know, President Vance sounds like a tragedy to me...

Better an uncharismatic couch fucker being unable to talk his way out of hot water than a geriatric orange Hitler.

hes allegedly searched up dolphin paraphelia before too.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, there's no way he'd be on the Air Force One. He's always flying couch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I read that as Crybaby Force One X.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Oh no. Quick. Someone stop him.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

If Musk can fly a rocket, Trump reportedly told associates, per the NYT, he can probably fly an airplane.

He's never been on one of his rockets. He's too chickenshit. Fuck Bezos, but at least he had the balls to go up on a Blue Origin rocket. If you think Musk is ever going to Mars, you're wrong.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

he knows his rockets are shoddy at best, why would he. has he ever driven his own teslas?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I hear Boeing is great at getting planes finished remarkably quickly...>.>
