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

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] overload@sopuli.xyz 32 points 1 month ago

Well, there are two planes being rushed...

Air force one and air force two hit eachother mid air 10 hour ASMR to fall asleep to.

Do it and take the entire republican leadership out for a joy ride. It will be the most spectacular thing ever.

I think glitch McCuntel has a pilot’s license. Let him and Jesus take the wheel.

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

You guys are all such a joke.

Sucks millions or billions will die when you blame the plane crash on Canada or Denmark or Ukraine.

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.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

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

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.

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.

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 62 points 1 month ago

"Trump dies in fatal Boeing crash, after rushing its production" is a headline id love to see

Finally, a Trump order I agree with

[-] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 month ago

Trump is completely right on this issue. Despite the fact his plane is produced by a company plagued with consistent quality control issues I believe this should be rushed into service as quickly as possible. In fact, I agree that the anyone including temp workers should be allowed in to get this thing in the air today.

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

IMO, the current administration is the biggest threat to democracy in the history of this nation, and right now its PR is being lead by a clown that paints his face orange each morning.

The right wants him replaced just as much as the left -- and preferably quickly enough that Vance might get 3 terms. So be careful what you wish for, because right now Trump is actually doing a phenomenal job of fueling outrage over project 2025 agendas. Someone with more intellect will be better able to mask their radical nature.

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!

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 month ago

Dear Boeing,

I know i said i wanted world peace. Hear me out.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

Could Musk be useful for something after all?

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Beside all the jokes that we want the president and trump to ride that plane together... He's on a mission to save as much money as possible and then he wants two new airplanes for himself???
